feat(host): virtual DualSense via UHID (hid-playstation) — device + report mapping
Roadmap #5 (rich DualSense). A UHID device presents a real Sony DualSense to the kernel's
hid-playstation driver (matched by VID 054C/PID 0CE6), which exposes the full controller —
gamepad, motion sensors, touchpad, lightbar/player LEDs, adaptive triggers — unlike the
uinput X-Box-360 pad.

- inject/dualsense.rs: hand-rolled /dev/uhid codec (no bindgen) mirroring the uinput style;
  the canonical inputtino 232-byte USB HID report descriptor + the feature-report replies
  (calibration 0x05 / pairing 0x09 / firmware 0x20) — answering hid-playstation's GET_REPORTs
  during init is REQUIRED or it creates no input devices. DsState::from_gamepad maps a
  GameStream/XInput frame → the DualSense input report (buttons/sticks/triggers/dpad, +
  touchpad/motion fields); service() answers GET_REPORTs and parses HID OUTPUT (rumble /
  lightbar RGB / player LEDs / adaptive triggers) into quic::HidOutput.
- scripts/60-punktfunk.rules: grant /dev/uhid to the 'input' group (like /dev/uinput).
- `punktfunk-host dualsense-test`: standalone validation (no streaming session).

Validated live: `dualsense-test` → hid-playstation binds + loads ff_memless + led_class_
multicolor; the kernel creates "Punktfunk DualSense 0" (event/js gamepad + Motion Sensors +
Touchpad + Headset Jack) at VID 054c/PID 0ce6, plus the lightbar at /sys/class/leds/
input*:rgb:indicator; js shows the Cross button firing + the left-stick sweep. Clippy/fmt
clean, workspace tests green. Wiring into the session (pad-type select, touchpad/motion
routing, HID-output back-channel) is the next commit.

punktfunk

A ground-up low-latency desktop streaming stack, built Linux-first, with a shared Rust protocol core and native clients per platform.

punktfunk is a placeholder codename. The bet: ship a Linux virtual-display streaming host that speaks the existing Moonlight protocol (every Moonlight/Artemis client works day one), then break the ~1 Gbps FEC wall with a GF(2¹⁶) Leopard-RS transport as a negotiated extension. See docs/implementation-plan.md.

Status

Milestone State
M1 — punktfunk-core + C ABI done & tested (FEC, packetization, crypto, session, punktfunk_core.h)
M0 — pipeline spike (wlroots→PipeWire→NVENC→file→punktfunk-core) done & verified on NVIDIA (RTX 5070 Ti / driver 595)
M2 — P1 host → stock Moonlight 🟡 capture+encode landed in M0; pairing/RTSP/vdisplay pending
M3 — measurement harness 🟡 tools/loss-harness runs; latency-probe scaffolded
M4 — P2 transport + Rust client 🟡 GF(2¹⁶) core done; punktfunk-client-rs scaffolded
M5 — Apple client 🟡 macOS first light: HEVC on glass + input over punktfunk/1 (clients/apple)

punktfunk-core is complete and verified: it builds and its full test suite (FEC recovery, loopback round-trip under loss, property tests, and a C ABI harness) passes on macOS/aarch64. M0 is done: punktfunk-host captures a headless wlroots output via the ScreenCast portal + PipeWire, encodes it with NVENC, writes a playable H.265 file, and round-trips every access unit through a punktfunk_core host→client session (see docs/linux-setup.md). M2 is in flight: the GameStream control plane (gamestream/) and the management REST API (mgmt.rs, OpenAPI spec in docs/api/) are implemented; the remaining Linux host backends (KWin/Mutter virtual displays, libei input) are #[cfg(target_os = "linux")] seams — defined and compiling, implementations pending.

Layout

crates/
  punktfunk-core/        protocol · FEC · pacing · crypto — the C ABI (lib + cdylib + staticlib)
  punktfunk-host/        Linux host: vdisplay · capture · encode · inject · gamestream · mgmt
  punktfunk-client-rs/   reference client (M4): VAAPI decode + wgpu present
clients/{apple,android}/   native client scaffolds (import punktfunk_core.h)
include/punktfunk_core.h       cbindgen-generated C header (checked in)

Build & test

cargo build --workspace          # green on Linux and macOS
cargo test  --workspace          # unit + loopback + proptest + C ABI harness
cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets

cargo run -p loss-harness        # FEC loss-resilience sweep (no network needed)
bash crates/punktfunk-core/tests/c/run.sh   # standalone C-ABI link+round-trip proof

The C header regenerates from crates/punktfunk-core/src/abi.rs on every build (cbindgen via build.rs) into include/punktfunk_core.h.

Design invariants

  • One core, linked everywhere. Protocol/FEC/crypto/pacing live in punktfunk-core exactly once, exposed over a stable, versioned C ABI (punktfunk_abi_version(), PunktfunkConfig carries its own struct_size).
  • No async on the hot path. The per-frame pipeline uses native threads only; tokio/quinn are gated behind the off-by-default quic feature (control plane only).
  • FEC is the wall-breaker. GF(2⁸) (≤255 shards/block) for Moonlight compat; GF(2¹⁶) (≤65535 shards/block, SIMD, O(n log n)) to push past ~1 Gbps.
