saphidandClaude Opus 5.5 604e8da99e Play without the theatre surround if SteamVR refuses it
Review (SWE-2 Max): a non-standby error creating the cosmetic surround
at startup still ended playback before the screen appeared. Theatre now
logs it and plays without the surround. close() treats any per-overlay
teardown error as best effort (signals are already ignored there).

saphidandClaude Opus 5.5 8137740a4d Never end playback over the cosmetic surround; always shut down OpenVR
Review (SWE-2 Max): a non-standby error re-sending the theatre surround
could end a healthy still, and a non-RuntimeError during DestroyOverlay
skipped VR_ShutdownInternal. drain() now drops a surround that fails for
other reasons, and close() shuts down in finally. Fake overlay handles no
longer depend on call order.

# Changelog
## Unreleased
- Fix smoke cleanup skipping orphan metadata and Steam shortcuts after a test
title directory was already removed. Sweep and verify all six exact reserved
smoke IDs; preserve similarly named titles. Make `scripts/frame-smoke.sh`
work with POSIX sh and Python 3 without zsh, including from another working
directory. Local regressions cover both fixes; no new headset run.
- Skip backup saves and settings reached through a symbolic link anywhere below
the home folder, and recheck paths before packing each file. Local synthetic
tests cover redirected Proton prefixes and links changed after discovery;
concurrent filesystem changes can still race the checks.
[Backup layout and limits](docs/backup-and-recovery.md).
- Import a base APK with supported native-library or asset splits from a local
Android backup or XAPK/APKS/APKM bundle. Check package and version before
install; refuse resource, code and feature splits and device-variant sets.
This route has local fixture coverage, not a real split-game headset test.
- Save Steam screenshots under a separate folder for each headset, Steam
account and game. Equal screenshot filenames no longer overwrite one another;
existing files in the old flat folder are left in place.
[Copying guide](docs/recording.md).
- Keep Steam clip exports separate for each headset, Steam account and nested
recording session. Manual export and automatic copying use the same folders;
existing flat exports stay untouched and do not mark unrelated clips saved.
[Recording guide](docs/recording.md#steam-clips).
- 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
deferred until an active Steam adapter instance can be identified safely.
[Guide and limits](docs/windows-wireless-doctor.md).
- Add an explicit host window-switch button to whole-display panels: Alt-Tab
on Windows and Command-Tab on macOS. Single-window panels keep their own
source, so the button is hidden there.
- Enable the in-app OBS source Start/Stop control on Windows. A control pipe
lets the Python relay close its SSH child on Stop, app quit or parent exit;
add a short [Discord guide](docs/streaming-to-discord.md).
- Add a read-only wired connection doctor for a PC using the Frame's observed
USB-C network: show the local route, SSH port and pinned-key login result
without changing IP, host keys or headset settings.
[Usage and limits](docs/wired-connection.md).
- Start the Android app catalogue without waiting for the headset's installed-app
list. Browsing remains available if that status request is slow or fails;
installation still waits for a confirmed list to avoid duplicate installs.
- Verify the packaged OBS Start and Stop control with a real Frame, and record
37.600 seconds of headset mirror video and non-silent output audio in OBS.
Listening, sync and active passthrough remain unverified.
[Test record](docs/evidence/obs-media-source-real-2026-10-25.md).
- Bundle the OBS source helper in Linux and macOS installers and add a
**Capture & Live** Start/Stop control. The app selects the active Frame and
closes its SSH stream on a headset switch or app exit. A real Frame stream
reached OBS with video and non-silent audio; listening and sync remain
unverified. [Setup and limits](docs/obs-headset-source.md).
- Add a source-checkout helper that sends the Frame's SteamVR mirror and
default-output audio to a local OBS Media Source. A real Frame supplied a
4.021-second H.264/AAC stream to a Linux receiver; OBS playback and sync
remain unverified. [Setup and limits](docs/obs-headset-source.md).
- Link emulator setup guidance from Store → Emulators. Existing Steam library
shortcuts and artwork cover Android apps and sideloaded titles; Android ROM
transfer still needs a verified per-instance workflow.
[Guide](docs/emulators.md).
- Record the current Frame OS mirror and charge-limit checks. Active
passthrough in the mirror is still unknown; this build has no supported
user-writable 80% charge-limit control.
[Headset evidence](docs/evidence/round3-headset-2026-10-25.md).
- Add Windows Tools → Wireless Adapter doctor: an explicit read-only PC snapshot
of distinct Wi-Fi Direct PnP instances, presence/link state, PC Wi-Fi and
reported channels/bands, with possible 2.4 GHz overlap guidance. Unknowns stay
visible; no adapter disable action is offered because an unused instance
cannot be identified reliably. No headset access or settings changes.
[Sources, verification and limits](docs/windows-wireless-doctor.md).
- Add a Linux PC Wireless Adapter doctor in Settings and Devices, with a source
CLI and local JSON report. Select observed hardware without assuming Valve
IDs; inspect USB/interface presence, driver/module binding, udev/permissions,
rfkill, channel/band and network manager evidence. Missing evidence stays
unknown; all checks are read-only and never contact the Frame.
[Usage and verification limits](docs/linux-wireless-adapter-doctor.md).
- Add Linux Tools → Steam desktop sharing: request `steam -pipewire` only after
checking Steam is not running, or open KDE Application Permissions with
instructions to revoke a verified Steam screen-sharing session manually. No
automatic permission reset, Steam restart, or headset access. Frame Control
Linux capture remains disabled; live portal behavior is unverified.
[Usage and limits](docs/steam-pipewire.md).
- Use gamescope's input for the keyboard and trackpad, following the focused
headset panel without installing an input service. Start KDE Connect only for
accents and emoji, keeping queued text ordered and cancelling it on headset
switches. Retain intended-headset checks before starting either control and
prevent Unicode helper startup from deadlocking with a headset switch.
- Keep accepted keyboard text when the Unicode queue is full: reject new batches
before sending their clicks or keys, and count in-flight text toward the limit.
Retain unsent text after helper failures/timeouts, report the error and resume
it with Try again. Clean up failed workers without touching a new headset's queue.
[Current verification and device limits](docs/evidence/pad-gamescope-2026-10-24.md).
- Keep media playback running when SteamVR refuses the optional theatre dark
surround, including a retry after standby. Log the refusal and play without
the surround. Overlay teardown attempts every owned handle and always calls
OpenVR shutdown even if a handle fails to close.
- Check the desktop server's single-instance lock before starting background
downloads, so a second server exits cleanly with the existing "already
running" message.
- Recheck saved spatial layouts on SteamOS 0.5.6 / SteamVR 2.18.2 (issue #31).
Read-only probes expose some panel geometry, but safe restoration of
Steam/gamescope docking and positions remains unverified. Record exact API
results and a reproducible probe; saved layouts remain unavailable.
- Record packaged v0.4.17 Desktop Capture succeeding on a mapped nested KDE
compositor on a real Frame with SteamOS 0.5.6. Headset overlay visibility was
not established; this is evidence, not a new fix or resolution of issue #73.
- Correct the Return to Game Mode help text: Frame Control selects the switch
supported by the headset's SteamOS build, including `steamosctl` on current
Frames. The button's behavior is unchanged.
- Distinguish an unreadable gamescope panel list from a confirmed empty list in
Desktop Capture and Control (issue #73). Failed discovery now asks users to
check SteamVR and report the exact message and SteamOS version, rather than
claiming no panel is open. This does not establish a new capture fix.
- Add an opt-in desktop low-battery alert without starting a family session.
Existing status reads confirm low charge and drain; recovery hysteresis and a
ten-minute cooldown limit repeat alerts. Off on page open/headset switch;
pauses with hidden-page status refreshes. No extra polling or headset changes.
- 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.
- Add desktop Tools → Power & heat report: bounded read-only one/five-minute
observations with progress, stop and HTML/JSON/CSV downloads. Received samples
survive stop, disconnect and headset switch, labeled incomplete and tied to the
original headset. Shared sampler/report modules ship with the app; no power or
thermal controls are added. Download before replacing a report or quitting.
- Fix Return to Game Mode misidentifying full Plasma Desktop Mode when its VR
overlay also runs gamescope (issue #142). Session targets now determine the
mode; conflicting or incomplete evidence stays unknown. Use SteamOS's
`steamosctl` switch when available, with older selector commands retained.
- Export read-only power and heat observations to an offline accessible HTML
report with JSON/CSV downloads. `--html FILE` limits sessions to ten minutes;
Ctrl+C saves received samples with an explicit incomplete state. Units,
unknown counts and sources remain visible; no headset controls are added.
- Add a guarded `frame-doctor.sh --plan` with read-only, evidence-specific next
steps and explicit local baseline reports for before/after diagnostics (issue
#34). Restart risk blocks plans/comparisons; no automatic repairs, password
changes or headset security changes are performed.
- Recover a tagged release upload when GitHub temporarily displays its draft
as `untagged-…` after an edit, without creating a duplicate draft or
silently retrying unrelated upload failures.
- Import standalone APK/OBB backups from XAPK/APKS/APKM archives through the
existing preview and game-data setup flow. Unsafe archives, split sets and
Android/data restores are refused with guidance. This does not establish RE4
compatibility or diagnose its reported failure (issue #102).
- Add `scripts/frame-power-sample.sh`, a bounded read-only SSH sampler for
battery, CPU, named temperatures, fan and available power rails (issue #52).
JSON samples/summaries and CSV exports retain explicit unavailable states;
active smoke-test locks stop measurement. No power settings are changed.
- Show saved Android compatibility reports on store search cards and app details.
Reports refresh in the background, so a stalled database or credential lookup
cannot delay search. Warnings allow installation; build compatibility blockers
still apply. Public copies use this computer's reports, not private shared ratings.
- Fix two cases where optional diagnostic logs could retain part of a headset
display name or an SSH host name, while preserving existing privacy redaction
(issue #81).
- Keep the full host-key recovery explanation readable in Devices, including
long addresses, and remove doubled punctuation from the connection tooltip
(issue #87). Refresh stays within the header and switching headsets selects
the new headset's details.
- Fix experimental PC screen capture on Windows builds whose streaming libraries
lack Windows Graphics Capture. Whole screens use Desktop Duplication; individual
windows are hidden with an explanation instead of failing when shown. A Windows
VM streamed a real desktop to the Frame; physical input remains unverified.
- Add read-only battery health in Tools: charging state, temperature, cycle count,
and available capacity with explicit unknown states. The parser was checked
on a real Frame; the connected desktop UI was tested with synthetic readings.
- Add Tools → Game storage: read-only headset filesystem capacity and Steam
library/game install-size breakdown, with unknown sizes, partial inventories
and permission/missing-drive states. Includes instructions for Steam's own
Move UI; Frame Control does not move or delete game files. The read-only
parser was checked on a real Frame; the connected UI and game moves were not.
- Add `scripts/frame-doctor.sh` for read-only setup and pairing diagnostics,
with verified SSH identity, private summaries and actionable next steps
(issue #34). Connection steps links to the diagnostic guide. Repairs remain
manual; restart-loop evidence stops deeper diagnostics. The real Frame
verified the SSH connection and safety stop; deeper checks were skipped.
- Fixed headset smoke cleanup reporting success while a smoke-title process
could remain running after its files were removed. Cleanup now stops and
rechecks processes tied to exact reserved test-title paths, uses PID handles
for safe TERM/KILL escalation, and records stopped PIDs. Unrelated titles and
shared Wine services are left alone. Verified with local Linux process
regressions and a 13/13 real Frame smoke run that stopped five test-owned
Proton process PIDs before removing the Windows test title.
- Keep failed automatic screenshot and clip copies visible after three attempts.
**Resume** and **Copy everything now** allow another try without restarting;
headset switches cannot use another headset's list or saved-file history.

<summary><b>macOS: the app isn't notarized</b></summary>
The app has an **ad hoc signature**, no Apple Developer ID signature, and no
notarization. The DMG is unsigned. First verify the download against the
`SHA256SUMS` from the same release, then open the DMG and drag **Frame Control**
to **Applications**.
Check your processor before opening: v0.4.38 and earlier publish only
`mac-arm64` for Apple Silicon. On an Intel Mac, this build cannot run;
removing quarantine or installing Rosetta does not make an ARM app run on Intel.
On a real Intel MacBook Air with macOS 15.7.7, opening v0.4.35 and v0.4.36
reported: **“The application cannot be opened because it has an incorrect
executable format.”** This is an architecture failure, not an observed
Gatekeeper warning. The official **v0.4.39 Intel DMG** was then verified,
installed and launched on that Air. Both CLI and T3 browser downloads lacked
quarantine metadata; no Gatekeeper dialog appeared, while `spctl` rejected the
ad hoc signed app. This does not verify Safari/Chrome warnings or Open Anyway.
See the [released Intel test](docs/evidence/mac-v0439-2026-10-26.md) and
[earlier architecture failure](docs/evidence/mac-desktop-2026-10-26.md).
On a compatible Mac, if macOS blocks an unverified developer, try opening the
app once, then go to **System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway**
and confirm **Open**. Only do this for a download you verified and trust.
[Apple's opening instructions](https://support.apple.com/102445) describe the
current security controls. The exact warning and this override flow have not
yet been verified here on either Mac architecture.
If a trusted, verified copy still reports “damaged” and offers no Open Anyway
option, the Terminal fallback removes only this app's download quarantine
(it does not sign or notarize the app):
There's no paid Apple developer account behind it, so macOS says the app is
damaged or can't be checked. Drag it to Applications, then clear the download
quarantine once:
```sh
xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Frame Control.app"
```
Then open it from Applications. Do not disable Gatekeeper globally. Depending
on the features you use, macOS may also request Local Network access, permission
to control Terminal, or Screen Recording; approve only the feature you intend
to use. Those permission prompts were not verified in the release test above.
The first time, macOS also asks to allow local network access (for SSH) and
control of Terminal (for the password prompts).

## Open the app
**Optional: open at login.** In the installed desktop app, choose **Frame → Open at Login**. It is off by default. When on, a login launch starts in the tray or menu bar if that control is available; click its icon to open the window, or use its **Quit Frame Control** menu item. Closing the window keeps the app in the tray while this option is on. Turn the same menu option off to remove its OS login item. On Linux this creates or removes only Frame Control's own file in `~/.config/autostart/` (or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart/`). If the desktop has no working tray, the window opens at login instead. A source checkout does not offer this setting.
- **macOS:** open the `.dmg`, drag **Frame Control** to **Applications**, then
open it from Applications. For the Gatekeeper 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
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.
You type one password on the headset, once. Everything else happens on your
computer.
1. **On the Frame:** Steam Settings → System → **Enable Developer Mode**, then
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).
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.
**Does Frame Control lower streaming lag?** No. Frame Control manages the Frame
over SSH. SteamVR or Steam Link carries the game stream. Frame Control does not
carry that stream, lower ping, or need the Wireless Adapter. It can connect over
Wi-Fi, the Wireless Adapter, or USB when your computer has an SSH route to the
Frame. The wired doctor checks only that SSH route. A data-capable USB-A-to-C
cable has not been tested for the Frame's USB network. See the
[connection FAQ and Japanese quick start](docs/connection-faq.md).
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).

Consent unticked itself after sending. SIGTERM removed the panel, profile, log

**Not verified while unworn:** every headset capture was a uniform dark frame,
so SteamVR's rendered view of panels and the game could not be checked; window
captures (`xwd`) were used instead. MCP can launch a game or panel but has no
tool to stop one: the tester stopped them over SSH. Removing an app leaves any
runtime it pulled in; Flatpak may also remove related extensions when that
runtime is removed by hand.

# Import an Android game backup
A SideQuest backup can contain a small APK and much larger `main.…obb` and
`patch.…obb` files. All of them belong to the same game. Installing only the APK
can leave the game unable to start because its assets are missing.
In **Add / Install → Import Android game** (or **Apps → Browse → Import Android game**), choose the base APK, any supported splits, and its OBB files together.
You can also drop them anywhere in the window. In the desktop app, dropping the
APK alone finds matching OBB files beside it; dropping a folder containing the
APK and OBBs also works. Browsers can read only the files you explicitly choose.
The import screen shows the game app and its game-data files together. **Import
game & data** installs the APK, starts its own Steam library instance, waits for
Android and the installed package, copies the OBBs, and closes the game. Open it
again from the Steam library to play. The screen explains this before import;
choosing files alone never starts a game.
Files are matched using the package inside the APK and the standard
`main|patch.<version>.<package>.obb` name, not the APK's filename. Both main and
patch files are preserved. OBB version numbers need not equal the APK's current
version code: updates can reuse older expansion files. The copy uses the existing
SHA-256 transfer check inside Android and writes to that game's own
`/sdcard/Android/obb/<package>` folder.
If no data files are selected, the screen reminds you to include any OBBs in the
backup before offering **Install game app**. An APK cannot reliably tell Frame
Control whether separate expansion files are required. Game-data files are never
silently sent to Downloads by this flow.
If setup fails, the import screen keeps the error and retry instructions visible.
The APK may already be installed, but the game is not reported ready. Import the
same backup again, or choose just its OBB files to add data to an existing install.
The importer checks the installed package and version before writing data and
closes the instance after a failed copy. Unrelated or duplicate files, running
games that would be replaced, and downgrades are rejected. Uploaded staging files
are discarded after use or cancellation; abandoned imports expire after an hour
when the importer is next used, and dead-server staging folders are swept at
startup.
This flow handles one base APK, supported native-library or asset splits, and
standard OBB files for one game at a time. It checks the package and version in
each split manifest before touching the headset. The existing Quest merger
rejects resource, code and feature splits and sets with multiple device
variants. A merged APK is re-signed; that can affect a game's licence or login.
XAPK/APKS/APKM archives use the same checks. Nested Android/data folders and
private save archives remain unsupported. PC ZIP/folder/EXE imports keep their
existing route. Quest USB and Meta library imports keep their existing workflow.
Validation covers actual APK parsing, the three-file backup layout, package
matching, sibling discovery, browser upload staging and cleanup, instance/version
guards and failure recovery with mocked headset operations. Browser verification
uses the real page and upload/inspection endpoints with simulated installation.
**Verified 2026-10-20 on a real Steam Frame**, BUILD_ID `20260925.6191901`:
F-Droid Basic 2.0.2 with two synthetic main/patch OBBs completed the automatic
install/start/copy/close sequence. Reopening its persistent instance confirmed
both SHA-256 hashes in `/sdcard/Android/obb/org.fdroid.basic`. The test app,
shortcut and instance were removed afterward, the shared device lock was
released, and the battery remained at 99%. See [device evidence](evidence/android-import/device.json).
The headset was unworn; this checks transfer and persistence, not rendering,
Resident Evil 4 gameplay, or a game that exits before data can be copied. This
flow does not change APK compatibility or remove licence checks.
The supported-split backup route was checked with generated local fixtures and
existing merger tests, not a real split game on the Frame.

# APK repositories
Frame Control supports **F-Droid-format repositories**, including F-Droid,
F-Droid archive, IzzyOnDroid and user-provided HTTPS repositories. Repository
indexes are authenticated before their apps appear. Search lists builds with
Android API ≤30 and arm64-v8a or no native libraries, using the same streaming
reducer as the existing catalogue. This does not guarantee an app works in Lepton.
## Formats considered
| Format | Users and purpose | Support in this source |
|---|---|---|
| F-Droid v2 | F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, self-hosted fdroidserver repositories; consumed by F-Droid clients including Droid-ify and Neo Store | Preferred: signed `entry.jar` authenticates `entry.json`; its SHA-256 authenticates `index-v2.json`, which supplies APK SHA-256 hashes |
| F-Droid v1 | Older F-Droid servers and clients | Fallback: verify `index-v1.jar`, then read its signed `index-v1.json` |
| Obtainium configurations / exports | Obtainium users share app URLs plus source-specific filters and update settings; exports can contain a list of app configuration objects | Not imported here: configurations describe how to find releases, not one signed repository index |
| SideQuest listings / custom feeds | SideQuest's own app discovery and installation service | No interoperable signed custom-repository specification was established from the public project documentation examined; SideQuest needs its own adapter |
| GitHub release lists | Developers publish APK assets on release pages; community lists link to projects | Not a repository standard: asset naming, build selection and publisher verification vary; handled separately from this F-Droid source |
| Minimal JSON list | A private list could contain package, title, APK URL and SHA-256 | Deliberately not introduced: unsigned hashes downloaded alongside files do not authenticate their publisher; another bespoke signing/update protocol would duplicate F-Droid |

