+# Changelog
+
+## Unreleased
+
+- 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.

+# 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 APK 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 ordinary APK and standard OBB files for one game at a time.
+Split APKs, XAPK/APKS archives, nested Android/data folders and private save
+archives need their own import handling. 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.

 Re-adding an existing URL preserves its pin; changing it requires deliberately

+### 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.

+## 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.

+Staging also keeps 64 MiB of free disk space. Payloads still have the regular

+
+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

+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, and the switch out of a real Desktop Mode session. Unit
+tests and the fake Frame cover those (see [Verification](#verification)).
+On 2026-10-24 a read-only session check on the same build again reported Game
+Mode (`gamescope=true`, `plasma=false`, `nested_desktop=false`) and the
+`steamos-session-select` command was present. Opening the nested desktop for a
+clipboard test did not enter full Desktop Mode. A full session switch was not

+`manifest.json` records the headset's name, SteamOS version and BUILD_ID, every

+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. SteamOS picks the session through
+SDDM's autologin file, `/etc/sddm.conf.d/zz-steamos-autologin.conf` (or the
+default `/etc/sddm.conf.d/steamos.conf`), and switches with
+`steamos-session-select` (`holo-session-select` on newer images). This is what
+Valve's own devkit tools on the Frame read and run
+([`steamos-get-status`](../frame/devkit-utils/steamos-get-status),
+[`steamos-delete`](../frame/devkit-utils/steamos-delete)).
+
+**Check** reads that file and whether gamescope and Plasma are running; it
+changes nothing. On the Frame gamescope's process is `gamescope-wl`, started by
+`start-gamescope-session`, and either counts as Game Mode. Only when Plasma is
+running without gamescope (Desktop Mode) does **Return to Game Mode** run
+exactly `steamos-session-select gamescope` (or `holo-session-select
+gamescope`) over SSH, after asking. It closes the desktop and anything open in
+it. Frame Control never edits the SDDM files itself, and runs nothing when the
+headset is in Game Mode, when it can't tell which mode it's in, or when the
+image has neither command.
+
+**Uncertain:** whether the Frame offers a full Desktop Mode session at all
+(only the nested desktop has been seen on BUILD_ID 20260922.6101926 and
+20260925.6191901), and whether `steamos-session-select` there works without
+the Developer Mode password. If the switch is refused, Frame Control says so and
+leaves the headset as it was.
+
+### 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 steamos-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 never followed, 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.
+`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.

+# 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

+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

+# 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):
+
+- `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.

+- Receipts and originals distinguish pinned headset identity, Steam account,
+  app ID and filename. Reconnect/relaunch resumes pending work.

+  Denied/failed exports keep originals; app-only captures never automatically
+  export after re-enabling the setting.

+
+## Automated verification
+
+Normal signed Simulator build and full native test suite: **20 tests passed,
+zero failures**, including eight screenshot tests. Result bundle:
+`/tmp/frame-108-ios-all-r3.xcresult`; log: `/tmp/frame-108-ios-all-r3.log`.
+Both command exit status and xcresult test count were checked. Private
+DerivedData cleanup completed. Test target was the independently created
+Simulator `F250F91E-2E7D-4833-B029-A275F11FDC7D` on iOS 26.5.
+
+Screenshot tests cover baseline/stability, truncated data, restart dedup,
+Photos failure/retry, changes during download/consent, cancellation,
+account/app identity, corrupt-ledger failure, uncertain export handling,
+late success and failure across journal replacement, default preference and
+offline app-only originals. Download/export dependencies in these tests are
+injected; the live test below exercises actual transport and PhotoKit.
+
+Python iOS packaging/Foundation contracts: 5 passed. Page scripts: 5 passed.
+`swiftc -typecheck` for the journal and scoped `git diff --check` passed.
+
+## Actual headset → Simulator → Photos proof
+
+Ran the production signed app against the real headset over its pinned SSH
+connection and the actual deployed `/api/shots` and `/api/shots/image` endpoints.
+Created two temporary valid PNGs under a unique synthetic Steam account/app
+directory after the app had baselined the existing nine screenshots.
+
+| Check | Observed result |
+|---|---|
+| Default Photos ON | Original downloaded and receipt marked `saved`; Photos contained one byte-identical original |
+| Source / app copy / Photos SHA-256 | `a36eb2d497e6ecce17c767189a70b3b7e732a22309d2421cdc715cf13a7668ac` |
+| Photos OFF | Second original downloaded with `appOnly`; no matching Photos original |
+| Re-enable + relaunch | Second receipt stayed `appOnly`; first still had exactly one Photos original |
+
+Machine readback: `/tmp/frame-108-live-proof.json`. Photos readback hashed files
+in this dedicated Simulator's own Media/DCIM directory, independently of the
+app receipt. No personal phone Photos database was accessed. This is a
+synthetic capture-file test, not proof of the headset screenshot-button path,
+capture latency, physical-device behavior, or background delivery.
+
+The OFF preference was applied through Simulator defaults on restart, not a
+UI tap. The production setting setter and persisted opt-out were exercised in
+the native tests. Astra inspected the real native sheet in both states and
+found no major clipping, overlap or actionable visual defect.
+
+![Photos enabled and app-only setting](phone-screenshot-sync-2026-10-24/settings-proof.png)
+
+An initial unsigned test build could not retain a stable Keychain identity;
+the real transport test used normal Simulator signing. App launches with a
+console attached were kept alive for the live checks.

