enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 9b2404a580 feat(core): every connect introduces the device by name
The wire always had Hello.name and the host always honored it - but the
connect path hardcoded None (only the PIN-pairing ceremony sent a name),
so every no-PIN "request access" knock surfaced as the fingerprint
placeholder "device abcd1234", and approving one without retyping a
name persisted that placeholder into the trust store forever.

NativeClient::connect now takes the device name. The session workers
and the probe connects pass trust::device_name() (the hostname), the C
ABI defaults to the same without a signature change (an ex10 variant
can make it explicit if an embedder wants a custom label), and Android
threads Build.MODEL through nativeConnect - the same convention its
pairing dialogs already use for nativePair.

The host, in turn, resolves the streaming client's display name (trust
store first, so an approval-time rename wins; else the sanitized Hello
name) and exposes it as client_name in GET /api/v1/local/summary for
the tray's connect toast - a deliberate, documented loosening of that
route's "no device names" contract, in the local user's favor: it tells
them who is on their machine. A paired-but-idle device's name still
never appears, which the mgmt tests now pin explicitly. openapi.json,
its docs-site copy, and the SDK bindings regenerate.

punktfunk-session

The Vulkan session binary: one stream per invocation in an SDL3 window — no UI toolkit, no widgets, terminal stats. The power-user / gamescope stream client, and the stage-2 presenter of the Linux client re-architecture (punktfunk-planning: linux-client-rearchitecture.md).

punktfunk-session --connect host[:port] [--fp HEX] [--launch id] [--fullscreen] [--stats]
punktfunk-session --browse host[:port] [--mgmt PORT] [--fullscreen]
punktfunk-session --pair <PIN> --connect host[:port] [--name LABEL]

--browse opens the console game library (the Skia coverflow over the animated aurora) instead of connecting: A launches the focused title as a stream in the same window, session end returns to the library, B quits (Gaming Mode returns). Paired hosts only — pairing is the desktop client / Decky plugin's job. PUNKTFUNK_FAKE_LIBRARY=<file.json> feeds canned entries with no host (portrait paths starting with / load from disk).

Reads the same identity / known-hosts / settings stores as the desktop client (punktfunk-client), so enrolling on either side makes the other work; this binary never connects to a host it has no pinned fingerprint for (--fp HEX overrides the store).

--pair <PIN> --connect host[:port] runs the SPAKE2 ceremony with no window and no toolkit, prints paired <addr>:<port> fp=<hex>, and exits — the route for a machine that has only SSH (an embedded/kiosk client, an image being provisioned). --name sets the label the host files this client under, defaulting to the hostname. It is in the --no-default-features build too: enrolling must never be the reason a minimal image has to pull in Skia.

Stdout is the machine interface: {"ready":true} after the first presented frame, stats: … once per second while the overlay tier isn't Off (always the full detailed text, whatever the OSD shows; --stats forces the overlay on), one {"error"|"ended": …} JSON line on the way out. Logs go to stderr. Exit codes: 0 clean end, 2 connect failed, 3 trust rejected / pairing required, 4 presenter init failed.

In-stream keys match the desktop client: click captures input (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Q releases), Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D disconnects, F11 toggles fullscreen; the controller escape chord (L1+R1+Start+Select, hold to disconnect) works the same.

The default build carries the Skia console UI (ui feature): the stats OSD and capture hint render in-window. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S cycles the OSD tier live — Off → Compact (one line: fps · latency · Mb/s) → Normal (mode + end-to-end percentiles) → Detailed (decoder path + per-stage latency equation); any tier but Off also emits the stdout mirror. --no-default-features is the ~5 MB power-user build — same streaming, stats on stdout only, no Skia anywhere in the dependency tree.

Decode follows the Settings preference (auto: Vulkan Video → VAAPI → software on Linux, Vulkan Video → D3D11VA → software on Windows): FFmpeg's Vulkan Video decoder runs on the presenter's own device where the stack supports it (every vendor, zero copy); VAAPI dmabufs import per-plane elsewhere (D3D11VA textures on Windows); software is the universal fallback. 10-bit Main10 and HDR10 are advertised (VIDEO_CAP_10BIT|HDR): P010 decodes through all three paths, and PQ streams present on an HDR10/ST.2084 swapchain when the desktop offers one (KDE HDR, gamescope) or tone-map in-shader to SDR when it doesn't (PUNKTFUNK_TONEMAP_PEAK tunes the rolloff, default ≈1000 nits). The host still gates the upgrade behind its PUNKTFUNK_10BIT policy.

Debug/bisect knobs: PUNKTFUNK_DECODER=vulkan|vaapi|d3d11va|software, PUNKTFUNK_PRESENT_MODE= mailbox|immediate (default FIFO), PUNKTFUNK_VK_DEVICE=<index> (multi-GPU), and PUNKTFUNK_HW_FAULT=import (fault every VAAPI dmabuf import — proves the three-strike demotion to software on healthy hardware).