## Add a repository in Frame Control
From the Frame Control checkout, use its source-management CLI:
```sh
python3 ui/apk_sources/fdroid.py add 'https://example.org/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=YOUR_64_HEX_CERTIFICATE_FINGERPRINT' --name 'My apps'
python3 ui/apk_sources/fdroid.py list
python3 ui/apk_sources/fdroid.py search SOURCE_ID 'music'
python3 ui/apk_sources/fdroid.py download SOURCE_ID org.example.app
python3 ui/apk_sources/fdroid.py remove SOURCE_ID
```
Replace `SOURCE_ID` with the `id` printed by `add` or `list`. `--fingerprint`
can also supply the pin. `fdroidrepos://example.org/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=…`
links are accepted and converted to HTTPS. Conflicting fingerprints are refused.
A URL must identify the repository directory, not its website or an index file.
Adding fetches and validates the complete index **before saving** the source.
Without a fingerprint, Frame Control verifies the JAR signature and remembers
its signer: trust on first use (TOFU). This establishes continuity with the
first server response, not independent publisher identity. Obtain the published
fingerprint through a trusted channel when possible; the store's Add a source
form shows the pinned one ("Trusted on first use: …") so you can compare it.
Re-adding an existing URL preserves its pin; changing it requires deliberately
removing and re-adding it.
### Repositories behind a login
Some self-hosted repositories sit behind HTTP basic auth. As in F-Droid's own
client, the login can be part of the address
(`https://user:pass@example.org/fdroid/repo`), or given separately: in the
store's **Add a source** form under "This repository needs a login", in the
server API (`username` and `password` beside `url`), or on the command line,
where the password is read from standard input so it stays out of shell history
and `ps`:
```sh
printf '%s\n' "$PASSWORD" | python3 ui/apk_sources/fdroid.py add 'https://example.org/fdroid/repo' --username me --password-stdin
```
How the login is kept and used:
- **Kept out of the address.** The `user:pass@` part is removed before anything
is saved, so the saved repository URL, its id, the source list, job results
and the page never contain it. The store only says "Uses a login".
- **Stored separately.** Logins live in
`frame_host.data_dir('source-credentials.json')`
(`~/Library/Application Support/Frame Control/source-credentials.json` on
macOS), written with mode 0600 and keyed by source id. They are stored in
plain text there, protected by file permissions only (on Windows,
the folder's normal ACLs). Removing the repository deletes its login, and
the file goes when the last login is removed. Each change holds a lock
file (`source-credentials.lock`), so the app and the command line can't undo
each other's saves or removals.
- **HTTPS only.** An `http://` address with a login is refused before any request.
- **Inside the repository only.** The `Authorization` header is decided
separately for every request, redirects included: index, `entry.jar`,
APKs and the store's artwork proxy. It is sent only when the request's
scheme, host and port match the repository's and its path is inside the
repository's directory by whole path segments. A redirect to another host
or port, or to another path on the same server, gets no login, and that
request's own `Authorization` header is removed. Paths with `.` or `..`
segments (plain or percent-encoded), encoded `/` or `\`, double encoding
or `;` get no login, since a server could normalise them to a path
outside the repository. Index file names like that are refused outright.
- **Never echoed.** Logins are not written to logs, error messages, API
responses or the cache. The CLI prints only the saved source.
- **Checked before saving.** As with any repository, the whole index must
download and verify before anything is saved. HTTP 401 (or 403 when a login
was sent) stops the add with "check the username and password" and saves
nothing: no repository, no login, no rollback state. A 403 with a login is
not treated as rate limiting.
- **Same verification.** The login changes only who may download. Signature,
fingerprint pin or TOFU, index hash and rollback checks apply exactly as for
any other repository.
Re-adding the same address with a new login replaces the saved one. Re-adding
it without a login keeps the saved one.
The API for the search/server integration is in `ui/apk_sources/fdroid.py`:
`add_repo(url, fingerprint=None, name=None, username=None, password=None)`, `remove_repo(source_id)`,
`set_enabled(source_id, enabled)`, and `user_repos()`. The module also exposes
`sources`, `search`, `details`, and `download` from the shared source contract.
This change supplies the CLI and API; the integrated source-management UI is
separate work. Built-in sources can be disabled but cannot be removed.
Settings and pins live in `frame_host.data_dir('apk-repos.json')`
(`~/Library/Application Support/Frame Control/apk-repos.json` on macOS).
Authenticated reduced indexes and APKs live under
`frame_host.cache_dir('apk-sources')`; indexes refresh after 24 hours. An
expired index is still served (marked stale in the store) while it refreshes in
the background; a failed refresh is retried after 10 minutes.
Only the running Frame Control app prunes cached APKs (at start and after store
downloads); the command-line tools never do.
The existing catalogue's unverified index cache is never treated as authenticated.
Rollback protection: each repository's newest accepted signed index timestamp
is kept in `apk-repo-state.json` next to the settings, and an older index is
refused. Once a repository has served a v2 `entry.jar`, a missing `entry.jar`
is an error rather than a reason to fall back to `index-v1.jar`. `entry.jar`
must be signed with SHA-2 (SHA-1 is still accepted for legacy `index-v1.jar`).
Removing a repository clears its state.
## Publish your own repository
Only publish free APKs you own or have the developer's permission to distribute.
Do not publish paid app mirrors or bypass store licences. Check distribution
terms before adding someone else's repository; this module does not infer legal
permission from a signature or automatically audit a repository's terms.
Install a current [fdroidserver](https://f-droid.org/docs/Installing_the_Server_and_Repo_Tools/)
and its documented Android/Java dependencies on the publishing machine, then:
```sh
mkdir my-fdroid
cd my-fdroid
fdroid init
# Set repo_url in config.yml to https://example.org/fdroid/repo
# Also set repo_name and repo_description; keep the generated signing key safe.
cp /path/to/your-free-app.apk repo/
fdroid update --create-metadata
# Review the generated metadata (name, summary, licence, source and website).
fdroid update
```
Serve the generated **repo directory** at that HTTPS URL, including APKs,
icons, `entry.jar`, `index-v2.json` and `index-v1.jar`. Do not publish the
private signing keystore or configuration passwords. Configure fdroidserver's
`serverwebroot` and run `fdroid deploy` for managed publication, or copy the
public directory with your existing deployment tool. Publish the SHA-256
repository certificate fingerprint displayed by fdroidserver in a link such as
`https://example.org/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=…`.
Keep the repository signing key backed up: changing it breaks existing pins.
For updates, add the new APK, edit metadata as needed, run `fdroid update` and
publish again. Test the published URL with Frame Control's `add`, `search` and
`download` commands. The above publisher setup is documented from fdroidserver;
it was not executed as part of this implementation.
## Verification and limits
The stdlib verifier supports one RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 JAR/CMS signer with a key of
2048–8192 bits; SHA-256/384/512 and legacy SHA-1 digest encodings are
recognized. It checks the signer certificate pin, the signature over `.SF`,
the whole-manifest digest, and the manifest's digest of the JSON member.
ECDSA, DSA, RSA-PSS, multiple signers and section-only `.SF` manifests are
rejected. Certificates are pinned identities, not validated as Web PKI chains.
HTTPS certificates are separately checked by Python's normal TLS validation.
v1 fallback occurs only when `entry.jar` returns HTTP 404 or 410. Signature,
fingerprint, index hash, TLS and server errors never trigger an unsigned
fallback. APKs are cached by SHA-256 and checked again before reuse. Here,
`verified: true` means the bytes match the signed repository's APK hash; it
is not an independent APK publisher-signature or runtime compatibility verdict.
There is no repository timestamp rollback/expiry policy or automated signing-key
rotation yet. An old correctly signed index can still validate.
Offline fixtures exercise v2, v1, TOFU, pin changes, disabled sources, cache
reuse, URL rejection and corruption of every signature/hash layer. On the Mac,
the real IzzyOnDroid repository was added with its published pin, searched for
Tiny Music Player, and its 16,520-byte APK downloaded with SHA-256
`d7bcb24d101b04beb3394b695b24be4e2c3d6ed702f1d0e06bc4dd707f64d86a`.

# Developer-consented APK sources
Surveyed 2026-09-28. Free access is not proof of redistribution permission or
Frame compatibility. These adapters fetch only public publisher releases or
link to publisher pages. They do not acquire store entitlements, defeat access
checks, install anything, or rehost APKs. See [VR compatibility](vr-apks.md).
| Source | Developer consent and automated-access position | API/feed; VR coverage | Decision |
|---|---|---|---|
| [itch.io](https://itch.io/docs/legal/terms) | Publishers warrant distribution rights (§4). Users may access content through the service; this is not blanket scraping permission. Main robots excludes `/game/download/`; author subdomains exclude `/*/download/`. No challenge bypass. | Public free Android RSS for `openxr` and `oculus-quest`; substantial indie VR. Server API is mostly authenticated publisher/account functionality, not a general anonymous store-download API. | Implement RSS search, artwork and page links; `downloadable: False`. The supplied free-download script follows keyed download pages excluded by robots, so it is not shipped. |
| [GitHub releases](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/releases/releases) | Maintainers publish assets; curated repositories below establish provenance. Public hosting or an open-source topic alone does not establish rights to every uploaded binary. Use supported REST API under [API terms](https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service#h-api-terms), not HTML crawling. | Releases API includes APK assets and sometimes SHA-256. Topic search finds OpenXR/Quest projects. 60 unauthenticated requests/hour; authenticated user limits are generally 5,000/hour, with separate search/secondary limits. | Implement curated downloads and explicit topic discovery. Unreviewed topic results are page-only. |
| [Uptodown](https://www.uptodown.com/aboutus) | Developer distribution program exists, but that does not prove publisher authorization for every catalog item. [Privacy policy](https://www.uptodown.com/aboutus/privacy) explicitly describes protection against automated access. General automation permission was not established. | Broad Android catalog, limited VR focus; no supported public consumer-download API established in this survey. | Page links only; no downloader. Do not infer consent from an unchanged APK signature. |
| [APKPure](https://apkpure.com/terms) | Third-party APK catalog; individual publisher consent and automation rights were not established. Terms request returned HTTP 403; no bypass attempted. | Broad Android coverage, incidental VR; internal endpoints are not permission to automate. | Exclude automatic indexing/downloading; user may open site. |
| [APKMirror](https://www.apkmirror.com/faq/) | Publisher-signed files and a free-app policy are not a blanket developer-consent or automation grant. FAQ request returned HTTP 403, so current terms could not be confirmed. | General Android/version archive; APK bundles often need another installer; little VR focus. No supported consumer-download API established. | Page links only, no scraping or bundle conversion. |
| [Aptoide](https://en.aptoide.com/company/legal) | Terms define an app supplier as developer, owner or authorized distributor; user stores still require per-item provenance. API availability alone does not settle third-party access rights. | API ecosystem and general Android catalog; weak VR focus. | Defer until a publisher-owned store and its API terms can be approved. No blanket community-store downloader. |
| [Amazon Appstore](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/app-submission/understanding-submission.html) | Official developer submissions; store account, device and license rules apply. Publisher submission APIs do not authorize public binary extraction. | Fire-device distribution; Android-device Appstore support ended in 2025; little Quest relevance. | Official product links only; no account or entitlement extraction. |
| [PICO / ByteDance store](https://developer.picoxr.com/document/distribute) | Official publisher channel with store/device entitlements. No public unauthenticated binary-download grant established; documentation request encountered a redirect error. | Strong standalone VR; PICO builds may depend on PICO services/extensions. | Store links only. A developer's independently published GitHub/itch build can qualify separately. |
| [Meta Horizon Store / former App Lab](https://www.meta.com/experiences/) | Official developer submissions. A free store entitlement is still an entitlement; no license bypass or authenticated store extraction. App Lab was folded into the main store in 2024. | Strongest Quest coverage; no supported anonymous APK-download API established. | Store links only; independently distributed free builds use their publisher source. |
| [Khronos samples](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenXR-SDK-Source) | Official upstream, Apache-2.0 sample; developer-published release APKs. GitHub API terms apply. | `hello_xr` Vulkan/OpenGL ES APKs; excellent OpenXR diagnostics. | Included in GitHub curated list, Vulkan variant selected. |
| [Meta OpenXR samples](https://github.com/meta-quest/Meta-OpenXR-SDK) | Official upstream; check each sample's license. Source availability does not imply a published APK, and some samples require Meta extensions/services. | Source/build examples, inconsistent ready-made APK releases. | Link to upstream; add specific free APKs only after release/provenance review. |
| [Godot XR demos](https://github.com/GodotVR/godot-xr-tools) | Official project source and publisher demo pages; licenses and dependencies vary by demo. | OpenXR examples on GitHub/itch. Older Godot builds can fail on Lepton's missing clipboard service. | Covered by source discovery; no compatibility promise from an OpenXR tag. |
The table distinguishes observed restrictions from unknown permission. An
unverified policy is a reason to defer automation, not a claim that a site is
unlawful. Only the two implemented source kinds are registered by their own
`sources()` functions; the other rows are recommendations, not new UI entries.
## Adapters
`ui/apk_sources/github.py` uses `github_curated.json`: Khronos `hello_xr`,
[Open Brush](https://github.com/icosa-foundation/open-brush), and
[SuperTux 3D](https://github.com/SgtBilko76/SuperTux-3D). These have official
OpenXR project/release evidence, not a blanket claim of headset compatibility.
Open Brush's compatibility evidence is recorded in [vr-apks.md](vr-apks.md).
Open Brush and SuperTux publish the selected builds as prereleases; curated
opt-ins preserve that label in version records. Exact APK filename patterns
avoid downloading desktop archives or alternate non-Quest builds.
[OpenSaberPlus](https://github.com/arpruss/OpenSaberPlus) was examined but not
curated: GitHub reports its license as `NOASSERTION`, and current OpenXR APK
provenance was not established in this pass.
Default GitHub search is offline against this small list. Queries
`topic:openxr`, `topic:oculus-quest`, and `topic:quest` explicitly call repository
search. Results outside the curated list stay page-only, even if a repository
claims an open-source license. This prevents an arbitrary tagged mirror from
becoming a trusted downloader. Extend the curated JSON after provenance review.
For a higher API quota, add a GitHub access token in the store's source
settings (the GitHub row's token field) or through the server API
(`POST /api/sources` with `action: "set-token"` or `"clear-token"` and
`source: "github"`). `FRAME_GITHUB_TOKEN` in the process environment still
works and wins over a saved token. A saved token is kept with repository
logins in `source-credentials.json` (mode 0600, see
[APK repositories](apk-repos.md#repositories-behind-a-login)). The source list
reports only whether a token is set, where it came from and whether GitHub
rejected it, never its value. Tokens are sent as `Authorization: Bearer` only to
`api.github.com`, never written to the cache, never sent to asset hosts (public
release downloads don't need them), and removed on redirects. If GitHub answers
401 to the token, the request is retried once without it, as Obtainium does.
The rejection is logged without the token and shown in source settings. The
token is not tried again until it is saved again or the app restarts. Rate-limit
backoff is kept per login (anonymous, or each token), so saving a token after
anonymous requests were limited lets the next request go out with it. The
adapter does not read `gh` credentials automatically. Metadata is cached for one hour under
`frame_host.cache_dir('apk-sources', 'publisher')`. A cold details request
fetches at most ten releases. Rate-limit errors are surfaced without retry
loops. Asset IDs and release tags are not Android version codes: metadata
leaves the latter unknown and rejects a requested `version_code` rather than
silently fetching a different build.
`itch.py` exposes separate OpenXR and Quest feed sources, so one feed's failure
does not suppress the other at the aggregator level. Queries filter the current
feed window locally: this is not an exhaustive historical itch search. Only
explicit zero-price Android entries are returned. Covers are exposed in
`images`; absent screenshots, APK version, ABI and minimum SDK stay unknown.
Curated GitHub entries include publisher artwork and plain-language summaries.
Repository image URLs are pinned to inspected commits. Open Brush screenshots
come from its README-linked Steam listing; SuperTux uses the upstream gameplay
preview embedded in the port's README (not a headset capture). The hello_xr
sample has a launcher icon and GitHub social banner; no published screenshot
was found in the inspected repository/README, so its screenshot list is empty.
Uncurated topic results use the owner's avatar and GitHub's repository social
preview. These are repository placeholders, not app screenshots. Itch's recorded
RSS includes only covers, so screenshot lists remain empty without page scraping. VR is
based on curated evidence or a VR-specific feed/topic, not a compatibility claim.
Downloads stream to unique temporary files, require an APK manifest entry,
restrict HTTPS origins and redirects, and enforce a 2 GiB ceiling. `verified`
means the downloaded SHA-256 matches GitHub's published digest. Without such a
digest, the computed SHA-256 is returned with `verified: False`; neither value
claims publisher-signature validation. Installation must inspect the APK as
usual. OBBs, split APKs, paid assets and external release-body download links
are unsupported.
## Evidence and limits
On this Mac, Python 3.9 downloaded the real Khronos Vulkan 1.1.63 APK through
the GitHub adapter, matched its published SHA-256
`f24bbe8ba6f6339fca658628868ba8189cbc33390d6ac508f69d76fb67b5fa34`, and
`python3 ui/frame_android.py info <apk>` exited 0: package
`org.khronos.openxr.hello_xr.vulkan`, version code 1063, minimum API 24,
arm64-v8a present, OpenXR detected. No Frame connection or installation occurred.
The itch OpenXR RSS was fetched successfully and recorded as a fixture.
Subsequent live adapter search encountered HTTP 429; it is not claimed as a
successful live end-to-end search. Fixture search finds Off Nominal and parses
nine Android entries from the ten-item feed (one has only an HTML platform).
A real itch download and APK inspection were deliberately not performed:
robots restrictions take precedence over that requested proof. No current
policy text is claimed verified where the table records failed access.
Tests use recorded, reduced API/RSS fixtures with network access blocked in
the new test class. They cover selection, prereleases, unknown topic results,
paid/non-Android exclusion, URL restrictions, redirect credential removal,
caching, rate limits, checksum mismatch, non-APK rejection and partial-file
cleanup. See `.claude/NOTES-more-sources.md` for commands and local evidence.

## Store and Library in Frame Control
The Android tab has two views. **Store** finds apps across the sources (F-Droid,
IzzyOnDroid, curated GitHub releases, itch.io). **Library** shows the apps on the
Frame as cards, with Play and a menu for Test, Report and Remove; the display
settings and recent reports are below it.
Store search cards and app details also show **Reported not working** or
**Reported issues** when saved compatibility reports say so. Details include
the report date, version and notes. These are advisories: Install remains
available unless the selected build has an existing compatibility blocker
(for example, no arm64-v8a build or Android API above 30). Reports never clear
those blockers. Apps reported not working are excluded from Home's featured
app and recommendation shelves; search and category results still show them.
An unrated install failure caused by the wrong APK architecture or Android API
is ignored, using the same rules as the catalogue. A person's rating takes
priority over automated results, with the latest rating winning.
Reports warm in a background worker at server start. Search and details read
only the last complete in-memory snapshot and schedule a single background
refresh after 60 seconds; they never wait for disk, Keychain, a subprocess or
the report database. During initial loading they show the usual build verdict;
after a refresh, the next search or detail request sees the reports. Failed
refreshes keep the previous snapshot and retry after another 60 seconds.
**Availability:** public copies benefit from their own saved reports, including
reports for apps outside the bundled catalogue, across every source with the
same package name. This does not give public users the private shared ratings.
The checked-in `apk-catalog/site/apps.js` contains predictions and no tested
report verdicts, so it cannot supply a useful public report snapshot. No private
reports, free-text notes or credentials are exported or published. The existing
maintainer loader still uses its configured database access in the background;
the search feature adds no sharing, endpoint or network destination. Tests leave
the hook off by default (`FRAME_COMPAT_SEARCH_REPORTS=0` also disables it in
server subprocesses) and use synthetic reports to exercise refresh behavior.
The store groups apps by what a headset is good for, not by F-Droid's list:
VR, Games, Emulators, Watch & listen, Read & learn, Create, Work, Web & chat
and Tools (`ui/apk_sources/_categories.py`). A VR app is always in VR. Otherwise
F-Droid's own categories decide, the finer one first (an app in *Multimedia* and
*Social Network* is Web & chat).
Apps built around a phone are hidden from browsing unless **Show phone-only
apps** is on; a search always finds them, labelled *Phone app*. Hidden: apps in
a category that only makes sense in a phone's own system (launchers, keyboards,
wallpapers, Xposed modules), apps in a phone-side category (calls and SMS, VPNs,
fitness, alarms, system tools) unless a useful category says otherwise
(FluffyChat is in Phone & SMS, but it's a messenger), apps named for a phone
part (a widget, a launcher, a battery tool), and apps that need hardware the
Frame lacks (an IR blaster, a watch, NFC, root). They would install and run in
Lepton, but do nothing useful on the Frame. In the October 2026 indexes that is
about 1,600 of F-Droid's 4,500 apps and 550 of IzzyOnDroid's 1,300.
Without a search, each source offers its best 300 for the chosen category:
apps with a banner first, then with screenshots, then the newest.
## The store in the headset: Frame Control's store as a panel (inferred, not yet run on the Frame)
The **APK Store** panel is the Store above, drawn for the laser: the same
sources, categories and artwork, with Install, Open, Stop and Remove, opened as
its own floating panel:
```sh
scripts/store-on-frame.sh open # copy the server over if it changed, start it, open the panel
scripts/store-on-frame.sh close
```
`open` copies the same bundle the iPhone app uses
(`ios/scripts/make_frame_bundle.py`) to
`~/.local/share/frame-control/store-server/<version>` on the Frame. It then
starts `ui/server.py` there with `FRAME_LOCAL=1` on `127.0.0.1:47812`, with a
fresh `X-Frame-UI` key. Chromium XR (or the `org.chromium.Chromium` Flatpak)
opens `/store` (`ui/store.html`) in a 1280×800 app window, tagged as panel
`2001947812` ([panels.md](panels.md)). Downloads, SHA-256 checks and installs
all run on the Frame, so the Mac can go away after `open`.
The page has a category rail (Home, the store's categories, Installed), eight
art cards a page, and a featured VR app on Home. It turns pages instead of
scrolling, because a tagged panel gets mouse clicks and a drag would select
text; the thumbstick (a mouse wheel) turns pages, and an on-screen keyboard is
there for search. **Checked on the Mac only** (2026-10-14, 1280×800, against
the real sources): Home, categories, Installed, the detail sheet. **Still to
check in the headset:** that the panel opens and takes laser clicks, that an
install completes when run on the Frame, and that **Open** brings up the app's
panel.

## Expansion files and save backups
SideQuest-inspired CLI helpers install local OBB files into an already-running
app instance and back up/restore a stopped instance's private app data. See
[SideQuest features and limits](sidequest.md) for commands, archive scope and
verification status. These paths have offline coverage; real Frame storage and
permissions remain unverified. They do not change APK install or launch behavior.
## Local APK/OBB backups and Android bundles
In **Android apps → Import Android game → Choose game files…** (or **Send to Frame**), choose one
base APK, any supported splits, and its matching `main.<version>.<package>.obb` and/or
`patch.<version>.<package>.obb` files together. The desktop app also discovers
matching OBB files beside a lone selected APK. Browser uploads use only the
files you selected. Installed apps can receive OBB-only imports.
You can instead select **one `.xapk`, `.apks`, or `.apkm` archive** containing
one base APK, optional supported splits and matching OBBs. These extensions describe
containers, not a guarantee that their contents are supported. OBBs may be
at the archive root, under `<package>/`, or under `Android/obb/<package>/`;
one enclosing backup folder is allowed. Known manifest/icon/signature
sidecars are ignored; the APK manifest determines the package. Unknown files,
unsafe paths, links, encrypted entries, duplicate paths (including case
collisions), more than 4,096 entries, or more than 16 GiB unpacked are refused.
Staging also keeps 64 MiB of free disk space. Payloads still have the regular
100-file/99-OBB limit. Ordinary `.zip` files keep the PC-title import route;
extract an Android ZIP yourself and select its APK/OBBs.
The importer previews the app and files before **Import game & data**.
Confirming authorizes installing the app, starting it to prepare Android,
checking the running package/version, copying OBBs through the existing
verified data helper, and closing the game. Open it from Steam afterwards.
If setup fails, read the error and retry the same backup; do not uninstall
first, since that deletes saves. An app that cannot start may also prevent
data setup. Uploaded and extracted staging is removed on cancellation,
inspection failure, or job completion/failure; abandoned imports expire
through the existing one-hour staging lifecycle. Original local files stay intact.
**Limits:** this backup importer requires exactly one base APK. For split sets,
each split must identify the same package and version, and pass the existing
[Quest split merger](quest-import.md#split-apks). It refuses resource, code and
feature splits and does not choose among device variants. Merging re-signs the
APK, which can affect licences. It does not restore `Android/data`, private app
data, saves or entitlements. These split imports have local fixture and merger
tests, but no real split game has been installed with this backup route on the
Frame.
For issue #102, the RE4 report only establishes that an APK attempt failed.
Missing OBBs are a hypothesis; the edition/build, exact files, failing step,
and runtime compatibility remain unknown. Record those details, Frame Control
and SteamOS versions, and sanitized server/crash errors before diagnosing it.
`python3 ui/frame_android.py info /path/to/game.apk` inspects the APK locally.
Successful installation or fixture tests do not establish RE4 compatibility;
OBBs cannot fix ABI/API, VrApi/OpenXR, entitlement or Android-service failures.

