The host renders its own cursor from our raw deltas, so the local macOS cursor both stays visible and drifts away from the remote one — and it can wander out of the window, where a click focuses another app. While the stream has focus, do what Moonlight does: warp the cursor mid-view, disconnect it from mouse movement (CGAssociateMouseAndMouseCursorPosition(false) — GCMouse still delivers raw HID deltas), and hide it. Released on app deactivation (Cmd+Tab is the escape hatch), view teardown, and disconnect; re-captured when the stream regains focus. The HUD's Disconnect gains ⌘D since a hidden, frozen cursor can't click it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# punktfunk Apple client (SwiftUI)
|
||
|
||
The native macOS/iOS client for **`punktfunk/1`** (the post-GameStream protocol). All
|
||
networking/protocol work — QUIC control plane, UDP data plane, GF(2¹⁶) FEC, AES-GCM,
|
||
input datagrams, Opus audio, cert pinning — lives in the shared Rust core (statically
|
||
linked as `PunktfunkCore.xcframework`); this package is the Swift shell: decode
|
||
(VideoToolbox), present (SwiftUI), input capture.
|
||
|
||
## Status — first light achieved (2026-06-10)
|
||
|
||
Validated live, Mac ↔ Linux box over the LAN: gamescope virtual output → NVENC HEVC →
|
||
`punktfunk/1` (GF(2¹⁶) FEC + AES-GCM over UDP, QUIC control) → VideoToolbox →
|
||
`AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer` on glass at 1280×720@60, with mouse/keyboard flowing back as
|
||
QUIC datagrams into the host's gamescope EIS injector (thousands of events injected during
|
||
the session). Headless variant of the same proof: `RemoteFirstLightTests` decoded 60/60
|
||
received AUs spanning 983 ms of host capture clock.
|
||
|
||
The connector underneath (`punktfunk_core::client::NativeClient` over the C ABI) carries the
|
||
full session: video AUs, **Opus audio** (`nextAudio()`), **rumble** (`nextRumble()`),
|
||
input incl. gamepads, and **cert pinning + TOFU** (`pinSHA256:`/`hostFingerprint`) — see
|
||
`m3.rs::tests::c_abi_connection_roundtrip` (three sequential sessions: TOFU, pinned
|
||
reconnect, wrong-pin rejection). The host (`punktfunk-host m3-host`) is a persistent listener:
|
||
reconnect at will during development.
|
||
|
||
What's here, all compiled and tested on macOS (Xcode 26.5 / Swift 6.3):
|
||
|
||
- **`PunktfunkKit`** (library)
|
||
- `PunktfunkConnection.swift` — wrapper over the C ABI. AUs/audio are copied into `Data`
|
||
(the C pointer is only valid until the next call of the same kind). `close()` is safe
|
||
from any thread: per-plane locks enforce the C contract ("never close with a
|
||
`next_au`/`next_audio` in flight") instead of leaving it to callers. Pinning + TOFU
|
||
via `pinSHA256:`/`hostFingerprint`.
|
||
- `AnnexB.swift` — in-band VPS/SPS/PPS → `CMVideoFormatDescription`; Annex-B → AVCC
|
||
`CMSampleBuffer` with `DisplayImmediately` set.
|
||
- `StreamView.swift` — SwiftUI `NSViewRepresentable` over `AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer`
|
||
(stage-1 presenter: the layer hardware-decodes compressed HEVC itself). One pump
|
||
thread per view, token-cancelled so reconnects can't double-pump.
|
||
- `InputCapture.swift` — `GCMouse` raw deltas + `GCKeyboard` HID→VK mapping (the host's
|
||
`vk_to_evdev` consumes Windows VKs), with fractional-delta accumulation so sub-pixel
|
||
motion isn't truncated away. Buttons use GameStream ids (1=left … 5=X2); scroll is
|
||
WHEEL_DELTA(120)-scaled.
|
||
- **`PunktfunkClient`** (development app shell): connect form → stream + input, fps/Mb-s HUD.
|
||
(Audio playback and gamepad capture are not wired into the app yet — the connector
|
||
surface is there; see notes 5–6.)
|
||
- **Tests** (`swift test`): byte-level Annex-B units; a real-codec round trip
|
||
(VTCompressionSession-encoded HEVC rebuilt as the host's wire shape → `AnnexB` →
|
||
VTDecompressionSession → pixels); loopback integration against a real local host
|
||
(`test-loopback.sh`); the remote first-light test above.
