The portable shared-clipboard plane in punktfunk-core, all behind the `quic`
feature (design/clipboard-and-file-transfer.md §3):
- Control messages 0x40–0x44 (ClipControl / ClipOffer / ClipFetch...) and the
HOST_CAP_CLIPBOARD capability bit, negotiated in the Welcome caps.
- Per-transfer QUIC bi-streams ("PKFs" magic) for lazy fetch of offered content,
with ClipFetchHdr status/size framing (quic::clipstream).
- The §3.5 portable wire-MIME vocabulary (text/plain;utf-8, text/html, text/rtf,
image/png) shared by both ends.
- Client-side clipboard task (client.rs) + C ABI surface bumped to v8 (abi.rs,
regenerated include/punktfunk_core.h).
- Loopback transport tests (quic::tests).
No OS clipboard integration yet — that is the host backends (Phase 1/3) and the
macOS client (Phase 1).
Ported from feat/shared-clipboard (af3a7d8c, pre-W6 base) onto current main;
three deliberate deviations from the original commit:
- ABI v6 → v8: main took v6 (reanchor gate) and v7 (typed connect rejection)
in the meantime; the clipboard C surface re-lands as v8.
- CLIP_CANCELLED_CODE 0x60 → 0x70: main's pairing-rejection close codes claimed
the 0x60–0x67 block; the vocabularies stay disjoint on purpose.
- Negotiated.host_caps coexists with main's 6-tuple host_caps plumbing: main
needs the worker-local copy for gamepad snapshots, the clipboard path needs it
across ready_tx to build the NativeClient handle (punktfunk_connection_host_caps).

punktfunk-core
The shared protocol core — the one place where punktfunk's transport, forward error correction, and crypto live. It's linked into the host and every native client, so there's exactly one implementation of the wire format everywhere.
Written in Rust with no async on the per-frame path (native threads only). It exposes both a normal Rust API and a stable, versioned C ABI, so the Swift and Kotlin clients — and any C embedder — link the same code as the Rust ones.
What's in here
- Transport & session (
session.rs,transport/,packet.rs) — thepunktfunk/1data plane over raw UDP: packetization, reassembly (with attacker-bounded limits), pacing, and socket tuning. - FEC (
fec/) — the wall-breaker. Two codes:- GF(2⁸) classic Reed–Solomon with the Cauchy generator matrix — byte-identical to the
nanorslibrary Moonlight uses, so our parity is decodable by a stock Moonlight client. - GF(2¹⁶) Leopard-RS (SIMD, O(n log n)) — up to 65535 shards/block, which removes the ~1 Gbps
FEC ceiling.
punktfunk/1negotiates this one.
- GF(2⁸) classic Reed–Solomon with the Cauchy generator matrix — byte-identical to the
- Crypto (
crypto.rs) — AES-128-GCM session encryption with per-direction nonce salts and sequence-as-AAD; SPAKE2 PIN pairing lives behind thequicfeature. - QUIC control plane (
quic.rs,client.rs, featurequic) — the Hello/Welcome/Start handshake, cert pinning/TOFU, reverse audio, and the embeddableNativeClientconnector. This is the only placetokio/quinnare allowed; the feature is off by default so the core stays runtime-free. - C ABI (
abi.rs) — the versioned surface (punktfunk_abi_version(),PunktfunkConfigcarrying its ownstruct_size) that generatesinclude/punktfunk_core.hvia cbindgen at build time.
Build outputs
The crate builds three ways at once (crate-type = ["lib", "cdylib", "staticlib"]):
| Output | Used by |
|---|---|
lib (rlib) |
the host, probe, and tools link it as a normal Rust crate |
cdylib (.so/.dylib) |
the Swift / Kotlin clients via the C ABI |
staticlib (.a) |
the C test harness and static embedding |
Test
cargo test -p punktfunk-core # unit + proptest + loopback
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
Design invariants (do not regress)
- One core, linked everywhere — protocol/FEC/crypto live only here, behind the stable C ABI.
- No async on the hot path — the per-frame pipeline is native threads only;
quic(tokio/quinn) is control-plane only, feature-gated, off by default. - Security hardening stays intact — the reassembler bounds attacker-controlled fields before
allocating; AES-GCM keeps per-direction nonce salts + seq-as-AAD; the ABI checks
struct_size. Regression tests exist — keep them green.
