cargo tree -p punktfunk-client-session finds no ffmpeg. The host still does, which is the whole point: pf-encode keeps libavcodec unconditionally and no host workflow, packaging script or licence file was touched. Deleted: crates/pf-ffvk, video_vulkan.rs, video_vaapi.rs, video_libav.rs, the libavcodec half of video_d3d11.rs, the av_log machinery, ffmpeg::codec::Id as the decoder's vocabulary (the quic CODEC_* wire constants now serve, which is why the evidence table was keyed on them), DecodedImage::VkFrame and ::Dmabuf, the presenter's AVVkFrame lane, and the ffmpeg-fallback feature with everything behind it. DrmFrameGuard collapses from an enum to a newtype, which removes an unsafe impl Send. Roughly 25,000 lines. Then the CI, packaging, licensing and docs work the plan's §6 lists: the Windows workflows lose FFMPEG_DIR, PF_FFVK_VULKAN_INCLUDE and their PATH prepend; the MSIX loses its DLL wildcard; the client .deb stops emitting libav sonames on its own because depends come from dpkg-shlibdeps; arch, flatpak and nix drop the dependency; and the README's "FFmpeg 7 or 8" contract narrows to the host. Three defects reached users' machines in the first cut, and none was in the deletion itself. All three desktop Settings UIs offer vulkan, vaapi and d3d11va as stored decoder values, so those strings sit in shipped settings files today. Refusing them by name — which is the correct rule for a stale pin — would have bricked every upgraded client whose owner ever touched that dropdown. They now migrate onto the native rung for the same hardware family, at decoder construction AND at each dialog's lookup, because a legacy value that matches no preset displays as "Automatic" and silently rewrites the user's preference on the next save. M9's evidence filter was deleted on the argument that with no libavcodec twin below, barring an unproven rung removes hardware decode rather than moving down one rung. That is true on Windows and false on Linux for Intel and every unknown vendor id, where prefer_vulkan_first is false and the order is native-vaapi → native-vk: a rung that has decoded nothing anywhere sitting above one that is 250/250 on three drivers. Every Intel Linux desktop would have moved from libavcodec VAAPI, shipping for years, onto pf-vaadec by default — and a rung that constructs and then produces wrong pixels leaves only by the error-streak demotion, which this codebase already documents as not tripping on the B580's strobing. The filter is restored as a narrow, pure, testable rule: an unproven rung yields to a proven one, and to nothing else. Windows deliberately passes no rung below, because that vendor family is the one with a measured wrong-pixel report against Vulkan decode, and trading no evidence for evidence of corruption is the wrong direction. And the notices still said FFmpeg was bundled. The root file is what both desktop clients include_str! and what the MSIX ships, three lines under the new card saying no FFmpeg is bundled; Apple's Acknowledgements said it too, on iOS, tvOS and macOS. The generator now emits four per-client files scoped by transitive closure — 0 FFmpeg mentions in each, verified — while the root file keeps it for the host. That also ends the standing false attribution of ffmpeg-next, GTK4, windows-rs and the NVENC SDK to an iPhone. Windows has no reachable box, so it was compiled instead: a cross clippy at -D warnings on x86_64 and aarch64-pc-windows-msvc with the C toolchain stubbed so build scripts run without linking. That gate immediately caught an include_str! path one directory too deep, which nothing else could have. Gates: container clippy -D warnings, 160 tests, workspace check, both Windows targets clean, client ffmpeg count 0 and host 2. The four decode crates are untouched, so the hardware rungs' 250/250 stands. ⚠ Owed and unrun: no GPU has executed any of this milestone. M8's on-glass software check, M7's D3D11 and VAAPI AV1 hardware legs, and M9's field bake all still want hardware, and the bake window and criteria remain the user's.

