Rumble was level-triggered, unbounded state on a lossy channel: a non-zero level meant "buzz until further notice", healed only by the host re-sending state every 500 ms, and every client guessed when the host had died with its own magic timeout (SDL 1.5 s, Apple 1.6 s, Android up to 60 s). A lost stop, a reordered start, or a dead host could drone the motor for seconds. Make "stuck rumble" inexpressible on the wire. The 0xCA datagram grows a length-tolerant tail — [u8 seq][u16 ttl_ms] — so it self-terminates: the host authorizes a level for at most ttl_ms and renews it (~120 ms) while it holds, letting an abandoned one lapse client-side. seq is a per-pad wrapping reorder gate (reusing GamepadSnapshot::seq_newer) so a reordered stale start can't re-light a stopped motor. Decoders read the first 7 bytes as a plain level and ignore the tail, so no wire-version bump: an old client renders a new host's levels, and a new client falls back to its prior staleness heuristic against an old host (ttl = None). All four generation pairings render correctly. - core: encode_rumble_datagram_v2 / decode_rumble_envelope (datagram.rs); the client demux applies the seq gate then forwards (pad, low, high, Option<ttl>); next_rumble is unchanged (drops ttl), next_rumble_ttl keeps it; ABI adds punktfunk_connection_next_rumble2 + PUNKTFUNK_RUMBLE_NO_TTL, ABI_VERSION 4->5 (WIRE_VERSION unchanged — the tail is backward-compatible). - host (punktfunk1.rs): the flat 500 ms refresh becomes a renewal loop that bumps seq + stamps a fresh TTL on active pads and drains a short post-stop zero burst, then goes quiet. Hatches: PUNKTFUNK_RUMBLE_ENVELOPE=0 (legacy v1 + flat refresh, a bisect switch), PUNKTFUNK_RUMBLE_TTL_MS (clamped [150, 5000]). - renderers honor the TTL as their playback duration/deadline and keep their old heuristic only for a legacy (ttl=None) update: pf-client-core (the Deck haptic keep-alive is now deadline-bounded so it can't sustain a host-stopped rumble), clients/windows (SDL duration), android (JNI packs the lease out-of-band in bit 48 so any u16 ttl is unambiguous; Kotlin createOneShot(ttl)), apple (RumbleRenderer.envelopeDeadline + nextRumble2; sessionStaleSeconds demoted to the legacy fallback). - tests: codec round-trip + tail tolerance + seq-gate reorder (Rust); the probe asserts the v2 tail arrived under PUNKTFUNK_TEST_FEEDBACK; the Apple loopback asserts ttlMs round-trips end to end; RumbleTuning lease-decision cases. The host-side idle-timeout from the previous commit is defense in depth on the game side; this is the guarantee on the client side. Design: punktfunk-planning/design/rumble-envelope-plan.md.

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
AMediaCodecHEVC →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".

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.

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 17–21, 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.
