Two bodies of work in one commit (the rename moved files the fixes also touched). Naming/structure cleanup (pre-launch): - Host modules m3.rs->punktfunk1.rs, m0.rs->spike.rs; CLI m3-host->punktfunk1-host, m0->spike; bare `punktfunk-host` now prints help. Types M3Options/M3Source-> Punktfunk1Options/Punktfunk1Source. - Clients consolidated out of crates/ into clients/: punktfunk-client-rs-> clients/probe (crate punktfunk-probe), client-linux->clients/linux, client-windows->clients/windows, punktfunk-android->clients/android/native (crate punktfunk-client-android; kept [lib] name=punktfunk_android so the JNI contract is unchanged). crates/ now holds only core + host. - Milestone codes M0-M4 purged from code/CLI/CLAUDE.md/README/docs/docs-site, kept only in docs/implementation-plan.md. docs/m2-plan.md-> docs/gamestream-host-plan.md. CI/gradle/flatpak paths updated. Client loss-recovery (video froze and never recovered after a brief drop): - Export punktfunk_connection_frames_dropped through the C ABI (the core already tracked it for the client keyframe-recovery loop; it was never reachable from the ABI clients). Regenerated punktfunk_core.h. - Apple (StreamPump + Stage2Pipeline) and Android (decode.rs) now poll frames_dropped and request a keyframe when it climbs -- the same loss-driven recovery Linux/Windows already had. Under infinite GOP the decoder silently conceals reference-missing frames, so the decode-error trigger rarely fires. Apple rumble robustness (worked then went spotty -- DualSense + Xbox): - Add CHHapticEngine stopped/reset handlers (rebuild on app background / audio interruption / server reset) and drop the permanent `broken` latch on a transient drive failure; latch only when the controller truly has no haptics. - Surface swallowed SDL set_rumble errors on Linux/Windows + diagnostic logging. Verified: cargo build/clippy/fmt --workspace, C-ABI harness, header drift. Not runnable on this box (verify in CI): Gitea workflows, gradle/Android, flatpak, Swift/decky.

| Running as a Service | Start the host at boot — for a desktop you log into, or a fully headless always-on machine. |
Running serve --native in a terminal is fine for trying punktfunk out. To make a machine an
always-available host, run it as a service. There are two cases.
A. A desktop you log into
If you sit at the machine (or it auto-logs-in to a desktop), run the host as a systemd user service that starts with your session:
mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user
cp scripts/punktfunk-host.service ~/.config/systemd/user/
# Put your host.env in place first — see the setup guide for your desktop.
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable --now punktfunk-host
The host now starts whenever you log in. Check it with systemctl --user status punktfunk-host.
B. A headless, always-on host
To run with no monitor and no login — a machine in a closet that's always ready — you need two things: a desktop session that comes up at boot, and the host service started without a login.
Start by making the host service start at boot even when nobody logs in:
sudo loginctl enable-linger "$USER"
Then bring up a session automatically, depending on your desktop:
Headless GNOME
Have GDM auto-login your user, so a GNOME Wayland session is always running:
# /etc/gdm3/custom.conf (Ubuntu) · /etc/gdm/custom.conf (Fedora)
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable = true
AutomaticLogin = your-user
Then disable the screen lock — a locked GNOME session blocks screen capture, and there's no one to unlock a headless box:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-enabled false
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 0
Enable the host user service (section A) and reboot. The host comes up on the auto-login session.
Headless KDE
punktfunk ships a unit that brings up a headless KWin/Plasma session with no display manager, so the host has a desktop to stream even with no monitor attached:
cp scripts/punktfunk-kde-session.service scripts/punktfunk-host.service ~/.config/systemd/user/
# host.env: PUNKTFUNK_COMPOSITOR=kwin, WAYLAND_DISPLAY=wayland-kde
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl --user enable punktfunk-kde-session punktfunk-host
sudo loginctl enable-linger "$USER"
reboot
The session unit starts headless KWin; the host unit follows it and starts listening. (KWin only needs to be up by the time a client connects, so the ordering is soft.)
Headless Bazzite
On Bazzite, the host launches its own gamescope/Steam session per client, so you don't need a separate session unit — see Bazzite.
Verifying
After a reboot, from another machine on the network:
punktfunk-probe --discover # or just look for the host in the Apple app / Moonlight
If the host is listed, it's up. If not, check journalctl --user -u punktfunk-host on the host.
