+# Chunked Framey frontend audit route, 26 October 2026
+
+The local 116-plugin Chromium audit served chunked modules at a route that
+omitted the store receipt, while the production panel requested
+`/framey/module/<id>/<receipt>/<file>`. The audit parsed that receipt as part
+of the file path and returned 404. This made its result for chunked frontends
+weaker than the separate targeted panel checks.
+
+The audit now accepts the production URL shape only when the plugin ID,
+receipt and JavaScript path are valid, the receipt equals the catalog SHA-256,
+and the cached archive bytes match that SHA-256. Invalid IDs, receipts, paths
+and changed archive bytes fail before the module is served. The production
+Framey panel and installer are unchanged.

+ran through the repaired audit in an opaque Chromium iframe. Its entry module
+and all eight JavaScript chunks returned HTTP 200 at receipt-bound URLs. The
+frontend reported ready and called `get_settings`; the audit denied that

+by the audit policy. The previous
+catalog browser observation had failed to resolve `./chunks/...` from a blob
+URL. This check verifies the current audit route and frontend initializer,
+not the official backend or a live shelf.
+
+The focused route regression covers entry and chunk reads plus wrong receipt,
+path traversal, malformed ID and changed archive bytes. The catalog's
+**4 works / 50 partial / 51 broken / 11 N/A** statuses are unchanged. Deck
+Shelves remains partial; installed settings, home-shelf behavior, worn VR and

 Framey now serves JavaScript files from the managed plugin's `dist` directory using hierarchical module URLs. Its opaque `allow-scripts` iframe still has no Frame UI key. Local Chromium received HTTP 200 for the entry and eight chunks, reported the initializer ready, and rendered the settings panel with “Enable shelves on Home,” “Create default shelves,” “Behavior,” and “Shelves.” The browser audit denied the attempted `get_settings` backend call, Steam library read and plugin network access. No backend method executed.

+## Isolated official backend settings check
+
+I verified the same archive digest before loading its unchanged `Deck-Shelves/main.py` in local Python. A stub `decky` module supplied only a logger; `DECKY_PLUGIN_SETTINGS_DIR` and `DECKY_HOME` pointed inside a temporary directory. No Decky service, headset, Steam API, or network call was involved. Calling `_main`, `get_settings`, and `set_settings` returned the default disabled state, saved one shelf named `Local Test`, and returned that shelf from a fresh `Plugin` instance. The temporary directory was removed after the check.

+```json
+{"archiveSha256":"b566280ad38fd3ecd584b5b46a855f301539eb9a86063834c64b7045f7063f91","defaultEnabled":false,"defaultShelves":0,"saveResult":true,"reopenedEnabled":true,"reopenedShelfTitle":"Local Test","settingsFileExists":true}
+```
+
+This proves only the archive's Python settings logic under those local conditions. It does not prove that Decky 3.3.0 can dispatch these methods on the ARM64 Frame, that the opaque panel can save settings through the production bridge, or that a shelf appears on Steam Home or in VR.

+`05208aee6f6ba824391d8ddc81b1168b2599a9711e7528cdaa789f6cc710b42a`.
+It has 23 ZIP entries. Seven names under `free-loader/py_modules/` occur
+twice. Each duplicate pair has identical uncompressed bytes and file type;
+five Python files and `.keep` differ only between mode `0644` and `0755`.
+The directory entry is identical. No path escape, symlink or alternate content
+was accepted.
+
+The installer now accepts an exact duplicate name only when its bytes match
+and its mode differs at most in execute bits. Both desktop validation and the
+headset transaction enforce that rule before extraction. The existing member
+count, unpacked-size, per-member-size, root, path and ARM64 checks still run.
+Synthetic tests reject changed duplicate payloads and non-execute mode changes.
+
+## Scoped verification
+
+- The exact archive passed the revised validator. A private local transaction
+  installed and removed its `free-loader` folder and receipt; cleanup left no
+  plugin folder. The focused store suite passed 21/21 tests, including a
+  duplicate-member install/remove and permission readback.
+- After merging current main, the full local Python suite passed **1,637
+  tests, 16 skipped**. The generated compatibility document check and
+  whitespace check passed.
+- The pinned official fake-Frame HTTP/SSH install/remove test passed with this
+  archive alongside the other pinned fixtures. It ran in a uniquely named
+  disposable Compose project; its containers, network and volumes were removed.
+  The fake does not execute the plugin's Python backend.
+- The current Framey opaque Chromium host on main `d963305` initialized the
+  exact frontend. Its **Free Games** view rendered, then displayed “Failed to
+  load games!” because the audit intentionally denied all backend/network
+  calls. It attempted `settings_read`, `read_deals` and logger methods.
+  The browser audit's former `local_bundle` stub had returned HTTP 404 after
+  receipt-bound panel lookup was introduced; the audit now supplies the
+  digest-checked bundle and receipt to the shipped panel renderer.
+- Exact official Python backend code ran in a disposable Python 3.12 container
+  with network disabled, read-only root, no capabilities, a private data mount
+  and a minimal `decky` API stub. `_main`, `settings_read` and `read_deals`
+  succeeded: 14 default settings, a 12-hour update frequency, an empty deals
+  map, and only private `settings.json`/`deal_db.json` files. The container
+  and its private files were removed. No feed refresh or notification ran.
+
+This makes **partial** the accurate digest-scoped status. The earlier full
+116-plugin fake-Frame catalog audit blocked this archive before the validator
+change; the focused pinned flow now passes. Actual Decky 3.3.0 backend load,
+live giveaway feeds, notification delivery, headset install, worn UI and
+physical controller input remain unverified. No real Frame session or service
+was touched for this change.