# Backup and recovery
**Tools → Backup & recovery** copies what a factory reset would lose from the
Steam Frame to your computer, puts it back afterwards, and gets the headset out
of Desktop Mode. It runs from Frame Control on a computer, not from the iPhone
app or the Frame itself.
**Partly tested on a headset.** On a Frame running SteamOS 0.5.6 (build
20261015.6141207), a full backup saved 26 parts (40.7 MB): 14 games' Proton
saves, Linux game saves, Steam and desktop settings and 9 Android apps' data,
with no sign-in files or keys in the archives. Restoring one game's saves on top
of identical files wrote nothing and left nothing behind. The session check
reported Game Mode, so **Return to Game Mode** changed nothing. Not tested on a
headset: a restore after a real factory reset, a restore that replaces files,
Android data restore. Unit tests and the fake Frame cover those (see
[Verification](#verification)).
On 2026-10-24, the real-device reproduction in [issue #142](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/issues/142)
confirmed full Plasma Desktop Mode on the same build: the Plasma session target
was active and the Game Mode target inactive. Desktop Mode also ran gamescope
for `steamvr-plasma.service`, so the old process check incorrectly reported
Game Mode. SteamOS's `steamosctl switch-to-game-mode` restored Game Mode and
reversed the target states; battery stayed at 99%, and the rollback timer and
shared lock were cleaned up. After #143 passed CI, the corrected code was
tested in another full Plasma session under a three-minute rollback timer.
`ui/frame_backup.py session` reported Desktop Mode despite gamescope, and
`ui/frame_backup.py game-mode` invoked the same guarded Return function used by
the button. Game Mode became active and a second call made no switch. Battery
remained at 99%; the timer and lock were removed. That test used the production
CLI rather than clicking the desktop button.
Later on 2026-10-24, the published **v0.4.17 Linux x86_64 AppImage** passed the
literal packaged-button check on the same Frame/build. With the shared lock and
a verified three-minute rollback timer, the headset entered full Plasma Desktop
Mode. In the packaged Electron window, **Tools → Backup & recovery → Check**
reported Desktop Mode despite gamescope. A trusted automated pointer click on
the visible **Return to Game Mode** button, accepting its confirmation, returned
`switched: true` and `steamosctl switch-to-game-mode`. The systemd targets then
confirmed Game Mode. A second confirmed button click returned `switched: false`;
the Game Mode service invocation and SteamVR PID stayed unchanged. **Check**
then reported Game Mode and disabled Return. The test app/server and virtual
display were stopped; the timer and shared lock were removed. Steam and SteamVR remained running
at 99% battery. [Commands, responses, cleanup and limits](evidence/return-game-mode-packaged-2026-10-24.json),
[before](evidence/return-game-mode-packaged-2026-10-24-before.png) and
[after](evidence/return-game-mode-packaged-2026-10-24-after.png).
This used the unchanged extracted AppImage payload with its bundled Python on
Xvfb (`--no-sandbox --disable-gpu`), following the packaged Export test in #156.
FUSE mounting, desktop integration, hardware rendering and the view inside a
worn headset were not checked. Older SteamOS builds remain fixture-tested.
## Back up
Choose **Game saves**, **Steam and desktop settings** and **Android app data**
(all three by default), then **Back up now**. **See what's included** lists each
part and its size first. Backing up only reads the headset.
Each backup is a folder named after the time it started:
```
~/Documents/Frame Control Backups/2026-10-23-142530/
manifest.json
saves/saves-1234.tar.gz one per game
saves/saves-linux.tar.gz
settings/settings-steam.tar.gz
settings/settings-system.tar.gz
android/org.example.game.tar.gz one per Android app
```
`manifest.json` records the headset's name, SteamOS version and BUILD_ID, every
file with its size and SHA-256, and each archive's SHA-256. It also lists what
was skipped and why. A backup is written under a hidden `.…partial` name and
renamed when complete, so a cut-off backup never shows up as one.
### What's saved
| Part | From the headset (`~` is `/home/steamos`) | Restored? |
|---|---|---|
| Windows game saves | `~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/<appid>/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/` → `AppData/Roaming`, `AppData/Local`, `AppData/LocalLow`, `Documents`, `Saved Games`. Wine's own folders in them (`Temp`, `Microsoft`, `D3DSCache`, `CrashDumps`) are left out. Sideloaded Windows games (non-Steam shortcuts) have prefixes here too | Yes |
| Linux game saves | `~/.config/unity3d`, `~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata`: where Unity and Godot games save by default | Yes |
| Steam controller layouts | `userdata/<account>/241100/remote/controller_config`, `steamapps/common/Steam Controller Configs/<account>/config` | Yes |
| Steam library settings | `userdata/<account>/config/localconfig.vdf`, `shortcuts.vdf`, `grid/` (custom artwork) | Kept for reference |
| Desktop settings | `~/.config/kdeglobals`, `kwinrc`, `kxkbrc` (keyboard layout), `konsolerc`, `dolphinrc` | Yes |
| SteamVR settings | `~/.config/openvr/config/steamvr.vrsettings` | Kept for reference |
| Android app data | Each Frame Control Android app's private data, through the existing `backup-data` helper ([sidequest.md](sidequest.md#private-app-data-backups)) | Yes |
"Kept for reference" files are in the backup but not put back automatically:
Steam and SteamVR rewrite them while they run, and an old `shortcuts.vdf` would
point at apps that aren't installed after a reset. Open the backup folder to
copy one by hand if you need it.
### What's never copied
- **Steam sign-in:** `steam.token`, `config/config.vdf`, `loginusers.vdf`,
`registry.vdf` and `ssfn*` files.
- **Keys and passwords:** `~/.ssh`, `~/.gnupg`, keyrings and KWallet, any
`*.token`, `*.key` or `*.pem` file, Tailscale state and proxy settings
(`secrets.env`). These are refused by name wherever they turn up, including
inside a game's folder, and a restore refuses them too.
- Games, Proton and the Steam runtimes: reinstall them from Steam.
- Steam Cloud's own folders (`userdata/<account>/<appid>`), shader caches and
screenshots (**Tools → Capture & Live** saves those to Pictures).
- Android apps themselves, their OBB files and shared storage (`/sdcard`).
- Symbolic links, including any ancestor below the home folder of a selected
save or settings path, and single files over 2 GiB. Discovery checks each
component, and packing checks it again before opening each file.
Steam backups use the normal `~/.local/share/Steam` directory tree. A separate
`~/.steam/steam` alias does not affect this route. A library, Proton prefix or
Wine save folder redirected by a symlink below the home folder is skipped,
even if its target is inside home; it is not resolved and backed up elsewhere.
The home folder itself is trusted and may use the host's normal path aliases.
These are path checks, not a filesystem snapshot: a concurrent rename or link
replacement between a check and a read can still race it. Close games and
avoid moving or relinking these folders during backup. This fix rejects links
already present when checked, including ones introduced after discovery; it
does not provide atomic protection against concurrent filesystem changes.
Backups aren't encrypted. Game folders can still hold a launcher's login, and
Android app data can hold an app's, so keep backups private.
Android apps that are open are skipped (the helper needs the app closed); close
them and back up again.
## Restore after a factory reset
1. Set up the headset again: Developer Mode, **Set Up Connection**, sign in to
Steam with the same account.
2. Reinstall your games, and **start each once** so Proton creates its folders.
3. Reinstall your Android apps from Frame Control.
4. **Tools → Backup & recovery → Restore…** on a backup. Frame Control checks
each part against the headset and says what it would do: how many files it
replaces and how many are new.
5. Tick the parts to restore and **Restore selected**. It asks before replacing
anything.
Parts that can't go back yet are skipped, not failed, with the reason:
| Reason | What to do |
|---|---|
| Install the game first | Install it from Steam, then restore |
| Start the game once | Proton hasn't made its folders yet; start the game, quit, restore |
| Sign in to Steam first | Controller layouts go under your account's folder |
| Install the app first / close the app first | Android app data needs the app installed and closed |
| The backup file doesn't match its checksum | The archive changed since it was made |
A restore writes only the files in the parts you chose, and only inside that
part's folders: it never deletes a file, and a save archive can't write outside
its game. Before replacing a file it copies the current one to
`~/.local/share/frame-control/restore-previous/<time>/` on the headset. Files
already identical are left alone. Android app data goes through the existing
`restore-data` helper, which keeps the previous data folder beside it.
## Stuck in Desktop Mode
On the Frame, Game Mode is gamescope running Steam, and the Linux desktop
normally runs *inside* it as one panel (`steamos-nested-desktop`, see
[how-the-frame-works.md](how-the-frame-works.md#the-layer-cake)). If that panel
is what you see, you're already in Game Mode: close it from the Steam dashboard.
Full Desktop Mode is a different session. **Check** reads the main user's
systemd session targets over SSH: `gamescope-session.target` and
`plasma-workspace-wayland.target`. Game Mode requires the former active and the
latter inactive; Desktop Mode requires the reverse. This takes precedence over
process names: full Desktop Mode can run gamescope for its VR overlay, and
Game Mode can run a nested Plasma panel. Check changes nothing.
Conflicting, transitional, failed or unreadable targets produce **unknown**.
On older images where both targets are explicitly absent, the fallback accepts
only gamescope without Plasma/nested desktop as Game Mode, or Plasma without
gamescope/nested desktop as Desktop Mode. Mixed processes remain unknown.
The SDDM autologin file is still reported as a login preference; it cannot
establish which session is running.
After confirmation, **Return to Game Mode** runs exactly
`steamosctl switch-to-game-mode` when available, or the older
`holo-session-select gamescope` / `steamos-session-select gamescope` command.
It closes the desktop and anything open in it. Frame Control never edits the
SDDM files itself, and runs no switch when the headset is in Game Mode, when
its mode is unknown, or when no supported switch command is installed. A
refused command reports an error; a request being sent does not verify that
the new session has started.
### Manual fallback
If the button can't help, or the headset isn't reachable:
1. **Restart it:** hold Power about 10 seconds until the light goes off, then
power on. On the Steam Deck, **Switch to Desktop** starts a one-shot
Desktop Mode session, so a restart brings Game Mode back. That the Frame
behaves the same is **inferred**, not tested.
2. **Over SSH** (Developer Mode on), run Valve's switch yourself:
`ssh frame steamosctl switch-to-game-mode` (verified on SteamOS 0.5.6).
Older images may instead provide `steamos-session-select gamescope` or
`holo-session-select gamescope`.
3. **Boot menu:** hold Power 10 seconds, then power on while holding the AUX
button on top of Power. Choose `Current`, or `Previous` to start the other
SteamOS slot; both keep your data. Details and the further options
(`Repair Steam Installation`, `Erase User Data`, a full re-image) are in
[how-the-frame-works.md](how-the-frame-works.md#facts-worth-knowing) and
[recovery-and-images.md](recovery-and-images.md). Back up first if you can:
`Erase User Data` is a factory reset.
## Verification
`tests/test_backup.py` runs the headset-side script (`ui/frame_backup_remote.py`)
for real against a folder laid out like the Frame's home, with only SSH faked:
which paths are picked, that sign-in files and keys never are (also inside game
folders), links in save/settings roots and their ancestors refused, the manifest
and its checksums, restore checks
after a reset (game not installed, no Proton folders yet, not signed in), that a
restore replaces only its own files and keeps the old ones, unsafe archives
(`..`, absolute paths, links, other games' folders) writing nothing, backup
names that try to leave the backups folder, and the exact Game Mode command.
Synthetic symlink fixtures cover every component of a Proton save root below
home, including `compatdata/<appid>` and `steamuser/AppData`, plus directory
and file links introduced between discovery and packing. Ordinary Proton and
non-Steam saves, Linux saves, controller layouts, reference settings and home
aliases still pack with their original bytes. These are local fixture checks;
this path fix has not been tested on a headset.
`tests/e2e/test_recovery_kit.py` backs up a Proton save from the fake Frame through
the server, deletes it and restores it. Neither involves a real headset.
Isolated session tests in the same suite reproduce full Plasma plus gamescope,
Game Mode with and without the nested desktop, conflicting/transitional targets,
missing targets on older builds, failed/timed-out systemd reads, selector
compatibility, and the confirmed Return action with SSH mocked. Run them with
`python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p test_backup.py -v`.

# Battery and health monitoring
Open **Control Center → Battery & thermal health**, or expand **System
information**, to read the Frame's charge, charging state, signed battery
power, battery temperature and driver-reported health. Optional readings show
charge cycles, full charge capacity, design capacity and full / design capacity.
The existing battery chip also shows charging state and temperature.
These are read-only readings from the Linux host's `/sys/class/power_supply`,
not Android's container battery view. The probe prefers the documented Frame
fuel gauge, `max1720x_bat_7-36`, over other battery nodes, excludes peripheral
(`scope=Device`) and absent batteries, and otherwise uses a deterministic
battery fallback. The UI shows the selected source path.
| Reading | Linux attribute | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Charge | `capacity` | Integer 0–100 percent; zero is a real reading |
| Charging state | `status` | Charging, Full, Discharging or Not charging; missing/unknown states stay unavailable |
| Battery power | `voltage_now × current_now` | Microvolts and microamps converted to signed watts; positive means charging on the Frame |
| Temperature | `temp` | Tenths of a degree Celsius, including valid negative readings |
| Battery health | `health` | Driver status such as Good or Overheat; not a wear percentage |
| Charge cycles | `cycle_count` | Driver-reported count, including zero |
| Full/design capacity | `charge_full`, `charge_full_design` | Microamp-hours converted to mAh |
| Full / design capacity | Ratio of those two capacities | Fuel-gauge estimate; not a diagnosis or a guaranteed runtime |
| Time estimate | `time_to_full_now`, `time_to_empty_now` | Seconds; displayed only for the corresponding charging/discharging state |
Unavailable means the field is absent, unreadable or invalid. One missing
sensor does not hide the others. Zero design capacity cannot produce a ratio. Time estimates outside 1 second
to 7 days and battery temperatures outside −273.15 to 200 °C are rejected
as invalid readings; these bounds are not thermal warning thresholds.
The ratio may exceed 100% because full capacity is a gauge estimate, so the app
does not clamp it or invent a wear warning. The app does not estimate health
from charge percentage or assign temperature thresholds. Existing thermal
alerts use the kernel's own hot/critical trip points.
A connected charger does not necessarily mean charging: the Frame can still
drain under load or sit idle near full charge. A 100% capacity reading alone
does not prove the driver reports Full. Missing status is explicitly unknown;
near-zero measured battery power with a charger is shown as not charging.
Failed, stale or disconnected status samples clear Control Center readings.
**No charge controls are provided.** Frame's SteamOS charge-limit backend is
unsupported; see [charge-limit research](charge-limit.md). Monitoring never
writes to power supplies, pauses charging, changes current or sets a limit.
## Verification
`tests/test_battery.py` uses temporary sysfs-like files for conversion,
malformed/missing values, permission failures, source selection and partial
sensor support. `tests/control_center.cjs` exercises charging states, optional
metrics and failed/stale/disconnected sample handling. These tests do not
connect to a headset. On 2026-10-24, the PR's uninstalled parser was also
piped over SSH to a real Frame running SteamOS 0.5.6 (build
`20261015.6141207`). Its read-only sysfs result selected
`max1720x_bat_7-36` and reported 99% charge, Not charging, 24.9 °C,
Good driver health, 14 cycles, 2,920 mAh full and 2,700 mAh design capacity
(108.1% fuel-gauge estimate). The Control Center UI was not run against this
headset; Windows and macOS were not tested. Optional fields are not claimed to
be available on every firmware build.

## Unreleased
- Battery monitoring now selects the Frame fuel gauge predictably, handles
missing or invalid readings, and shows optional cycle count, full/design
capacity and estimated capacity health in Control Center. Unknown charging
status stays explicit. Monitoring is read-only; charge limits remain
unsupported on Frame. The read-only parser was checked on a real Frame; the UI was not.

# Battery charge limit (80%): research
**Question:** can Frame Control set an 80% battery charge limit on the Frame
over SSH or adb, safely?
**Verdict: don't build it.** Valve's supported mechanism (the one Steam's own
charge-limit setting uses on the Deck) is not configured for the Frame. The
only control the Frame has is a vendor charger attribute that Valve's own
charging daemon also manages. Research as of 2026-10-23, confirmed with the
read-only checks below on a Frame running SteamOS 0.5.6 (build 20261015.6141207):
Rechecked read-only on build `20261022.6153909` on 2026-10-25: the
`BatteryChargeLimit1` interface still returned `UnknownInterface`, no
`charge_control_*` sysfs attribute existed, and the vendor charging switches
were root-owned mode `644`. See [Round 3 headset evidence](evidence/round3-headset-2026-10-25.md).
- `steamosctl get-max-charge-level` fails with `UnknownInterface: ...BatteryChargeLimit1`.
- `/usr/share/steamos-manager/devices/` has `[battery_charge_limit]` only for
the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, ROG Xbox Ally and MSI Claw, not the Frame.
- Power supplies: `max1720x_bat_7-36` (Battery, driver `max1720x`),
`pm8550b-charger` (driver `qcom,pm8550b-charger`) and the USB-C `tcpm-source-psy-…`.
No `charge_control_end_threshold` anywhere; `pm8550b-charger` has
`charging_enable` and `charging_pause`, both `root`-only (`-rw-r--r--`).
- `deckard-charger.service` (Deckard Battery Charger service) is enabled and running.
For safe read-only readings in Control Center, see [battery and health
monitoring](battery-health.md). It does not provide charging controls.
## How Steam does it on other devices
- Steam's **Settings → Power → Battery Charge Limit** shipped to the Deck in
SteamOS 3.7.8 (beta client 2025-05-08)
([GamingOnLinux](https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/05/steamos-3-7-7-beta-brings-a-battery-charge-limit-option-and-improved-lenovo-legion-go-s-support/)).
- Steam calls SteamOS Manager on the session bus:
`com.steampowered.SteamOSManager1.BatteryChargeLimit1`, with properties
`MaxChargeLevel` (`i`, read/write; `-1` resets to the default) and
`SuggestedMinimumLimit` (`i`, read-only). The CLI is
`steamosctl get-max-charge-level` / `set-max-charge-level` /
`suggested-minimum-charge-limit`. Source: `data/interfaces/com.steampowered.SteamOSManager1.xml`
and `steamos-manager/src/bin/steamosctl.rs` in
[holo/steamos-manager](https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/holo/steamos-manager),
read at commit `83981ab` (2026-10-21).
- The root daemon writes the value to sysfs only if the device's TOML in
`data/devices/` has a `[battery_charge_limit]` section. Two methods exist
(`steamos-manager/src/power.rs`, `BatteryChargeLimitMethod`):
- `hwmon_attribute`: the Deck writes `max_battery_charge_level` on
`steamdeck_hwmon` (`data/devices/steam-deck.toml`).
- `acpi_sb`: ROG Ally, MSI Claw and others write the standard
`charge_control_end_threshold` on the ACPI battery
(`/sys/bus/{platform,acpi}/drivers/…battery…/PNP0C0A:00/…/power_supply/*/`).
On ARM there's no ACPI, so this path can't match there either.
- With no `[battery_charge_limit]` section, the interface fails with
`UnknownInterface` (Steam can still show its toggle on unsupported hardware:
[steam-for-linux#12044](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/12044)).
## What the Frame has
- **Upstream `data/devices/steam-frame.toml`** (matched by
`dt.compatible = "qcom,sm8650"`, variant `Deckard`) configures GPU clocks
and performance profiles only. It has **no `[battery_charge_limit]`**, so
SteamOS Manager on the Frame has no charge-limit backend. Its git history
(2026-09-10 to 2026-10-12) never added one.
- **Battery driver:** the Frame's battery is
`/sys/class/power_supply/max1720x_bat_7-36`, and the charger is a
`tcpm-source-psy-…` USB-PD supply ([how-the-frame-works.md](how-the-frame-works.md)).
Both were verified 2026-09-25, and `ui/frame_status.py` `battery()` and
`power_source()` read them. The Maxim MAX1720x is a **fuel gauge** and
can't control charging. Mainline `drivers/power/supply/max1720x_battery.c`
exposes only read-only properties (capacity, voltage, current, temp,
charge_full…), with no `charge_control_end_threshold`. Valve's build is
patched: it reports `time_to_full_now`, which mainline doesn't have. Even
so, a charge stop would have to come from the separate charger IC, not this
node.
- **Not the qcom_battmgr path.** Some other SM8650/SM8750 handhelds get
`charge_control_end_threshold` from Qualcomm's `qcom_battmgr`
(pmic_glink) driver, clamped at 55% or above. A third-party distro enabled
Steam's limit on those by patching steamos-manager
([armada-os/armada#758](https://github.com/armada-os/armada/pull/758)). The
Frame's battery isn't exposed by `qcom_battmgr`, so that doesn't carry over.
(Unverified: whether a `qcom_battmgr` node also exists on the Frame. The
read-only checks below answer this.)
- **What third parties found:**
[y0usaf/frame-charge](https://github.com/y0usaf/frame-charge) reports that
the Frame has no `charge_control_end_threshold` and falls back to a vendor
`charging_pause` attribute. It also reports that `constant_charge_current`
changes on its own, which it attributes to Valve's `deckard_charge_daemon`
(`deckard-charger.service`). By its own README, that tool has only run its
read-only `status` on a Frame and has **not** been tested against real
charging. Two questions are still open: whether pausing stops the current,
and whether Valve's daemon undoes it.
## Why not build it now
- **No supported endpoint.** The only Valve-supported interface,
`BatteryChargeLimit1`, isn't backed on the Frame. Writing sysfs ourselves
would bypass Steam and SteamOS Manager, and it needs root (`sudo -S` with
the user's password).
- **A rival owner.** Valve's charge daemon already adjusts charging
parameters. Toggling `charging_pause` underneath it could be undone without
warning, fight it in a loop, or leave charging paused.
- **Stuck at a low charge.** If the app or the Frame dies while charging is
paused, the Frame could sit at a low charge on the charger. Whether a
reboot clears `charging_pause` is unknown.
- **The UI would mislead.** Steam's setting (if it shows at all) wouldn't
reflect our limit.
- **adb doesn't help.** Wi-Fi adb (`frame:5555`) reaches the Lepton Android
container only. USB-C adb reaches the Linux side as `steamos` (non-root, the
same as SSH, [ssh.md](ssh.md)). Neither adds a charging-control route.
Android's `dumpsys battery` in Lepton is a container view, not the hardware.
**Revisit when** a SteamOS update adds `[battery_charge_limit]` to
`steam-frame.toml` (or `steamosctl get-max-charge-level` stops returning
`UnknownInterface` on the Frame). Then the feature is just a SteamOS Manager
call:
- Read: `steamosctl get-max-charge-level`
- Set: `steamosctl set-max-charge-level 80`
- Undo: `steamosctl set-max-charge-level -- -1`
That runs as `steamos` with no sudo. It's the same value Steam's own
Settings → Power shows, so both stay in sync.
## Headset checks (read-only first)
Run these over SSH as `steamos`. Steps 1–4 only read.
```sh
# 1. Does SteamOS Manager offer the interface on this build?
steamosctl get-max-charge-level; steamosctl suggested-minimum-charge-limit
busctl --user introspect com.steampowered.SteamOSManager1 \
/com/steampowered/SteamOSManager1 | grep -i -A3 ChargeLimit
grep -n battery_charge_limit /usr/share/steamos-manager/devices/*frame* 2>/dev/null
# 2. Which power supplies exist, and which drivers back them?
for d in /sys/class/power_supply/*; do
echo "== $d ($(cat $d/type)) driver=$(basename "$(readlink -f $d/device/driver)" 2>/dev/null)"
ls $d
done
# 3. Any charge-control attributes, with their values and permissions?
ls -l /sys/class/power_supply/*/{charge_control_*,charging_pause,charging_enable,constant_charge_current*,charge_behaviour} 2>/dev/null
grep -H . /sys/class/power_supply/*/{charge_control_*,charging_pause,charging_enable,constant_charge_current*,charge_behaviour} 2>/dev/null
# 4. What is Valve's charger daemon, and what does it touch?
systemctl status deckard-charger.service --no-pager
systemctl cat deckard-charger.service
journalctl -b -u deckard-charger.service --no-pager | tail -50
```
If step 1 succeeds on some build, test `steamosctl set-max-charge-level 80`
on a charger at a charge above 80%. Watch `current_now` on the
`max1720x_bat_*` node fall to about 0, then `steamosctl set-max-charge-level -- -1` and
confirm charging resumes. Do this on a supervised Frame only. If only step 3
finds a vendor attribute, **stop**: don't write it, and leave the question
with Valve.

