Validated live on an RTX 4090 (Windows 11) host streaming to the Rust
reference client over the LAN: SudoVDA virtual display → DXGI Desktop
Duplication (D3D11 zero-copy) → NVENC HEVC → punktfunk/1. 720p60 and
1080p60 both clean (181 / 177 frames, 0 mismatched, p50 1.6 / 3.45 ms
cross-machine), coexisting with Apollo. Two real-hardware bugs the
GPU-less VM couldn't surface:
- DXGI capturer: the SudoVDA virtual monitor's DXGI output is enumerated
under the GPU that *renders* it (the 4090, LUID 0x15df6), NOT under the
SudoVDA "adapter" LUID SudoVDA reports (0x23276). Restricting the output
search to that LUID found nothing → "adapter has no output named
\\.\DISPLAYn". Now search ALL adapters for the GDI name, bind the D3D11
device to whichever adapter exposes it (NVENC then shares that device),
with a settle-retry (the output appears a beat after display creation)
and topology logging.
- native_pairing / apps: keyed config paths off raw $HOME, which a Windows
service/scheduled-task context doesn't set → "HOME unset" hard-fail at
m3-host startup. Route both through gamestream::config_dir(), which falls
back to %APPDATA% on Windows (cert/paired/apps now under AppData\Roaming).
clippy -D warnings + build green on x86_64-pc-windows-msvc (default and
--features nvenc) and Linux (78/78 tests).
