enricobuehler a95984bb4f feat(client-linux): feature parity with the Swift client
Everything the macOS app does that stage 1 lacked, before any new
feature work (user directive):

- Input capture is now a deliberate, reversible STATE (Moonlight-
  style): engaged on stream start and click-into-video (the engaging
  click is suppressed), released by Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Q (toggles) or
  focus loss; held keys/buttons are flushed host-side on release;
  cursor hiding + shortcut inhibition follow the state; HUD hint when
  released. Per-session window handlers disconnect with the page.
- Gamepads: app-lifetime SDL service (GamepadManager parity) — pad
  list + "Forwarded controller" pin in Settings (auto = most recent),
  "Automatic" pad TYPE resolves from the physical pad at connect;
  DualSense touchpad contacts + ~250 Hz motion samples on the 0xCC
  plane (Swift GamepadWire scale constants); feedback grows adaptive-
  trigger replay and player LEDs via raw DS5 effects packets (the
  wire's 11-byte blocks drop into SDL_SendGamepadEffect verbatim);
  held pad state zeroed on pad switch/detach. sdl3 "hidapi" feature.
- Microphone uplink: PipeWire capture -> Opus 20 ms -> 0xCB datagrams
  (validated live: host received 711 mic packets), Settings toggle.
- Speed test per saved host (Swift's "Test Network Speed…"): 2 s
  probe burst, goodput/loss + recommended ~70 % bitrate, one-tap apply.
- Settings: host compositor preference (sent in the Hello), native-
  display resolution/refresh resolved from the window's monitor at
  connect (new default), bitrate ceiling to 3 Gbit/s.
- Hosts page: saved/trusted hosts section for direct pinned reconnect
  (mDNS not required), rebuilt on every page return.

Deliberately not ported: audio device pickers (PipeWire routing owns
this on Linux), resize-to-request_mode (not wired in Swift either),
pointer-lock relative mouse (stage-2 presenter, needs raw Wayland).
DualSense fidelity needs a physical pad to live-verify.

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
M1 — punktfunk-core + C ABI done & hardened (FEC, packetization, AES-GCM, session, adversarial-review fixes, punktfunk_core.h)
M2 — GameStream host → stock Moonlight live end-to-end: pairing, RTSP, audio, per-client virtual output at native res, GPU zero-copy NVENC, gamepads
M3 — punktfunk/1 native protocol validated live: QUIC control + GF(2¹⁶) FEC/AES data plane, SPAKE2 PIN pairing, mid-stream mode renegotiation
M4 — client decode + present (Apple) 🟡 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), with a SPAKE2 PIN pairing ceremony. 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/.

Build & test

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.