+# Windows VM and real Frame test, 2026-10-24
+
+The v0.4.10 installer could enumerate windows/screens and encode a synthetic
+Media Foundation stream, but every desktop capture failed at pipeline parsing:
+`no property "capture-api" in element "d3d11screencapturesrc"`.
+MSYS2's GStreamer 1.28.8 package disables WGC. After the fix, the same installed
+bundle captured the actual Windows desktop with Desktop Duplication and sent
+H.264 to a real Frame: 219 sent frame records, 215 decoded and drawn before the
+snapshot. Individual windows are explicitly unavailable with this bundle.
+
+The base was `e9cbb8fd5555f5cfceeba1babadf2d7d35dcd3be` (`v0.4.10`, origin/main,
+including merged #121), in isolated branch `t3/test-windows-vm-headset`.
+
+## Evidence
+
+- [Capture before the fix](windows-vm-2026-10-24/capture-before.json): five
+  synthetic H.264 frames and five JPEG frames; zero desktop/window frames,
+  with the missing-property error for both codecs.
+- [Actual bundled properties](windows-vm-2026-10-24/plugin-properties.json):
+  `monitor-handle` exists; `capture-api`, `window-handle`, `show-border` do not.
+  [MSYS2 package build](https://github.com/msys2/MINGW-packages/blob/master/mingw-w64-gst-plugins-bad/PKGBUILD)
+  sets `-Dd3d11-wgc=disabled`. Upstream
+  [installs those properties conditionally](https://github.com/GStreamer/gstreamer/blob/main/subprojects/gst-plugins-bad/sys/d3d11/gstd3d11screencapturesrc.cpp).
+- [Capture after the fix](windows-vm-2026-10-24/capture-after.json): the real
+  display produces five H.264 and five JPEG frames. Window sources are hidden
+  with an explicit reason, and the display selects `capture_api=dxgi`.
+- [Raw locked headset session](windows-vm-2026-10-24/headset-session.json):
+  Windows helper, Media Foundation encoder, reverse SSH tunnel, production
+  panel launcher and shared viewer. The image below was captured from that
+  viewer's own X window on the Frame, rather than the VM's console.
+- [Windows tests](windows-vm-2026-10-24/windows-tests.txt) and
+  [guest system details](windows-vm-2026-10-24/windows-system.txt).
+
+![Windows VM desktop decoded in the Frame's own viewer](windows-vm-2026-10-24/headset-view.png)
+
+## Host and VM prerequisites
+
+lxso2: Intel Core i7-8700, 12 logical CPUs, VT-x/KVM; Docker 29.1.3 and Compose
+2.40.3. Before starting: 31 GiB RAM, 15 GiB available; 147 GiB free disk.
+Swap was already full. No other VM or service workload was started or stopped.
+Docker listed no Windows VM, and ports 2222/8006/13389 were unused.
+
+The execution sandbox hid KVM and denied Docker/network access. Checks outside
+it found `/dev/kvm`, `/dev/net/tun` and the Docker daemon. Direct user access to
+KVM was denied, but a disposable Docker container with `--device /dev/kvm`
+opened it successfully; no host permissions changed.
+
+Created only `frame-winvm-priority3`, labelled
+`frame-control.task=priority3-windows-test`: 4 vCPUs, 8 GiB guest RAM, 32 GiB
+growable disk, no restart, 150-second stop timeout. SSH 2222 and console 8006
+bind only 127.0.0.1; RDP is unpublished. No GPU passthrough. Image:
+`dockurr/windows@sha256:16fd7c39a3e48bb946d29c59dc6015942e5b900a1fa5d7e5552053bfc48ee2ea`
+(Windows for Docker v6.06, QEMU v11.1.1).
+
+The container downloaded Windows 11 from Microsoft, with no activation changes.
+It took about 16 minutes to reach the first desktop. Guest build 26200.8037,
+Red Hat VirtIO GPU DOD driver 100.103.104.30200. The old WindowsProductName
+registry field still says Windows 10 Pro; the actual desktop/setup is Windows
+11. After installing the app, the 32 GiB disk had about 9.3 GB free.
+
+Official `Frame-Control-Setup-x64.exe` v0.4.10 SHA-256:
+`30165bc5aa39f941cacc697d195dc5c30b01ad0b9ffb472da8a18a5220549202`.
+Its installer exited 0. The VM stream used an intermediate Python/UI-only
+fix with the released DLL bundle and bundled Python 3.12.14. A later CI failure
+showed that probing GStreamer through a separately loaded DLL could see a
+different, uninitialized instance. The final fix probes optional properties
+through the capture DLL itself. Windows CI checks that native change; the VM
+stream was not repeated with the final DLL.
+
+OEM setup added OpenSSH Server, PowerShell and a dedicated public login key;
+password authentication is disabled. Its config needed an explicit
+`AuthorizedKeysFile C:/ProgramData/ssh/administrators_authorized_keys` before
+key login worked. The default informational share was replaced with a private
+writable staging share inside this container. These were test-VM setup steps,
+not app defects. Host setup files and the stopped VM disk are retained under
+`/tmp/frame-winvm-priority3/`; no private keys are committed or printed.
+The Frame test key was generated inside Windows and its private key stayed
+there. Only its public key was temporarily authorized on the Frame. After
+testing, the guest key and scheduled task were removed; `docker stop -t 150`
+shut down the dedicated VM. Inspection confirmed `exited`, restart `no`
+(container exit 143; logs show the ACPI shutdown signal, waiting for Windows,
+and `Shutdown completed!`). The disk is retained
+for reuse; the VM is not running.
+
+## Checks
+
+- Baseline PC-focused suite: 24 tests passed, one native class skipped.
+- After fix: full Linux unittest suite **1260 tests, OK, 15 skipped**, 144.366 s;
+  focused final PC suite **27 tests, OK, one native class skipped**. The C
+  controller's frozen 600-state trace ran on Linux.
+- Actual Windows installer bundle with the intermediate Python/UI fix:
+  **33 tests, OK, four skipped** (no C compiler, Linux PipeWire test, two
+  CI-only x264 tests). Its GObject property probe, host/encoder check and
+  x264-absence check ran. The final native probe is checked in the PR's
+  Windows CI build, not by this VM run.
+- Browser check with the real production HTML/JavaScript and mocked Windows API
+  responses: DXGI whole-screen Show remains available, the limitation appears
+  once, WGC window sources retain Show, off hides controls, and the limitation
+  text is escaped. This used a static asset server, without headset API access.
+- `node --test app/test/*.test.js`: passed, three test files.
+- `node --test site/test/*.test.mjs`: passed, one test file.
+- The first full Linux run inside the sandbox failed (11 failures, 139 errors),
+  including loopback socket `PermissionError`. The successful full runs were
+  outside that socket restriction.
+- An initial guest test archive omitted `apk-catalog`, causing one import
+  error; the complete archive produced the 33-test passing Windows run.
+
+Raw local logs: `/tmp/frame-windows-{pc,app,site}-tests.log`,
+`/tmp/frame-windows-full-tests-unrestricted.log`,
+`/tmp/frame-windows-full-fixed-tests.log`, and
+`/tmp/frame-winvm-priority3/`. The committed artifacts above preserve the
+capture, Windows test and headset evidence independently of those local files.
+
+## Shared Frame session and cleanup
+
+Read-only checks first: SteamOS 0.5.6, BUILD_ID `20261015.6141207`, battery 99%,
+Not charging (another supply reports Full). The lock was free.
+
+Both attempts acquired `/tmp/frame-test.lock` atomically before any key or
+viewer changes, and removed only the lock acquired by this task. The first,
+35-second attempt failed because the test wrapper sent CRLF script input and
+left SSH stdin open. Production already sends script bytes and closes stdin;
+correcting the wrapper resolved both. Its key was removed and lock released.
+
+The successful session held the lock **03:09:36–03:10:05 UTC (29 seconds)**.
+It used a dedicated `pc-view-priority3` profile and port range 47960–47964,
+leaving existing viewers/profiles alone. The app's Windows `PCView` captured
+`display:65537`, 1280×800, Light preset (30 fps ceiling), and opened panel
+`valve.steam.desktopgame.2001396898`. The viewer reported H.264 software decode,
+218 received frames, 215 decoded/drawn before the snapshot (219 sent records).
+
+This mostly idle, roughly ten-second sample reported 19 fps and content delay
+p50/p95 51.6/75.2 ms. These are observations, not a performance-target pass.
+
+Cleanup stopped the helper and tunnel, closed the own viewer, removed its two
+possible profile paths and log, then removed the exact public-key line. The
+`authorized_keys` SHA-256 was identical before/after. A follow-up login from
+Windows with that key failed with exit 255. Separate checks found no task-owned
+viewer processes, the profile absent, and the shared lock released. Battery
+remained 99%; the sampled gamescope focus properties matched before/after.
+No reboot, global settings changes, game launch or Steam/SteamVR stop occurred.
+
+## Limits
+
+This verifies a Windows VM's desktop capture, Media Foundation encoding and
+real Frame viewer decode/rendering. It does not verify physical-PC hardware
+encoding, WGC or individual-window capture, mixed DPI, multiple displays,
+physical laser alignment/clicks, keyboard layouts, resize/minimise, busy-scene
+performance, bitrate/encoder restarts, or worn-headset comfort. No input was
+injected during the real Frame session. The installed app’s Tools navigation was not exercised; its streaming
+controller, tunnel and viewer were exercised directly. No independent review was performed.

