refactor: drop milestone names + consolidate clients; loss-recovery & rumble fixes
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.

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
Core — punktfunk-core + C ABI done & hardened (FEC, packetization, AES-GCM, session, adversarial-review fixes, punktfunk_core.h)
GameStream host → stock Moonlight live end-to-end: pairing, RTSP, audio, per-client virtual output at native res, GPU zero-copy NVENC, gamepads
Native protocol — punktfunk/1 validated live: QUIC control + GF(2¹⁶) FEC/AES data plane, SPAKE2 PIN pairing, mid-stream mode renegotiation
Native clients — decode + present 🟡 macOS first light: AnnexB→VideoToolbox HEVC on glass + input/pairing over punktfunk/1 (clients/apple); iOS + presenter next
Web console + management API TanStack web console (web/) over the OpenAPI mgmt API: host status, paired devices, on-demand native pairing (arm → show PIN)

The GameStream host works with a stock Moonlight client — validated live on NVIDIA (RTX 5070 Ti & RTX 4090, driver 595): trust-on-first-use pairing that persists, an app catalog, RTSP/ENet/audio, and video at the client's exact resolution and refresh via a per-session virtual output (KWin, gamescope, Mutter, Sway backends), encoded with GPU zero-copy (dmabuf → CUDA/Vulkan → NVENC) at up to 5120×1440@240. The native punktfunk/1 protocol adds a QUIC control plane and a GF(2¹⁶) Leopard-FEC + AES-GCM data plane (p50 ~0.8 ms capture→reassembled at 720p120). Its trust model is SPAKE2 PIN pairing by default — a new host requires the PIN ceremony; trust-on-first-use is an explicit host opt-in (punktfunk1-host --allow-tofu / serve --open, advertised as pair=optional) for fully trusted LANs. Both run from one process (serve --native), managed through a REST API + web console. Builds against FFmpeg 7 or 8; deployed live on Bazzite. Full status: CLAUDE.md; roadmap, setup guides & progress: the docs site (docs-site/ — Fumadocs; bun run dev), with the canonical roadmap and status there. Design notes stay in docs/.

Install (host)

The package registries are the real distribution channel — pick your distro and run one command. Per-distro setup (add the repo, first-run, web console) lives in the linked READMEs.

Distro One-command happy path Details
Ubuntu / Debian (apt) sudo apt install punktfunk-host (after adding the repo) packaging/debian/README.md
Fedora / Bazzite (rpm-ostree) rpm-ostree install punktfunk punktfunk-web (after adding the repo; or the bootc image) packaging/rpm/README.md
Arch / Steam Deck (PKGBUILD / sysext) makepkg -si (Arch) · sysext .raw (SteamOS/Deck) packaging/arch/README.md

punktfunk-host is the streaming host; punktfunk-web is the browser console (pairing + status); punktfunk-client is the GTK4 desktop client (also shipped via apt/RPM/Arch/Flatpak). After install, run punktfunk-host serve --native inside your desktop session, then pair from the web console.

Building from source (below) is a fallback.

Build & test (from source)

For development, or as an install fallback where no package is available:

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-core exactly once, exposed over a stable, versioned C ABI (punktfunk_abi_version(), PunktfunkConfig carries its own struct_size).
  • No async on the hot path. The per-frame pipeline uses native threads only; tokio/quinn are gated behind the off-by-default quic feature (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.