# punktfunk-session
|
|
|
|
The Vulkan session binary: one stream per invocation in an SDL3 window — no UI toolkit,
|
|
no widgets, terminal stats. The power-user / gamescope stream client, and the stage-2
|
|
presenter of the Linux client re-architecture (punktfunk-planning:
|
|
`linux-client-rearchitecture.md`).
|
|
|
|
This binary is deliberately dumb: a renderer the front-ends call INTO — the GTK shell
|
|
(`punktfunk-client`), the WinUI shell, and the `punktfunk` CLI all spawn it through the
|
|
same brain (`pf_client_core::orchestrate`), which resolves policy (profiles, settings,
|
|
wake) and hands the result down, normally as a `--resolved-spec` file. It reads the
|
|
shared stores only as the compat fallback for a bare hand-launched invocation.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
punktfunk-session --connect host[:port] [--fp HEX] [--launch id] [--fullscreen] [--stats]
|
|
punktfunk-session --browse host[:port] [--mgmt PORT] [--fullscreen]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`--browse` opens the console game library (the Skia coverflow over the animated aurora)
|
|
instead of connecting: A launches the focused title as a stream in the same window,
|
|
session end returns to the library, B quits (Gaming Mode returns). Paired hosts only —
|
|
pairing is the desktop client / Decky plugin's job. `PUNKTFUNK_FAKE_LIBRARY=<file.json>`
|
|
feeds canned entries with no host (portrait paths starting with `/` load from disk).
|
|
|
|
Reads the same identity / known-hosts / settings stores as the desktop client
|
|
(`punktfunk-client`), so enrolling on either side makes the other work; this binary never
|
|
connects to a host it has no pinned fingerprint for (`--fp HEX` overrides the store).
|
|
|
|
Pairing is `punktfunk pair <host>` — the CLI, which ships alongside this binary in every
|
|
package and needs no window and no toolkit either. `punktfunk-session --pair` still works
|
|
for one release (someone's provisioning script calls it today) but prints a deprecation
|
|
notice: pairing is a trust ceremony and belongs to the brain, not a renderer.
|
|
|
|
Stdout is the machine interface: `{"ready":true}` after the first presented frame,
|
|
`stats: …` once per second while the overlay tier isn't Off (always the full detailed
|
|
text, whatever the OSD shows; `--stats` forces the overlay on), one
|
|
`{"error"|"ended": …}` JSON line on the way out. Logs go to stderr. Exit codes: `0`
|
|
clean end, `2` connect failed, `3` trust rejected / pairing required, `4` presenter
|
|
init failed.
|
|
|
|
In-stream keys match the desktop client: click captures input (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Q
|
|
releases), Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D disconnects, F11 toggles fullscreen; the controller escape
|
|
chord (L1+R1+Start+Select, hold to disconnect) works the same.
|
|
|
|
The default build carries the Skia console UI (`ui` feature): the stats OSD and capture
|
|
hint render in-window. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S cycles the OSD tier live — Off → Compact (one
|
|
line: fps · latency · Mb/s) → Normal (mode + end-to-end percentiles) → Detailed (decoder
|
|
path + per-stage latency equation); any tier but Off also emits the stdout mirror.
|
|
`--no-default-features` is the ~5 MB power-user build — same streaming, stats on stdout
|
|
only, no Skia anywhere in the dependency tree.
|
|
|
|
Decode follows the Settings preference (auto is vendor-ordered: Vulkan Video → VAAPI →
|
|
software on Linux, Vulkan Video → D3D11VA → software on Windows, with VAAPI/D3D11VA first
|
|
on Intel — every rung native since M10; see "Decode rungs" below): the Vulkan decoder runs
|
|
on the presenter's own device where the stack supports it (every vendor, zero copy); VAAPI
|
|
dmabufs import per-plane elsewhere (D3D11VA textures on Windows); software is the universal
|
|
fallback. 10-bit Main10 and HDR10 are advertised (`VIDEO_CAP_10BIT|HDR`): P010 decodes
|
|
through the Vulkan and VAAPI/D3D11VA paths (the CPU rung is 8-bit by contract and refuses
|
|
10-bit rather than mis-scaling it), and PQ streams present
|
|
on an HDR10/ST.2084 swapchain when the desktop offers one (KDE HDR, gamescope) or
|
|
tone-map in-shader to SDR when it doesn't (`PUNKTFUNK_TONEMAP_PEAK` tunes the rolloff,
|
|
default ≈1000 nits). The host still gates the upgrade behind its `PUNKTFUNK_10BIT`
|
|
policy.
