PUNKTFUNK_GAMEPAD=dualsense now routes a session's gamepad through a real virtual
DualSense (UHID + hid-playstation) end to end:
- host: a `PadBackend` enum (m3.rs) selects `GamepadManager` (uinput xpad, default)
or the new `DualSenseManager` (dualsense.rs) per session. The manager keeps each
pad's full DsState so touchpad + motion (rich-input plane) persist across
button/stick frames, and services the !Send /dev/uhid fd only on the input thread
(which cycles <=4ms, so the GET_REPORT init handshake completes).
- feedback: `service()` now returns `DsFeedback { hidout, rumble }`. Motor rumble
stays on the universal 0xCA plane (so non-DualSense clients still feel it; manager
dedups change); lightbar / player LEDs / adaptive-trigger effects ride the new
0xCD HID-output plane (host->client) as `HidOutput`.
- rich input: touchpad contacts + motion ride the 0xCC plane (client->host) as
`RichInput`, applied via `DualSenseManager::apply_rich` (merged with button state;
touch normalized 0..65535 -> the touchpad resolution).
- connector + C ABI: `NativeClient::next_hidout` / `send_rich_input`, exported as
`punktfunk_connection_next_hidout` (-> PunktfunkHidOutput) and
`punktfunk_connection_send_rich_input` (<- PunktfunkRichInput); header regenerated.
- reference client: `--rich-input-test` drives the DualSense touchpad + motion and
logs the 0xCD feedback that comes back.
Validated live on-box: a synthetic-source m3-host + client-rs created the real
kernel DualSense, drove 0xCC, and decoded 12 live 0xCD events (the kernel's actual
lightbar/trigger init reports) with the data plane unaffected (600/600 frames).
Adversarial review fixes folded in: the input loop no longer skips the rich drain +
feedback pump on a dropped gamepad event, and the touch contact id is clamped to its
slot. Remaining: the Apple client renders triggers/rumble on a real DualSense.

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.

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-coreexactly once, exposed over a stable, versioned C ABI (punktfunk_abi_version(),PunktfunkConfigcarries its ownstruct_size). - No async on the hot path. The per-frame pipeline uses native threads only;
tokio/quinnare gated behind the off-by-defaultquicfeature (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.