Its prior local Chromium run stopped before initialization with `Cannot read properties of null (reading 'type')`: the frontend dereferenced the result of `DFL.fakeRenderComponent` while looking for Steam's Library Context Menu.
+
+Framey's isolated host now returns an inert local component type from that lookup. The patch API remains a no-op and does not expose or modify a Steam React tree. In the repository's opaque Chromium audit, the unchanged archive reported initializer ready and rendered a Settings view containing Music Volume, Default Muted, Use yt-dlp, Invidious Instance, Download Music, Overrides and Extras. The audit observed a `get_setting` request, but denied the backend call. It also denied plugin network requests; a YouTube/Invidious fetch failed as expected. The bounded root-text observation came from the test iframe and contained only these public UI labels.
+
+The catalog therefore moves this digest from **broken** to **partial** for the visible local settings panel. No theme was played or injected into a Steam game page. Music search, playback, downloads, settings persistence, live ARM64 backend behavior, wearer-visible VR and physical controller input remain unverified. The earlier failed browser observation remains in the canonical JSON alongside this follow-up so the change in evidence is explicit.

Decky Loader adds each plugin's `py_modules` folder to that plugin's Python search path. The staging transaction records `shotty-click-app-dir` in the receipt and removes the whole staged folder on failure. A different Shotty digest receives no module. The official ZIP bytes and their verified hash remain unchanged.
+
+An isolated transaction test installed the pinned archive, imported its unchanged `main.py` using the staged module, and called its `aggregate_all` method with a synthetic Steam screenshot under a temporary `HOME`. It copied one fixture image into that temporary home's `Pictures/Screenshots/Local Test Game` folder; reopening the copied bytes matched the source. Removal deleted the managed folder. A second synthetic Shotty archive with another digest installed without the module. The test neither started the plugin's continuous screenshot rescuer nor touched a person's Steam library or screenshots.

Actual Decky 3.3.0 ARM64 plugin startup, gamescope screenshot rescue, real screenshot aggregation, VR panel visibility, and physical controller use remain unverified.

+At 14:23 UTC, the exact version-bumped candidate commit
+`e07fa155928d1609304e317d15e0c4ef4a977579` ran the same token-locked
+`scripts/frame-smoke.sh`.
+Preflight again found activity **3** (standby), proximity raw **3.0625** and
+battery **100%**. The result was **12 passed / 1 optional x86 launch skipped /
+0 failed**. Owned cleanup passed and the command exited 0 after releasing its
+lock. Its private result is
+`tests/smoke/results/2026-10-26T142321Z-20261022.6153909.json`.
+This paragraph is the only change after that smoke.

+PR #331's combined-head CI, green release-PR and post-merge CI, tagged
+installer builds, all ten installer digests with `SHA256SUMS`, independent
+package checks, publisher dry run, and public `update.json` readback remain

The exact archive passed private local and focused fake-Frame install/remove; its frontend rendered in opaque Chromium and isolated Python settings/empty-deals reads passed with a Decky stub. The earlier full 116-plugin fake-Frame audit blocked this archive before the fix. Actual Decky, feed updates and worn VR remain unverified.