+# Frame doctor
+
+Run `scripts/frame-doctor.sh` from a checkout on macOS or Linux to diagnose
+first-time setup, pairing and common Frame failures without applying repairs.
+It needs Bash, Python 3 and OpenSSH on the computer, and Python 3 on the Frame.
+Windows users can run `python scripts/frame_doctor.py` with Python and OpenSSH
+installed; the desktop app does not bundle this command.
+
+```sh
+scripts/frame-doctor.sh
+scripts/frame-doctor.sh --alias bedroom --lan frame.local
+scripts/frame-doctor.sh --alias frame --lan 192.168.1.40
+```
+
+Use only addresses belonging to your intended headset. The command tries the
+existing `frame` SSH alias first (Tailscale if setup configured it that way),
+then `frame.local`, then USB-C at `10.86.200.233`. `--alias`, `--lan` and `--usb`
+override those defaults. It reports the successful path without printing its
+address. It neither discovers other devices nor enables Tailscale.
+
+The existing alias supplies the user, port, keys and known-hosts file. LAN and
+USB overrides preserve its `HostKeyAlias`, or its configured hostname if no
+alias was set. A first connection therefore needs trusted setup first. The
+doctor never accepts a new host key, deletes a saved key, generates keys or
+sends a pairing request. It uses your trusted OpenSSH configuration; OpenSSH
+can evaluate `Match exec` conditions in that configuration. Proxy commands,
+jumps, local commands, forwarding and connection sharing are disabled for
+these direct diagnostic connections.
+
+## Reading the result
+
+Each of the eleven runbook sections has one line: `OK`, `WARN`, `BROKEN` or
+`UNKNOWN`. `OK` means only that the stated check passed, not that the whole
+feature works. Optional features that are off may produce a warning.
+
+| Section | Read-only evidence and limits |
+|---|---|
+| 1. Boot and crash history | Previous-boot kernel-oops signatures; one day of coredump history. An oops alone does not prove an unclean reset. |
+| 2. Wi-Fi | NetworkManager's wlan0 state, without SSIDs or connection profiles. |
+| 3. Displays and SteamVR | DSI timeout signatures in the recent kernel journal; no display, compositor or game is launched. |
+| 4. Steam and storage | Free space in home and `devkit-game`, including separate mounts; missing Steam install marker. No CRC scan or restart. |
+| 5. Idle sleep and keep-awake | Existing keep-awake unit state; never takes ownership or changes idle timers. |
+| 6. Remote wake | WoWLAN state, without arming it or testing suspend. Wake with the power button. |
+| 7. Lepton | Recent port-clash, binder and data-clearing signatures; no Android/container commands. |
+| 8. Chromium XR | Crash history; no browser profile or environment inspection. |
+| 9. KDE Connect | Process presence; absence is normal when sharing is off. |
+| 10. Streaming and capture | ffmpeg crash history; no capture or encoder is started. |
+| 11. Panels | Always `UNKNOWN`: placement requires the user's visual confirmation. |
+
+Journal samples are capped at 2,000 entries; current-boot samples cover the
+last ten minutes. This can miss older or high-volume failures. Empty,
+inaccessible or permission-limited journals are `UNKNOWN`, never zero errors.
+Commands time out individually, and each SSH probe is bounded to 90 seconds.
+
+Exit codes: **0** if all reported checks are OK; **1** for warnings, broken or
+unknown checks after connecting; **2** if no authenticated SSH path exists or
+local SSH setup is unavailable. Panel verification currently means a connected
+run normally exits 1. Automation should read the labelled checks rather than
+treating a warning as proof the headset is unusable.
+
+## First-time setup and pairing
+
+- **No SSH response:** wake the headset with its power button. Check the cable
+  or Steam Settings → Internet, then enable Developer Mode. Sleep and network
+  failure can look alike; a timeout cannot distinguish them.
+- **Key rejected:** open **Set Up Connection** in Frame Control. In the headset,
+  open Steam Settings → Developer → **Pair new host**, then approve setup's
+  request. The doctor only checks whether devkit port 32000 responds; that
+  does not prove pairing mode is open or the service is healthy.
+- **Unknown or changed identity:** verify the intended headset through setup
+  or Devices → **Check its key**. Do not delete `known_hosts` to bypass this.
+- **No devkit response:** check Developer Mode and the address. See
+  [SSH setup](ssh.md) for the manual fallback. The doctor cannot turn SSH on.
+
+No password is requested. Enter any password required by the separate setup
+flow only in its local terminal; never paste it into an issue or report.
+
+## Restart safety and recovery
+
+Before deeper checks, and again afterwards, the doctor samples Steam and
+SteamVR `NRestarts` and health-check tracker sizes two seconds apart. Rising
+counters stop diagnostics immediately. Nonempty health-check trackers also stop
+deeper checks even when stable, since a short sample could miss a slower loop.
+Missing counters or counters that reset stop deeper checks as `UNKNOWN`. Stable
+counters with empty trackers still cannot rule out a slower restart loop.
+
+The [historical runbook from PR #33](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/blob/cce3d940302054ab5246c92d740afaefc4e58d38/docs/frame-doctor.md)
+is the source for these section numbers and observed signatures (September
+2026 builds). Its section 4 describes freezing and verifying health-check
+trackers before prolonged recovery during a live loop. That changes headset
+state, so this read-only implementation stops and directs you there instead.
+It does not implement issue #34's automatic fixes, before/after repair runs,
+or full recovery automation. Review build-specific recovery instructions with
+the person using the headset; a repair can remove data.
+
+Never reload `ath12k`, suspend remotely, kill gamescope to diagnose a loop,
+reset or force power off during extraction/repair, or write passwords to disk.
+The doctor never restarts services, signals processes, repairs Steam, changes
+WoWLAN/standby settings, takes keep-awake ownership, installs anything or writes
+a report. Nothing needs restoring after its checks. Manual/device tests must
+follow the [shared-device lock and battery procedure](testing.md#headset-smoke-test).
+
+## Privacy and verification
+
+Only fixed diagnostic summaries leave the remote probe. Raw journals, process
+arguments, environment variables, SSH errors, account IDs, network addresses,
+SSIDs, keys and tokens are not printed. No telemetry or HTTP request is sent;
+the only pairing-service probe is a TCP connection. SSH produces normal access
+logs. Review summaries before sharing them; feature availability can still be
+personal information. Redirecting stdout saves a report only if you choose it.
+
+Unit tests use mocked boundaries. `scripts/e2e.sh test_doctor` covers asleep,
+disk-full, SSH/devkit-off and missing-key faults against the fake Frame. Its
+stable restart counters are explicitly simulated, not proof about SteamOS.
+On 2026-10-24 the script ran read-only against a real Frame, SteamOS build
+`20261015.6141207`. It verified the configured SSH alias and key login,
+then reported `WARN Restart safety`: nonempty health-check trackers. It
+correctly skipped all eleven deeper sections and exited 1. No raw logs,
+addresses or keys were printed, and no repair or restart was attempted.
+This verifies the safety stop on that device; the deeper checks are not
+claimed as headset-tested.

+# Game storage
+
+Open **Tools → Game storage** for a read-only snapshot of the headset's user
+filesystem and Steam libraries. Refresh after an installation, download or move.
+The page never moves, deletes or modifies content, starts Steam, requests root,
+or recursively scans game files. It works through the existing SSH connection.
+
+## What the numbers mean
+
+- **Total, free and used** come from `statvfs` on the headset user's home and
+  each library path. Free is space available to that user; reserved blocks mean
+  used + free can be less than total. These are filesystem sizes, not advertised
+  drive capacity, and do not include separate system partitions.
+- Libraries come from `~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/libraryfolders.vdf` plus
+  the default Steam library. Modern nested and older numbered-path records are
+  accepted; canonical duplicate paths are shown once. No drive is mounted.
+- Two paths can share one filesystem. Their capacity must **not** be added.
+  An unmounted drive whose mount directory still exists can report the parent
+  filesystem's capacity: the page labels this as the filesystem containing the
+  path, rather than claiming the removable drive is connected.
+- Game sizes are Steam's `SizeOnDisk` records in `appmanifest_<appid>.acf`, sorted
+  largest first, with unknown sizes last. A missing, negative or invalid size
+  is **Unknown**, while an explicit zero remains zero. Records may be stale,
+  including during downloads or moves; they do not measure allocated blocks.
+- Games/apps and runtimes/tools have separate subtotals of **known recorded**
+  sizes. Runtime classification uses names (Proton, Steam Linux Runtime,
+  Steamworks Common, FEX and Lepton Development), so it is only a convenience.
+  Additional apps or runtimes may fall in the game/app group.
+- Saves, Proton prefixes, shaders, workshops, downloads, Android apps,
+  sideloaded games, media and OS files are **unmeasured other usage**. The page
+  does not subtract manifest totals from filesystem usage to invent a size for
+  them. Recorded content is not an exhaustive storage breakdown.
+
+Permission denied, missing/disconnected paths, unavailable filesystem reads,
+invalid metadata and partial inventories are reported separately. A failed read
+is never proof of an empty library. If library discovery fails, other libraries
+may be missing from the view. Refresh clears the old results immediately; a
+headset switch clears the snapshot and ignores late replies from the old device.
+
+## Moving a game safely
+
+Use Steam's own **Settings → Storage** on the headset (or in desktop Steam):
+choose the source drive, select the games and choose **Move**, then pick a
+Steam-supported destination. A second Steam library must already be available.
+Steam may withhold Move or a destination when it cannot perform the operation.
+Let Steam finish, follow Steam's errors/recovery prompts, then Refresh here.
+Do not manually delete files to make room or interrupt an in-progress move.
+
+[Valve's moving guide](https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/4BD4-4528-6B2E-8327#move)
+was read in a browser on 2026-10-24 and documents this UI. This is an instructional
+handoff: the page does not send a URI or silently open a UI on the headset.
+The guide's separate Windows instructions for moving the entire Steam client
+are outside this feature's scope.
+
+### Why Frame Control does not automate moving
+
+The repository's Valve devkit tools register and launch developer titles; no
+supported game-move operation is provided there. The existing Steam CEF bridge
+uses internal client APIs, which are not a verified supported contract for a
+move transaction. [Valve's public ISteamApps reference](https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/api/ISteamApps) provides install-directory
+and installed-depot queries but no documented move transaction with completion,
+cancellation, rollback and error guarantees. The public support guide describes
+the user-operated Storage UI, rather than such an automation interface.
+
+Consequently this feature adds no move endpoint or guessed internal Steam call,
+manifest rewrite, copy/delete fallback, or custom rollback. Automating a move
+requires a supported interface and verified behaviour for full disks, disconnects,
+running games, downloads, cancellation and Steam restart first.
+
+## Verification and limits
+
+`tests/test_storage.py` runs the actual probe against temporary Steam metadata
+and filesystem/error fixtures. It covers multiple libraries, duplicate paths,
+zero/unknown/invalid sizes, corrupt manifests, unreadable directories and files,
+missing discovery/drives, reserved capacity and read-only file preservation.
+A loopback HTTP test executes the real guarded endpoint with SSH mocked.
+`tests/storage.cjs` runs the production renderer, navigation and refresh handlers
+with DOM/transport boundaries faked, including escaping, offline errors,
+out-of-order refreshes and headset switches. It runs through unittest discovery.
+
+The production storage component was rendered with synthetic data at 390px and
+900px widths; both fit without horizontal overflow. This checks component
+layout, not the full connected application or headset browser.
+
+On 2026-10-24 the uninstalled storage parser was piped read-only over SSH
+to a real Frame running SteamOS build `20261015.6141207`. It reported
+710.4 GiB free on the user filesystem, one available Steam library, 29
+readable app manifests, zero unknown sizes and zero parse/permission issues.
+No game names or raw metadata were printed in the test report. The
+connected UI, removable media, Steam's Move UI and an actual game move were
+not tested. UI and error-state fixtures remain synthetic.

