enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 2ce0bea830 feat(client): desktop phase-locked capture, a real display volume on Windows, and the console's missing rows
The cross-platform half of the gap sweep:

* Phase-locked capture reaches the DESKTOP clients (it shipped on
  Apple/Android only, though the desktop presenter has the best latch
  signal of all — true on-glass stamps via VK_KHR_present_wait). The
  presenter's 1 Hz fold publishes a latch grid (anchor = last on-glass
  instant; period = min positive present spacing, capped by the display
  mode's refresh so an arrival-paced sub-panel-rate stream can't claim a
  slower grid); the session pump folds every AU's arrival stamp against
  it with the SHARED `phase::circular_latch` statistic and sends the
  ~1 Hz PhaseReport (1 ms uncertainty — reference-client parity). The
  cap is advertised only when present timing is real
  (`VulkanDecodeDevice::present_timing` gates `SessionParams::phase_lock`),
  and the host's applied grid offset from the 0xCF tail is logged so an
  on-glass run can watch the controller engage.
* `Hello::display_hdr` stops being hardcoded `None`: Windows reads the
  panel's colour volume from DXGI (`IDXGIOutput6::GetDesc1`, the
  `--window-pos` output else the primary, advanced-color outputs only,
  gated on the HDR setting) so the host's virtual-display EDID matches
  the real glass. Linux keeps the EDID defaults — no portable
  Wayland/X11 query exists — and the comment now says exactly that.
* The console settings screen (the ONLY editor in Gaming Mode) learns
  the rows it was missing: render scale, full chroma 4:4:4, invert
  scroll, capture system shortcuts, fullscreen-on-stream, auto-wake and
  the game-library toggle.
* A spec-run session's device picks (GPU adapter, speaker, microphone)
  now come from the `--resolved-spec` instead of a raw Settings load —
  the last store read the spec path still owed (§5), and what would
  make those fields profileable.
* `session_args()` documents why the GTK/CLI spawners pass no
  `--window-pos` (Wayland exposes no global coordinates to read and SDL
  can't apply them).

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: Vulkan Video → VAAPI → software on Linux, Vulkan Video → D3D11VA → software on Windows): FFmpeg's Vulkan Video 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 all three paths, 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.

Debug/bisect knobs: PUNKTFUNK_DECODER=vulkan|vaapi|d3d11va|software, PUNKTFUNK_PRESENT_MODE= mailbox|immediate (default FIFO), 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).