# Connection and streaming lag FAQ
## Does Frame Control lower my streaming lag?
No. Frame Control uses SSH to manage the Frame. SteamVR or Steam Link sends the
game stream. Frame Control does not carry the game stream. It cannot lower your
game-stream ping or fix a stream that stops on the PC. A 40–75 ms ping in a VR
game is not a Frame Control measurement.
You do **not** need the Steam Wireless Adapter to use Frame Control. The app can
connect over Wi-Fi, the Wireless Adapter, or USB if the computer has an SSH
route to the Frame. Use the route that lets the app connect. To improve game
streaming, check the SteamVR or Steam Link connection on the PC and the Frame.
The [wired connection doctor](wired-connection.md) checks only Frame Control's
SSH route. A successful doctor check does not prove that the game stream uses
the cable or has low lag.
## Can I use a USB-A-to-C cable?
A Mac reached the Frame over a USB-C connection on the
`10.86.200.232/29` USB network. That test used a USB-C host port. We have
**not tested a USB-A-to-C cable** with the Frame. A data-capable USB-A-to-C
cable might show a USB network interface on your PC, but this is unknown on
the tested Frame OS and PC hosts. Check whether your PC shows that interface
and whether Frame Control's wired doctor can reach the Frame at
`10.86.200.233`. A charge-only cable cannot carry USB data. You can use Wi-Fi
for Frame Control if the USB route does not work.
## 日本語: 5 ステップで接続
1. [公式リリース](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/releases/latest)から PC の OS 用ファイルをダウンロードします。Windows は `.exe`、macOS は `.dmg`、Linux は `.AppImage` または `.deb` です。同じリリースの `SHA256SUMS` でファイルを確認してください。
2. PC に Frame Control をインストールして起動します。Windows はスタートメニュー、macOS はアプリケーション、Linux はアプリ一覧から開きます。AppImage の場合は実行権限を付けて開きます。
3. Frame の Steam 設定 → システムで開発者モードを有効にし、開発者設定でユーザーパスワードを設定します。Frame と PC を同じ信頼できるネットワークに接続し、Frame を起こしておきます。
4. PC の Frame Control で **Set Up Connection…** を選びます。Frame が見つからない場合は、Frame の設定で IP アドレスを確認して入力します。macOS では **Devices & connection → + Add a headset…** からアドレスを設定できます。
5. Frame に **Pair new host** が出たら、自分が開始した要求だけを承認します。ペアリングに失敗した場合は、PC のターミナルで開発者モードのパスワードを入力します。接続後、Frame Control に戻って状態を確認します。
Frame Control は管理用の SSH 接続を使います。ゲーム映像は SteamVR / Steam Link が送ります。Frame Control を入れてもゲームの ping は下がりません。無線アダプターは必須ではありません。USB-A-to-C ケーブルで Frame の USB ネットワークが使えるかは、まだ確認できていません。

# What we have tested
Current for Frame Control **v0.4.39**, 26 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.

# Decky Loader on Steam Frame
For the modding-path survey, licence review and update limits, see
[plugin and modding research](plugins-research.md).
**Status, 2026-10-25:** Decky Loader 3.3.0's ARM64 backend starts on Frame OS
0.5.6 and injects into Steam's shared CEF context. Its Decky tab registers in
JavaScript. A usable plugin menu in the Frame's VR shell has **not** been
verified. Frame Control therefore labels its user-service manager experimental.
ProtonDB Badges loaded in the backend and Gamepad UI plugin registry, but its
VR user interface has not been seen or used.
## Official store plugin audit, 2026-10-25
On a real Frame with Frame OS 0.5.6 build `20261022.6153909`, SteamVR 2.18.2
reported `activity_level` 3 (standby). The battery was 99% before and after.
The test downloaded the official store's current archives, checked each SHA-256
against store metadata, and inspected their manifests and binaries. For seven
non-root candidates, the removable user-service loader started each plugin in
turn. It stopped between plugins. Logs showed `Loaded <name>` for all seven.
The service and test folders were removed after the run; the owned shared lock
was released. **A load message is not proof that a plugin's page, settings, or
action works in VR.** No plugin was tried by a wearer.
| Official store plugin (tested version) | Result | Evidence and limit |
| --- | --- | --- |
| ProtonDB Badges 1.3.4 | Partial | ARM64 backend loaded. Earlier 1.1.0 also registered in the shared Gamepad UI; badges in the VR shell were not seen. |
| CSS Loader 2.1.3 | Partial | Backend loaded; one `SyntaxWarning`. Theme controls and CSS application in VR were not checked. |
| SteamGridDB 1.8.1 | Partial | Backend loaded. Artwork selection and its UI were not checked. |
| Animation Changer 1.3.2 | Partial | Backend loaded. Boot animation replacement was not attempted. |
| Storage Cleaner 1.4.0 | Partial | Backend loaded. No files were cleaned; no UI check. |
| HLTB for Deck 2.0.12 | Partial | Passive plugin loaded. Game page content in VR was not checked. |
| Bluetooth 3.1.1 | Partial | Backend logged `Bluetooth plugin loaded`. Pairing and VR controls were not checked. |
| PowerTools 2.0.3 | Not applicable | Manifest asks for root; archive includes x86_64 Ryzen binaries and targets Steam Deck hardware. The Frame user service blocks it. |
| Audio Loader 1.6.1 | Not applicable | Manifest asks for `_root`; the Frame user service blocks it. |
| Wine Cellar 0.2.1 | Broken on ARM64 | Archive includes an x86_64 backend binary. The store installer blocks it before execution. |
| MagicPods 2.0.21 | Broken on ARM64 | Archive includes an x86_64 `magicpodscore` binary. The store installer blocks it before execution. |
| Decky Recorder | Not in current official store | No matching plugin appeared in the official store list on this date; no archive was installed. Frame Control's own headset panel has a separate recorder. |
The table reflects the tested versions only. Other releases can change their
files or behavior. The official store's digest checks the archive in transit;
it does not certify plugin code. Plugins run with the headset user's access.
For a new plugin, follow the [Frame plugin and extension guide](frame-plugin-author.md).
### Which of these plugins can open a Framey panel?
The separate Framey panel accepts a Frame Control store install with a supported
API v1/v2 frontend or a legacy Decky IIFE frontend in `dist/index.js`.
A backend load does not bypass this frontend check. We downloaded the 11 versions above
again on 25 October 2026 and matched every ZIP's SHA-256 to the official store
catalogue. All 11 had a frontend bundle, but their manifests differed:
| Manifest in the checked archive | Plugins | Framey panel result |
| --- | --- | --- |
| API v2 | ProtonDB Badges 1.3.4 | Eligible; settings rendered in local Chromium. No worn VR check. |
| API v1 | Bluetooth 3.1.1, HLTB for Deck 2.0.12, SteamGridDB 1.8.1, Storage Cleaner 1.4.0, Wine Cellar 0.2.1, MagicPods 2.0.21 | Storage Cleaner rendered its empty-data panel in local Chromium. HLTB started and built a settings view in a local host test; its Steam game page patches have no target. Other panels remain untested. Wine Cellar and MagicPods fail the ARM64 archive check. None has a worn VR result. |
| No `api_version` field | CSS Loader 2.1.3, Animation Changer 1.3.2, Audio Loader 1.6.1, PowerTools 2.0.3 | CSS Loader's legacy IIFE passes the Framey panel packaging check; its theme UI remains untested. Animation Changer's panel remains untested. Audio Loader and PowerTools request root and are blocked. |
The [archive audit record](evidence/framey-official-archive-audit-2026-10-25.json)
has each store ID, exact version, SHA-256, manifest field, and bundle check.
The archive audit itself is static PC inspection. Later local host and fake
Frame tests cover the Storage Cleaner, HLTB, CSS Loader and SteamGridDB cases noted above; none shows
that a plugin is visible or usable in the headset. The earlier real Frame backend checks in the table above
remain the only device evidence for these versions. A new store version needs a
new check because its manifest and binaries can change.
Pinned CSS Loader 2.1.3 and SteamGridDB 1.8.1 archives now pass the fake Frame
managed install/remove flow. CSS Loader's `plugin.json` has no `api_version` and
its older IIFE bundle passes the Framey packaging check added in
[#261](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/261). The fixture does not
render its theme controls. SteamGridDB declares API v1 and its bundle passes Framey's packaging
check, but it looks up Steam library modules while loading and patches game
context menus. Those modules and menus do not exist in Framey's isolated
iframe, so its artwork picker cannot be called a usable VR panel. Framey does
not apply its Steam library changes. These checks did not run CSS themes or
modify game artwork on the real Frame.
The new store transaction was also exercised on the same real Frame:
**managed loader install → ProtonDB Badges 1.3.4 store install → status →
store update → store remove → managed loader remove**. Status reported the
managed store ID and version while the plugin was installed. The service
remained active after each store change. The battery was 99% before and after.
The test removed its plugin folder, loader, and owned lock. This validates the
store file and service path over SSH, not a visible VR plugin page.
Frame Control's desktop app and opt-in headset panel now show official store
entries. Install, update, and remove need an explicit confirmation. They only
change Frame Control owned plugin folders under
`~/.local/share/frame-control/decky/plugins`. The installer checks the store
hash and archive paths, blocks root plugins and non-ARM64 binaries, and rolls
back an update if the service restart fails. An update is also refused if its
new plugin name is already used by another installed plugin, because Decky
routes backend calls by name. This collision check has local tests only.
For a managed plugin with a valid recorded SHA-256, Update and Remove recheck
that installed receipt under the headset transaction lock. If another store
action changed it after the list was read, refresh the installed list and
review the action again. This race check has local transaction tests; older
receipts without a valid hash still use the existing ownership check.
The current VR shell does not provide Decky's Steam Deck Quick Access Menu.
Frame Control's headset panel
shows installed plugins and store actions. Its separate Framey iframe hosts
API v2 pages and API v1 bundles that use Decky's modern frontend initializer,
with settings, local routes, and panel toasts where supported.
Steam route patches and system notifications remain unavailable. The panel
still needs a worn-headset visual and controller check. See the
[current compatibility table](frame-plugin-author.md#framey-decky-api-compatibility).
## What was checked on the real headset
The headset was SteamOS `0.5.6`, `VARIANT_ID=vr`, build `20261022.6153909`,
`aarch64` (SteamOS 3.9.x family). SSH reached it through the existing `frame`
alias. `/` was mounted read-write as Btrfs; no root filesystem change was
needed. `systemctl --user` was running. The Steam client launched with
`-cef-enable-debugging`, `-vrgamepadui`, and `-steamdeck`; its web helper served
CEF remote debugging on `127.0.0.1:8080`. The usual
`.cef-enable-remote-debugging` marker was absent, yet debugging was active.
CEF listed a `SharedJSContext` target at `steamloopback.host/routes/library/home`
and a separate `SteamVR` target for the VR overlay. The Decky 3.3.0 ARM64
binary started from `/tmp` as the normal user: port `127.0.0.1:1337` answered
HTTP 200, the log reported `Loading Decky frontend!`, and CEF showed
`window.deckyHasLoaded === true` and one registered Decky tab in
`SharedJSContext`. The `SteamVR` target had neither that global nor a Decky tab;
its current body text did not contain Decky. The Steam web helper had
`--disable-quick-menu`. This is evidence of backend and shared-context
injection, not proof of an accessible Decky plugin menu inside VR. A QAM
interaction in the headset and a plugin UI test remain necessary.
Frame Control's per-user manager was then exercised on the real Frame:
**install → status → update → status → remove → status**. The service became
active, the binary matched Decky's published SHA-256, and removal left no
service, binary or listening port 1337. Decky's already injected JavaScript
remained in Steam's running web helper until that helper was restarted. After a
web helper restart, both `deckyHasLoaded` and the tab hook were absent. All
temporary trial files and the test's empty managed data folder were removed.
## ProtonDB Badges compatibility test
The [ProtonDB Badges v1.1.0 release](https://github.com/OMGDuke/protondb-decky/releases/tag/v1.1.0)
was tested on the same Frame OS build. It is a popular, passive Decky plugin
(133 GitHub stars at test time) that adds badges to game pages. The published
archive SHA-256 was
`b4c72ff0ffe60b1a14abafe75a62f644cbb6689f398a753a1905c281151d9173`.
Its six archive entries had no links or path traversal, and its manifest declared
`flags: []` and `api_version: 2`. The release contains a frontend bundle and
no backend `main.py`; its source backend only manages its own settings.
The test copied the archive into Frame Control's managed Decky plugin folder,
then installed the official Decky 3.3.0 ARM64 binary as a user service. Decky's
log said `Plugin ProtonDB Badges is passive` and `Loaded ProtonDB Badges`.
`DeckyPluginLoader.plugins` in Steam's `SharedJSContext` contained
`ProtonDB Badges`; `deckyHasLoaded` was true there. The separate `SteamVR`
CEF target had no Decky globals or plugin text, and SteamVR listed no Decky
overlay. The headset was in standby, so no in-headset plugin page or badge
interaction was verified. The backend's unauthenticated root URL returned
HTTP 403, as expected.
The test removed the managed Decky service and binary, the test plugin folder,
and its shared-device lock. The service was no longer running, the plugin list
was empty, the binary and unit were gone, and port 1337 was closed. Decky's
already injected frontend may remain in the running Steam web helper until
Steam normally restarts; the test did not restart Steam or SteamVR.
## Why the official Decky installer is not used
The current [Decky installer](https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-installer/blob/e42a3c828de90673959b4de26cf5c5d2c7830554/cli/install_release.sh)
selects `PluginLoader-arm64` on `aarch64`, creates `~/homebrew/plugins`, writes
the CEF marker, installs `/etc/systemd/system/plugin_loader.service`, and uses
`sudo systemctl` to enable a **root** service. Its
[uninstaller](https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-installer/blob/e42a3c828de90673959b4de26cf5c5d2c7830554/cli/uninstall.sh)
also uses sudo. These scripts do not call `steamos-readonly`, but they do write
under `/etc`; their root service has broad control over the headset. The
current [Decky loader](https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader/blob/00cd202872b85868071b041c8f1b34e734147195/backend/decky_loader/injector.py)
targets Steam's shared Gamepad UI CEF page, injects a frontend served on port
1337, and patches the standard Quick Access Menu. On Frame, Steam supplies
the CEF target, while visible VR shell integration is unresolved.
Frame Control downloads only Decky's official latest ARM64 release, requires
its published SHA-256 digest, and checks the ELF architecture. It installs a
**user** service named `frame-control-decky.service` in
`~/.config/systemd/user`, with the binary and plugin folder under
`~/.local/share/frame-control/decky`. It never asks for a sudo password, edits
`/etc`, or changes CEF flags. Decky warns that running without root is not
officially supported. Plugins that require root, assume `~/homebrew`, or rely
on Steam Deck hardware may fail even if the loader runs. Frame Control lists
plugins already present in its managed folder and the upstream `~/homebrew`
folder. The opt-in store manager installs compatible archives only into its
own folder. It cannot make Steam Deck QAM plugin pages visible in Frame VR.
The experimental [Framey panel host](framey-loader.md) can render compatible
plugin settings inside Frame Control's separate SteamVR dashboard panel.
The real headset still needs a worn-user visibility and controller check.
The latest tested release was
[Decky 3.3.0](https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader/releases/tag/v3.3.0),
`PluginLoader-arm64` SHA-256
`8ef5dcf36cbbbb6e97201a6baed5d79c4cc44ec27789fc9af1c5b6ae8f0b25b6`.
This digest comes from that release's GitHub API asset metadata; it detects a
download mismatch, but is not an independent signature.
## Opt in and remove
In Frame Control, open **Tools → Decky Loader on Frame**, read the experimental
notice, check the acknowledgement box, and choose **Install**. **Update**
downloads and verifies the latest ARM64 release again. **Remove managed
Decky** disables and removes only Frame Control's user service and binary.
It preserves plugin files and settings so unrelated user data is not deleted.
Open **Official plugin store** to review a plugin, then confirm each install,
update, or remove. Root and x86-only plugins are blocked. The manager only
removes plugin folders that it installed; it leaves other Decky folders alone.
The desktop app and headset panel share one lock for managed Decky changes.
If another change is in progress, wait for it to finish and try again.
Restart Steam or the headset to clear the frontend already injected into its
current web helper process. No action wipes the headset.
Manual removal if Frame Control is unavailable:
```sh
ssh frame 'systemctl --user disable --now frame-control-decky.service; rm -f ~/.config/systemd/user/frame-control-decky.service ~/.local/share/frame-control/decky/PluginLoader ~/.local/share/frame-control/decky/.frame-control/receipt.json; systemctl --user daemon-reload; systemctl --user reset-failed frame-control-decky.service'
```
That command intentionally keeps `~/.local/share/frame-control/decky/plugins`
and `settings`. Check those folders before deleting them yourself. An upstream
Decky installation is separate; use its own installer to remove it. Frame
Control refuses to install alongside an upstream system service.
## Next compatibility test
In the headset, open Steam's VR dashboard and look for Decky's plugin tab or
Quick Access Menu after an opt-in install. If none appears, inspect whether
the VR shell exposes a different menu component and whether Decky's frontend
can target it without patching Steam globally. Confirm the plugin's visible
UI, controller interaction, and persistence across a normal Steam restart.
Until those checks pass,
Frame Control should not describe Decky plugins as usable in VR yet. A worn
headset check is needed for both the Decky menu and the Frame Control SteamVR
panel; only then can their controller interaction and plugin presentation be
confirmed.

