enricobuehler b0ec759fad fix(brand): capitalize "Punktfunk" in user-facing text
The docs site's page title read "punktfunk docs". Fixed that and swept the
rest of the tree for the same defect, capitalizing the brand wherever it is
shown to a human and leaving it lowercase where it is a technical identifier
(CLI/package names, `punktfunk://` scheme, PnP enumerator, TLS SNI, logcat
tag, config paths, CMS tenant id).

User-visible fixes:

- docs-site: page title -> "Punktfunk Docs"; API reference title, meta
  description and the branded bar's aria-label; the BrandMark/Wordmark SVG
  accessible names (the web console already had these capitalized -- the
  docs site had drifted from it).
- Android: six strings of live UI copy -- the local-network permission
  dialog (x2), the connect-screen error banner, and the no-controller
  explainer.
- Apple: the "No Hosts" empty-state text and the fallback display name for
  a host that advertises no instance name.
- Windows client: the `--discover` progress line.
- KWin fake-input: the application name passed to `authenticate()` (the
  grant is cached per-exe, so the string is display-only).
- THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES: fixed in both generators (about.hbs and
  gen-third-party-notices.py) and applied to the three checked-in outputs
  so they match what a regeneration now produces.

Every changed line differs from the original only by letter case, so line
lengths are unchanged and no formatter width rule is affected.
`cargo fmt --all --check` passes.

punktfunk — Android client (phone & TV)

The native Android app for streaming a punktfunk host to your phone, tablet, or Android TV. A Compose app that finds hosts on your network, pairs with a PIN, and streams at the display's own resolution — with hardware HEVC decode, HDR10, and controller support, built for both touch and the couch (D-pad / gamepad focus navigation).

Features

  • Hardware decode — NDK AMediaCodec HEVC → SurfaceView, including HDR10 (Main10 / BT.2020 PQ), with low-latency tuning and a live stats HUD.
  • Audio both ways — Opus + AAudio playback with a jitter ring, plus mic uplink to the host.
  • Controller support — buttons + axes with rumble and HID feedback (lightbar / adaptive triggers); D-pad / gamepad focus navigation for TV and phone.
  • Find hosts automatically — native mDNS discovery; first connect does a one-time SPAKE2 PIN pairing (or TOFU on trusted LANs), then reconnects on a Keystore-wrapped, pinned identity.
  • Compose UI — Connect / Settings / Stream screens with Material You theming.

Built for arm64-v8a + armeabi-v7a + x86_64 — the 32-bit armeabi-v7a slice is what keeps the app installable on the many 32-bit Google TV / Android TV streamers (Walmart onn. 4K, Chromecast with Google TV, budget Amlogic boxes) that otherwise reject a 64-bit-only build as "not compatible".

Published to Google Play (Internal Testing) — join the beta via the Discord. Per-device setup and pairing: docs.punktfunk.unom.io/docs/install-client.

How it's built — Rust-heavy

Kotlin can't import the cbindgen C header the way Swift can, so a native bridge is unavoidable. We write it in Rust and link punktfunk-core directly — so the Android client reuses the Linux client's orchestration (audio jitter ring, VK keymap inverse, latency/skew math, capture state machine, trust logic) instead of re-porting it into Kotlin.

Side Owns
Rust (native/libpunktfunk_android.so) the JNI seam, NativeClient (QUIC control + UDP data plane), AnnexB → AMediaCodec decode (incl. HDR10), Opus + AAudio audio + mic, controller feedback, latency math, trust/pairing, mdns-sd discovery
Kotlin (app/, kit/) Compose UI, SurfaceView lifecycle, input capture, the Wi-Fi MulticastLock + permission UX, Keystore identity

The single seam is io.unom.punktfunk.kit.NativeBridgeJava_io_unom_punktfunk_kit_NativeBridge_*.

Build & run

Prerequisites: Android SDK + NDK r30 (30.0.14904198), platforms;android-37.0, build-tools;37.0.0, cmake;3.22.1 (builds libopus); JDK 21 (AGP 9.2 runs on JDK 1721, not a newer default); Rust with rustup target add aarch64-linux-android armv7-linux-androideabi x86_64-linux-android and cargo install cargo-ndk. Toolchain is pinned (AGP 9.2 · Gradle 9.4.1 · Kotlin 2.3.21 · Compose BOM 2026.05.01 · compileSdk 37 · minSdk 28).

Android Studio: open clients/android — it uses its bundled JBR 21, and the cargoNdk* task builds the .so as part of the normal build.

CLI (point Gradle at JDK 21 if your machine default is newer):

export JAVA_HOME="$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 21)"   # or your Temurin 21 path
cd clients/android
./gradlew :app:assembleDebug     # cargo-ndk cross-compiles libpunktfunk_android.so first
./gradlew :app:installDebug      # onto a running emulator/device
# emulators from env setup:  emulator -avd pf_phone   |   emulator -avd pf_tv

The debug APK lands in app/build/outputs/apk/debug/. Launch it, pick a host, pair, and stream.