+## TestFlight
+
+Join the [Frame Control beta](https://testflight.apple.com/join/9xjW91g6),
+install Apple's TestFlight app, then tap **Install** or **Update** next to Frame
+Control. Internal account testers can also use their invitation. The first
+working phone build was version 0.1.0, build 202610140516, uploaded on
+2026-10-14. On 2026-10-16, build **202610160824** was uploaded and approved for
+internal and external testing. App Store Connect confirmed both builds were in
+the external **Public Beta** group, with its public link enabled and a limit of
+50 testers. The new build declares the encryption-compliance answer in the app
+and preserves the previous build's exact server bundle.
+
+### Upload a build
+
+You need Xcode, XcodeGen, a paid Apple Developer Program team, an App Store
+Connect app record for `com.saphid.framecontrol`, and an App Store Connect team
+API key with the signing access your release setup needs. This Mac relies on
+Apple's cloud-managed distribution certificates: an **App Manager** key was
+rejected with `Cloud signing permission error`, so this setup needs **Admin**
+access. A setup with a local distribution signing identity may be able to use
+a narrower role. Create the key under **Users and Access →
+Integrations → App Store Connect API**. Download it directly to
+`~/.appstoreconnect/private_keys/AuthKey_<KEY_ID>.p8`, outside the repository,
+and restrict it to its owner (`chmod 600`). Apple allows one download. Keep
+the private key out of chat, screenshots, logs and Git.
+
+From the repository root:
+
+```sh
+ASC_KEY_ID=YOUR_KEY_ID \
+ASC_ISSUER_ID=YOUR_ISSUER_UUID \
+ASC_KEY_PATH="$HOME/.appstoreconnect/private_keys/AuthKey_YOUR_KEY_ID.p8" \
+TEAM_ID=YOUR_TEAM_ID \
+  ios/scripts/testflight.sh
+```
+
+The script regenerates the Xcode project, archives with automatic signing,
+checks the archived build number, and uploads to App Store Connect. `TEAM_ID`
+defaults to this project's team, `NJZUMEA4BN`. `BUILD_NUMBER` defaults to UTC
+`YYYYMMDDHHMM`; wait for a new minute between uploads, or supply a unique,
+higher build number. The archive, export options and export output are under
+`ios/build/testflight/<BUILD_NUMBER>/` (ignored by Git).
+
+Build from a reviewed, clean checkout. The build packs the server, web pages
+and helpers from the current checkout, including uncommitted changes; it does
+not limit the bundle to the last commit.
+
+An upload succeeding means Apple received the build. Wait for it to finish
+processing in **App Store Connect → Frame Control → TestFlight** and check
+that it is ready for testing. `ios/project.yml` declares
+`ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption: false`, so each generated app declares that it
+uses no non-exempt encryption, matching the previous builds' export-compliance
+answers. Reassess that declaration if the app's cryptography changes.
+
+To replace a key, create and securely download the replacement, verify that it
+can access this app, then revoke the old key in Users and Access. Update the
+upload environment to use the replacement. Revocation does not remove an
+already uploaded TestFlight build from testers' phones.
+
+### Add testers
+
+**Internal:** add an existing App Store Connect user with an eligible role to
+an internal testing group, and add the build to that group (or enable automatic
+distribution). New account users must first accept their account invitation.
+Internal testing grants App Store Connect access; use external testing for
+people who only need to try the app.
+
+**External:** create an external testing group, complete Beta App Information
+and review contact details, add a build and its **What to Test** notes, then
+submit it for TestFlight App Review when required. Use
+<https://framecontrol.fun/privacy/> for the privacy policy and
+<https://framecontrol.fun/feedback/> for feedback. Review notes must explain
+that the app requires a Steam Frame with Developer Mode enabled and a user
+password; do not provide your own headset credentials to reviewers. Apple may
+need a way to evaluate features that require the hardware.
+
+After Apple approves the build for external testing, enable the group's public
+link and choose a tester limit. Share that link to let testers join without an
+App Store Connect account. Creating a group alone does not make a build public.
+Do not describe the link as ready until the approved build is in the group and
+the link is enabled.

+- **Connecting.** Look at the Mac and a **Connect** button floats above it.
+  There's also a Control Center route. The Mac's own screen goes dark
+  (**documented**/**reported**).
+- **Placement.** The display appears where you were looking, near the Mac,
+  at a large-monitor size. After that it stays put in the room: moving the
+  laptop doesn't move it. Holding the Digital Crown recenters everything
+  (**documented**).
+- **Handling.**
+  - A **window bar** under the display moves it, with pinch and drag, and
+    also moves it nearer or farther.
+  - Its bottom **corners** resize it.
+  - **Close** sits to the left of the bar (**documented**).
+- **Modes.** Standard (16:9), Wide (21:9) and Ultrawide (32:9, about 10K
+  pixels across). All are curved since visionOS 2.2 (**documented**).
+- **Input.**
+  - The Mac's keyboard and trackpad drive it.
+  - The pointer moves to whichever window you look at (Universal Control).
+  - Mac audio plays in the headset (**documented**).
+- **What it can't do.** You can't pull a single Mac window out of the
+  virtual display (**reported**, several sources). That's our
+  differentiator.
+
+## What the Frame allows
+
+- **Moving SteamVR's panels from our own process: no** (**verified**
+  2026-09-28). `FindOverlay("valve.steam.desktopgame.<id>")` works from a
+  separate OpenVR app, but `SetOverlayTransformAbsolute` returns 12
+  (`VROverlayError_PermissionDenied`). The panel reported transform type 5
+  (dashboard tab). Only SteamVR's dashboard, which runs in `vrwebhelper`,
+  moves them, through its privileged `VRHTML.VROverlay`, and it has no
+  DevTools port. See `/tmp/fmv-space/ovprobe.py` for the probe, which stays
+  outside the repo.
+- **WebXR in Chromium XR: yes** (**verified** 2026-09-26/27,
+  [webxr-chromium.md](webxr-chromium.md)).
+  - `immersive-vr` runs at 72–75 fps.
+  - Passthrough shows wherever the page leaves pixels transparent.
+  - Controllers are `tracked-pointer`s with `xr-standard` gamepads, and
+    squeeze events arrive.
+  - Hands are tracked with 25 joints.
+- **Our own OpenVR overlays: possible, but most work.** We would own their
+  transforms and get laser input as mouse events for free. But the Frame
+  would need native H.264 decoding and texture upload.
+
+## Decision: a WebXR "Mac space" page first
+
+The WebXR page (`ui/mac-space.html`) holds everything, with passthrough
+behind it:
+
+- **The desktop.** A large curved panel shows the Mac's main display,
+  placed above the laptop. The first time, you place it yourself; after
+  that it's remembered in the room.
+- **Windows.** Each separated window gets its own panel.
+- **Grabbing.** A bar under each panel moves it (squeeze, or pinch with a
+  hand). Its corners resize it, and there's a close button to the bar's
+  left, as on Vision Pro.
+- **Pulling a window out.** Grab a window's title bar on the desktop panel
+  and drag it off the edge. The page starts a `separate:<window id>`
+  stream, the window moves to its own display on the Mac, and its new
+  panel follows your hand until you let go. Dropping a panel back onto the
+  desktop panel stops the stream, and the window goes back.
+- **Input.** The laser and trigger click and drag, the thumbstick scrolls,
+  and the Mac's keyboard types, as today.
+
+Trade-offs:
+
+- It's the headset's active app while you use it. Other VR apps pause, but
+  SteamVR's own overlays still draw on top.
+- Text sharpness depends on how the page renders. WebXR quad layers (the
+  `layers` feature) would let SteamVR's compositor sample each panel
+  directly, so they're worth checking first.
+
+## Building blocks
+
+- **One module for the protocol.** `ui/mac-stream.js` holds the stream
+  protocol (connect, clock sync, decoding, acks and reports, input), shared
+  by `mac-view.html` (the 2D panel) and `mac-space.html`.
+- **A space key from the agent.** Frame Control gets a ticket with
+  `src=space`, and the page trades it once for a **space key**, kept in
+  memory. That key lists the windows and displays (with their positions,
+  for picking the one under the pointer) and opens streams for any of
+  them. Stop All revokes it.
+- **Anchoring.**
+  - v1: manual placement, remembered in the room (to be checked: whether
+    `local-floor` stays put between sessions on the Frame).
+  - v2: the Mac shows a marker on its screen for a moment, and the headset
+    finds it. That needs camera access, which is **unknown** on the Frame:
+    the passthrough cameras are monochrome, and `IVRTrackedCamera` hasn't
+    been tried.
+
+## Open questions
+
+- Frame rate with several software-decoded streams at once.
+- Whether `local-floor` placements survive restarts.
+- Whether WebXR quad layers work in Chromium XR's OpenXR path.
+- Whether Chromium grants `requestSession` without a click in the page