|
|
|
|
## Decode rungs (M10: native only)
|
|
|
|
**This binary contains no FFmpeg.** `auto` walks native rungs — pf-vkdecode over Vulkan
|
|
Video, then the platform's own (pf-dxvadec on Windows, pf-vaadec on Linux), then the CPU
|
|
rung (openh264/rav1d). The libavcodec rungs that used to sit under each of them are
|
|
deleted, along with `pf-ffvk` and the `ffmpeg-next` dependency.
|
|
|
|
Two of the native rungs have never decoded a frame on real hardware (native VAAPI at all;
|
|
native D3D11VA's AV1 leg). They run anyway — with the libavcodec twins gone, the only
|
|
thing below them is the CPU, so barring them would cost the session hardware decode
|
|
outright rather than move it one rung down. What replaces the safety net is the log: every
|
|
session names the rung it landed on with its evidence state,
|
|
|
|
decode rung active rung=native-vulkan codec=HEVC hardware_verified=true evidence=...
|
|
|
|
…and that line is a **WARNING** when nothing has ever decoded a frame through the
|
|
rung/codec pair the session chose. `pf-client-core`'s `video.rs` module docs carry the full
|
|
table; read any field report about M10 against it.
|
|
|
|
Debug/bisect knobs: `PUNKTFUNK_DECODER=native-vulkan|native-vaapi|native-d3d11va|software`
|
|
(a pin skips the vendor order, which is how a lab run reaches a rung `auto` will not pick
|
|
on this device; a pinned rung that cannot open still falls through to the standard ladder,
|
|
loudly; `native-vaapi` also takes `PUNKTFUNK_VAAPI_DEVICE=/dev/dri/renderDNNN` to choose
|
|
the GPU). The pre-M10 spellings `vulkan`/`vaapi`/`d3d11va` named the libavcodec rungs
|
|
specifically; they are MIGRATED onto the native rung for the same hardware family, with a
|
|
`warn` line saying so — every desktop Settings UI offered those values, so refusing them
|
|
would end a session over a dropdown someone picked long ago.
|
|
`PUNKTFUNK_PRESENT_MODE=
|
|
mailbox|fifo|immediate|fifo_relaxed` (default MAILBOX, FIFO where the surface offers no
|
|
MAILBOX — AMD on Windows), `PUNKTFUNK_VK_DEVICE=<index>` (multi-GPU), and
|
|
`PUNKTFUNK_HW_FAULT=import` (fault every VAAPI dmabuf import — proves the three-strike
|
|
demotion to software on healthy hardware).
|
|
|
|
`PUNKTFUNK_AU_FAULT=drop|truncate|flip[:period]` deliberately corrupts decoder input on the
|
|
native Vulkan lane (default period 60 — one AU a second at 60 fps; inert everywhere else, and
|
|
inert entirely if the value doesn't parse). `drop` swallows the AU, so the next one references a
|
|
picture that was never decoded — the bitstream planner catches it immediately. `truncate` delivers
|
|
a picture whose slice data stops mid-frame and `flip` alters one byte deep in the payload: both
|
|
parse perfectly, so only the driver's per-frame decode-status query can see them, and neither is
|
|
visible at all on a driver without `queryResultStatusSupport`. Watch the
|
|
result on the Detailed stats line's `integrity:` term (`damaged` = concealment the planner caught,
|
|
`refused` = AUs the decoder rejected outright, `driver-failed` = the hardware's own verdict, `run`
|
|
= consecutive frames with no picture, `worst run` = the longest such stretch of the session — the
|
|
once-a-second `run` sample misses the bad moment almost every time — and `no driver status` = this
|
|
device cannot answer the driver question at all). A session that lands on any other lane says so
|
|
in the log rather than faulting silently.
|
|
|
|
Note that `PUNKTFUNK_AU_DUMP` records the AU as it arrived from the HOST, while the fault injector
|
|
runs later, at the native decoder's own entry. On a faulted run the dump is therefore the clean
|
|
bitstream — reconstruct the damaged bytes from the spec if you need them (the injector is pure and
|
|
deterministic).
