A controller that reaches the host by USB passthrough — VirtualHere and friends, or simply a pad plugged into the host — arrived there twice: once as the real device, once as the virtual pad this client built from the same hands. Games read both, so a stick drifts against the centred second pad and menus take every input twice. New per-client setting, "Forward controllers", default on (today's behaviour). It is tier-P, so a profile can decline what another profile forwards. On Linux and Windows it is deliberately stronger than "send nothing". Opening a controller is what CLAIMS it — SDL's HIDAPI drivers take the device node — and a claimed device is one a passthrough tool cannot bind, so with this off the session opens no slot at all and never enables the Valve HIDAPI drivers. Menu navigation is untouched: the launcher still opens the active pad, and a session supersedes menu mode whether it forwards or not, so the pad is free for the whole time a stream is up. The consequence, documented at both the setting and the chord: the controller escape chord is read off forwarded pads, so it is unavailable there. The Apple and Android input stacks claim nothing, so those clients keep their slots and their chords and only gate the wire sends — losing tvOS's only controller way out of a stream would have been the worse bug. Android does stop its DualSense and Steam Controller 2 USB captures, which do claim the device. Surfaces: GTK, WinUI, the console settings screen, Apple's touch and gamepad settings, the Android touch and gamepad settings, and Decky (which also hides the rows that now have nothing to act on). Everywhere the "which pad" and "pad type" rows grey out while it is off. Verified: cargo clippy --all-targets -D warnings + 79 tests on pf-client-core, pf-console-ui, punktfunk-client-session and punktfunk-client-linux (linux/amd64 container, gate proven non-vacuous with a planted error); swift build for the Apple clients; gradle compile + 49 unit tests for Android (likewise proven); tsc for Decky. clients/windows is UNCOMPILED — both Windows boxes were offline; its edits were reviewed against the helper signatures by hand.