+# PC in the headset (Experimental)
+
+**Tools → PC in the headset**, on Windows only. It's the Windows version of
+[Mac in the headset](mac-in-headset.md): a whole screen on your PC
+becomes its own SteamVR panel in the Frame. Individual windows are available only
+with streaming libraries built with Windows Graphics Capture (WGC); the shipped
+MSYS2 libraries disable WGC, so this build explains that limitation and offers
+whole screens. Place the panel with the dashboard's Float
+in World, Move and Size, point and click with the laser, scroll with the
+thumbstick, and type on the PC's keyboard.
+
+**It's experimental.** A Windows 11 VM has captured its real desktop with
+Desktop Duplication and encoded it with Media Foundation and JPEG. Physical PCs,
+hardware encoding and physical laser input remain unverified. See
+[the dated evidence](evidence/windows-vm-2026-10-24.md) for results and limits.
+Reports are welcome through the
+[feedback form](https://frame-control.pages.dev/feedback/).
+
+## Turning it on
+
+It's off by default. Until you tick **Turn on PC in the headset** on the card,
+Frame Control starts no helper, loads none of the streaming libraries and lists
+no windows. The choice is remembered on this computer. Turning it off ends
+every stream, closes the viewers in the headset and stops the helper.
+
+The card and its Tools link only appear in the Windows app. On macOS the card
+is Mac in the headset, as before; on Linux and the iPhone app there's no card.
+
+## How it works
+
+The ported pieces are from [PR #38](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/38).
+Frame Control owns the host helper, input, authentication, streaming protocol,
+panel launcher and adaptation. It doesn't need Sunshine, OBS or any other
+streaming app. GStreamer is bundled as ordinary libraries.
+
+| | Windows |
+|---|---|
+| Capture | GStreamer's `d3d11screencapturesrc`: Desktop Duplication for whole screens in the shipped build; Windows.Graphics.Capture by window (HWND) or screen (HMONITOR) when that implementation is present |
+| Encoding | Media Foundation's H.264 encoder (`mfh264enc`), low latency, no B-frames. Whether it uses the GPU depends on the PC; **not verified** |
+| Input | `SendInput`, mapped through the source's bounds, with per-monitor DPI awareness |
+
+API references:
+[Windows capture](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/audio-video-camera/screen-capture),
+[GStreamer WGC](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/d3d11/d3d11screencapturesrc.html),
+[Media Foundation encoder](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/mediafoundation/mfh264enc.html).
+
+It needs Windows 10 or 11 with Desktop Duplication and a Media Foundation
+H.264 encoder (Windows "N" editions need the Media Feature Pack). WGC-enabled
+builds can also capture individual windows. Clicks and
+keys can't reach administrator apps or the sign-in screen, which an ordinary
+process can't drive. If Windows won't bring the chosen window to the front,
+input is refused rather than sent to the app covering it: bring the window
+forward, then Stop and Show again. Minimised or closed windows stop sending
+pictures. Protected video isn't supported. Mac in the headset's "own display
+per window" is Mac-only.
+
+The pieces it shares with Mac in the headset:
+
+- `ui/frame_macview.py` owns the SSH tunnel, reconnects, quality presets and
+  panel launch. `ui/frame_pcview.py` picks the Windows helper
+  (`ui/frame_pc_agent.py`, `ui/frame_pc_capture.py`, `desktop/capture.c`) and
+  holds the on/off switch. `/api/macview` is the endpoint for both.
+- `ui/mac-view.html` is the one viewer in the headset. Its frame header, H.264
+  and JPEG payloads, reconnect handshake, clock sync, timing reports and input
+  messages are unchanged.
+- `desktop/controller.c` is a C port of the Mac helper's Swift rate controller,
+  for the Windows helper. The Mac keeps its Swift original;
+  `tests/test_pc_controller.py` checks the port against a frozen 600-state
+  trace from it. Capture is gated before encoding, so encoded frames are never
+  dropped, and an idle window's last picture still goes out once the link
+  clears.
+- Stream records use the Mac helper's JSON schema (`ui/frame_stream_stats.py`),
+  so the benchmark's analysis is shared.
+
+## Packaging
+
+The Windows installer carries `resources/desktop/bundle`: `pc-host.dll` (our
+adapter and the controller), the GStreamer plugins it uses (`coreelements`,
+`videotestsrc`, `videoconvertscale`, `app`, `jpeg`, `videoparsersbad`,
+`d3d11`, `mediafoundation`) and the DLLs they depend on, all from MSYS2's
+UCRT64 packages. `libraries.json` records the GStreamer version, the plugins,
+each copied DLL and the exact package versions; licence texts are in
+`licenses/`.
+
+MSYS2's `gst-plugins-bad` build disables `d3d11-wgc`. The presence of
+`d3d11screencapturesrc` alone does not prove WGC support: its `capture-api`,
+`window-handle` and `show-border` properties are conditional. The helper queries
+those properties on the instantiated element, advertises only supported
+sources, and omits all three properties for the DXGI whole-screen pipeline.
+It never substitutes a screen crop for an unavailable window capture.
+
+The x264 encoder is **not** in the installer. It's GPL, and Windows encodes
+with Media Foundation, so only CI's test builds include it
+(`desktop/build.py --with-x264`). The macOS and Linux installers are unchanged.
+
+From a source checkout on Windows, build the bundle from an MSYS2 UCRT64 shell
+with the packages listed in `.github/workflows/pc-host.yml`:
+
+```sh
+python desktop/build.py              # what the installer ships
+python desktop/build.py --with-x264  # for the native tests
+```
+
+A missing bundle is reported on the card; nothing is downloaded on first use.
+
+The Linux adapter from #38 (desktop portal, PipeWire, VA-API) is in the tree,
+because it shares `capture.c` and the controller, and CI still builds and tests
+it. The app never offers it and the Linux installers don't include it.
+
+## Measuring
+
+The Mac benchmark accepts the PC host:
+
+```sh
+python scripts/macview-bench.py run --pc --scenario test --label pc-test
+python scripts/macview-bench.py run --pc --scenario capture --source window:12345 --label windows-window
+```
+
+`capture` needs a window or screen id from the helper's `/windows` or
+`/displays`. CPU sampling isn't available on PC hosts. See
+[Mac in the headset](mac-in-headset.md) for the targets and shaping options.
+
+## What's verified
+
+- **Verified in CI, this PR:** on `windows-latest`, the native adapter builds
+  and a real x264 synthetic stream passes the ticket, reconnect, timing and
+  input-echo tests through the helper. The Windows installer builds with the
+  bundle, and its bundled Python loads the bundle, starts the helper and
+  confirms x264 isn't in it. Unit tests check the Windows-only, off-by-default
+  gating, the card and the Tools link on macOS, Windows and Linux.
+- **Verified, #38, 2026-09-28, real Frame on SteamOS BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901:**
+  the PC helper (ARM64, on the Frame itself, x264 test pattern) streamed

