punktfunk-core client/rumble.rs: a per-connection policy engine consumes seq-gated wire
updates and emits EFFECTIVE actuator commands — re-emits on renewals (duration APIs stay
re-armed), self-silences at the v2 lease, a UNIFORM 1 s legacy-host staleness replacing the
per-platform zoo (Apple 1.6 s / Android 60 s / SDL 1.5 s / Deck 1 s), quirk-declared
actuator keepalives (Deck 40 ms + LSB dedupe-defeat jitter), and one stop per buzzing pad
on connection close. Per-pad mailbox semantics: a stalled embedder wakes to ONE current
command, and a stop can structurally never be the update an overflowing queue drops.
New API/ABI: NativeClient::{next_rumble_command,set_rumble_quirks} +
punktfunk_connection_next_rumble_cmd/_set_rumble_quirks (next_rumble/next_rumble2 stay for
un-migrated embedders; both consumers are fed). Migrations DELETE the platform forks:
pf-client-core loses RumbleState + the Deck keepalive loop + LEGACY_RUMBLE_CEILING_MS and
physically silences a slot at close; Android loses the 60 s legacy one-shot (backstop
repack, cancel-on-zero); Apple loses envelopeDeadline + sessionStaleSeconds + both tick
watchdogs (CoreHaptics realization untouched; mac xcframework rebuilt locally).
design/rumble-root-fix.md par. D. Engine 10/10 unit tests; core tests 176 Linux / 175
Windows + clippy -D warnings; swift build + RumbleTuningTests; Kotlin + android-native
compile green.

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.
