## Unreleased
- Clarify first-time desktop downloads, installation and opening on the website
and README, including CPU choices, unsigned-app warnings, pairing fallback
and the source-only iOS build. Keep section navigation available on mobile.
- Treat headset aliases and other CSV metadata as plain text in power and heat
exports, so spreadsheet formula prefixes cannot run when a report is opened.

## Open the app
- **macOS:** open the `.dmg`, drag **Frame Control** to **Applications**, then
open it from Applications. For the unsigned-app warning, use the macOS steps
above. Allow local network access and control of Terminal when prompted.
- **Windows:** run the installer, then open **Frame Control** from Start. For
the portable download, extract the entire `.zip` first and run
`Frame Control.exe` inside it. See the SmartScreen note above.
- **Linux:** install the `.deb` with your package installer and launch
**Frame Control** from your applications menu; or make the AppImage executable
and run it as described above. Install the OpenSSH client if `ssh` is missing.
## Set up the headset
You type one password on the headset, once. Everything else happens on your
computer.
Keep the Frame awake and connect it and your computer to the same trusted local
network. Guest Wi-Fi/client isolation can prevent discovery and connections.
1. **On the Frame:** Steam Settings → System → **Enable Developer Mode**, then
in the Developer section, **Set User Password**. Pick something short:
you'll type it once more on your computer and then never again.
2. **On your computer:** open Frame Control. It offers to **Set Up
Connection**, which finds the headset, creates an SSH key, and asks for that
password once in a terminal window. If it can't find the Frame, type the
IP address from the Frame's Quick Settings.
Before asking for the password it tries Valve's SteamOS devkit pairing: in
the headset, open Steam Settings → Developer → **Pair new host** and approve
the request, and no password is needed. (The service and the pairing-mode
step are verified on a Frame; the approval itself isn't yet. See
[SSH](docs/ssh.md#password-free-pairing-steamos-devkit-service).)
3. That's it. The app now reaches the headset whenever it's awake and on the
same network. For anywhere else, see [Tailscale](docs/tailscale.md).
Developer → **Set User Password**. Choose a password that isn't easy to guess:
it also protects `sudo` and remote desktop, even after SSH keys are set up.
2. **On your computer:** open Frame Control and choose **Set Up Connection…**.
If you dismissed the first-run prompt, use **Frame → Set Up Connection…**.
Setup opens a terminal and tries to find the headset. If it can't, use its IP
address from Quick Settings or Steam Settings → Internet. Windows/Linux setup
prompts for it; macOS exits instead. On macOS, return to the app →
**Devices & connection → + Add a headset…**, set SSH alias to `frame` for
the default headset, fill in **Address**, then choose **Set Up…**.
3. **Pair or enter the password:** setup first tries Valve's devkit pairing.
Open Steam Settings → Developer → **Pair new host** in the headset and approve
only the request you just started. The service and pairing-mode step are
verified on a Frame; approval and key installation through that flow remain
unverified. If pairing fails or times out, setup falls back to asking for the
Developer Mode password in the computer's terminal. Password typing may show
no characters; press Enter when done. See [SSH details](docs/ssh.md#password-free-pairing-steamos-devkit-service).
4. After setup succeeds, return to Frame Control. It uses SSH keys for later
connections whenever the Frame is awake and reachable. If it stays offline,
check Developer Mode, the address and network isolation, then run setup again.
For connections away from home, see [Tailscale](docs/tailscale.md).

Point `GITHUB_REPO` in `.dev.vars` at a scratch repo when testing locally so test issues don't land on the real tracker.
## First-run verification
Before changing download or setup instructions:
- Compare every linked filename with `gh release view --repo saphid/frame-control --json tagName,assets`.
Browser OS hints cannot establish CPU architecture; keep every platform choice visible.
- Run `node --test site/test/*.test.mjs` from the repo root, plus
`node --check site/public/js/site.js` and `node --check site/public/js/feedback.js`.
- Serve `public/` locally (for example `python3 -m http.server 8793 --directory site/public`
from the repo root). Check 320px, 390px, 768px and desktop widths: section navigation,
the hero link, download cards, opening-help links, feedback and privacy pages. Check
horizontal overflow and that anchor targets clear the sticky header. Repeat with
JavaScript disabled: downloads and navigation must remain available.
- Check setup labels against `app/main.js`, `scripts/connect.sh`, `ui/frame_connect.py`
and the Devices page. macOS discovery failure exits; Windows/Linux prompt for an IP.
The app's Devices → Add a headset dialog can pass an explicit address on all platforms.
- Separate website checks from native installation and real-headset pairing evidence.
A successful page/link check does not verify an installer or headset approval flow.
On 2026-10-24, the first-run update was checked against published v0.4.16 assets:
all seven linked desktop installers returned HTTP 200 after redirects, as did the
linked GitHub documentation and trailer. Local page/resource links and section
fragments were checked; navigation stayed visible without horizontal overflow at
320, 390, 768 and 1280 CSS pixels. Native macOS/Windows installs and real-headset
pairing were not exercised for this documentation change. No site deployment was
performed.