+  content latency p50/p95 15.1/28.6 ms, synthetic input p50 76.6 ms, at
+  revision `cd20243`. The frame-rate and late-frame targets failed. This
+  proves the helper and the viewer work together; it isn't Windows capture or

+# Read-only power and heat measurements
+
+Issue [#52](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/issues/52) starts with
+measurement. `scripts/frame-power-sample.sh` is a bounded, on-demand sampler
+over the existing `ssh frame` alias. It needs Python 3 on both computers and
+an already paired, awake, reachable Frame. It uses strict SSH host-key checking
+and batch mode; it never pairs, prompts for a password or changes SSH security.
+
+```sh
+# Twelve samples, five seconds apart (about 55 seconds), JSON report:
+scripts/frame-power-sample.sh > power.json
+
+# Five-minute observation: samples at 0, 5, ... 300 seconds:
+scripts/frame-power-sample.sh --count 61 --interval 5 > baseline.json
+
+# Long-form CSV samples; JSON summary goes separately to stderr:
+scripts/frame-power-sample.sh --count 12 --interval 5 --csv > power.csv 2> summary.json
+```
+
+Count is limited to 1–720; interval to finite values from 1–60 seconds. These
+are target start-to-start intervals, not guarantees: read latency can delay a
+sample. Wall-clock `time` and monotonic `elapsedSeconds` record actual timing.
+The first sample has no CPU utilization: two valid `/proc/stat` observations
+are required. CPU utilization then covers the interval between observations,
+averaged across the machine, rather than the utilization of one process.
+
+## What it reads
+
+- Battery percentage, driver charging state, signed battery watts and battery
+  temperature, using the same parser as Frame Control's battery details.
+  Positive battery watts mean charging on the Frame fuel gauge; negative means
+  discharge. `Not charging` alone does not prove a charger is connected.
+- CPU utilization from `/proc/stat`; GPU clock from the known Frame devfreq path.
+- Named thermal zones in °C, with zone names retained. A thermal zone is not
+  automatically a CPU sensor; there is no inferred “CPU temperature” or safe
+  temperature threshold.
+- hwmon power channels, labels and driver names in watts. `vph` is the measured
+  system rail, not power at the wall. CPU `apc*` and GPU `gfx` rails are separate
+  readings; do not sum all channels as if they were independent power consumers.
+- Fan RPM and the Frame fan driver's raw `pwm1`. No generic percentage conversion
+  is assumed. The historical Frame driver reported a percent-like value of 41.
+- Named IIO board temperatures, PM8550B input/charge current in amps, and raw
+  VCNL4000 proximity if the account can read it. Raw proximity has no inferred
+  worn/unworn threshold.
+
+Each metric includes its unit, source path and availability state. Missing,
+unreadable or invalid values are JSON `null`, not zero. A missing sensor family
+is also listed in each sample's `unavailableGroups`; CSV adds unavailable group
+rows. Numeric zero remains a valid reading. The OS build is recorded per sample
+when `/etc/os-release` is readable; hostnames, addresses, machine IDs, process
+lists, logs, screenshots and application inventories are not collected.
+
+The JSON report contains raw samples and a summary per metric: available and
+unavailable counts, numeric minimum/maximum/arithmetic mean/first/last, or the
+observed charging states. Means exclude unavailable readings. They are sample
+means, not time-weighted energy or battery-runtime estimates. Different sample
+availability and intervals must be considered when comparing sessions.
+
+Numeric validity does not establish sensor accuracy. Historical readings
+already showed an apparently absent/broken right-display thermistor near
+−16 °C. This firmware also reports one charger-lite die sensor at −60 °C.
+Those raw numbers remain visible for diagnosis; neither should be used to
+infer cooling performance or safety. This tool does not diagnose heat, explain
+a spike, predict battery health, or promise power savings.
+
+## Safety and shared-device use
+
+Only file reads under `/proc`, `/sys` and `/etc/os-release` run on the Frame.
+The Python sources are sent on SSH stdin and not installed on the headset.
+There is no sudo, OpenVR initialization, service call, settings write, process
+control, journal query, wake, suspend or reboot. No daemon, telemetry upload or
+automatic measurement is added. Redirects above write only to your computer.
+The observer itself uses a little CPU and SSH traffic, so label baseline
+conditions and avoid interpreting very small changes as savings.
+
+The sampler checks `/tmp/frame-test.lock` on the computer before SSH, and on
+the Frame before any probe and before each sample. If a smoke session is active,
+it exits 75. A lock appearing mid-run stops the next sample, retains earlier
+samples, sets `stopped`, and exits 75. It never removes or acquires another
+session's lock. This is an advisory check, not an atomic lease: a smoke session
+can start during a file read. Coordinate sessions and defer measurement when
+timing overlaps. It does not block someone else from starting a smoke test.
+
+SSH failures/timeouts return a nonzero exit and an explanation, without
+presenting a zero or an old report as a successful measurement. Fully missing
+sensors can still produce a successful report with explicit unavailable states.
+On a connection failure, partial samples buffered on the headset can be lost.
+
+## Evidence and remaining work
+
+Read-only checks on **2026-10-24**, SteamOS **0.5.6**, build
+**20261015.6141207**, confirmed battery, CPU ticks, thermal zones, rail power,
+fan, GPU clock, board temperatures and charger current through the final
+sampler. Proximity was unavailable. Both JSON and CSV paths were exercised;
+see [the recorded results](evidence/power-sampler-2026-10-24.json).
+No smoke lock was present at the preflight or sampler checks. No settings,
+services, application state or device files were changed. This short run is
+a parser/transport check, not a controlled baseline or a worn-headset test.
+
+The original planning document is in commit `fe132e3` (2026-09-29). It recorded
+an off-head, charging idle baseline of about 4.71 W, CPU zones around 40–45 °C,
+and about 8,350 fan RPM on build 20260925.6191901. Those conditions and firmware
+differ from the current check; comparisons do not establish a regression.
+
+This change completes only the sampler portion of “Plan: leave it on, but
+cheaply.” Controlled worn/home-space, streaming/game load and unplugged
+baselines, and the cause of the 2026-09-28 95 °C spike, remain uninvestigated.
+Quiet mode, compositor changes, CPU/fan/charging changes and remote-wake tests
+are separate work. No controls are offered here. Follow the shared-device
+procedure in [testing.md](testing.md#headset-smoke-test) for future experiments.