# Headsets, addresses and the connection
Frame Control can manage more than one Steam Frame, and each headset can be
reached at more than one address: a LAN IP at home, another at the office, its
mDNS name (`frame.local`), its Tailscale IP or MagicDNS name. The **Devices**
tab (key 5) lists them. The connection pill in the header says whether the one in
use is connected and how (Tailscale, or the network's name); click it to add,
edit or reorder that headset's addresses, or to see each step of connecting.
The code is in three modules, all stdlib-only Python on your computer:
| Module | What it does |
|---|---|
| `ui/frame_devices.py` | The registry: headsets, their addresses, networks; importing and updating `~/.ssh/config`; pinned host keys |
| `ui/frame_network.py` | Which network this computer is on, and Tailscale's state |
| `ui/frame_link.py` | The connector: finds the headset, keeps the SSH connection, publishes each stage; the Devices API |
## Headsets
Each headset keeps its own SSH alias, as Set Up Connection has always written
it: the first is `frame`, the next `frame-2`, and so on. Terminal's
`ssh frame-2` and the helper scripts (`FRAME_ALIAS=frame-2 scripts/push.sh …`)
work for each one.
- **Nothing to migrate by hand.** On first start, the app imports every
`# >>> steam-frame (ALIAS) >>>` block in `~/.ssh/config` as a headset, with
the block's HostName as its first address. It also copies the host key your
`known_hosts` already trusts for that address into the headset's own
known_hosts file, `~/.ssh/frame-control-hosts/<id>`, so nobody is asked to trust it again.
- **Add a headset** runs Set Up Connection (`scripts/connect.sh` on macOS,
`ui/frame_connect.py --alias NAME` elsewhere) in a terminal with a new alias.
When it writes its block, the app picks the headset up by itself. If Set Up
Connection runs again and finds a headset somewhere new, that address is added
at the top of its list.
- **Use this headset** (or the switcher in the header, or the app's
**Frame → Headset** menu) moves the whole app to another headset; every panel
reloads from it. From that moment no command goes to the previous headset, even
if the new one never answers. It waits while an install is running, since an
install reads the SSH settings step by step.
- **Remove** forgets a headset. Its `~/.ssh/config` block stays unless you tick
the box; either way it isn't imported again unless Set Up Connection changes it.
- A plain `FRAME_ALIAS` that Set Up Connection never configured still works: the
app shows it as not set up and lets ssh's own config decide where it goes.
## Addresses
Each address has a kind (LAN, mDNS, Tailscale or Other, guessed from the address
and changeable), an optional label, the networks it has worked on, and when it
last worked with its round-trip time.
When connecting, the app **tries all addresses at once** (TCP to the SSH port)
and ranks them:
1. addresses that worked on the network this computer is on now;
2. mDNS names;
3. Tailscale addresses, if Tailscale is running here;
4. addresses not tried on this network yet;
5. addresses that only ever worked on other networks;
6. Tailscale addresses while Tailscale is off.
Your order (on the Devices tab, or in the pill's dialog) breaks ties. The best-ranked address that answers
wins; one that answers first waits up to 0.35 s for a better-ranked one that is
still trying. If SSH to the winner fails in a way another address could fix
(a different device answered there, or the link dropped), the next one that
answered is tried. Every success records the network on that address, so next
time on that network it's tried first.
**Test now** probes every address and tries SSH on each one that answers, without
disturbing the connection in use: "SSH works", "answered as a different
headset", "refused this computer's key", or why it didn't answer. **Find on
Tailscale** lists your tailnet's devices (likely headsets first, from `tailscale
status --json`, including the Mac app's own CLI) with buttons to add their
MagicDNS name or IP. **Find on this network** asks mDNS for SteamOS devkit
services and checks `ALIAS.local` and `frame.local`.
**The pill's dialog** lists the same addresses, with what each one answered, and
can add, edit, reorder and remove them without leaving the page you're on. When
the headset reports a LAN IP on the same network as this computer and that IP
isn't saved, it offers to add it. The offer puts the address first in the list,
so on that network it wins over the Tailscale name; away from home the Tailscale
name still leads. A new or edited address is tested straight away. While
connected, **Reconnect** applies your changes now rather than at the next
connection: it tries the addresses again, ranked as above, and the best-ranked
one that answers promptly wins. It doesn't pick a particular address.
## Networks
A network is told apart by its default gateway: the router's IP address plus its
hardware (MAC) address, read with `route`/`arp` (macOS), `ip route`/`ip neigh`
(Linux) or `route print`/`arp -a` (Windows). That works on wired networks, and
on macOS 14 and later, which hides the Wi-Fi name from apps without Location
permission. Where the system does share the Wi-Fi name, it's shown, and you can
name any network yourself ("Home Wi-Fi") on the Devices tab.
The app rereads the gateway every 5 seconds and Tailscale's state every
30 seconds. Changing networks reconnects.
## The connection, stage by stage
When a connection fails, the header pill keeps its compact offline state and
retry countdown; its tooltip and connection dialog contain the full reason.
Devices shows a short reason in the headset row (with the full reason in its
tooltip) and a wrapping recovery explanation in the selected headset's details.
**Use this headset** also selects that headset's details.
The connector runs in the server (`frame_link.Link`) and moves through:
1. **Checking this computer's network**: gateway, Wi-Fi, this computer's IP, Tailscale.
2. **Finding the headset**: each address resolving, trying, answered in N ms,
no answer, refused, or can't be found.
3. **Opening SSH** to the address that answered.
4. **Checking the headset's identity**: the host key must match the one pinned
for this headset.
5. **Logging in** as the headset's user.
6. **Connected** via network N, address A, round trip T; or **failed** at a stage
with the reason in plain words and a countdown to the next try (5, 10, 20,
then every 30 seconds). Retry now skips the wait.
Stages 3 to 5 come from following `ssh -v` as it runs. On macOS and Linux the
connection is an SSH ControlMaster that every command shares; when it dies (the
headset slept or left the network) the connector notices and starts again. On
Windows, where OpenSSH can't share a connection, the same handshake runs once
and each command then connects on its own; a command that can't reach the
headset makes the connector start again. There ssh's stderr goes to a file that
the connector reads as it grows, not a pipe: Windows' OpenSSH can block writing
to a redirected pipe.
Once connected, every `ssh`, `scp` and `rsync` the app runs gets
`-o HostName=<address> -o HostKeyAlias=frame-control-<id>
-o UserKnownHostsFile=~/.ssh/frame-control-hosts/<id> -o HashKnownHosts=no -o User=… -o Port=…`. The
alias's block in `~/.ssh/config` is also updated to the last address that
worked (and to the user and port you set), so Terminal's `ssh frame` and the
scripts follow. Edits to `~/.ssh/config` take a lock file
(`~/.ssh/config.frame-control.lock`) that Set Up Connection takes too, and never
write over a change someone else made since the app last read the file.
**Host keys are pinned per headset, not per address.** Your own `known_hosts`
is keyed by address, so a different device answering at a remembered IP (a DHCP
lease that moved) would look like a new host there. The app keeps one known_hosts
file per headset instead, so saving or forgetting one headset's key never touches
another's: a different device answering at one of its
addresses is refused, and the pill says so. A headset's first connection trusts
the key it shows, as Set Up Connection does: while a headset has never had an
identity here, every ssh command gets `StrictHostKeyChecking=accept-new` (the
first contact saves it, whichever command makes it), and from then on
`StrictHostKeyChecking=yes`. `accept-new` never replaces a saved key, so it
can't hide a change. The saved key's fingerprint is also recorded in
`devices.json` (`identity`), along with a flag that never clears
(`identity_established`), as soon as ssh saves the key: even if the login is then
refused. A headset counts as having had an identity if the flag is set, a
fingerprint is recorded, its pin file exists at all, or a connection to it ever
worked (older files get the flag from that when loaded, so editing or removing
the address that worked doesn't undo it); then
a pin file that's deleted, empty, unreadable or not parseable **fails closed**
(*Checking the headset's identity* fails, "missing or can't be read") rather than
trusting whatever answers, and only **Check its key…** saves a key again. It
says when the key it reads matches the recorded fingerprint.
**When the key changes** (SteamOS reinstalled or reset, a new headset at the
same address, or a different device answering there), nothing is accepted by
itself. The connection fails at *Checking the headset's identity*; the banner
and the headset on the Devices tab say so, with **Check the new key…** (also
**Check its key…** on the Devices tab at any time). That reads the key the
headset shows now, and nothing more: ssh writes it to a throwaway known_hosts
file during the key exchange, before any login, and is stopped as soon as it
has. Every other kind of contact is ruled out on the command line, ahead of
anything `~/.ssh/config` says: no authentication of any kind, no agent
(`IdentityAgent=none`, `ForwardAgent=no`), no X11 or port forwarding, no local
or remote command (`-N`), no terminal, and `-F none`. Through a ProxyJump host
it builds that hop itself, as a ProxyCommand whose ssh forwards nothing and runs
no local command (ProxyJump's own ssh would take `ForwardAgent` and
`LocalCommand` from `~/.ssh/config`); it still logs in to the jump host as
configured. Every word of that ProxyCommand is quoted for the shell that runs it
(and `%` doubled for ssh's own tokens), the forward is `[%h]:%p` so an IPv6
headset works, and an IPv6 jump host is passed bare with its port. Through a ProxyCommand from `~/.ssh/config`, or several jump hosts,
it refuses, since those can't be made safe from here: add an address it can
reach directly, or compare the key by hand. It shows the key's SHA256 fingerprint next to
the saved one, with the command that prints it on the headset
(`ssh-keygen -lf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub`, in Konsole on its desktop).
**This is my headset: trust its new key** then saves exactly that key, replacing
the old one, and reconnects. The server keeps the key it showed for 10 minutes
and saves it only if the page sends back the same fingerprint, and only while
the headset's port, user and that address are unchanged; it never saves whatever
answers next. The API's old `forget-identity`, which deleted the pin so that the
next contact saved any key unseen, is refused. Set Up Connection can't fix a changed key: it checks your
own `known_hosts`, not the headset's file.
**When the headset refuses this computer's key** (`Permission denied
(publickey,…)`), the connection stops at *Logging in*, and the banner and the
Devices tab offer **Set Up Connection…**, which pairs this computer again.
Neither is reported as a fault: the diagnostics report each kind at most once
a session ([privacy.md](privacy.md)).
## One server at a time
Only one Frame Control server runs per user (a lock file, `server.lock`, in the app's
data folder). Two would each connect, reconnect and edit the headsets on their own, and
one could move the other's install to a different headset. A second one, say
`scripts/frame-ui.sh` while the app is open, exits with "Frame Control is already
running". `FRAME_CONTROL_DATA_DIR` gives a separate one, with its own headsets.
## API
All under the usual `/api/` guards (loopback `Host`, `X-Frame-UI` header).
| Request | Returns |
|---|---|
| `GET /api/connection` | The connection state: `phase` (connecting, connected, failed), `device`, `network`, `stages`, `probes`, `via`, `error`, `retry_at`, `tests`, `version` |
| `GET /api/connection/events` | The same as server-sent events, one each time it changes (the page reads it with `fetch`, since `EventSource` can't send the header) |
| `GET /api/devices` | Headsets, the current network, known networks, the next free alias |
| `GET /api/devices/tailscale?id=` | Tailscale peers, likely headsets first |
| `GET /api/devices/mdns?id=` | Headsets found on this network |
| `POST /api/devices` | `{"action": ...}`: `use`, `update` (name, user, port), `remove`, `address-add`, `address-update`, `address-remove`, `address-move`, `test`, `identity-scan` (read the key the headset shows: `scan` with `type`, `fingerprint`, `host`, `saved`, `recorded`, `matches`, `recorded_match`), `identity-trust` (`fingerprint`: save the key `identity-scan` showed), `forget-identity` (refused: use the two before), `name-network`, `setup` (alias, optional host), `retry` |
Every host, alias and user is checked against strict patterns before it's
stored, because they end up in ssh arguments and `~/.ssh/config`; nothing goes
through a shell.
## The registry file
`devices.json` in the app's data folder (`~/Library/Application Support/Frame
Control` on macOS, `%APPDATA%\Frame Control` on Windows,
`~/.local/share/frame-control` on Linux). It's plain JSON so the iPhone app can
share the format later (it still connects to one host; see
[iphone.md](iphone.md)):
```json
{"version": 1, "active": "f67f8b7e",
"devices": [{"id": "f67f8b7e", "name": "Steam Frame", "alias": "frame", "user": "steamos", "port": 22,
"identity_files": ["~/.ssh/id_ed25519_frame"], "identity": ["SHA256:…"], "identity_established": true,
"addresses": [{"host": "frame.local", "kind": "mdns", "label": "",
"networks": ["n-e0998baa61"], "last_ok": 1790593550.4, "last_rtt_ms": 0.9}]}],
"networks": {"n-e0998baa61": {"name": "Home Wi-Fi", "ssid": null, "gateway": "192.168.1.1",
"gateway_mac": "b4:fb:e4:b5:67:55", "wifi": true, "last_seen": 1790593550.0}}}
```
A network id is `n-` and the first 10 hex digits of SHA-1 of `gateway|mac`.
## Tests
`tests/test_devices.py`, `tests/test_network.py` and `tests/test_link.py` run
with the other unit tests. They use a stand-in `ssh` (`tests/fakessh/ssh`) that
prints what `ssh -v` prints and plays a ControlMaster, real sockets on this
computer for the addresses, and temporary folders for `~/.ssh`
(`FRAME_CONTROL_SSH_DIR`) and the app data (`FRAME_CONTROL_DATA_DIR`), so they
never touch yours.

# Emulators and your own games
Frame Control's **Store → Emulators** lists Android emulators from its open
app sources. Pick an app, read its compatibility result, and install it. An
installed Android app gets its own Steam library shortcut and artwork; **Add
artwork** in its library menu can fill missing images later. The artwork
workflow also covers native Linux and Windows titles added through **Send to
Frame**. An optional SteamGridDB key under **Settings → Library artwork**
can supply exact-title community images; source images and generated art are
fallbacks. See [VR APKs → In the Steam library](vr-apks.md#in-the-steam-library)
for the limits and tested behavior.
## Set up an emulator
1. In **Store → Emulators**, choose an emulator that supports the console and
file format you want. Check its compatibility result before installing;
an app listed in the store is not automatically verified on the Frame.
2. Launch the new shortcut from Steam. Open the emulator's own settings to
choose a gamepad layout, core or system, and game folder. These controls
differ by emulator; Frame Control does not change them.
3. Use game files you own and any firmware that emulator's instructions
require. Frame Control does not provide ROMs or firmware.
**Android apps run in separate Lepton instances.** Copying a ROM to the
Frame's Linux `~/Downloads` through **Send to Frame** does not automatically
put it in an Android app's `/sdcard/Download`. A one-click ROM transfer is
deferred until an emulator and its file picker can be tested end to end on a
real Frame. An app's own import or sync feature may be enough. Advanced users
can use [Lepton's per-instance ADB port](apks.md)
to copy into that instance, after confirming the correct container and port.
Do not assume that port 5555 is the emulator: it is Lepton Development, while
installed apps receive their own ports.
For a native Linux emulator that can read the Frame's home directory, use
**Send to Frame → Copy to ~/Downloads instead** for your files, then open them
from the emulator. Whether a particular emulator has a Frame-compatible ARM64
build, correct controller mapping and readable storage must be checked for
that app. **Linux apps** in Frame Control lists Flatpak options; a Windows or
native game archive can instead be added through
[Send to Frame](sideloading.md#using-it), which registers a Steam title and
artwork. Each ROM is usually opened *inside* its emulator; Frame Control does
not create one Steam shortcut per ROM.
## If something does not appear
- Check that the emulator is running and is the same app instance to which
you sent the file. Android instances do not share `/sdcard` storage.
- Check the emulator's supported extension and whether it expects an archive
or an extracted file. Some systems need firmware before games appear.
- For an empty Steam tile, use **Add artwork** in the installed app or
sideloaded title menu. This changes artwork, not emulator data or ROMs.
The Frame's microSD/USB path into Android apps remains unverified without an
inserted medium and an app readback test; see [issue #169](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/issues/169).

# Auto-sync retry and headset-selection reliability
Date: 25 October 2026. Base: `d79efb4`, Frame Control v0.4.30.
Issue: [#214](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/issues/214).
Environment: Linux x86_64, Python 3.12.3, Node 24.15.0.
## Reproduced problems
The existing 19 auto-sync tests passed on the base revision. Added regressions
failed before the implementation: an exhausted clip lost its error, explicit
retry did not recover failed screenshots or clips, and switches around listing
or copying continued the old pass. The original callback interface also had no
way to carry the tick's captured device into the server list reservation.
The final fake-source tests exercise these boundaries:
- Fail screenshots or clips three times, keep checking without further copy
attempts, and retain the source error plus an explicit retry instruction.
- Recover the source and use either Resume or Copy everything now without
restarting. Successful copies stay deduplicated; Resume retains the ledger
even after a local file is deleted. Copy everything now retains its documented
ability to restore deleted files and include older media.
- Reset an exhausted budget while the source still fails: another three
attempts are allowed, rather than unlimited background attempts.
- Save an exhausted item by hand and clear its stale failure on the next list.
- Switch after tick captures A, during a list, after screenshot bookkeeping,
between media kinds, before a transfer, or before transfer bookkeeping.
Interrupted passes do not mark the other headset's IDs or continue copying.
- Switch to B exactly at callback entry through the production `_sync_list`
adapter. `working(A)` refuses before calling the source list, leaving both
ledgers and copy callbacks untouched. The same production reservation blocks
a device switch during a list and rejects stale screenshot/clip transfers.
- Execute the production Settings renderer in Node: Resume is available for
copy errors and disk-full pauses, and hidden for a healthy state.
## Implementation boundary
Each list callback now receives the captured device, like the copy callbacks.
The existing server `working(meant)` mechanism checks that intended headset
under `_work_lock` while reserving work; `devices_post` uses the same lock to
refuse switches during that work. The worker also checks for interruption
around lists and transfers. No new device lock or clip destination logic is
introduced. The server diff is confined to `_sync_list`.
The failed-attempt and error maps are in-memory and reset on explicit retry or
restart. The successful-copy ledger and settings persistence retain their
existing format. Disk-full pauses, offline backoff, clip settling and the
three-attempt limit remain covered by the original tests.
## Checks
- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p test_autosync.py -v`: 33 passed.
- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p test_shot_copy.py -v`: 2 passed.
- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p test_clips.py -v`: 34 passed,
including local ffmpeg coverage.
- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p test_service_regressions.py -v`:
36 passed.
- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p test_page_scripts.py -v`: 5 passed.
- `node --test site/test/*.test.mjs`: 2 test files passed.
- `python3 -m py_compile ui/frame_autosync.py ui/server.py tests/test_autosync.py`
and `git diff --check`: passed.
- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v`: 1,525 tests run in 184.876
seconds, passed with 16 skips. Ran with sandbox escalation for loopback
sockets; test isolation still used throwaway app/SSH data and mocked headset
transport. Final output:
```text
Ran 1525 tests in 184.876s
OK (skipped=16)
```
## Limits and handoff
All new regressions use fake sources and mocked transport; they do not prove
real-headset transfer or UI rendering. No headset was accessed: its shared test
lock was held by another task. The Docker fake-Frame end-to-end suite and
Windows/macOS runs were not performed locally. The coordinator owns review and
merge; this task does not release, change PR #113, or publish announcements.

# Packaged Desktop Capture, 2026-10-24
Base: `de931bc`. Package: Linux x86_64 **v0.4.17**. Device: real Frame,
SteamOS **0.5.6**, BUILD_ID **20261015.6141207**. Host: lxso2.
[Sanitized state and response evidence](desktop-capture-packaged-2026-10-24.json).
## Result and issue boundary
The packaged app discovered the nested KDE compositor and both automated
Desktop **Capture** button clicks succeeded. The repeat returned HTTP 200,
`Content-Type: image/png`, `X-Capture-Source: panel`, and Content-Length
1,209,980. The app decoded a fresh, nonblank 1920×1080 image and displayed
the Desktop panel badge. No further product failure was reproduced or fixed.
This does **not** establish the full visible-desktop condition in
[#73](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/issues/73). `xwininfo` reported
the desktop window `IsViewable`, and gamescope confirmed focus after
`vrcmd --showdashboard valve.steam.desktopgame.0`. However, SteamVR still
reported that overlay `not_visible`. There was no worn-headset visual check.
The observation proves capture of a mapped nested compositor, not its visible
presentation to a wearer. Do not close #73 from this evidence.
The issue screenshot shows a desktop panel in the headset view while Desktop
Capture logs “no app panel is open in the headset.” The reporter used SteamOS
0.4.5, gave no Frame Control version or reproduction steps, and has not replied
to the maintainer's 0.4.3 update request. The duplicate page function was already
fixed; [PR #152](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/152) subsequently
improved unknown-state diagnostics. Its [earlier investigation](panel-discovery-2026-10-24.md)
was blocked from starting a desktop by another task's lock. This run adds a
current-package capture observation, without reproducing the older failure.
## Procedure
1. Read-only preflight found Game Mode active, full Plasma inactive, Steam and
SteamVR running, battery 99%, no nested desktop/runtime and no test lock.
2. Compared the retained AppImage's SHA-256 with the live v0.4.17 release asset
digest: `b1b8eb82bf73a227b2cd36e8f0ef3a2ebdf7967c5853efb08a9634f38227015d`.
Extracted an independent copy; `cmp` confirmed its `frame_touch.py` matches
the base checkout. No payload was edited.
3. Started the package's own AppRun, bundled server and Python on Xvfb `:139`
with private config/cache/data/profile, telemetry and update checks disabled,
and `--no-sandbox --disable-gpu`. Used the existing authorized `ssh frame`
identity. T3 preview opened the package server page but does not attach to
the existing Electron window. The literal Electron button test used the
same Playwright-over-loopback-CDP workflow as the earlier packaged tests.
4. Acquired `/tmp/frame-test.lock` with atomic `mkdir` and wrote an owner marker.
Rechecked no nested runtime or Plasma was present. Started SteamOS's
`/usr/bin/steamos-nested-desktop` in the owned transient user unit
`fc-issue73-desktop-20261024.service`, using Steam's display/session variables.
`RuntimeMaxSec=180s`, `TimeoutStopSec=15s` and `KillMode=control-group` bounded
the session. This launches a desktop panel inside Game Mode; no full Desktop
Mode switch was sent.
5. In the actual packaged Electron window, navigated Tools → Capture & Live →
Desktop and clicked Capture with `locator.click()`. The first click event
recorded `isTrusted=true`. The page selected the KDE compositor on `:0`;
the production screenshot path used window `62914560`. Requested the desktop
dashboard, read back focus/visibility, and clicked Capture again. Recorded
response metadata, fresh decoded image dimensions and canvas pixel range.
No direct screenshot API call was substituted for these button clicks.
6. Ran the packaged `frame_touch.py panels` read-only over SSH to retain its
exact discovery result: one focused KDE compositor panel, app ID 0, 1920×1080,
display `:0`, with no diagnostic `why` field.
## Cleanup and limits
The owned desktop session ran **09:43:48–09:45:33 UTC** (105 seconds). Hid the
dashboard to restore its initial hidden state, stopped only the owned unit,
and verified it was unloaded/inactive with MainPID 0. No Plasma/KWin desktop
process or nested runtime remained; gamescope's focusable/focused lists were
empty again. Released only this task's lock, after checking its owner marker.
Delayed readback at **09:46:39 UTC** confirmed the lock absent, Game Mode active,
full Plasma inactive and the original Steam, vrserver and vrcompositor PIDs
still running. The Game Mode service invocation was unchanged. Battery was
99% at cleanup and 100%/Full on the delayed check. Closed both owned preview
tabs, Electron and Xvfb; their processes and X socket were gone. No test server
remained. No reboot, installation, security/global setting change or full
Desktop Mode transition was performed.
The nested desktop journal included gamescope WSI/Vulkan-hook warnings. No
warning was dismissed. Capture produced nonblank compositor pixels, but this
run does not assess their usability to a wearer. Private image files stayed
outside the repository; only state and response metadata are published.
The initial CDP `response.body()` read yielded zero bytes despite successful
decoding in the page. The repeat verified the PNG Content-Length, fresh image
dimensions/source/selection and a 2,011,278-byte PNG exported from the canvas.
The initial raw-body measurement is a harness limitation, not evidence of a
product capture failure. No Live video, Control input, physical monitor, FUSE
mounting or hardware rendering was tested. Older SteamOS and other packages
remain outside this observation.
## Offline verification
`python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p test_touch.py -v`: **42 tests passed**,
including the production page's Node panel behavior tests, duplicate-function
guard, absent versus empty panel diagnostics, alternate displays, capture/input
target validation and discovery deadlines. JSON parsing and `git diff --check`
were also checked. No new regression test was added because this is an
evidence-only change with no reproduced product defect.

# API v1 panel check, 25 October 2026
The unmodified official Storage Cleaner 1.4.0 archive (store ID 50, SHA-256
`1afa1a6f129c5d419de0e0bf0f6db8d8e50385a5659179346e996031ea372591`)
declares `api_version: 1`, but its bundled frontend connects to Decky's modern
frontend API. Framey admitted that bundle from a local store receipt and
rendered it in Chromium inside an iframe with `sandbox="allow-scripts
allow-popups"`.
A test parent returned empty lists and `0B` for the plugin's two list and two
size backend calls. Chromium reported `framey:ready`, displayed Shader Cache
and Compatibility Data sections, and showed all four cleanup buttons disabled.
No cleanup action was invoked. The backend was a stub; the test did not run the
plugin's Python code or connect to a headset.
This confirms a panel shell for this exact archive with empty data. Storage
Cleaner may remove compatibility data and local game saves when used with a
real backend. Its cleanup actions, game names, SteamClient app details, VR
visibility, and controller input remain unverified on Frame. Do not infer that
its deletion controls are safe or complete in VR from this browser check.

