refactor: drop milestone names + consolidate clients; loss-recovery & rumble fixes
Two bodies of work in one commit (the rename moved files the fixes also touched).

Naming/structure cleanup (pre-launch):
- Host modules m3.rs->punktfunk1.rs, m0.rs->spike.rs; CLI m3-host->punktfunk1-host,
  m0->spike; bare `punktfunk-host` now prints help. Types M3Options/M3Source->
  Punktfunk1Options/Punktfunk1Source.
- Clients consolidated out of crates/ into clients/: punktfunk-client-rs->
  clients/probe (crate punktfunk-probe), client-linux->clients/linux,
  client-windows->clients/windows, punktfunk-android->clients/android/native
  (crate punktfunk-client-android; kept [lib] name=punktfunk_android so the JNI
  contract is unchanged). crates/ now holds only core + host.
- Milestone codes M0-M4 purged from code/CLI/CLAUDE.md/README/docs/docs-site,
  kept only in docs/implementation-plan.md. docs/m2-plan.md->
  docs/gamestream-host-plan.md. CI/gradle/flatpak paths updated.

Client loss-recovery (video froze and never recovered after a brief drop):
- Export punktfunk_connection_frames_dropped through the C ABI (the core already
  tracked it for the client keyframe-recovery loop; it was never reachable from
  the ABI clients). Regenerated punktfunk_core.h.
- Apple (StreamPump + Stage2Pipeline) and Android (decode.rs) now poll
  frames_dropped and request a keyframe when it climbs -- the same loss-driven
  recovery Linux/Windows already had. Under infinite GOP the decoder silently
  conceals reference-missing frames, so the decode-error trigger rarely fires.

Apple rumble robustness (worked then went spotty -- DualSense + Xbox):
- Add CHHapticEngine stopped/reset handlers (rebuild on app background / audio
  interruption / server reset) and drop the permanent `broken` latch on a
  transient drive failure; latch only when the controller truly has no haptics.
- Surface swallowed SDL set_rumble errors on Linux/Windows + diagnostic logging.

Verified: cargo build/clippy/fmt --workspace, C-ABI harness, header drift.
Not runnable on this box (verify in CI): Gitea workflows, gradle/Android,
flatpak, Swift/decky.

title: Configuration
description: The host.env settings — compositor, resolution, bitrate, input — and how to tune them.
---
The host reads its settings from **`~/.config/punktfunk/host.env`** (a simple `KEY=value` file). Your
[setup guide](/docs/requirements) gives you a starting `host.env` for your desktop; this page is the
reference.
## Session settings
These tell the host which desktop session to attach to. Your setup guide sets them for you.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| `WAYLAND_DISPLAY` | The Wayland socket of your session (`wayland-0` for a normal desktop). |
| `XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP` | Your desktop (`GNOME`, `KDE`). |
| `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`, `DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS` | Needed when the host runs outside your interactive session (e.g. as a service). |
## Core settings
| Setting | Values | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `PUNKTFUNK_COMPOSITOR` | `mutter` · `kwin` · `gamescope` · `wlroots` | Which backend creates the virtual display. Match your desktop. |
| `PUNKTFUNK_VIDEO_SOURCE` | `virtual` · `portal` | `virtual` creates a per-client display at its exact mode (the normal choice). `portal` captures an existing monitor instead. |
| `PUNKTFUNK_ZEROCOPY` | `1` · `0` | GPU zero-copy capture→encode. Leave on; it falls back to a CPU path automatically. |
| `PUNKTFUNK_INPUT_BACKEND` | `libei` · `gamescope` · `wlr` · `uinput` | How input is injected. `libei` for GNOME/KDE, `gamescope` for Bazzite. |
## Resolution and refresh rate
You don't set these on the host — **the client chooses them**. When a device connects, the host
creates a virtual display at that device's resolution and refresh rate. A 1080p60 laptop and a
1440p120 desktop each get their own. (With Moonlight, set the mode in Moonlight's settings; with the
Apple app, it uses the device's display.)
## Bitrate
The client requests a bitrate; the host encodes to it. To find a good value for your link:
- **Apple app:** use the built-in **speed test** (a host card's menu → *Test Network Speed*). It
measures your link and suggests a bitrate, then applies it.
- **Moonlight:** set the bitrate in Moonlight's settings. Start moderate and raise it.
## Multiple devices at once
Today the native `punktfunk/1` host (`serve --native`) streams **one session at a time** — additional
clients wait in the accept queue until the active session ends. Each session gets its own virtual
display at the client's exact resolution; concurrent native sessions are on the roadmap.
(`punktfunk1-host`, the standalone test host, has a `--max-concurrent N` knob, default 4, bounded by your
GPU's encoder — see the [Host CLI](/docs/host-cli) reference — but `serve --native` does **not** take
that flag.)
## Codec and FEC
- The host encodes **HEVC (H.265)** by default; **AV1** is available for clients that support it.
- The native protocol adds forward error correction for lossy links. `PUNKTFUNK_FEC_PCT=N` sets the
redundancy percentage (the default is sensible for a normal LAN).
## Diagnostics
- `PUNKTFUNK_PERF=1` logs per-stage timing (capture, encode, send) — handy when tuning latency.
- `RUST_LOG=info` (or `debug`) controls log verbosity.
