- src/home_platform.h: what Frame Home and the panel need from the system (paths, finding and stopping each
other, running a tool, restarting, priorities) for SteamOS, Windows and Linux PCs. On a PC the environments are
Frame Studio's My Environments; Frame Home's own files in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Frame Home (Windows).
- src/openvr_loader.cpp: a PC build finds SteamVR's own OpenVR library at run time (openvrpaths.vrpath), so it runs
on any PC with SteamVR; Vulkan through volk. CMake: FRAME_HOME_PC (default on Windows and x86-64 Linux); the Steam
Frame build is unchanged.
- Windows: Frame Home is SteamVR's home app; SteamVR's classic environment shows a 360-degree picture of the current
home from its spawn (frame-home --panorama --spawn, made by the panel when the home changes) instead of Aurora
while Frame Home starts. Linux PCs: the Steam Frame's compositor layer, as on the headset.
- frame/pc: install-frame-home-pc.ps1 (+ .bat): online through SteamVR's API or offline in its config files; the
SteamVR settings it changes are saved and restored exactly on -Uninstall (tested in a sandbox both ways).
frame-switcher --uninstall. Studio: Properties > Headset > This PC installs it from pc/ beside Studio.
- Packaging and CI: pc/ in the Windows x64 and Linux x64 Studio downloads; FrameHome-PC-windows-x64.zip.
- Thumbnails come from where Frame Home starts you (the first spawn, eyes 1.6 m up): Studio's saves and the
panel's (frame-home --snapshot --spawn).

- ImGui's docking branch (1.91.5): the 3D Viewport, Outliner, Properties and Timeline are areas on a gutter, each
with a header. Drag an area by its header's editor button to dock it elsewhere (as a tab, or splitting an area);
click it to show another editor there. Layouts are kept between runs; Window > Reset Layout restores them.
- Workspaces in the top bar: Layout, Walking, Headset. Ctrl+Space maximizes the 3D Viewport.
- 3D Viewport header: Arrange / Draw Floor, View, Select, Add, Object menus, Global / Local, the world layer and
shading (Material, Solid, Wireframe; GPU Cost, Overdraw, Leave Out in its menu). In the view: the toolbar (T), a
chip naming the home and selection, navigation buttons under the axes, a sidebar (N: Item, Tool, View).
- Properties: tabs as icons down its left edge (Object, World, Environment, Bundle, Headset); sections are panels on
lighter boxes; labels right-aligned in a column. Sound is part of the Environment tab.
- Timeline: transport in its header, a ruler in seconds with the playhead. Status bar: what the mouse does.
- Keys: Shift+A add menu, X asks before deleting, F3 menu search, Alt+A, Space, Numpad 1/3/7 views, T, N.
- Inter (SIL OFL) built in as the interface font; a palette of cool greys, one blue, Frame Studio's orange.
- ImGui patches (marked Frame Studio): the submenu triangle, and dropdown arrows drawn small on the field.
- Self-test: an area dragged to dock elsewhere, Reset Layout, workspaces, F3 (104/104).
- Guides follow the new menus.

- World > Add > Invisible Wall: a 2 x 2.5 m box (Object role) standing on the floor across the view. Frame Home
never draws it; it stops you and is never stood on.
- Meta's invisible walls (a solid collider with nothing drawn, 2 m or taller: Cascadia's, Space Station's, Desert
Terrace's, Haven's) load as invisible walls instead of surfaces, so the play space they bound holds.
- Walk grid: a drawn floor's edge exemption no longer applies within a body's radius of a wall, so a wall through a
drawn floor takes that floor away. tools/walktest/wallcheck: walls at every angle never have walkable area inside.
- New items land on the home's own surfaces when the spot is beyond the walkable area.
- The Planet (World > Add > Planet, Planet Pull) is gone; older files' planet zones still load.
- ImGui menus: a safe triangle from where the pointer was on the item to the whole submenu; crossing other items
on the way neither opens them nor closes it (resting 0.3 s still does).
- Self-test: invisible wall placed, walked into (with and without the area), through a drawn floor, undone (98/98).

- Bundle tab: name, environments with their pictures (read in place), add the open one / My Environments / any
.fenv, reorder, remove, double-click to open (unpacked first), Save / Save As, Install on Steam Frame (onto the
Headset tab's list), Unpack into My Environments. Saving and unpacking run in the background.
- .fbundle opens from File > Open, the Bundle menu or a drop; the installer takes bundles and shows the first .fenv.
- HslRenderer::createPicture / releasePicture for UI thumbnails.
- Inspector tabs: ImGui draws a tab's label with the padding at BeginTabBar, so the snug padding is pushed there too.
- Self-test: bundle make, save, validate, reopen and unpack (93/93).
- docs/bundles.md written; Studio guide and README follow.
- Linux: no GLFW_INCLUDE_NONE redefinition, freopen's result checked.

- LICENSE: GNU Affero General Public License v3 (as the author's MetaDB),
shipped in every package; third_party/qhe/LICENSE.md keeps Quest Home
Editor's MIT terms for the code that started there
- Install on Steam Frame lives in the Inspector's Headset tab (no floating
window); FS_INSPECTOR_TAB=<tab> starts Studio on a tab

- the window is laid out as an editor dock: a tool strip (drawn icons) on the
left edge, the Explorer, the 3D view, and a tabbed Inspector on the right
(Selected, World, Environment, Sound, Headset); the timeline and the status
bar run along the bottom
- the old one-piece properties panel is split into one function per tab;
selecting something shows the Selected tab
- the Frame menu is now Headset (and opens the Headset panel); the tuning
tooltip describes the paced walk

- ImGuizmo is compiled with -fno-strict-aliasing on GCC/Clang: its type
punning let Clang for x64 turn gizmo drags into NaN transforms
- 32-bit: the .fenv packer keeps LZMA within a 32-bit address space (saves
failed with out-of-memory); failed saves are logged
- std::to_string of file times and the 32-bit descriptor handle cast compile
on every standard library
- Linux fonts: Noto Sans, then Liberation Sans, then DejaVu; the Play/Pause
button sizes to its label; macOS fonts are rasterized at Retina density
- self-test stages allow at least 3000 frames (software GPUs draw ~30 a second)
- headset payload rebuilt from this source

Frame Studio now builds for Windows (x64, x86, ARM64), Linux (x64, x86, ARM64)
and macOS (Apple Silicon, Intel):
- studio/platform.h with Win32 and POSIX implementations (dialogs through
tinyfiledialogs on Linux/macOS), a GLFW window beside the Win32 one, and a
platform-neutral frame pacer
- MoltenVK support in the renderer (portability enumeration) and bundled in
the macOS app
- 32-bit builds: large-address-aware, LZMA packing within a 32-bit address space
- unaligned file reads in the loaders go through loadUnaligned (no UB)
- scripts/build-studio.sh, studio/build_windows.bat [x64|x86|arm64],
cmake/llvm-mingw.cmake, and a GitHub Actions workflow building every target
Frame Home installs without Studio: frame/install-frame-home.{sh,ps1} and
"Install Frame Home.bat" (packaged as FrameHome-installer.zip).