 After the VR job released the shared lock, this audit acquired it and used a private temporary Decky 3.3.0 ARM64 user service. Read-only ProtonDB `get_setting` and Steam Status `get_settings` calls succeeded through the live Steam CEF websocket. The service and private base were removed and the lock released; normal managed services stayed inactive, battery was 100 → 99, and no power setting was changed. [Redacted results](evidence/framey-official-backend-2026-10-25.json) record exactly what ran. A [2026-10-26 follow-up](evidence/framey-events-backend-2026-10-26.json) verified default Notebook drawing/save/reopen across a real backend restart and Simple Timer start/cancel, countdown/completion events, a visible toast and persisted recents/subtle mode. Only private test settings were written. Simple Timer remains partial because its own expired-timer startup raises a missing `timer_task` error; sound/suspend are unsupported. A [local audio follow-up](evidence/framey-audio-backends-2026-10-26.md) exercised Volume Mixer, Volume Boost and Mixer through real Decky 3.3.0 amd64 backends on private silent virtual audio targets. Sliders, numeric volume entry, independent server readbacks and Mixer filter persistence across a runtime restart passed. An [ARM64 audio follow-up](evidence/framey-audio-arm64-2026-10-26.md) verified the unmodified official backends in actual Decky 3.3.0 on the Frame user audio session. Volume Mixer and Mixer now qualify as works for per-app volume: Chromium controls changed only a named silent stream, with independent Pulse readbacks. That run left Volume Boost partial because sink writes were denied. A [Volume Boost follow-up](evidence/framey-volume-boost-arm64-2026-10-26.md) now verifies linked/separate channel controls, re-link and reopen through the actual ARM64 backend. Independent Pulse reads confirmed 125%/150% gain writes while the default sink stayed muted; exact original volume/mute was restored. Volume Boost qualifies as works for sink controls. Audible output, Bluetooth playback and worn VR remain unverified. A [running-context follow-up](evidence/framey-running-context-2026-10-26.md) supplies detached running-app/main-app reads and relays actual Steam lifetime callbacks while a panel is open. Real Frame checks verified an empty list, registration/cleanup and the exact Discord Status ARM64 backend reporting no IPC connection. Nonempty games and transitions were synthetic fixtures; real game events, Discord activity and worn VR remain unverified. Discord Status moves to partial; no new works claim is made. A [library context follow-up](evidence/framey-library-context-2026-10-26.md) read 1,106 app overviews, 895 game IDs and the current public Steam ID from real Frame CEF under the shared lock. Local Chromium replayed this detached snapshot to render Deck Settings game selection, Steamback's empty save panel and PlayTime statistics/settings. Steamback and PlayTime used actual Decky 3.3.0 amd64 backends in an isolated container; their ARM64 backends and automatic game hooks remain unverified. Shotty's frontend now starts, but its published backend fails on missing `click`; it stays broken. A [chunked frontend follow-up](evidence/framey-deck-shelves-browser-2026-10-26.md) loaded Deck Shelves 2.0.0 through a managed JavaScript module route and rendered its settings in an opaque local Chromium panel. Its backend was denied; Steam Home shelves and worn VR remain unverified. A [local module lookup follow-up](evidence/framey-module-lookup-2026-10-26.md) supplies a finite registry of Framey-local controls and CSS. TabMaster QAM/docs now render; Steam library-tab editing remains unavailable. That pass exposed Junk-Store executable-script extraction failures; the follow-up below repairs them. SteamGridDB still requires Steam context-menu internals and DeckSP still fails its published MobX fallback. That pass tested TabMaster/Junk-Store in actual isolated amd64 Decky, without ARM64 or worn-VR coverage. A [script entrypoint follow-up](evidence/framey-script-entrypoints-2026-10-26.md) grants owner execute to shebang scripts and ZIP-declared executables without copying archive privilege/write bits. Junk-Store now passes static menu/backend calls in actual Decky 3.3.0 ARM64 and local Chromium Games/Epic navigation, back and reopen. It moves to partial: About still crashes on missing installed-app metadata, Legendary is absent, and login/game operations remain unverified. Existing installations require update/reinstall to repair permissions. A [read-only installed-metadata follow-up](evidence/framey-installed-context-2026-10-26.md) now repairs the About crash. The library snapshot copies only Steam-supplied installed booleans into detached metadata, preserving unknown values as undefined. Junk-Store About/Dependencies, Back and reopen render in local Chromium with actual Frame library data and the official ARM64 backend. It remains partial: dependency/login/game operations, RSS, the optional Line truncated