|
||
|
||
## Build / run / test (on a Mac)
|
||
|
||
```sh
|
||
rustup target add aarch64-apple-darwin x86_64-apple-darwin
|
||
bash scripts/build-xcframework.sh # → clients/apple/PunktfunkCore.xcframework
|
||
cd clients/apple
|
||
swift build && swift test # loopback/remote tests self-skip without a host
|
||
swift run PunktfunkClient # the app; or open Package.swift in Xcode
|
||
|
||
bash test-loopback.sh # full loopback proof: builds punktfunk-host
|
||
# (synthetic source — runs on macOS), streams
|
||
# byte-verified frames into the Swift client
|
||
|
||
# against the real host (Linux box, see CLAUDE.md "Running on this box") — m3-host is a
|
||
# persistent listener, reconnect at will:
|
||
# PUNKTFUNK_COMPOSITOR=gamescope PUNKTFUNK_GAMESCOPE_APP=vkcube PUNKTFUNK_ZEROCOPY=1 \
|
||
# cargo run -rp punktfunk-host -- m3-host --source virtual --seconds 60
|
||
PUNKTFUNK_REMOTE_HOST=<box-ip> swift test --filter RemoteFirstLightTests # headless
|
||
PUNKTFUNK_AUTOCONNECT=<box-ip> PUNKTFUNK_MODE=1280x720x60 swift run PunktfunkClient # on glass
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Notes for whoever picks this up next
|
||
|
||
1. **cbindgen import quirk** (the predicted "small compile fixes", now fixed): the
|
||
C17-compatible header spells `PunktfunkStatus`/`PunktfunkInputKind` as integer typedefs while
|
||
the enum *constants* import into Swift as a distinct same-named type — bridge with
|
||
`.rawValue` (see the top of `PunktfunkConnection.swift`). Don't fight the generated header.
|
||
2. **ABI contract**: one video pump thread per connection, plus optionally one *separate*
|
||
audio drain thread for `nextAudio()`/`nextRumble()` (the core keeps per-plane borrow
|
||
slots, so the planes never alias); `send()` is enqueue-only and safe alongside all of
|
||
them. The wrapper's per-plane locks make `close()` safe from anywhere (it waits out
|
||
in-flight polls, ≤ their timeouts).
|
||
3. **Decode flow**: the host opens every stream with an IDR carrying VPS/SPS/PPS in-band
|
||
and recovery keyframes re-send them — "refresh the format description on every IDR"
|
||
(what `StreamView` does) is sufficient; there is no out-of-band extradata, ever.
|
||
4. **Stage 2 (next)**: explicit `VTDecompressionSession` + `CAMetalLayer` for frame-pacing
|
||
control (ProMotion/120 Hz), glass-to-glass measurement via `tools/latency-probe` (the
|
||
host stamps `pts_ns` with its capture wall clock; across machines you need a clock
|
||
offset estimate from the QUIC RTT).
|
||
5. **Audio**: `nextAudio()` yields raw Opus packets (48 kHz stereo, one 5 ms frame each,
|
||
sequence-numbered). Decode with libopus or `AVAudioConverter`/`kAudioFormatOpus` into an
|
||
`AVAudioEngine` source node; conceal gaps (drop/dup) rather than blocking — the Rust
|
||
side buffers 320 ms and drops the newest packet when the puller lags. Wall-clock
|
||
`ptsNs` shares the host clock with video AUs for A/V sync. Wiring this into
|
||
`PunktfunkClient` is the next app-side task.
|
||
6. **Gamepads**: `GCController` → `.gamepadButton(...)`/`.gamepadAxis(...)` events (wire
|
||
contract documented on the constructors; the host accumulates them into a virtual
|
||
Xbox 360 pad). Poll `nextRumble()` and feed `GCDeviceHaptics` for force feedback.
|
||
Client-side capture isn't in `InputCapture` yet.
|
||
7. **Trust**: connect once with `pinSHA256: nil` (TOFU), persist `hostFingerprint` keyed
|
||
by host, pass it on every later connect — a mismatch throws `.connectFailed`. The host
|
||
logs its fingerprint at startup ("clients pin this fingerprint") for out-of-band
|
||
verification UX; a PIN-style pairing ceremony is a later punktfunk-core task. `PunktfunkClient`
|
||
doesn't persist fingerprints yet — add it alongside the "add host" UX.
|
||
8. **Input capture caveats** (stage 1): GC handlers only fire while the app has focus —
|
||
on focus loss `InputCapture` auto-releases everything still held (keys + buttons) so
|
||
nothing sticks down host-side. While the stream has focus the LOCAL cursor is hidden
|
||
and frozen mid-view (`CursorCapture` in StreamView.swift — the host renders its own
|
||
cursor; the local one diverges from it and a stray click would focus another app);
|
||
Cmd+Tab frees it, ⌘D disconnects. Local shortcuts (⌘-anything) still also reach the
|
||
host; a capture toggle is a small follow-up. One live capture per process (the GC
|
||
mouse/keyboard singletons have a single handler slot — ownership is tracked so a stale
|
||
capture's stop() can't clobber a newer one).
|
||
9. **iOS**: same package (`BUILD_IOS=1` for the xcframework slice); `StreamView` needs the
|
||
`UIViewRepresentable` twin and touch→input mapping.
|
||
|
||
## Known limitations of the current host (relevant to client UX)
|
||
|
||
- One session **at a time** (the listener is persistent, but a second concurrent client
|
||
waits in the accept queue until the current session ends — the virtual output and
|
||
encoder are single-tenant).
|
||
- Mid-stream renegotiation (resolution change without reconnect) is designed-for but not
|
||
implemented (the Welcome is one-shot today).
|
||
- Host-side gamepad injection needs `/dev/uinput` access on the box (udev rule from
|
||
`docs/linux-setup.md`).
