Pinning a profile onto a host gives it its own card on the console home, and
pressing A on that card has always connected with the pinned profile as the
one-off the resolver prefers over the host's binding. Y on the same card opens
a library — it is paired and saved, which is the only thing the hint bar asks —
and every title launched off that shelf went out with no profile at all, so the
host's default binding won. Connecting straight from the card honoured the
profile; going through its library did not, which is the shape a user reads as
"the pin works until I pick a game".
The screen was the leak: LibraryScreen copied the row's address, port,
fingerprint and mgmt port, and dropped `pin` — so its launch had nothing to
send and hardcoded `profile: None`, under a comment asserting that game
launches follow the binding. They should follow the card: a launch off a pinned
card's shelf is that card's connect with a title attached.
The screen now carries the row's pin and sends its id as the one-off. It also
says so, in the card's own `host · profile` shape: the shelf's title names the
profile, and so does the connecting card, so which of a host's cards you came
in on is legible from the screen rather than inferred from the tile you pressed
two screens ago. Off the host's primary tile there is no pin and nothing
changes — `None`, and the binding decides.
Console-only. The Apple and Android consoles keep Y off pinned cards outright
(`hasLibrary: profile == nil`), the GTK client clones the card's whole
ConnectRequest — profile included — into its library, and the Windows client
offers "Browse library" from the primary tile only. The console's own
copy-link and wake-then-connect paths already carried the pin.
Both directions are tested, and the pinned one was checked against a reverted
fix: it fails with exactly the reported symptom (left: None, right: "hdr").
