enricobuehler 2bfd1cd2d5 chore(safety): three unsafe-hygiene grep gates, blocking in ci.yml (WP2c gates)
scripts/ci/check-unsafe-hygiene.sh — textual gates for three classes no lint
covers:

A. unsafe fn markers carrying no contract. unsafe_op_in_unsafe_fn forces real
   ops into blocks, so an unsafe fn with no `unsafe` in its body is a marker
   with no contract (db659809 found two by hand). Contract-deferring fns
   (Vec::set_len shape) waive with `// unsafe-fn-no-op-ok: <reason>`; fenced
   files and `unsafe extern "ABI" fn` (signature-mandated markers) are
   skipped structurally.

B. unwrap/expect/panic! inside extern "C"/"system" bodies — an abort since
   Rust 1.81, not linted, not fuzzable (8b98d0b3). catch_unwind bodies are
   exempt; `// panic-in-extern-ok: <reason>` waives a deliberate abort.

C. Safe-but-process-global APIs (env::set_var/remove_var, sigaction,
   setlocale, set_current_dir) — the 972af299 environ race lived in a file
   with zero occurrences of the word `unsafe`. Per-file count ratchet with
   the baseline in the script; any increase or new file fails.

Making gate B clean on main surfaced 14 real instances of exactly its class —
`.lock().unwrap()` in unguarded extern fns, where a poisoned mutex aborts the
embedding process: six punktfunk-core abi.rs entry points (poll_frame,
next_au, next_audio, next_audio_pcm, next_cursor_shape, next_clipboard),
seven Android JNI entry points, and the Windows client's deeplink wnd_proc.
All fixed with poison-recovering locks (the slots are last-value caches,
valid whatever a poisoned writer left) and Option::insert for the
set-then-unwrap shape; punktfunk-core's 203 lib tests pass. Gate A's
findings were six genuine contract-deferring fns — waived with reasons, not
fixed, because the markers are correct.

Gate-of-the-gate: all three shown to FAIL on deliberately planted instances
(marker fn, panicking extern callback, env::set_var in an unlisted file) and
to run clean on the tree, before the ci.yml step made them blocking.

Packaging punktfunk for Fedora / Bazzite

The punktfunk host links system FFmpeg (NVENC on NVIDIA, VAAPI on AMD/Intel, with a GPU-less software-H.264 fallback), PipeWire and Opus. This page covers packaging it for the Fedora Atomic / Bazzite world (rpm-ostree + bootc), where most of those deps are already present; the NVIDIA-specific notes below apply to the NVENC path.

👉 Ubuntu/Debian hosts install via apt from Gitea's package registry — see debian/README.md (apt update && apt upgrade for new builds).

👉 End-to-end Bazzite setup walkthrough (install → udev/group → host.env → service → firewall → verify → troubleshooting): bazzite/README.md. This file is the higher-level packaging rationale.

packaging/
  rpm/punktfunk.spec      # the RPM (builds punktfunk-host from source with cargo)
  bazzite/host.env        # gamescope-default config for a Bazzite appliance
  bazzite/README.md       # step-by-step Bazzite setup guide
  bazzite/*sysext*.sh     # the no-layering path: build/install/publish the systemd-sysext
  bootc/Containerfile     # bake punktfunk into a Bazzite-based atomic image
  copr/                   # COPR build-from-SCM settings

The other packaging targets have their own READMEs: debian/ (apt), arch/ (pacman binary repo + PKGBUILD + SteamOS sysext), flatpak/ (the client), windows/ (host installer + drivers), plus kde/ and linux/ helpers. NixOS / Nix users get a flake (flake.nix at the repo root) with reproducible punktfunk-host, -client, -web, -scripting and -gamescope packages plus a services.punktfunk NixOS module — see nix/README.md.

What's needed beyond base Fedora

Dependency Where it comes from
ffmpeg-libs with NVENC RPM Fusion nonfree (ffmpeg, not ffmpeg-free)
NVIDIA driver (libnvidia-encode, libEGL_nvidia) Bazzite -nvidia images ship it; plain Fedora: akmod-nvidia + xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-cuda
gamescope, PipeWire, wireplumber Bazzite ships these; plain Fedora: dnf install gamescope pipewire wireplumber
opus, libei Fedora base / updates

On Bazzite the only genuinely new runtime bits are ffmpeg-libs (RPM Fusion) + opus + libei — the rest of the stack is already there. The default backend is gamescope (packaging/bazzite/host.env), which the host spawns headless per session — no desktop login.