# Official audio plugins: local real-backend checks
Volume Mixer 1.2.1-1 (38), Volume Boost 0.0.7 (58) and Mixer 0.1.0 (144)
passed useful audio controls in local Chromium with their **unmodified official
Python backends running in actual Decky 3.3.0**. All three remain **partial**:
this run used amd64 Linux, and Frame ARM64 dependencies/audio-session mapping
are unverified. The shared headset lock was occupied; no headset reads or
changes occurred. No worn-VR result is claimed.
The private test container and browser relay were removed after verification.
The [machine-readable observations](framey-audio-backends-2026-10-26.json)
pin all three official archives and the published Decky binary digest, and
record each browser-triggered write with independent `pactl` channel readbacks.
| Plugin | Useful behavior checked | Still unverified on Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Volume Mixer | Discover two playback streams; slider click and ArrowDown change only the selected stream, 100 → 50 → 45%; other stream remains 100% | ARM64 libpulse/libdbus, actual user audio session, Bluetooth playback controls |
| Volume Boost | Both-channel slider; separate right-channel change preserves left; reopen restores sync preference and actual values; exact numeric left entry; syncing disables both right controls | `pactl`, default sink, hard-coded runtime UID, physical output, boost above 100% |
| Mixer | Exact stream volume 37 → 38%, independently read back; invalid 101 and off-step 37.5 produce no write; playback filter saved, survives actual Decky restart, hides the intended stream on reopen | `pw-dump`/`wpctl`, actual Frame session, physical output, worn VR |
## Reproduced host gap
Both Volume Boost and Mixer request `SliderField.editableValue`. Framey
previously ignored that prop and rendered only a range slider. It now supplies
an accessible numeric input with the same minimum, maximum, step and disabled
state, and emits numeric `onChange` values. Empty, non-finite, out-of-range and
browser-invalid drafts do not reach a backend. No official archive was patched.
This also makes the control available to other plugins requesting that prop;
it does not establish their compatibility.
## Runtime and isolation
The disposable Debian 13 container ran PipeWire 1.4.2, WirePlumber 0.5.8 and
PulseAudio client tools 17.0. Docker used `--network none --cap-drop ALL
--security-opt no-new-privileges`, no host audio sockets and no sound devices.
Only the archive cache and test inputs were mounted, read-only. Debian 12 was
insufficient for the published Decky binary's GLIBC requirement; that initial
runtime did not start.
Private environment:
```text
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/framey-audio-runtime
PIPEWIRE_REMOTE=framey-audio
PULSE_SERVER=unix:/tmp/framey-audio-runtime/pulse-native
DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/tmp/framey-audio-runtime/bus
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/tmp/framey-audio-runtime/bus
```
XDG config/data/state and both Decky paths were below the private test base.
Decky ran unprivileged with `CHOWN_PLUGIN_PATH=0`, `LIVE_RELOAD=0`,
`USE_CEF_CLOSE_WORKAROUND=0` and `KEEP_SYSTEMD_SERVICE=1`. A private D-Bus
session satisfied Volume Mixer's import; there was no real BlueZ service.
Its fixed `/tmp/VolumeMixer-decky.log` existed only inside the container.
The JSON includes the complete PipeWire server configuration: only a dummy
driver and null stereo sink, no hardware factories. A second PipeWire process
loaded protocol-native, client-node, adapter, metadata and protocol-pulse with
the private absolute socket. `wireplumber --profile policy` managed this server;
that installed profile contains no hardware monitors. Only private default-sink
metadata was selected. Two `paplay --raw --format=s16le --rate=48000 --channels=2
/dev/zero` clients supplied silence named `FrameySilent0` and `FrameySilent1`.
Without policy, successful volume RPCs initially left readbacks unchanged; those
fixture attempts are excluded from the passing observations.
The browser relay served actual `ui/headset.html`, vendored React 18.3.1,
`ui/framey-host.js` and the exact archived frontends in an opaque `allow-scripts`
iframe. Outer headset/installed-plugin responses were fixture-shaped. Backend
RPC used the official Decky websocket protocol inside the isolated container:
`loader/call_legacy_plugin_method` with keyword objects for 38/58 and
`loader/call_plugin_method` with positional arguments for 144. This bypassed
Steam CEF and the production SSH/CDP transport; neither is an audio verification
claim from this run.
The relay allowed discovery/settings reads, bounded volume writes only to
identified `FrameySilent` streams/the private default sink, and Mixer filters
`[]` or `["FrameySilent0"]` with boost limit 0. It denied Bluetooth commands,
`reset_volumes` and boosts. Every volume write was followed by a separate
`pactl -f json list sinks` / `list sink-inputs` read. A clean Decky shutdown and
restart retained Mixer's actual settings file and filter behavior.
Earlier full-catalog fake-Frame evidence for these exact digests covers
install/receipt/frontend/removal transport, with plugin execution stubbed.
The new evidence adds actual local backend execution; it does not turn that
older fake-Frame result into an ARM64 backend test.
## Regression checks
The required server suite passed 1,612 tests (16 skips); all 38 focused Framey
tests and both website tests passed. The 116-plugin browser audit retained
98 initializer-ready / 18 failed, with no change to any ready state. That audit
keeps backend/network actions denied. A fresh official catalog fetch confirmed
all 116 IDs, versions and digests unchanged.
## Next device check
Acquire the normal atomic `/tmp/frame-test.lock`; refuse an existing owner.
First inspect available tools/libraries and audio runtime UID. If supported,
repeat with a private ARM64 Decky user service, isolated audio socket, dummy
sink/streams and hardware discovery disabled. Check Volume Mixer's fixed log
path for collisions before loading it. Never attach the fixture to the normal
headset output/default server. Remove only test-owned services/processes/files,
read back original service/battery state and release only the matching lock.
Keep all three partial until that check passes; physical output, Bluetooth and
worn-VR controls need separate evidence.

# Bluetooth 3.1.1 compatibility fixture, 25 October 2026
The unmodified official Decky store archive for Bluetooth 3.1.1 (store ID 18,
SHA-256 `f07f7b74f31da15b5e3a8234a3f00faa01365b56b8f496aca7bb79120be7b8a5`)
passes Frame Control's archive rules. The fake Frame e2e harness installed it
through the store API, verified the managed receipt and frontend bytes, then
removed it. An earlier real Frame check recorded the backend's `Bluetooth
plugin loaded` line while SteamVR was in standby.
In a local Node host test, its official frontend starts and builds an initial
panel tree. Framey supplies empty Steam token maps and readable English
fallbacks for the three Bluetooth labels that lack plugin-owned fallbacks.
The test leaves React effects and click
handlers inert and sends no backend calls. It does not inspect paired devices,
change Bluetooth state, exercise a controller, or prove the panel is visible in
VR. No worn-headset check has passed for this plugin.

# Framey loader evidence, 25 October 2026
## Local browser and fake Frame
The official Decky store returned 116 validated entries. ProtonDB Badges was
entry 14, release 1.3.4, SHA-256
`90a3453ac02709cad64096e7539fd8141fa56f99ae3441fc24a4990dc9684358`.
Its published ZIP passed Frame Control's store manifest and path validator. The current
`dist/index.js` bundle was loaded in an opaque-origin iframe in local Chromium
with the Framey React/DFL shim. The [browser screenshot](framey-browser-2026-10-25.png)
shows the plugin's settings panel. A pointer click on **Enable Badge on
Library** issued `set_setting('settings', …)` through the iframe's request
bridge. The local test parent returned a stub backend reply; it did not use a
real headset or Decky backend. A separate fake Frame CEF fixture returned
`get_setting` and `set_setting` responses through Frame Control's CDP bridge;
that fixture does not model the real Decky process.
The disposable fake Frame end-to-end harness passed the store catalogue,
acknowledgement and HTTP auth checks, hash-verified install, update, and
removal through the real Frame Control HTTP server and SSH transaction. The
full fake Frame suite passed 48 tests; the full unit suite passed 1,559 tests
(16 skipped). Unit tests covered unsafe archives,
unmanaged-folder preservation, asset isolation, backend-call scope,
and safe aborts of the worn-headset check.
## Real headset status
Read-only SSH on Frame OS 0.5.6 found battery at 98–99%. SteamVR activity was
initially 3 (standby), briefly 0, then 3 again. During the active probe the
shared `/tmp/frame-test.lock` belonged to `obs-aacapv3evh-20261025`. It later
became free after SteamVR returned to standby. Framey did not acquire, replace,
or remove it. The active probe found no installed Frame Control VR panel or
Framey plugin; the scripted worn check exited before acquiring a lock or
altering the headset. There is **no** wearer-visible VR
menu screenshot, controller-input proof, or live settings-persistence result
from this round.

# Framey cache check, 25 October 2026
The official Steam Status 1.2.3 ZIP pinned in
`tests/fixtures/framey-official/123.zip` was loaded through Framey's local
HTTP panel in Chromium. The iframe retained `sandbox="allow-scripts
allow-popups"`, so its native storage remained unavailable. The new Framey
storage facade accepted a set/get probe without a `SecurityError`. Steam
Status rendered and issued four `get_settings` calls to a stub parent backend.
Its `steamstat_last_status` cache entry was about 33 KiB, below the bridge's
128 KiB cap. After reopening the iframe, the parent supplied the saved cache
snapshot and the plugin wrote the same cache key again. The browser log had
zero `SecurityError` or `localStorage` errors.
The parent was a local test page with in-memory Decky backend replies. One
public status fetch also failed in the test browser, so this check does not
establish offline correctness or the freshness of Steam Status data. The
per-plugin save/reopen protocol, stale panel session rejection, and cache
limits are covered by `tests/page/framey_cache.mjs`. Frame OS persistence,
live Decky settings, VR visibility, and controller input remain unverified.

# Legacy Decky frontend bridge
The exact official MusicControl 1.1.6 archive (`12.zip` in the test fixtures)
has no `api_version` field and returns its initializer from a Decky IIFE.
Framey now wraps that expression in an ES module inside the existing
opaque-origin iframe. It passes a legacy `serverAPI` to the initializer.
Local Chromium ran the unchanged official frontend, including React effects,
with all backend calls rejected and network access blocked. It emitted
`framey:ready` without a JavaScript startup error during the observation window.
This proves initialization, not playback, MPRIS access, or a useful populated UI.
The fake Frame installed, packed, checked the frontend bytes and removed this
exact archive. Its synthetic Sample Panel also read a legacy keyword argument,
wrote a setting, and read that setting through the modern API. This exercised
the real HTTP → SSH → CDP path with a fake Decky backend. The RPC contract was
checked against Decky's `handle_plugin_method_call_legacy`: it calls with a
keyword object and returns `{success, result}`. Invalid argument shapes and
unmanaged plugin IDs are rejected.
Verification: `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p 'test_framey*.py'`
(21 passed), `node tests/page/framey_actions.mjs`, and
`scripts/e2e.sh test_framey` (2 passed). No official Python backend code or
headset state was changed by these checks. Real Frame backend behavior,
controller input, playback and worn VR use remain unverified.

# Framey detached Steam library context — 2026-10-26
Framey now reads a bounded library snapshot before importing official frontends
that reference `appStore`, `collectionStore` or `m_CurrentUser`. It supplies app
IDs/names/types/game IDs, sorting/playtime scalars, the actual all-games
collection and the current public Steam ID. It does not copy credentials,
balances, account names, filesystem paths or executable Steam objects.
The projection is a fixed, parameterless `GetLibrarySnapshot` read through the
existing installed-store-plugin boundary. The parent checks the iframe source,
session, method and empty argument list. The host validates rows before exposing
detached Maps and lookup methods. Plugin patches remain local to that iframe.
Missing or invalid data leaves the globals unavailable and logs a clear warning;
there is no invented account or empty-library fallback. Reopening the panel
refreshes the snapshot. Live MobX observations, account-switch notifications and
running-game events are outside this change.
Library-sized backend arguments now have a 256 KiB UTF-8 JSON budget. The old
8 KiB ceiling rejected normal app-name maps. Payloads travel as quoted literals
on SSH stdin, avoiding operating-system limits on a single command argument.
Store receipt ownership, method validation and legacy keyword envelopes still
apply. The library read has a separate 2 MiB / 10,000-app limit; other Steam
reads retain their 256 KiB response limit.
## Observations
| Plugin | Verified behavior | Remaining limit |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Steamback 1.0.0-1 | Panel opens; account setup and empty save-list reads succeed through actual Decky 3.3.0 amd64 | Private container had no Steam saves. ARM64 backend, backup/restore and automatic hooks unverified. Partial. |
| PlayTime 3.2.5 | Actual backend selects the user, returns empty statistics; statistics panel and routed settings/tabs render | No sessions were created. ARM64 backend, existing databases, live observations and automatic recording unverified. Partial. |
| Deck Settings 1.2.6 | Installed game picker renders the real Frame folder/name snapshot; search modal opens | Remote reports/proxy fetch, settings changes and ARM64 backend unverified. Partial. |
| Shotty 0.1.0 | Library-based initializer now completes | Exact backend fails importing `click.get_app_dir`: `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'click'`. Archive does not bundle it. Broken. |
| Discord Status 1.5.0 | Detached overview lookups available | Live running-app observations and artwork helpers remain absent; Discord activity unverified. Broken. |
Exact plugin versions/digests, runtime digest, scoped calls and counts are in the
[redacted observations](framey-library-context-2026-10-26.json). The canonical
table/store labels use the same digest-scoped JSON. None of these plugins is
promoted to **works** by this pass.
## Verification boundaries
- **Real Frame SSH:** atomic `/tmp/frame-test.lock` acquisition for every probe,
matching-owner release in `finally`. Frame OS 0.5.6 ARM64 Steam CEF returned
1,106 apps and 895 game IDs; no missing collection members or invalid rows.
The compact library-only response was 88,451 bytes. Current-user field shape
was separately inspected. Values remain private; only aggregate counts are
published. No wake, power/service changes or device artifacts were needed.
- **Local Chromium:** production `headset.html`, current host, opaque iframe and
unmodified digest-checked official frontends. Library/user and install-folder
data were detached snapshots read from the Frame, replayed locally. This is
not a deployed headset HTTP or worn-VR test.
- **Actual local backends:** published Decky 3.3.0 amd64 executable, private
unprivileged container, network disabled, capabilities dropped, no devices,
host home, saves or Steam files mounted. Only account setup within private
plugin data and read methods were allowed. Backup, restore, aggregation,
screenshot rescue and game actions were denied. Shotty's import failure was
observed from the runtime log before invoking screenshot methods.
- **Catalog regression:** 116 exact frontends attempted, 101 initializer-ready
and 15 failed, compared with 98 ready before this theme. Steamback, Shotty and
PlayTime gained initializer readiness; no previous ready state regressed.
Backend/network calls stayed denied in this sweep. Readiness alone does not
establish useful operation.
- **Fake Frame:** 116 archive/transport cases; 60 install/remove cycles and 56
expected blockers. Official backend execution was stubbed. Its private
Compose containers, network and volumes were removed.
The browser audit accepts `--library-snapshot /private/library.json` to reproduce
the detached replay. This flag does not convert the audit into live Steam or
backend evidence. Never commit personal library snapshots or account values.
No worn-VR, physical controller, keyboard, automatic recording or backup claim
is made. Further device backend checks still require the shared hardware lock.

# LocalSend ARM64 build and isolated Frame probe
The official Decky Localsend archive remains **broken/blocked**: its helper is
x86_64. A source rebuild is now proven to execute on the ARM64 Frame and answer
the LocalSend 2.0 info endpoint. This is a core runtime result, not a working
official-plugin or file-transfer claim. [Machine-readable evidence](framey-localsend-arm64-2026-10-26.json)
records the exact scope and cleanup.
## Reproduce the build
The helper is MIT-licensed; the separate official Python plugin is BSD-3-Clause.
Use the pinned helper source and retain its license for any redistribution.
No binary is redistributed in Frame Control, and no installer digest or
architecture safeguard was changed.
```sh
framey_build_dir=$(mktemp -d)
git clone https://github.com/MoYoez/LocalSend-Go "$framey_build_dir/source"
git -C "$framey_build_dir/source" checkout --detach 66edc509a28b9f877e7374504892dcbc653a4da4
cd "$framey_build_dir/source"
env GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.25.7 CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64 \
go build -trimpath -o "$framey_build_dir/localsend-core" .
sha256sum "$framey_build_dir/localsend-core"
```
Two builds produced the same static aarch64 ELF SHA-256:
`e79238f6051ce34f172f765ae918d3d902b819e27377989a55e5b1eba10e46f9`.
The official ELF uses Go 1.25.7 too, but embeds no VCS revision, so the exact
source correspondence is still unproven. The rebuilt helper recognizes every
CLI flag supplied by the official Python backend.
## Real Frame scope
Tests ran under the normal atomic `/tmp/frame-test.lock` with a private temporary
directory. `-h` exited before configuration or networking. For the health probe,
`unshare -Urn` created a private user/network namespace with loopback and a veth
pair entirely inside it: no external interface or default route. The veth used
the documentation-only `192.0.2.1/24` address. Upstream rejects a loopback-only
discovery interface, which is why the second isolated attempt used a veth.
The helper used a private config/upload path, `-skipNotify`,
`-useAutoSave=false`, `-useAutoSaveFromFavorites=false`, `-useHttp=true`,
`-useReferNetworkInterface probe0` and `-scanTimeout 1`. The test client sent only
`GET /api/localsend/v2/info` over loopback; it returned version `2.0`, device type
`headless` and the private test alias. No upload, transfer, pairing or external
discovery request ran. The helper exited; its private config/log and executable
directory were removed; no service or power setting changed. The lock was
released. An independent cleanup reacquisition found another job's lock and
left it alone; cleanup success comes from the original probe's process wait and
temporary-directory exit, not that deferred audit.
Before enabling an ARM64 official package, verify the unmodified Python backend
and frontend/proxy protocol with this source revision, then HTTPS, discovery and
an explicitly safe private transfer. The official store must publish a matching
ARM64 archive or Frame Control must gain a separately reviewed, digest-scoped
build/package path. Compiling the core does not justify accepting the current
x86 archive or marking the full plugin works.

# Framey session cache browser check, 25 October 2026
Frame Control v0.4.34's opaque Framey iframe made the official Steam Status
1.2.3 frontend log `SecurityError` for its `localStorage` cache. This follow-up
used a per-panel memory substitute. It did **not** change the iframe's sandbox
flags or give plugin code Frame Control's UI key.
A local Chromium page loaded the unmodified official Steam Status 1.2.3 archive
from `tests/fixtures/framey-official/123.zip` (SHA-256
`9053308e04a74f44745b45b9f4f50af3673348d367e7b14bacc5677de707ac4e`).
The page used `sandbox="allow-scripts allow-popups"` and returned `{}` for
four `get_settings` calls. That reply was a stub, not the Decky backend.
The iframe sent `framey:ready`. Its test script wrote and read a cache item.
The parent could not read the iframe document (`contentDocument` was null).
The plugin displayed Steam Status, Store, Community, WebAPI, Connection
Managers and Players Online. Its public status request returned HTTP 200.
No cache `SecurityError` appeared in the captured console, while the
same archive had logged that error with the v0.4.34 host.
Node host tests also checked item updates, removal, clear, key order, string
conversion, quota rejection, and preservation of an existing item after a
rejected write. The substitute keeps at most 256 items and 512 KiB of keys and
values **in memory**. Closing or reloading the panel loses this cache. This
check did not test offline behavior, persistent plugin settings, a live Decky
backend, SteamVR visibility, controller input, or headset performance.

# Steam Status in the local Framey browser, 25 October 2026
This check used the unmodified official Steam Status 1.2.3 archive already
pinned in `tests/fixtures/framey-official/123.zip`. Its SHA-256 is
`9053308e04a74f44745b45b9f4f50af3673348d367e7b14bacc5677de707ac4e`.
The archive declares Decky API v2. No headset was contacted for this check.
On a Linux PC, we extracted the archive to a disposable plugin folder with a
Frame Control store receipt. A local HTTP server served the page from
`framey_panel.panel(123)`, Frame Control's React 18.3.1 runtime and its
`framey-host.js`. A parent page put the panel in an iframe with
`sandbox="allow-scripts"` and returned `{}` for the plugin's `get_settings`
backend calls. This was a **stub**, not the Decky service.
Chromium reported `framey:ready` and four `get_settings` calls. The page showed
Steam Status, Store, Community, WebAPI, Connection Managers, Players Online,
and other controls. Its own public `https://steamstatus.schelstraete.org/api/v1/status`
request returned HTTP 200 and populated the status view. A click on **Refresh**
sent Framey's trusted pointer event to the parent; this test did not prove a
fresh status fetch or settings write. The [browser screenshot](framey-steam-status-browser-2026-10-25.png)
contains only the local test page and public service data.
The plugin logged `SecurityError` while reading and writing `localStorage` in
the opaque-origin iframe. It caught the errors and rendered anyway. Its cache
and offline behavior in Framey are **not verified**. The real Decky backend,
live settings, SteamVR visibility, controller input and headset performance
were not tested. This result supports only local frontend rendering for this
exact archive and Frame Control v0.4.34 host code.

# Framey unattended VR evidence, 25 October 2026 UTC
The committed runner exited **0** on the real Frame, using the existing
`ssh lxso2 'ssh frame …'` route from lxso1. No person wore the headset.
Frame OS **0.5.6**, build **20261022.6153909**, ARM64, SteamVR **2.18.2**,
Decky **3.3.0**. The run began at **23:27:34 UTC**; the Frame's own clock/logs
use UTC+11 and therefore show 26 October.
```sh
python3 scripts/framey-vr-check.py --via lxso2 --exercise --output /tmp/framey-vr-verified
```
[Full machine result](result.json) records source commit
`cb9ad1b6cb7302008783d5f7fe42fa77a4dd43af`, bundle digest, before/after
SteamVR listings, power settings, input observations, and private image hashes.
The checked app code includes the sample settings-path and iframe-reopen fixes
and main through `d77e2bd`. This is source-bundle testing, not a newly published
release/AppImage test. The sample has a random test name and store-shaped local
receipt; it is not presented as an official catalogue listing.
| Check | Observed | Scope |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Overlay registration and visibility | `IVROverlay_027.IsOverlayVisible=true` | Actual Frame Control gamescope overlay, not a browser fixture |
| Transform | type **5**, DashboardTab; absolute getter returns **18**, WrongTransformType | Dashboard owns placement; no transform/dock setters used |
| Texture queries | main size 0×0; image read **24**, InvalidTexture | Direct texture refresh not established; compositor capture used instead |
| Stereo compositor | Before/after SHA-256 differ; final image visibly contains Framey tabs, quick action and saved result | Actual `IVRScreenshots_001` production screenshot path |
| OBS mirror | Current run's random name and “Saved setting is on” appear after draining 60 frames | `/dev/video99` pixels; OBS app itself was not launched in this task |
| OpenVR click | Move/down/up reaches intended control; iframe pointer event is trusted | `IVROverlayView_003.PostOverlayEvent`, no DOM `.click()` |
| Live setting | off → on; real backend file `{"enabled":true}`; fresh iframe reads on | Actual Framey HTTP → Steam CEF → Decky websocket → Python backend; no stubs |
| Tabs/quick action | Settings/Panel clicked; “Saved setting is on” returned | Actual shipped host controls and sample action |
| Slider | 10 → **50** | Native OpenVR click on actual DFL slider, diagnostic UI-only value |
| Text | **framey-ci** | OpenVR pointer focus, then CDP `Input.insertText`; not SteamVR keyboard proof |
| Smooth scroll attempt | `scrollBefore=0`, `scrollAfter=0` | No scrolling established by this attempt; do not count it as a pass |
| Battery | **99% → 99%** | Probed only under the owned lock |
| Power restoration | original pause **false**, timeout **5.000000**, exact values read back | Temporary values false/120; no idle-suspend timer or proximity changes |
| Cleanup | `cleanupErrors=[]`, `powerRecoveryRemoved=true`, `lockReleased=true` | Temporary managed services, sample/settings/profile, timer and restore script removed |
`IsDashboardVisible` and `IsActiveDashboardOverlay` are false while the panel is
visible in these captures: this is an existing placed/docked panel. They cannot
be used alone as a Framey visibility verdict. Activity changes from standby 3
to active 0 without wearing the headset, so activity alone is not worn proof.
Native OpenVR events also produce trusted pointers, so `event.isTrusted` alone
is not physical-controller proof. The worn script now requires explicit
`--worn-confirmed` and reports trusted pointer input with that narrower name.
![Actual compositor panel, room masked](stereo-left-panel-redacted.png)
![Actual mirror panel, room masked](mirror-panel-redacted.png)
These are inset panel crops from the raw captures, with all other pixels
replaced by solid black. No UI content was synthesized. [Image provenance](images.json)
contains source hashes, mask polygons, crops and published hashes. Raw images
remain private under `/tmp/framey-vr-verified` on lxso1. They are not committed.
## Bugs found and fixed
1. The author sample used `decky.decky_SETTINGS_DIR`, absent from real Decky
3.3.0. The actual iframe displayed its backend `AttributeError`. Decky's
[pinned module](https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader/blob/v3.3.0/backend/decky_loader/plugin/imports/decky.py)
exports `DECKY_PLUGIN_SETTINGS_DIR`. The sample, docs and Python test fixture
now use that name. The old fixture invented the same wrong attribute and
masked the failure. The live fixed backend save/reopen is in `result.json`.
2. Reopening the same plugin changed only `#session`, so Chromium retained the
old document/host/cache session. It could retain an error and eventually
show a false “No compatible panel loaded” message. A fresh query parameter
forces a new document while keeping the fragment session. The cache
regression now checks document URLs, rather than manually assuming a new
iframe. The real reopen with the saved setting passed.
## Methods tried and limits
Read-only `vrcmd` stats/overlay listings, the shipped OpenVR ABI, compositor
logs and actual CEF/Chromium targets were inspected first. A simple
`--handlewakeup` initially produced the Frame Control status panel in a stereo
screenshot. The full test uses a bounded screen timeout so it stays active.
Decky's service startup reloads Steam's web helper. During exploratory service
recreation, SteamVR logged `UpdateInputFocus: Failed to give focus to panel`
and returned a hidden, zero-sized main overlay despite a successful focus
request. Retagging only the test browser's `STEAM_GAME` property recovered it;
no Steam, SteamVR, gamescope or headset restart was needed. The final run did
not need this recovery. The runner records it when used.
The first mirror image was demonstrably stale: it contained a previous test's
random plugin name while the contemporaneous stereo image contained the current
one. Reading 60 frames before selecting the mirror image fixed that observation;
the final two published images contain the same current run name.
The diagnostic itself initially failed its cleanup check because an idle
systemd watchdog service was already unloaded. It restored power and removed
the test services, retained the lock, then the exact owned remainder was cleaned
up. Cleanup now checks `LoadState` and tolerates an already-unloaded transient
unit. Subsequent full runs, including the committed run here, exited 0 with no
cleanup errors. A four-minute power-recovery timer was created and cancelled;
forced host death or network loss was not fault injected.
A null driver or virtual tracked controller was not needed for pointer delivery
and was not installed. No root/system files, tracking/proximity configuration,
Steam global binaries, or spatial transforms were edited. PR #113 was untouched.
This check does not establish every official plugin, sustained frame rate,
backend persistence across Steam/Decky reboot, physical controller tracking or
haptics, a functioning virtual keyboard, native scrolling, comfort or legibility
through the optics. Follow the [three-minute worn checklist](../../framey-vr-check.md#three-minute-worn-checklist).
## Local checks
- Full Python suite after integrating current main and worn-confirmation gate:
**1,595 tests, 16 skipped, OK**. The final added scroll/mirror helpers also
passed the **24 focused Framey tests** and the real-device run above.
- App and website test commands passed under **Node 24.22.1**, matching CI's
Node major. System Node 22 cancelled unrelated Meta sign-in timer tests;
those files were not changed. Node 24 was used for final app verification.
- `git diff --check` and Python compilation passed. Hosted CI status belongs to
the PR; local checks do not substitute for its macOS/Windows/ARM64 jobs.
A separate [locked cleanup audit](cleanup-verification.json) confirms both test
services inactive, no panel bundle or Decky binary, no test plugins/profiles or
remaining timers, power restored to false/5, battery 99→99, and its own lock
released. It also removed the stale DevTools discovery file created during the
earlier exploratory use of the original browser profile.

