## Unreleased
- Compare two explicit Windows Wireless Adapter doctor reads in local memory.
Highlight exact PnP instances and known state changes after a dropout;
incomplete inventories stay unknown. A Forget button clears the comparison.
No adapter setting changes or report uploads are made.
- Add recovery steps to the Windows Wireless Adapter doctor for streams that
drop as they start and dongles that will not reconnect. Compare exact PnP IDs
and test one connection condition at a time. In-app disable/re-enable remains

# What we have tested
Current for Frame Control **v0.4.25**, 25 October 2026. “Real Frame + physical PC” means an actual headset and a non-virtual computer. “VM only” means a Windows virtual machine, sometimes connected to the real Frame. A CI test or a simulated device is **not** a physical hardware test. The date/version column is the last relevant check, not a promise that every new release was retested on that platform. See each link for the exact procedure and limits.
| Feature | Real Frame + physical PC tested | VM only | Untested or limited | Last check and proof |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Windows desktop in the headset | No physical Windows PC test | Windows 11 VM sent a whole desktop to a real Frame; this used an intermediate fix, not the final native DLL | Physical GPU, capture and controller input; individual windows unavailable in bundled DXGI build | 24 Oct, v0.4.10 installer + candidate fix: [VM log](evidence/windows-vm-2026-10-24.md), [PC guide](pc-in-headset.md) |
| Linux desktop in the headset | No | No | Native Linux PC capture is disabled; lxso2 lacked a desktop portal and PipeWire session. The separate Steam `-pipewire` helper is not Frame Control's PC capture | 24 Oct, v0.4.17: [host audit](evidence/linux-pc-host-lxso2-2026-10-24.md), [Steam helper PR #163](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/163) |
| Mac desktop in the headset | A physical Mac sent its screen/window to a real Frame | No | Current v0.4.25 Mac installer and worn-headset controller input have not been repeated | 28 Sep, pre-v0.4 / Frame OS 0.4.1: [Mac guide and measurement](streaming.md#b-show-the-macs-desktop-inside-the-frame) |
| OBS headset source on Linux | Real Frame to OBS 30 on a Linux host; H.264 video and a synthetic 440 Hz output tone reached a saved recording | No | Real game audio, audible monitoring, perceptual A/V sync and awake headset view | 25 Oct, PR #174 head, shipped in v0.4.22: [OBS log](evidence/obs-media-source-real-2026-10-25.md) |
| OBS headset source on Windows | No physical Windows PC test | No OBS/Frame VM end-to-end test | App Start/Stop path has automated Windows checks only | 25 Oct, v0.4.23: [Windows PR #179](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/179), [OBS guide](obs-headset-source.md) |
| OBS headset source on macOS | No | No | Helper and OBS Media Source not tested on a Mac with a Frame | 25 Oct, v0.4.22: [OBS PR #174](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/174), [OBS guide](obs-headset-source.md) |
| Wired connection doctor | No physical PC/Frame cable test of the doctor | No | Synthetic route/SSH tests; a separate Mac USB-C address observation does not test the doctor or game stream | 25 Oct, v0.4.23: [PR #178](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/178), [wired guide](wired-connection.md) |
| Windows Wireless Adapter doctor | No physical Steam Wireless Adapter/dropout test | Windows 11 VM ran read-only checks without the adapter or WLAN | Adapter identification, dropouts and recovery on hardware | 24–25 Oct, v0.4.20–0.4.25: [VM log](evidence/windows-wireless-2026-10-24.md), [doctor guide](windows-wireless-doctor.md), [comparison PR #184](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/184) |
| Linux Wireless Adapter doctor | No Steam Wireless Adapter hardware test | No | Read-only Linux host checks and mocked adapter states; no adapter-specific hardware observation | 24 Oct, v0.4.20: [PR #165](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/165), [doctor guide](linux-wireless-adapter-doctor.md) |
| Switch PC windows | No physical Windows PC test | No real VM-to-Frame Alt+Tab check recorded | Explicit chord is covered by tests; actual window focus, keyboard layouts and controller interaction are unverified | 25 Oct, v0.4.24: [PR #181](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/181), [PC guide](pc-in-headset.md) |
| Keyboard and trackpad from Frame Control | A Linux PC sent a click and ASCII keys to a temporary focused window on the real Frame | No | Worn-headset interaction, Unicode delivery and pixel-accurate pointing | 24 Oct, v0.4.19: [received-event log](evidence/pad-gamescope-2026-10-24.md), [PR #66](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/66) |
| Backup and restore after reset | Same-headset backup, no-op save restore and Return to Game Mode checks | No | Restore **after a factory reset**, replacement restore and Android data restore have not been tested on a headset. No headset reset was done | 24 Oct, v0.4.17: [backup guide](backup-and-recovery.md), [Return to Game Mode log](evidence/return-game-mode-packaged-2026-10-24.json) |
| Passthrough in recordings | No active-passthrough mirror check | No | Standby frame was uniform; whether visible room pixels enter `/dev/video99` is **unknown**. Raw cameras are never captured by Frame Control | 25 Oct, v0.4.21: [headset log](evidence/round3-headset-2026-10-25.md), [recording guide](recording.md#does-record-include-passthrough) |
Release notes must preserve these limits until a newer recorded check changes them. When a feature is retested, add its date, exact app/Frame version, host type and proof here. The older [v0.3.1 matrix](support-matrix.html) is a historical snapshot and does not describe current coverage.

The app shows **Changes since previous read** after the second click. It
compares exact PnP IDs, known status fields and reported channels/bands; an
unknown value is never treated as a state change. If the PnP source was
unavailable in either read, it declines to compare devices. Each successful
read becomes the baseline for the next one. **Forget previous read** clears the
baseline and comparison; closing the app clears them too. The before/after
comparison stays in local memory and is not uploaded or added to telemetry.
Reported changes can reflect sequential query timing or a service recovering,
not a fault or permission to disable any instance.
To narrow a drop at stream start, try one condition at a time: wired PC
networking instead of PC Wi-Fi, wired headphones instead of 2.4 GHz audio, and
spacing the USB radio dongles apart. Recheck the stream after each change. The