On Bazzite / Fedora Atomic the recommended install is the systemd-sysext image — rpm-ostree layering is a last resort per the Bazzite docs (it slows every OS update and can block upgrades), while a sysext overlays /usr at runtime, survives OS updates, and updates in one command with no reboot. CI wraps the same RPMs below into the image, so content and channels are identical.

curl -fsSLO https://git.unom.io/unom/punktfunk/raw/branch/main/packaging/bazzite/punktfunk-sysext.sh
sudo bash punktfunk-sysext.sh install     # then: sudo punktfunk-sysext update | status | remove

Full walkthrough (incl. the F43→F44 rebase behavior and migration off layering): bazzite/README.md.

Option B — Gitea RPM registry (per-host, rpm-ostree layering)

The host's RPM is published to unom's self-hosted Gitea RPM registry (CI builds it on every push), mirroring the Debian/apt setup. Add one repo file, install, and track updates with rpm-ostree upgrade — no COPR account needed. Full guide: rpm/README.md.

# GPG-signed pkgs + Gitea-signed metadata → gpgcheck=1, repo_gpgcheck=1 (see rpm/README.md)
sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/punktfunk.repo >/dev/null <<'REPO'
[gitea-unom-bazzite]
name=punktfunk (unom, Bazzite)
baseurl=https://git.unom.io/api/packages/unom/rpm/bazzite

REPO
rpm-ostree install punktfunk && systemctl reboot
# updates:  rpm-ostree upgrade && systemctl reboot

Option C — COPR (per-host, rpm-ostree install)

  1. Create a COPR project, enable build-from-SCM pointing at this repo, spec path packaging/rpm/punktfunk.spec (see copr/README.md). Under External Repositories add RPM Fusion nonfree so ffmpeg-devel resolves at build time.
  2. On the Bazzite host:
    # RPM Fusion (for the NVENC ffmpeg) — usually already enabled on Bazzite
    rpm-ostree install \
      https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm \
      https://mirrors.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm
    # enable the COPR + install punktfunk
    sudo wget -O /etc/yum.repos.d/_copr_punktfunk.repo \
      https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/enricobuehler/punktfunk/repo/fedora-$(rpm -E %fedora)/
    rpm-ostree install punktfunk
    systemctl reboot
    

Option D — bootc (image-based, atomic)

Layer punktfunk into a Bazzite image once, then rebase any number of hosts onto it — no per-host drift. See bootc/Containerfile:

podman build -t ghcr.io/<you>/bazzite-punktfunk -f packaging/bootc/Containerfile .
podman push  ghcr.io/<you>/bazzite-punktfunk
# on the target:
sudo bootc switch ghcr.io/<you>/bazzite-punktfunk && systemctl reboot

First-run setup (all options)

ujust add-user-to-input-group           # virtual gamepads need /dev/uinput (then re-login).
                                        # On Bazzite use ujust, NOT `usermod -aG input` (atomic OS — it won't stick).
mkdir -p ~/.config/punktfunk
cp /usr/share/punktfunk/host.env.bazzite ~/.config/punktfunk/host.env   # edit (gamescope app, etc.)
systemctl --user enable --now punktfunk-host

# Management web console (pairing + status) — pulled in by default (the host RPM Recommends it;
# `--no-install-recommends` / headless-only boxes can skip it). Enable it and read the login password:
systemctl --user enable --now punktfunk-web
journalctl --user -u punktfunk-web-init | sed -n 's/.*password generated: //p'   # then open https://<host-ip>:47992

Pair a stock Moonlight client (mDNS-discovered), or connect the native punktfunk/1 client — via the web console at https://<host-ip>:47992 or directly.

⚠️ COPR caveat: COPR's mock chroot has no bun, so a COPR build produces only punktfunk + punktfunk-clientnot punktfunk-web. For the console on a COPR/bootc host, install from the Gitea RPM registry (Option B — it carries punktfunk-web; the sysext image includes it too), which is also why bootc/Containerfile installs from there rather than COPR.

Why not Flatpak (for the HOST)?

The host needs unsandboxed access the zero-copy NVENC path, /dev/uinput, the PipeWire graph and the compositor's privileged protocols — a Flatpak sandbox fights all of these. An RPM (or the bootc layer) installs into the host system where those just work.

👉 The client is a different story — it IS shipped as a Flatpak (the only viable Steam Deck install path: SteamOS /usr is read-only and lacks libadwaita/libSDL3). See flatpak/README.md. The client sandbox only needs the GPU render node, Wayland, PipeWire audio, the network and hidraw — all expressible as finish-args.

Building the SRPM/RPM locally (Fedora only)

git archive --format=tar.gz --prefix=punktfunk-0.3.0/ -o ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/punktfunk-0.3.0.tar.gz HEAD
rpmbuild -ba packaging/rpm/punktfunk.spec     # needs the BuildRequires from the spec
# (0.3.0 = the spec's default %{pf_version}; the prefix and tarball name must match it)

(Not buildable on Debian/Ubuntu — use a Fedora toolbox/container or COPR.)