# Framey unworn exercise with standby gate
At 2026-10-26 01:52 UTC, this PR's `scripts/framey-vr-check.py --exercise`
acquired the shared lock on a real Frame running the `c62bffc8` main bundle.
The new read-only preflight found SteamVR activity 3 (standby), proximity raw
6.3125 and battery 99% before allowing temporary installation or power changes.
The lock owner was unique to this run.
The documented unworn exercise passed: the Frame Control overlay was visible,
stereo compositor pixels changed, `/dev/video99` was captured, a synthetic
trusted OpenVR pointer reached the sample, a live Decky setting was saved and
persisted after a fresh panel reopen, and the quick action, slider and text
field produced their expected values. Native scroll did not move. The test
retagged only its temporary panel window once to recover focus. Public numeric
results are in [framey-vr-standby-gate-2026-10-26.json](framey-vr-standby-gate-2026-10-26.json).
Room-containing stereo and mirror captures remain private in `/tmp`.
Cleanup returned battery 99%, `power.pauseCompositorOnStandby=false` and
`power.turnOffScreensTimeout=5.000000`, matching the preflight. The temporary
power recovery unit was removed, no cleanup errors were reported, and only
this run's lock was released. Local tests also checked that activity 1, 2 or
unknown refuses both `--wake` and `--exercise` before any installation or
power change.
Synthetic pointer events and captures do not prove physical controller use,
wearer-visible readability, optical comfort or VR keyboard behavior. Those
remain unverified.
## Combined v0.4.39 candidate reruns
After #278 and #279 joined main, the combined `bc72c41` branch ran the same
locked exercise three times. The first two runs (02:01 and 02:02 UTC) loaded
the sample UI in Chromium, but SteamVR kept its overlay hidden even after the
existing test-window focus retry. Synthetic input reached no panel control;
both runs failed. The third run (02:05 UTC) showed the overlay without that
retry and passed the sample setting, input, stereo and mirror checks. Every run
restored the original power settings, removed its recovery timer and released
its own lock with no cleanup errors. The [numeric summary](framey-vr-standby-gate-2026-10-26.json)
records all three outcomes.
The intermittent hidden-overlay condition remains a reliability limit. The
runner now records a small read-only diagnostic and refuses to send synthetic
input if the overlay stays hidden after its focus retry. A successful Chromium
panel alone is not treated as VR visibility.
At 02:07 UTC, a fourth combined-head run with a bounded overlay wait passed
without a focus retry. The sample setting/input and stereo checks passed; power
settings were restored, the recovery timer was removed, and the owned lock was
released. This single pass does not prove that the wait eliminates intermittent
hidden overlays. Battery changed from 100% to 99% during the run.

# Linux PC host feasibility on lxso2, 2026-10-24
**Blocked on this host's current desktop environment. No feature enabled and
no feature PR opened.** Investigation for [issue #23](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/issues/23),
starting at `4e45648` (main after #154). This concerns flat desktop panels,
not Linux PC VR streaming.
## Decision
The smallest useful candidate is one explicitly selected **whole screen**,
captured through the ScreenCast portal's restricted PipeWire connection,
encoded locally with GStreamer/x264, and sent to the existing viewer through
the shared SSH controller. Input, individual windows and virtual displays
would remain unsupported until separately verified. This candidate was **not
implemented**: lxso2 currently cannot exercise the real capture permission path.
Development packages could unblock compilation, but would not create a desktop,
portal backend or consented screen. Synthetic encoding, an Xvfb screen grab or
using the Frame as its own host would not verify Linux PC desktop capture.
No host packages or services were changed.
## Evidence
Host: `lxso2`, Linux x86-64, kernel `6.8.0-139-generic`.
- `DISPLAY`, `WAYLAND_DISPLAY` and `XDG_SESSION_TYPE` were unset. The user bus
was reachable at `/run/user/1000/bus`.
- `/run/user/1000/pipewire-0` and `/run/user/1000/wayland-0` did not exist.
No processes matched Xorg, Xwayland, Xvfb, GNOME Shell, KWin Wayland, Weston,
PipeWire, WirePlumber or xdg-desktop-portal at the process check.
- D-Bus `ListNames` returned D-Bus, systemd and anonymous connections, with no
`org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop`. `ListActivatableNames` also had no desktop
portal. These calls queried D-Bus itself without activating capture services.
- `dpkg-query` found no `xdg-desktop-portal*` or `pipewire*` packages.
`libgstreamer1.0-0:amd64` was installed at `1.24.2-1ubuntu0.1`, but
`gstreamer1.0-tools` was uninstalled. `gst-launch-1.0` and `gst-inspect-1.0`
were absent from PATH. Xvfb was installed, but supplies no portal by itself.
- `pkg-config --modversion` failed for `gstreamer-1.0`,
`gstreamer-app-1.0`, `gstreamer-video-1.0` and `libpipewire-0.3`.
`gio-unix-2.0` reported `2.80.0`.
- `desktop/bundle/pc-host.so` did not exist.
`python3 desktop/build.py --with-x264 --out /tmp/frame-linux-pc-feasibility`
exited **1** before compilation: required GStreamer pkg-config modules were
missing. No native build or encoder runtime success is claimed.
Reproduce the non-activating portal checks in the intended desktop user's
session, using that session's actual runtime directory and bus:
```sh
gdbus call --session --dest org.freedesktop.DBus \
--object-path /org/freedesktop/DBus --method org.freedesktop.DBus.ListNames
gdbus call --session --dest org.freedesktop.DBus \
--object-path /org/freedesktop/DBus --method org.freedesktop.DBus.ListActivatableNames
pkg-config --modversion gstreamer-1.0 gstreamer-app-1.0 gstreamer-video-1.0 gio-unix-2.0
```
## Existing implementation reviewed
- `ui/frame_pcview.py` selects PCView only on Windows and rejects Linux even
when enabled. Linux installers do not carry its native bundle.
- `desktop/portal.c` creates a **RemoteDesktop** session, requests pointer and
keyboard devices, and selects monitors and windows (`types=3`). It is not
ScreenCast-only or screen-only. Its restricted fd/node and fresh-connection
handling are reusable.
- `ui/frame_pc_agent.py` calls the selection a shared window or screen and
picks VA-API when the element is present, falling back to x264. A bounded
x264 slice needs explicit encoder policy and unsupported-input behavior;
exposing the existing Linux path alone would not meet that scope.
- `app/main.js` starts Python with the inherited environment; it does not
supply a compositor, portal backend or capture permission.
- `.github/workflows/pc-host.yml` installs native dependencies and tests
synthetic x264/protocol behavior with fake capture consent/input. This does
not establish interactive Linux desktop capture.
- Issue #23 and its six existing comments distinguish prior synthetic
helper/viewer results from untested Linux desktop capture and consent.
## Verification and limits
`python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p 'test_pc*.py' -v` exited **0**:
27 tests ran successfully, with one additional native-class setup skip
(`native PC libraries not built on this host`). Coverage includes the compiled
C controller trace, Python adapters, grants and default-off/Windows-only gates.
It does not prove native GStreamer capture or local-client streaming.
No fake/local native stream, consent prompt, real desktop capture, Frame viewer
run, benchmark, input or window mode was tested in this investigation. No SSH
connection to the Frame was needed; no lock was acquired and no headset install,
launch, stop or settings change was attempted. Issue #113 was left alone.
No issue comments or other public messages were sent.
## Concrete unblock and next slice
1. Supply an interactive Linux desktop, physical or VM, with a working
ScreenCast portal/backend, PipeWire and accessible consent dialog. Installing
the portal frontend alone is insufficient. A VM can establish software
capture/x264 behavior while physical-host behavior remains unverified.
2. Install the native dependencies listed in `pc-host.yml` in that environment
and build a local `--with-x264` bundle. Resolve x264 distribution
licensing/source obligations before shipping it: the current build labels
that option test-only and the Windows installer omits it.
3. Implement a ScreenCast-only session with monitor-only selection, no
RemoteDesktop/device request, disabled input in protocol and viewer, hidden
window/virtual-display modes, and explicit x264 selection. Preserve the
default-off gate and existing Mac/Windows paths.
4. Verify consent acceptance/refusal/cancellation, Stop/reopen, connection loss
and portal closure with a local client decoding actual captured content.
Run the shared benchmark and record results without inferring hardware or
physical laser behavior.
5. Only after local capture works, acquire the shared Frame lock once and
follow [the headset procedure](../testing.md#headset-smoke-test) for a brief
viewer test. If occupied, leave the lock alone and defer device testing.
These are prerequisites and proposed scope, not a ready feature. The Linux
host request in #23 remains open.

# Physical Mac desktop check, 26 October 2026
Host: **MacBook Air (MacBookAir9,1), Intel Core i3 1.1 GHz, macOS 15.7.7
(24G720), x86_64**. This is physical hardware. The console is an unattended
server with display/automation restrictions. No Apple Silicon runtime result
is inferred from this test.
**Follow-up:** the official v0.4.39 Intel installer later launched on this Air.
See the [released-build test](mac-v0439-2026-10-26.md); the results below remain
the earlier ARM64 failure and separate candidate test.
## Released installers: verified, installed, cannot run on Intel
GitHub's latest release was v0.4.35 at the start; v0.4.36 became latest during
the check. Each DMG and its SHA256SUMS were downloaded from that exact release
with `gh release download`. Both passed `shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS
--ignore-missing` (only the downloaded asset was checked):
| Release | Asset | SHA-256 |
|---|---|---|
| v0.4.35 | Frame-Control-mac-arm64.dmg | `eda670748679ca02fcf242870cd53954b22cf8b93af47a193c9903bd08a8334f` |
| v0.4.36 | Frame-Control-mac-arm64.dmg | `4d13068f0cfd3616823d63c82333afa7e368c1d57d375e9564f5f7ed4f0ebbd7` |
Each read-only DMG was mounted with `hdiutil attach -readonly -nobrowse`.
There was no existing `/Applications/Frame Control.app`; the app was copied
there with `ditto`, the command-line equivalent of the DMG's drag to
Applications. `open "/Applications/Frame Control.app"` returned exactly:
> The application cannot be opened because it has an incorrect executable format.
`file` identified the executable as `Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64`.
`codesign -dv` identified an ad hoc signature with no TeamIdentifier. The
v0.4.35 `spctl -a -vv` assessment returned `rejected`. The v0.4.36 assessment
stalled and is not counted as a completed assessment.
**No Gatekeeper warning dialog was observed.** LaunchServices rejected the
architecture first. The CLI download had no `com.apple.quarantine` attribute,
so this was not a browser-quarantine test. Neither right-click Open, Open
Anyway nor removing quarantine was tested. On this Intel Mac there is no
honest opening workaround for either released ARM64 app. Rosetta does not
run ARM64 apps on Intel. The README now separates that fact from Apple's
recommended Open Anyway flow for compatible Macs and labels the latter
unverified here. No global Gatekeeper setting was changed.
## Separate Intel candidate: partial native runtime pass
[PR #262](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/262), commit `6ea9eb2`,
adds native x64 DMG/ZIP builds, pinned x64 Python, an x86_64 Swift helper, and
CI architecture checks. Swift 6.2.4 rejected an ambiguous
`Data.withUnsafeMutableBytes` overload in the helper; an explicit
`UnsafeMutableRawBufferPointer` annotation compiled successfully on this Air.
`npm run dist:mac:x64` completed locally, producing an ad hoc signed app,
ZIP and DMG. The unpacked candidate was copied to
`/Applications/Frame Control Intel Test.app` and launched with telemetry off,
a task-local server data directory and a temporary loopback debug port.
This is **not** the published v0.4.36 binary.
The first launch stalled for several minutes before app code ran. A process
sample showed only `_dyld_start`, a 12 KiB footprint and no loaded image
list, while `syspolicyd` used about 89% CPU. It later proceeded without any
system-service restart; the app window and server loaded. The initial stall
is a host observation, not proof of a Frame Control bug. Restarting that
security daemon was rejected by automatic approval review, and was not done.
| Check | Observed result and limit |
|---|---|
| Native window and IPC bridge | The Electron renderer displayed Apps and the offline identity warning; `window.frameApp` was present. Native renderer inspected through its temporary loopback CDP port; this does not prove every macOS permission dialog or physical click |
| Settings | Native preference read returned `{}`. Writing `mvSeparate="0"` read back correctly. The original preference file was restored byte-for-byte (or removed when originally absent) in a finally block. Persistence across an app restart is not claimed |
| Open at Login | Source is opt-in and focused login-item tests passed. Native menu read via System Events timed out; an OS login session and actual checkbox state remain unverified. No login item was enabled |
| Logs | `~/Library/Logs/Frame Control/server.log` exists. Its startup line proves the candidate used `Contents/Resources/python/bin/python3` and its bundled `ui/server.py`; HTTP reads and offline failures were logged. Show Server Log menu interaction was not verified |
| Update check | Actual `frameApp.update.check()` completed with `status="none"`, `current="0.4.36"`, latest `0.4.36`, and `error=null`. No update was installed; native dialog dismissal was not verified |
| OBS setup and lifecycle | Native status reported supported/idle, Start on port 15123 reported starting, Stop reported stopping, then idle. The Frame's SSH identity rejection prevented a headset stream. This checks local lifecycle only: no OBS app, audio/video delivery or receiver tested |
| Decky store | The exact released UI/server resources, separately served by this Mac's existing Python 3.9.6, loaded 116 official entries in local Chromium. Forty rows rendered; searching ProtonDB found ProtonDB Badges 1.3.4; all Install buttons stayed disabled while offline. No loader or plugin was installed. [Browser screenshot](mac-decky-browser-2026-10-26.png) |
| Other UI | Released Apps, Settings, Privacy & updates, Tools, Capture & Live and Decky views rendered. The privacy page correctly reported telemetry blocked by `FRAME_CONTROL_TELEMETRY=0`; sharing/contact choices were left alone. The activity log displayed the offline failure. The browser path hides native OBS buttons as designed; it is not a substitute for the native lifecycle check above |
| Framey preview | No standalone local preview control was found in the desktop UI. The Framey panel belongs to the headset runtime; no VR or plugin-backend result is claimed |
The released server refused a stale SSH host identity rather than silently
trusting it. That safety check was preserved; no host pin was replaced just
to make the test pass. Capture, media, game launches, power controls, installs,
sign-ins and notifications were not triggered without a working connection.
## Headset: read-only relay checks, no changes
`frame.local` resolved on the Air, but direct TCP/SSH did not connect. The
coordinator host lxso2 could reach it. The app's read-only `frame_status.py`
was piped through lxso2 to the Frame and returned:
- SteamOS **0.5.6**, build **20261022.6153909**, variant `vr`.
- Battery **99%, Charging**.
- Home storage: 996,984,774,656 bytes total, 769,023,275,008 bytes free.
- A read-only search counted **14** Steam screenshot JPEGs; none was copied.
The shared `/tmp/frame-test.lock` was owned by another Framey test on each
check. This job did not acquire, remove or replace it. File upload/delete,
OBS on the device and every other headset mutation were skipped. These relay
reads do not prove the native Mac app's direct SSH or file-transfer path.
The headset was never wiped or rebooted.
## Validation and follow-up
A disposable Linux checkout of exact commit `6ea9eb2` on lxso2 passed:
**1,590 server tests (16 skipped)** and **46 app tests**. On the physical Air,
**14 focused login-item/preferences/OBS tests** and **18 website tests** passed.
Full Mac server/release suites were attempted but spawned helper programs
stalled and timed out during the policy-service problem; they are not a pass.
Node 22's complete app run cancelled sign-in tests around an unreferenced
timeout; the exact same app suite passed on lxso2. CI uses Node 24.
Required next steps: pass exact-head Mac packaging/architecture CI, publish
an Intel asset through coordinator job mppkd9qczt, then repeat a normal
browser-download/quarantine installation of that release on this Air. Verify
Open Anyway and Open at Login through an authorized interactive console.
Acquire the shared headset lock before a temporary transfer or real OBS test.
Preserve all unverified labels until those checks actually pass. PR #113 was
not changed. No social post was made.

# Official Intel Mac release test, 26 October 2026
Physical **MacBookAir9,1, Intel Core i3 1.1 GHz, macOS 15.7.7 (24G720)**.
The earlier ARM64 failure led to [#262](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/262),
now merged. This test uses the published **v0.4.39**, tag `fd0b0a9`, rather
than the locally built candidate. [Earlier results](mac-desktop-2026-10-26.md)
remain a separate historical record.
## Download, installation and Gatekeeper observations
Downloaded `Frame-Control-mac-x64.dmg` and its same-release `SHA256SUMS`
with `gh release download`. `shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing`
passed for the downloaded asset:
```text
f47b5a188b5090f97a72467394d4fa65ccc73fe3169a6276e2a32cab5c8019d8 Frame-Control-mac-x64.dmg
```
Also clicked that asset in T3's Chromium browser. Its 169,230,398-byte download
had the same hash. **Neither download had `com.apple.quarantine`.** T3's
browser is not evidence of Safari/Chrome download metadata.
Mounted the verified CLI DMG read-only, preserved the task's earlier ARM64
installation, and copied `Frame Control.app` into `/Applications` with `ditto`
(the command-line equivalent of dragging it there). The executable is x86_64;
`codesign -dv` reports ad hoc signing. `open "/Applications/Frame Control.app"`
returned success and the app started its bundled Python server.
**No Gatekeeper warning dialog was observed.** `spctl --assess --type execute
-vv "/Applications/Frame Control.app"` returned exit 3 and exactly:
```text
/Applications/Frame Control.app: rejected
```
Opening this unquarantined copy needed no override. This does not establish
the warning or opening steps for a quarantined browser download. The README
keeps Apple's Open Anyway guidance, explicitly unverified here. No quarantine
attribute was removed and no global security setting was changed. System
Events inspection timed out; an AppleEvent quit request returned “User
cancelled” (-128). Native console/menu automation remains unavailable.
## Official native app results
After the normal launch, a second run disabled telemetry, used a task-local
server data directory and enabled a temporary loopback renderer debug port.
The app bundle was not patched. The following checks used its real renderer
and `window.frameApp` IPC bridge; they are not physical mouse/menu tests.
| Check | Result and limit |
|---|---|
| UI | Apps, Games, Tools, Settings, Privacy & updates, Capture and Decky views rendered with the expected headings. The activity log showed the stale SSH identity warning. [Native Apps screenshot](mac-v0439-native-2026-10-26.png) |
| Settings | Initial native preferences were `{}`. `mvSeparate="0"` saved and read back, including after a real app restart. The original preferences file was restored byte-for-byte in `finally` (or removed if originally absent) |
| Open at Login | Still opt-in in source; no login item was enabled. Actual menu checkbox and OS login behavior remain unverified because native automation was unavailable |
| Logs | `~/Library/Logs/Frame Control/server.log` recorded startup with the installed app's `Contents/Resources/python/bin/python3` and `ui/server.py`. Show Server Log menu interaction remains unverified |
| Update check | Native check returned current/latest `0.4.39`, status `none`, error `null`. No update installed |
| OBS | Native Start on port 15123 returned `starting`; Stop returned `stopping`, then `idle`. This was offline: no OBS receiver or real headset audio/video |
| Decky store | Native Load store returned 116 entries; 40 initial rows rendered. Search found ProtonDB Badges 1.3.4 and its compatibility text. Install remained disabled; no plugin/loader installed |
| Framey preview | No standalone local Framey preview control found. No VR runtime result claimed |
Closing the app through `window.close()` stopped its processes and closed
the debug port. **The final shutdown log exposed a bug:** stdin EOF and the
app's SIGTERM can overlap, raising `KeyboardInterrupt` while cleanup is
installing its ignore handler. Cleanup can then stop before releasing staging
or SSH resources. [#284](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/284)
changes SIGTERM to request HTTP shutdown without raising into cleanup.
The regression test injects SIGTERM at that exact cleanup boundary. On this
physical Mac with the official app's bundled Python 3.12, it failed before
the fix with exit -2 and the observed traceback. After the fix, all **45
server integration tests** passed, including owned staging-file cleanup.
This validates source from the fix PR, not a fixed published app.
## Headset relay and small transfer
`frame.local` resolved but TCP 22 returned **No route to host**. The native
app refused a stale SSH identity; no pin was replaced. The trusted lxso2
coordinator relay could reach the Frame. Both shared locks were absent.
The relay test atomically created `/tmp/frame-test.lock` on the coordinator
and the headset, each with this job's owner marker. It then:
- Read battery **99%, Not charging** before and after; storage total
**996,984,774,656 bytes**, free **769,077,035,008 bytes**.
- Listed **7** Steam screenshot JPEGs matching
`userdata/*/760/remote/*/screenshots/*.jpg`; no image was copied. This narrower
layout-specific count differs from the earlier broad JPEG search.
- Sent a **40-byte** test payload from this Mac through lxso2, created one
reserved file in the Frame user's home using exclusive creation, and read
it back. SHA-256 matched
`457485db13f80d819d5301d337502c3df050c6b3eb6202be7aac85d2af8e0b92`.
- Deleted that exact test file and released only the matching owned locks.
A separate SSH read verified the file and both locks were absent.
This proves a bounded relay transfer, not native Mac app file transfer or
direct `frame.local` connectivity. No existing headset file, app, service,
power setting or SteamVR state was changed. The headset was not wiped or
rebooted. Real OBS and wearer/controller interaction remain unverified.
The DMG was ejected; the native app, debug port and task browser tab were
closed; the desk hold was released. The official app remains installed for
reproduction. No social post was made; PR #113 was left alone.