+  of a second that `ffmpeg` can read that audio. If it can't, the recording goes
+  ahead as video only, and the page and the saved message say so.
+- **Limits**: a recording stops by itself after 20 minutes and is saved as if
+  you'd pressed Stop. It needs about 2.9 GB free on the Frame to start (room for
+  a full-length recording twice, while it's converted), and checks the space on
+  your computer before copying. One recording runs at a time.
+- **Where it waits on the Frame**: `~/.cache/frame-control/video/`, not `/tmp`,
+  which is a RAM disk on SteamOS. It's deleted once copied.
+- **If the connection drops or the app quits** while recording, the Frame
+  stops `ffmpeg` cleanly when the SSH channel closes: it types `q` into
+  `ffmpeg`'s input, as at its keyboard, and kills it if it's still there 10
+  seconds later. Not a signal: SteamOS's `ffmpeg` 7.0 catches SIGTERM and
+  SIGINT and carries on recording. A recording that was never copied is
+  deleted when the next one starts.
+
+Recording and **Live** can run together; both read the same device.
+
+## Steam clips
+
+**Steam clips** lists what Steam's game recording has kept on the Frame: saved
+clips and background recordings, newest first, with the game, length and size.
+**Export** joins one into a single `.mp4` in `~/Videos/SteamFrame`, named after
+its folder (for example `clip_620_20261020_202134.mp4`), however long it is.
+Steam's own export is reported to stop at about 60 seconds. Exports run in the
+background; ones already on your computer are marked.
+
+How it works: Steam keeps each recording as MPEG-DASH segments, one folder per
+recording session.
+
+```
+~/.local/share/Steam/userdata/<account>/gamerecordings/
+  video/bg_<appid>_<YYYYMMDD>_<HHMMSS>/                 background recording
+  clips/clip_<appid>_<YYYYMMDD>_<HHMMSS>/video/bg_<...>/ a saved clip
+      session.mpd
+      init-stream0.m4s  chunk-stream0-00001.m4s  chunk-stream0-00002.m4s ...
+      init-stream1.m4s  chunk-stream1-00001.m4s ...
+```
+
+Each stream's `init-stream` segment followed by its chunks, in number order, is
+a playable fragmented MP4 of that stream. On the Frame, `ui/frame_clips.py`
+builds those files and has `ffmpeg` put the video and audio into one `.mp4`
+with `-c copy`, so nothing is re-encoded and it takes seconds. The result is
+copied to the computer and deleted from the Frame. The export needs free space
+on the Frame of about twice the recording's size while it runs.
+
+The listing doesn't rely on the folder names: any folder under `clips/` or
+`video/` (up to four levels down) holding `init-stream*.m4s` counts. A stream
+missing its init segment or its chunks is left out. Missing chunk numbers are
+shown as "pieces missing"; the rest still exports.
+
+## Copying new ones automatically
+
+**Settings → Copy to this computer** copies new screenshots and Steam clips
+here on their own. It's off until you turn it on, with a switch each for
+screenshots and Steam clips. While a headset is connected, Frame Control looks
+about once a minute and copies what's new with the same code as **Save** and
+**Export**: screenshots to `~/Pictures/SteamFrame`, clips to
+`~/Videos/SteamFrame`.
+
+- **Only what's new.** It copies what you take after turning it on, so the
+  shots and clips already on the headset don't all arrive at once. **Copy
+  everything now** copies everything that isn't on this computer yet, once.
+- **Deleted stays deleted.** What it has copied is remembered, per headset, in
+  `auto-sync.json` in Frame Control's data folder, so a file you delete here
+  isn't copied again (**Copy everything now** would bring it back).
+- **Saved clips only.** Steam's background recording is a rolling buffer, not
+  something you chose to keep, so it isn't copied; export it by hand. A clip
+  Steam wrote to in the last 30 seconds is still being saved and waits for the
+  next look.
+- **It gives way.** It waits while an install, an export, a recording or
+  anything else is running on the headset, and stops between files if one
+  starts. While a copy is running, switching headsets waits for it, as it does
+  for an export. When the headset can't be reached it waits longer each time,
+  up to 15 minutes, and starts over once it answers.
+- **When this computer is full** (under 512 MB free, or a copy runs out of
+  space) it pauses and says so in Settings and above the lists. Free some space
+  and press **Resume**.
+- **With several headsets** it copies from the one you're connected to.
+
+Settings shows when it last checked, how many files it last copied and when,
+and the last problem it had. The screenshot and clip lists say when it's on.
+
+## For developers
+
+`ui/frame_clips.py` holds the logic, so other features can reuse it (automatic
+copying, in `ui/frame_autosync.py`, does):
+
+- `list_clips(run_frame)` and `export_clip(id, run_frame, run, fetch)` are the
+  computer's side; the server passes how to reach the Frame.
+- `list_recordings(userdata)` and `export(userdata, id)` are the Frame's side,
+  run as `python3 - list` / `python3 - export ID` with the file on stdin.
+- `Recorder` runs one recording from Start to the copy.
+- `parse_id` checks a clip id (`<account>/<clips|video>/<folder>...`, plain
+  names only, no `.` or `..`) before it reaches a path or a shell.
+
+The API, with the same guards as every other request:
+
+| Request | Does |
+|---|---|
+| `GET /api/record` | The recording's state: `idle`, `starting`, `recording` (with `elapsed`, `audio`, `limit`), `stopping`, `saving`, `saved` (with `file`) or `failed` (with `error`) |
+| `POST /api/record {"action": "start"\|"stop"}` | Start or stop |
+| `GET /api/clips` | Steam's recordings on the Frame, each with `saved` |
+| `POST /api/clips/export {"id"}` | Starts an export; poll `/api/job` |
+| `POST /api/open {"what": "videos"}` | Opens `~/Videos/SteamFrame` |
+| `GET /api/autosync` | Automatic copying: `screenshots`, `clips`, `since` (the watermark), `checked`, `copied`, `copied_time`, `error`, `paused`, `waiting` (clips still being written) |
+| `POST /api/autosync {"action": "settings", "screenshots", "clips"}` | Turn either on or off; turning it on sets `since` to now |
+| `POST /api/autosync {"action": "now"\|"resume"}` | Copy everything not here yet, once; or resume after running out of space |
+
+They aren't available when the server runs on the Frame itself (the iPhone
+app), since they save to a computer.
+
+Tests: `tests/test_clips.py`, and `tests/test_autosync.py` for automatic
+copying (with a fake headset). They run the recording's shell under bash with a
+stand-in `ffmpeg`, so Stop, the time limit and the clean-up are tested as they
+run on the Frame. Where `ffmpeg` is installed, they also make a 65-second DASH
+recording with Steam's file names and export it with the real `ffmpeg`.
+
+## What hasn't been checked
+
+The 2026-10-24 read-only clip list on build `20261015.6141207` again returned
+zero clips: its `gamerecordings` directory held only `gamerecording.pb`. No
+Steam recording was created during that check, so a real Steam clip export is
+still unverified. The recording and Stop path were verified earlier on that
+build, as described above. Remaining checks:
+
+- Audio and video sync. Both inputs are stamped with the wall clock, because
+  the camera device and the audio server otherwise count from different clocks.
+- The exact layout of `gamerecordings` on the Frame's SteamOS build, and
+  whether a clip's segments start mid-recording. The parser is deliberately
+  loose about the layout.
+- How much x264 at 1080p30 costs the Frame while a game is running.

+tile, a sideloaded title's ⋯ menu and the Control Center's **Force quit a game**
+card have **Force quit…** too. Each asks first ("Unsaved progress will be
+lost"); from a game's own menu it checks that the game is running and says so if
+it isn't. SteamVR (app 250820, and its beta 1009850) is never listed or quit:
+on the Frame it shows the headset view, so quitting it isn't a way out of a game.
+
+`ui/frame_running.py` does the work on the Frame, piped over SSH with
+`frame_steam.py` as its DevTools client:
+
+```sh
+scp ui/frame_steam.py ui/frame_running.py frame:/tmp/
+ssh frame 'python3 /tmp/frame_running.py list'       # {"running": [{appid, gameid, name, kind, ...}]}
+ssh frame 'python3 /tmp/frame_running.py quit 620'   # {"name", "method", "message"}
+```
+
+1. **What's running.** Steam starts every game, shortcut and devkit title under
+   its `reaper`, as `reaper SteamLaunch AppId=<id> -- <command>`, and the reaper
+   stays the parent of the game's processes. So a running game is one of your
+   own processes whose program is named `reaper`, with `SteamLaunch` and an
+   `AppId=` before `--`; the game is that reaper's process tree. Steam's own list
+   (`SteamUIStore.RunningApps`) and Android apps whose Lepton container is up
+   (`podman ps`) are added. Names come from `appStore`, else the app manifest,
+   the Android app's `meta.json` or the devkit title's folder.
+2. **Steam first.** `SteamClient.Apps.TerminateApp(<game id>, false)`, the
+   call Steam's own Stop makes for Android apps ([vr-apks.md](vr-apks.md)). The
+   game id is the appid, or `(appid << 32) | 0x02000000` for a non-Steam
+   shortcut. An Android app's container is also stopped, as the Apps tab's Stop
+   does (`podman stop -t 5 lepton-steamlaunch-<instance>`).
+3. **Then signals.** If the game's processes are still there after 5 seconds,
+   they get SIGTERM, deepest first; whatever is left 3 seconds later gets
+   SIGKILL, the reaper last, so nothing it holds is orphaned unsignalled. A pid
+   is only signalled while its start time still matches, so a reused pid is safe.
+
+Nothing is found by name. These are never signalled, even inside a game's tree:
+init, the helper itself and every process above it (the SSH session), other
+users' processes, and anything named `steam`, `steamwebhelper`, `gamescope`,
+`gamescope-wl`, `gamescopereaper`, `gamescope-session`, `sshd`, `sshd-session`,
+`ssh-agent`, `systemd`, `dbus-daemon`, `dbus-broker`, `pipewire`,
+`pipewire-pulse`, `wireplumber`, `plasmashell`, `kwin_wayland`, `kwin_x11`,
+`Xwayland`, `sddm`, `vrserver`, `vrcompositor`, `vrmonitor`, `vrdashboard`,
+`vrwebhelper` or `vrstartup`, with everything under them.
+
+**Not tested on a headset.** The reaper command line is how Steam launches games
+on Linux desktops and the Steam Deck, **inferred** for the Frame.
+`SteamUIStore.RunningApps` comes from Steam's client code as plugin loaders use
+it and hasn't been seen on the Frame's build; without it, the reapers alone
+decide. `TerminateApp` with a shortcut's game id is the call Steam's Stop was
+seen making for an Android app (docs/vr-apks.md); for Steam games it is
+**inferred**. Unit tests (`tests/test_force_quit.py`) cover the parsing, the
+process selection and the escalation; the fake Frame launches its games under a
+stand-in `reaper` so `tests/e2e/test_running.py` force quits a real process tree.