# Media surround hardening: 2026-10-24
PR [#51](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/51), branch
`theatre-media-surround-hardening`, merged main `2ded4c5` without rebasing.
Both fixes remain necessary on that main: an optional-surround error escapes
`play()`, and a non-`RuntimeError` during overlay teardown skips the remaining
handles and OpenVR shutdown.
## Offline checks
- Focused media suite: **23 tests passed** on Linux / Python 3.12.3.
- Final full suite: **1,381 tests, OK (15 skipped)** in 145.384 s with
`PYTHONFAULTHANDLER=1 python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v`.
The service-regression module passed **33 tests**. Player/server compilation
and `git diff --check` passed. Current macOS/Windows validation is left to CI.
- The startup/upload, creation/setup, deferred-surround refusal and teardown
regression tests were also run with main's player implementation: they
failed as expected (six errors across subtests). The screen-refusal test
passed, confirming that actual screen failures still propagate.
- The historical macOS failure was job
[109239733717](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/actions/runs/36516462623/job/109239733717),
on `dac9dbc`, Python 3.12: 619 tests, three failures in artwork resolver
tests (`test_resolver_slot_released_when_thread_cannot_start`,
`test_timed_out_lookups_are_capped`,
`test_url_fetch_refuses_private_hosts_and_honours_deadline`). Media tests
passed. Late DNS workers retained semaphore slots; the first failed
assertion could also leak acquired slots into later tests.
- Main already contains `8051687`'s wait-for-idle and unconditional slot
cleanup, preserved by `d546568`. The current artwork module passed all
**40 tests** locally. No additional artwork changes were needed.
- The first full run completed **1,380 tests, 15 skipped**, with one failure:
`test_a_second_server_is_refused_until_the_first_exits` observed SIGSEGV
(`-11`) instead of exit 1. All 41 server tests passed on a focused rerun.
Main started daemon index/TLS workers before refusing a second server;
its existing shutdown notes document a race with OpenSSL interpreter exit.
This crash mechanism is inferred; the first run did not retain a native
fault trace. The subprocess assertion now retains stderr for diagnosis.
A deterministic regression now checks that rejection starts no listener,
cleanup sweep or background workers. It failed before moving the ownership
check ahead of startup work and passed afterwards.
The surround retry now logs a refusal before discarding that cosmetic work.
Creation, setup and first-upload failures also allow the screen to play;
standby remains retryable, and screen errors remain fatal. Teardown tests
exercise OpenVR errors, unexpected exceptions and a late `InterruptedError`,
checking that all handles are attempted and shutdown runs.
## Earlier blocked real Frame attempt
Read-only SSH preflight: SteamOS **0.5.6**, BUILD_ID **20261015.6141207**;
SteamVR server PID **297506**, compositor PID **297620**; existing media
service `inactive/dead`, MainPID 0; battery **99%**, fuel gauge `Not charging`,
charger `Full`. The shared lock was absent at preflight.
The subsequent atomic `mkdir /tmp/frame-test.lock` failed with
`FileExistsError(17, 'File exists')`: another session acquired it in between.
The probe stopped before uploading files, launching media, creating overlays,
or changing any state. The foreign lock was neither modified nor released.
All generated fixtures remained on the computer and were then removed; no
headset cleanup was necessary. Steam/SteamVR and the prior player state were
left alone.
## Follow-up real Frame smoke at the exact PR head
**Passed, 2026-10-24 10:35:02–10:35:23 UTC**, with byte-identical media modules
from **`5d551a81658d9ff14f49285c28609d506cbc20aa`**. This later run resolves
the earlier lack of fresh playback evidence. No production code changed.
The headset was unworn. SteamOS **0.5.6**, BUILD_ID **20261015.6141207**,
SteamVR **2.18.2**; battery **100%, Full** before and after.
Read-only preflight found Game Mode (`XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP=gamescope`,
`start-gamescope` running, no `plasmashell`), Steam/SteamVR running, no media
overlays, and the installed media service inactive/not loaded. The test then
acquired `/tmp/frame-test.lock` with atomic `mkdir`; it did not take over a
foreign lock. Under the lock, those safety conditions were checked again.
Only generated media and the PR's four unchanged modules were uploaded, under
the test-owned, uid-1000 directory
`/tmp/pr51-5d551a8-4c0976a52564-utfbk_m0/`. The clip was a **12 s, 30 fps,
960×540 half-SBS H.264** MP4 with solid red/cyan eye images and **silent AAC**.
It was generated with FFmpeg's `color`, `hstack` and `anullsrc` sources; no
personal or external media was used.
The exact `frame_media_remote.run()` Play/status/Stop path was exercised by
importing its unmodified module and changing only its in-memory `ROOT`,
`RUNTIME`, `STATUS` and `UNIT` constants to the isolated test locations and
`frame-control-media-pr51-5d551a8-4c0976a52564.service`. The real
`frame_media_player.py` ran unchanged with `--layout auto --theatre`, using
`h264_v4l2m2m` and Pulse output. This checks the player and its systemd lifecycle;
it does **not** reverify the HTTP/UI upload or runtime installer, nor the
literal production unit name. The installed media runtime, log, status and
library were preserved.
- First Play: `starting` → `playing` → **`ended`**, **360 frames**, **160 dropped**,
**12.0397 s**, `running=false`. The drops were the normal unworn/standby
`SetOverlayRaw` retry path; no fault was forced. At 60 frames, dropped was 0.
`vrcmd --overlays` listed `framecontrol.media.surround` as **1×1 visible**
and `framecontrol.media.screen` as **visible**. These are SteamVR metadata,
not a wearer or eye-capture verification.
- After EOF: unit **inactive/dead, not-found, MainPID 0**, no test player or
decoder, and neither owned overlay remained. Stop after EOF succeeded and
retained `ended`.
- Second Play reached `playing`, 60 frames, 0 dropped. Explicit Stop returned
**`stopped`, 72 frames, 0 dropped, `running=false`**. Again the unit was
inactive/dead/not-found with MainPID 0, no player/decoder and no owned overlays.
- The test unit's `ExecStart` and cgroup identified the unique temporary
runtime. First-run player/decoder PIDs were **309650/309655**; second-run
PIDs were **309805/309810**. Stop controlled only this dedicated test unit.
Its player log was empty; no surround refusal or teardown error was logged.

```
### Cleanup and limits
The temporary directory, including its fixture, code, bytecode, status and log,
was removed only after verifying that its player and decoder had exited. The
transient unit was collected. The test released only its own lock after cleanup.
All installed media runtime file hashes, including `player.log` and
`status.json`, were unchanged. The installed `frame-control-media.service`
remained inactive/not loaded. Steam **297826**, vrserver **297506**,
vrcompositor **297620**, vrdashboard **297721**, and start-gamescope **296997**
kept the same PIDs. The pre-existing overlay key/dimension/visibility/type
inventory matched the final inventory, and all dashboard main panels remained
`not_visible`. No dashboard command, wake request, global setting, reboot or
Steam/SteamVR stop was issued.
Cosmetic surround refusal and exceptional teardown remain **fake-tested**;
no real refusal or teardown fault was induced. This short unworn-headset
smoke does not verify appearance, eye isolation, comfort, audible sound/lip
sync (the AAC was silent), sustained display performance, or the issue #28
report of laggy 1080p video. It does not cover new H.265, photo or splat cases.
Historical checks remain in the earlier PR #51 description and
[media playback notes](../vr-video.md). The PR remains draft and unmerged
for parent review and CI.

# UEVR from Frame Control, 2026-09-29
**Verified observations**, with limits below. Same device and software as
[2026-09-28](mods-2026-09-28.md): aarch64, SteamOS `0.4.1`, BUILD_ID
`20260925.6191901`, Proton `11.0-2c` ARM64, SteamVR `2.18.1`. Times are the
Frame's AEST clock. Headset tests ran under the shared
`/tmp/frame-test.lock`, taken 11:13–11:28, 11:33–11:49, 12:02–12:40,
12:44–12:52 and 13:01–13:03. Battery 45 % →
93 %, on charge throughout.
**Not observed:** the VR image, head tracking and controller input. SteamVR
reported `activity_level` 3 (user interaction timeout; the headset was not
being worn) with `average_target_fps` 1. Every `frame_vrshot.py` stereo
capture was a uniform dark frame. Frame submits prove the app is presenting
to SteamVR, not that the image is correct.
## Manual injection (11:13–11:28)
Game launched with `steam steam://rungameid/1067310`. `UEVRInjector.exe` was
started with the game process's Wine variables, and its WPF window drew
through DXVK's D3D9. It listed `Drop-Win64-Shipping (pid: 320) (SkyArk
(64-bit, PCD3D_SM5))`, a Wine-side process id.
- `--attach=Drop-Win64-Shipping` didn't inject. The button still read
**Inject**, and the saved `OpenVRRadio=True` in `AppData/Local/praydog/…/user.config`
was not restored on the next start.
- XTest clicks landed on the game: `XQueryPointer` reported child
`0x2000001` (the game) at the injector's coordinates, and
`XLowerWindow`/`XRaiseWindow`/`XSetInputFocus` didn't change that.
- `XSendEvent` button events to the injector window worked. After OpenVR and
Inject, `/proc/<game>/maps` contained
`drive_c/frame26/uevr/UEVRBackend.dll` and `openvr_api.dll`, next to
Proton's `vrclient_x64.dll`. UEVR's log:
```text
[11:17:32.948] Hooking D3D11
[11:17:33.020] Hooked DirectX 11
[11:17:34.263] Framework initialized
[11:17:34.475] [VR] Requested runtime: openvr_api.dll
[11:17:39.791] UGameViewportClient::Draw called for the first time.
[11:17:39.792] is stereo enabled called!
```
It also logged repeated `Failed to initialize Framework on DirectX 12` (probing
before it chose D3D11) and failed Unreal scans, for example `Failed to locate
r.EnableStereoEmulation cvar` and `Failed to find FSceneView constructor`.
SteamVR loaded UEVR's action manifest and `bindings_oculus_touch.json` for
`steam.app.1067310`. `vrcmd --stats` then showed `"key" :
"steam.app.1067310"` with `frame_submits` 4439, then 5506 a few seconds later.
A second session's injector exited within about 20 seconds. The third,
started fresh, injected again (`frame_submits` 1412). After the game was
stopped, a plain launch had no UEVR modules and no SteamVR scene app. All test
files were removed.
## Through Frame Control (11:33–11:49)
Local `ui/server.py` against the `frame` alias. First the API, then the
page's **VR mod** dialog, driven with a headless Chromium:
| Step | Result |
|---|---|
| `status` for 2177750 (HL2 VR) | `eligible: false`; `install` refused ("doesn't look like an Unreal Engine game") |
| `install` for 1067310 | 3 s. Three downloads, hashes matched, receipt written |
| `start`, game running | First run refused: `the UEVR window is 960 px wide, not 625`. It was measured before WPF laid it out; `start` now waits for the width to settle. Rerun: injected, `frame_submits` 27 (36 s) |
| `uninstall` while running | Refused: "the game is running; quit it first" |
| `start`, game not running | Launched the game, injected, `frame_submits` 45 (55 s) |
| UI: Remove, Install | Worked; the prefix listing matched its pre-install state except an empty `UnrealVRMod`, which uninstall now also removes |
| UI: Play in VR | Failed once: the injector died with `Process terminated. … Resource name: Arg_AccessViolationException`, after `Fontconfig error: No writable cache directories` (it had no `HOME`). Fixed by keeping the normal environment under the game's (the relaunch-on-failure added next is gone with the GUI injector; see below) |
| UI: Play in VR ×4 | 4 of 4 injected. The three cold starts took 54, 58 and 58 s; frame submits 56, 71, 80 |
| UI: Remove | `drive_c`, `AppData/Roaming` and `AppData/Local` listings matched the pre-install state; download cache and receipt gone |
## The GUI injector wasn't reliable (12:02–12:40)
After review fixes, cold starts through the API with UEVR's own injector:
- Batches of 4, 6 and 8 runs: 3/4, 4/6 and 6/8 injected. A retry that
relaunched the injector didn't rescue a bad session. In both failures of
the last batch, the first injector ignored the clicks and the next two
never showed a window within 60 s.
- Captures of the ignoring injector (`xwd`) showed its first-drawn frame,
with OpenVR still unselected. The injector's log had no error.
Lock released at 12:40 before redesigning.
## Frame Control's own injector (12:44–12:52)
`start` now runs `frame_inject.py` under python.org's embeddable Python
3.14.7 (SHA-256 `d297e5ff…1f15`, matching python.org's release-file API), in
the game's Wine session. The old install was removed and the new one
installed without the headset lock, since neither launches anything. The
prefix listing after removal matched the pre-install state; the new install
is 47 MB.
| Step | Result |
|---|---|
| API `start`, cold | Injected in 35 s, `frame_submits` 39. UEVR log: `Hooked DirectX 11`, `Framework initialized`, `Requested runtime: openvr_api.dll`; `config.txt` has `Frontend_RequestedRuntime=openvr_api.dll` |
| API `start` ×8, cold | **8/8** injected, 33–34 s each; `frame_submits` 33–42 at the check |
| UI: dialog while running | "UEVR is running in the game now." Remove disabled (screenshot in `docs/img/uevr-dialog.png`) |
| UI: Remove → Install → Play in VR → Remove | Each worked; Play in VR injected (`frame_submits` 106 a few seconds later) |
| After the last Remove | `drive_c`, `AppData/Roaming` and `AppData/Local` listings matched the pre-install state; download cache and receipts gone; no game or `python.exe` processes. The empty `/tmp/frame-control-mods.lock` was deleted by hand (tmpfs) |
Battery 98–100 % on charge. Lock released at 12:52.
## After the second review (13:01–13:03)
`frame_inject.py` now declares every Win32 signature, checks each result,
frees its remote buffers and closes its handles; uninstall accepts only our
folder and UEVR's own settings folders. Rechecked: install; three cold starts
injected in 35, 34 and 33 s (`frame_submits` 42, 38, 47), UEVR logging
`Framework initialized` and `Requested runtime: openvr_api.dll`; uninstall
left `drive_c`, `AppData/Roaming` and `AppData/Local` as before, with no cache,
receipts or processes. Frame Control's injector total: 12 of 12 cold starts
through the API, plus the UI run.
## Left on the Frame
- Gravitas (free, 7.4 GB, installed 2026-09-28 for this work) is still
installed; nothing else from this work is left.
- No `UEVRInjector.exe` or game processes were left running. Steam and
SteamVR were running at the end.
- The test lock was released at 13:03.

# OBS relay and MP4 follow-up, 25 October 2026 UTC
This check used a Linux x86-64 host (`lxso2`) and the real Frame running
SteamOS 0.5.6, build `20261022.6153909`. The host reached `ssh frame`. Before
device work, the task atomically acquired `/tmp/frame-test.lock`, wrote its
owner marker, and after cleanup removed only that marker and its lock. Battery
was 99–100%; SteamVR 2.18.2 reported `activity_level: 3` (standby). Steam and
SteamVR were left running. No passthrough session or game was started.
The production `scripts/obs-headset-source.py` relay reached its first local
UDP packet in 0.65–1.15 seconds across several runs. A 12-second wall-clock
capture of its MPEG-TS packets contained 325 H.264 frames at 1280×720,
spanning 10.83 seconds of video timestamps: 30.0 fps. All 324 adjacent frame
intervals were 33.333–33.334 ms, with none over 50 ms. The 826 captured TS
packets had zero sync-byte, transport-error-indicator, or per-PID continuity
errors. Six final TS packets arrived after the receiver's 12-second cutoff and
were not included in those counts. Static standby pixels cannot establish
whether a moving game would drop frames.
After the fix, the `--height 1080 --fps 60 --no-audio` fallback reached its
first packet in 0.597 seconds. An eight-second wall-clock capture contained
447 H.264 frames at 1920×1080 over 7.45 seconds of video timestamps: 60.0 fps.
All frame intervals were 16.666–16.667 ms, none over 25 ms, and its 756 TS
packets had zero continuity or transport-error-indicator errors. It had no
audio stream, as requested. The helper exited 0 on Stop, and the owned lock
was released.
The stream also contained 48 kHz stereo AAC. A 440 Hz synthetic tone played
through the Frame's default speaker output with real-time pacing appeared in
the capture for about 0.89 seconds; decoded audio had a -21.0 dB peak. This
proves an audio signal reached the output monitor and OBS transport. It does
not prove audible monitoring, real game audio, or audio/video sync: there was
no simultaneous visible marker to compare with the tone.
The production MP4 recording commands were run separately for six seconds,
then Stop, remux, and copy to the host completed. Stop returned after 7.27
seconds from Start, including six seconds of recording; the remote ffmpeg
exited 0. The copied 36,929-byte MP4 contained 188 H.264 frames at 1920×1080
and 30 fps (6.266 seconds), plus 281 AAC packets (5.994 seconds). One decoded
frame at two seconds had a single color, RGB `(22, 27, 53)`, across all
2,073,600 pixels. The test's remote files were removed; the host copy stayed
under `/tmp` for inspection.
The relay previously returned an error when the app deliberately closed its
control pipe, because its SSH child commonly exits 255 after termination.
The same test reproduced this (`helper_exit: 1`) on the real Frame. The follow-up
fix recognizes deliberate Stop and adds bounded startup and stall timeouts,
with fake-SSH regression tests. A new locked real-Frame check after the fix
received its first 1,316-byte UDP datagram in 0.697 seconds and returned
`helper_exit_after_stop: 0` after closing the app control pipe. The longer
transport and MP4 measurements above were taken before the code change; the
fix does not alter codecs or capture commands.
Prior [OBS 30 Media Source evidence](obs-media-source-real-2026-10-25.md)
records a real Frame stream in OBS on Linux. This follow-up measured the relay
with an FFmpeg receiver; OBS itself was not relaunched. Windows and macOS
application paths, wearer-visible image latency, real game sound, audible
playback, perceptual A/V sync, and active passthrough pixels remain unverified.

# OBS Media Source on a real Frame, 2026-10-25 AEDT
The Linux x86_64 AppImage from PR #174's exact head `69fff152` had SHA-256
`4902ac80b77fbf98ec918db29df9cf9260b8abd6763a5b5055572335869f038a`.
Its extracted resources passed `app/build/check-resources.js`, including the
OBS helper, and the app launched under Xvfb with an isolated profile and a
dummy SSH alias. Its bundled server served the page with HTTP 200.
For the device test, the PC was lxso2. The real Frame was reached as `ssh frame`
under an atomically acquired `/tmp/frame-test.lock`. Battery read 100% Full
before and after. SteamVR 2.18.2 reported `activity_level: 3` (standby). The
mirror service and `/dev/video99` were active. The test cleaned its temporary
remote WAV and released only its own lock.
OBS 30.0.2 ran in a disposable Ubuntu 24.04 container on lxso2, with Xvfb and
host loopback networking. A Media Source opened `udp://127.0.0.1:15099` with
input format `mpegts`. A synthetic pattern and tone first verified the OBS
scene: its saved 43.733-second MKV had H.264 video and AAC audio with a
`-17.9 dB` audio peak. The real Frame test then ran the helper from the
extracted AppImage resources **before** OBS opened the source, so OBS joined
an ongoing stream. OBS's saved 37.600-second MKV had H.264 video and AAC audio.
The standby mirror appeared in decoded frames by five seconds. A 440 Hz tone
played briefly to the Frame's default PulseAudio output appeared in the OBS
audio recording at seconds 20–21; decoded audio peaked at `-34.4 dB`. A
separate direct recording of `@DEFAULT_MONITOR@` during the same type of tone
peaked at `-34.5 dB`. These measurements verify non-silent headset output
audio passed through the helper and OBS into the saved recording.
The first OBS attempt opened its Media Source well before the Frame sent
packets. Its output had a silent AAC track until the mirror appeared late.
Starting the helper before OBS fixed this in the second run. The setup guide
now recommends starting the source in Frame Control before adding or activating
the OBS Media Source.
The exact-head AppImage was then launched on an isolated Xvfb display and
profile with the real `frame` alias. In **Tools → Capture & Live**, clicking
**Start OBS source** changed the UI to **Stop OBS source** and showed
`udp://127.0.0.1:15099` after the first stream packet. The packaged Python
helper was running with `--frame frame`. Clicking **Stop OBS source** returned
the UI to **Start OBS source**; the helper and its remote `/dev/video99` ffmpeg
process were gone. The app exited through **File → Quit**. Battery again read
100% Full, and the owned lock was released.
**Limits:** Nobody listened to OBS audio monitoring or the Frame speakers.
Audio/video sync was not measured. The headset was unworn and in standby, so
this test does not answer whether active passthrough pixels appear in the
mirror. The OBS MKVs were temporary local test artifacts and are not included
in the repository.

# SteamOS PC OBS host feasibility check, 2026-10-25 UTC
The available x86_64 host, lxso2, runs Ubuntu 24.04.3. It has no `flatpak`
command, OBS installation, SteamOS 3.9.5 VM or physical Steam Machine. This
check therefore does **not** verify that Frame Control or Flatpak OBS runs on
a SteamOS desktop or a read-only-root PC host.
The downloaded v0.4.27 Linux x86_64 AppImage matched GitHub's SHA-256 digest
`42d774653c69b193c3d577743c32b8fe8dfeee7ea1f8cdf7369902962d647b83`.
With `APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN=1`, it launched under Xvfb using an isolated
profile and its bundled server returned HTTP 200. FUSE mounting, physical
display rendering and SteamOS-specific dependencies were not tested.
The v0.4.27 tagged OBS helper then ran against the real Frame under the shared
`/tmp/frame-test.lock`. Frame OS was 0.5.6 and SteamVR activity level was 3
(standby). A receiver bound to `127.0.0.1:15099` on lxso2 accepted 497
MPEG-TS packets, 93,436 bytes. Every datagram had complete 188-byte packets
with sync bytes. `ffprobe` found H.264 video and AAC audio. Closing the
helper's control pipe made it exit 0; no owned remote stream process remained.
Battery read 100% Full before and after, and the owned lock was released. The
temporary `.ts` file was removed. This proves the local UDP sender path on an
Ubuntu host; it does not prove Flatpak OBS could receive it on SteamOS.
The public
[OBS Flatpak manifest](https://github.com/flathub/com.obsproject.Studio/blob/master/com.obsproject.Studio.json)
lists `--share=network`, which permits use of the host network. We read that
manifest but did not install or run the Flatpak. A future check needs a real
SteamOS 3.9.5 desktop host or VM with Flatpak OBS: launch the AppImage without
root changes, start the source, record from the Media Source at
`udp://127.0.0.1:15099`, verify video and audible game audio, then stop and
confirm cleanup. The standby test cannot establish real game audio, A/V sync
or active passthrough in the mirror.