+## PC panel host tests

+PC in the headset (Experimental, Windows only). `tests/test_pcview.py` checks
+that only Windows gets the PC host and that it starts nothing until turned on,
+the Tools link and card wording, source-bound tickets, reconnect/Stop
+revocation, input release, source-coordinate mapping and use of the existing
+panel launcher. `tests/test_pc_controller.py` checks the C rate controller
+against a frozen trace of the Mac's Swift one.
+
+The `PC host libraries` workflow builds the native adapter on Windows (and
+the unshipped Linux adapter on Ubuntu x64 and ARM64), then runs a real x264
+synthetic stream through the HTTP/WebSocket agent. x264 is GPL, so only these
+CI builds include it (`desktop/build.py --with-x264`); the release workflow
+tests the installer's own bundle with its bundled Python and checks x264 isn't
+in it. `FRAME_PC_REQUIRE_NATIVE=1` and `FRAME_PC_REQUIRE_X264=1` make a missing
+bundle or encoder fail CI instead of skipping.
+
+These automated CI checks do not capture a desktop, exercise Media Foundation
+or a GPU, or check laser alignment. A [Windows test VM](#windows-test-vm) run
+on 2026-10-24 captured its actual desktop with Desktop Duplication, encoded
+with Media Foundation and streamed to a real Frame. It found MSYS2 disables
+WGC: an element name alone does not prove its optional capture properties
+exist. Native property-probe tests and source-selection regressions now cover
+that boundary. [Dated evidence and limits](evidence/windows-vm-2026-10-24.md);
+[what's verified](pc-in-headset.md#whats-verified).
+
+## Windows test VM
+
+Windows CI runs the unit tests and checks installer contents. Desktop capture,
+installer launch and interactive behavior need a Windows machine. This is a Windows 11 VM in a
+[dockur/windows](https://github.com/dockur/windows) container on a Linux machine
+with KVM, driven from the Mac with `scripts/windows-vm.sh`.
+
+Setting it up, once, on the Linux machine:
+
+- **Windows comes from Microsoft.** The container downloads the Windows 11
+  image from Microsoft on first start. Windows runs unactivated, which is fine
+  for testing. Don't use activation workarounds or third-party Windows images.
+- **Publish its ports on loopback only.** Map `127.0.0.1:2222:22` (SSH),
+  `127.0.0.1:8006:8006` (the web console) and, if you need it,
+  `127.0.0.1:13389:3389`. The Mac reaches them through `ssh -J`. Use
+  `restart: "no"` and `stop_grace_period: 2m` so it only runs when someone is
+  testing, and a `docker stop` shuts Windows down cleanly.
+- **Give it SSH on first sign-in.** The container runs `/oem/install.bat`
+  once. Have it add the OpenSSH Server capability, start `sshd`, set PowerShell
+  as its default shell, and put a dedicated public key (for example
+  `~/.ssh/id_ed25519_winvm` on the Mac) in
+  `C:\ProgramData\ssh\administrators_authorized_keys`.
+- Give it 4 cores, 8 GB of memory and a 32 GB disk. That's enough for the app
+  and the tests. Inspect free memory/disk, KVM access and existing VMs before
+  starting; leave other VMs alone. The first install can take tens of minutes
+  (the 2026-10-24 run took about 16 minutes to reach the desktop), rather than
+  the 1–2 minute startup of an already installed guest.
+- For PC streaming, check the actual bundled capture properties. MSYS2's
+  GStreamer build disables WGC: this app falls back to Desktop Duplication for
+  whole screens and explains why individual windows are unavailable. A VM
+  capture test does not prove physical GPU encoding or laser alignment.
+
+Using it, with `WINVM_HOST` set to the Linux machine's ssh alias:
+
+```sh
+scripts/windows-vm.sh up                        # start it and wait for SSH (1-2 minutes)
+scripts/windows-vm.sh put Frame-Control-Setup-x64.exe
+scripts/windows-vm.sh ps 'Start-Process "$env:USERPROFILE\Downloads\Frame-Control-Setup-x64.exe" /S -Wait'
+scripts/windows-vm.sh shot screen.png            # what's on its screen
+scripts/windows-vm.sh click 723 359              # screen pixels, as in the screenshot
+scripts/windows-vm.sh keys s t e a m o s ret     # QEMU key names
+scripts/windows-vm.sh down                       # shut Windows down
+```
+
+- **Clicks go through a scheduled task.** Commands over SSH run in a
+  session with no desktop, so `click` and `scroll` write the position to a
+  file, and a scheduled task running as the signed-in user replays it. The
+  VM's screen must be signed in; it is after `up`. Clicks and scrolls sent at
+  the same time run one after another. QEMU's own `mouse_move` is relative
+  and drifts, so the script doesn't use it.
+- **Screenshots may not show the pointer.** Check the result of a click (a
+  menu that opens, a button that changes) rather than the pointer's position.
+- **Windows' `ssh` waits for stdin.** The script closes it for every command.
+  Do the same if you run `ssh` in the VM by hand.
+- **Starting the app.** Run Frame Control in the signed-in session, not over
+  SSH. Use its Start-menu shortcut via `click`, or a scheduled task like the
+  one `click` uses.
+
+**Testing against a real Frame.** The VM reaches the headset on the LAN like
+any other computer. Run **Set Up Connection** in the VM's Frame Control once;
+that makes the VM's keys. So the VM doesn't keep access between test runs,
+afterwards take the lines it added out of the headset's
+`~/.ssh/authorized_keys`: the ones matching the VM's
+`~/.ssh/id_ed25519_frame.pub` and, if pairing made one,
+`~/.ssh/id_rsa_frame_devkit.pub`. Check that `ssh -o BatchMode=yes frame true`
+in the VM now fails. Then, around each run:
+
+```sh
+scripts/windows-vm.sh frame-key add       # let the VM's key into the headset
+# ... test ...
+scripts/windows-vm.sh frame-key remove    # and take it out again
+```
+
+`add` appends the VM's key tagged `windows-vm-test`, unless the headset
+already trusts that key through another line. `remove` deletes only the exact
+line `add` wrote, so it doesn't undo what Set Up Connection did, and it leaves
+the file alone if it can't rewrite it. Follow the shared-device
+procedure in [Headset smoke test](#headset-smoke-test) before installing or
+launching anything on the headset.
+
+**Verified 2026-09-30:** Windows 11 Pro 25H2 (build 26200) against a Frame on
+BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901. The script was used to install Frame Control 0.4.0,
+connect it to the Frame and follow Remote Desktop through to the Frame's
+desktop ([what it does](streaming.md#a-see-and-control-the-frame-from-the-mac)).
+`frame-key` left `authorized_keys` byte-for-byte as it was.
+
+## Force quit
+
+`tests/test_force_quit.py` feeds `ui/frame_running.py` made-up process tables:
+the `reaper SteamLaunch AppId=` parsing, naming from Steam, manifests, Android
+`meta.json` and devkit folders, and a Frame's worth of Steam, gamescope, SteamVR,
+sshd and session processes that must never be signalled. Processes that ignore
+SIGTERM, survive SIGKILL or exit and have their pid reused check the escalation.
