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

 | Chromium Flatpak 154 has **no immersive WebXR**: `navigator.xr` exists, but `isSessionSupported("immersive-vr")` returns `false`. Web VR180 players (DL8/DeoVR embeds) still play video inline as a flat, pannable view, and their VR button opens a tab on immersiveweb.dev. Forcing it doesn't help. `--enable-features=OpenXR,WebXR --force-webxr-runtime=openxr`, with `/opt/steamvr` and `XR_RUNTIME_JSON` exposed to the Flatpak, still returns `false`. The aarch64 Linux binary has no OpenXR code at all (no `XR_RUNTIME_JSON`, `xrGetInstanceProcAddr` or loader strings), even though `chrome://flags` lists `#webxr-runtime` → OpenXR. **Why (verified against source 2026-09-25):** M154 is the first release that compiles OpenXR on Linux (`enable_openxr` includes `is_linux`, `checkout_openxr` is true in Flathub's tarball, and Flathub's GN args don't turn it off). But `content/services/isolated_xr_device/xr_runtime_provider.cc` only creates an OpenXR device under `ENABLE_OPENXR && IS_WIN`, on 154, 155 and `main`. Nothing on Linux calls the OpenXR code, so the linker drops it. The missing pieces are two unmerged Gerrit CLs (bug 506004811): [8132979](https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/8132979) wires the provider on Linux (with `kOpenXR` still off by default, so it needs `--enable-features=OpenXR`), and [8441736](https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/8441736) runs the XR service in a sandbox that allows SteamVR's sockets. The Frame does have an aarch64 runtime: `~/.config/openxr/1/active_runtime.json` → SteamVR `bin/linuxarm64/vrclient.so`. To watch in 3D, use a native player, or a Chromium built with those two CLs ([webxr-chromium.md](webxr-chromium.md)). That build (156.0.8071.0, arm64) reports `immersive-vr` as supported and starts a session that SteamVR takes as its scene app. With the headset on, the WebXR samples scene and three.js's stereo 360 video demo showed in 3D (verified 2026-09-26, seccomp sandbox off).

-## UEVR from Frame Control
-
-![The VR mod dialog while UEVR runs in Gravitas](img/uevr-dialog.png)
-
-**Get games → an installed game → VR mod.** The dialog says whether the game
-can take UEVR, then offers **Install UEVR**, **▶ Play in VR** and **Remove
-UEVR**. The server route is `POST /api/mods {"action": "status" | "install" |
-"start" | "uninstall", "appid": …}`, and the work happens on the Frame in
-[`ui/frame_mods.py`](../ui/frame_mods.py). It uses only the standard library,
-like `frame_steam.py`.
-
- **Which games.** Unreal Engine games, recognised by their
-  `…/Binaries/Win64/*-Win64-Shipping.exe` (inferred as the general rule; checked
-  with Gravitas, and HL2 VR is correctly refused). The game needs a Proton
-  prefix, so it must have been played once.
- **Install.** Downloads praydog's [UEVR 1.05 release](https://github.com/praydog/UEVR/releases/tag/1.05)
-  and python.org's [Windows x64 embeddable Python 3.14.7](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3147/).
-  Each is checked against a pinned SHA-256; Python's comes from python.org's
-  release-file API. Archives are unpacked into a staging folder, rejecting
-  entries that escape it, symlinks and oversized contents, then moved into
-  `<prefix>/drive_c/frame-control/` (about 47 MB). Nothing goes into the
-  game's own folder. A receipt in `~/.local/share/frame-control/mods/` lists
-  what to remove, including UEVR's own settings folders only if they didn't
-  exist before. Install and remove refuse while the game is running, and only
-  one mod action runs at a time.
- **Play in VR.** Launches the game through Steam if it isn't running and
-  waits for its window. It then runs a short script under that Python, with
-  the game's Proton, prefix and Wine settings read from the game process, so
-  both share one Wine session. The script repeats what UEVR's own injector does
-  when you press Inject with OpenVR chosen: load `UEVRPluginNullifier.dll` and
-  call its `nullify`, load `openvr_api.dll`, set `Frontend_RequestedRuntime` in
-  UEVR's per-game `config.txt`, then load `UEVRBackend.dll`. Each load is a
-  `LoadLibraryW` remote thread, as in the frontend's `Injector.cs`. `start`
-  then checks that `UEVRBackend.dll` is mapped into the game and reads
-  SteamVR's frame count for the app (`vrcmd --stats`).
- **Remove.** Deletes what the receipt lists, then the download cache once
-  no game uses it. Verified: the prefix's file listing matched its
-  pre-install state afterwards.
-
-Why not UEVR's own injector (verified 2026-09-29):
-
- It's a .NET 6 WPF app, so it needs Microsoft's .NET runtimes (about 70 MB
-  of downloads) in the prefix.
- Under gamescope, the full-screen game keeps the pointer and focus. XTest
-  clicks, raising or refocusing the injector window don't change that, so in
-  the headset you can't click it. Sending X `ButtonPress`/`ButtonRelease`
-  events straight to its window does work.
- `--attach=<process>` didn't inject under Wine, and it didn't restore its
-  saved OpenVR choice.
- Driven that way, it injected in 6 of 8 cold starts. In a bad session every
-  new injector ignored input or never showed its window, even after
-  relaunching. Its process list reads each process's main window title, a
-  cross-process window message; a window that isn't answering would block its
-  UI thread (inferred from the frontend's source, not proven). Without a
-  `HOME` it also died in .NET at startup.
- Frame Control's own script injected in 12 of 12 cold starts through the API, in 33–35 s, and again from the UI.
- UEVR's DirectX 12 probing logs errors before it settles on DirectX 11 for
-  Gravitas, and some of its Unreal engine scans fail on this older UE4 game.
-  Neither stopped the injection.
+The [test record](evidence/mods-2026-09-28.md) distinguishes process startup,
+visible output and failures. It also records a SteamVR restart during the
+shared session, which prevents attributing the failed UEVR attempt to FEX.

+# PC in the headset
+
+Windows and Linux hosts use **Tools → PC in the headset**. The host shares a
+window or screen, and the existing Frame viewer makes it a SteamVR panel.
+Move it with the dashboard's Float in World, Move and Size controls.
+
+**Inferred / not yet verified on a desktop host:** the Windows and Linux
+capture and input paths below. This work was developed on a Mac with no
+Windows or Linux desktop VM. A native build or test-pattern test in CI does
+not establish that desktop capture, a permission dialog, hardware encoding
+or laser input works. Keep this feature in the draft/testing stage until
+those paths have been tried on real hosts.
+
+## Own implementation, platform APIs and bundled libraries
+
+Frame Control owns the host agent, input routing, authentication, streaming
+protocol, panel launcher and adaptation. It does not launch or require
+Sunshine, OBS or another desktop-streaming app. GStreamer and its codec
+plugins are ordinary libraries bundled with the Windows and Linux app;
+users do not install a GStreamer application. The shared library build keeps
+license texts and package provenance alongside the libraries. Linux also
+bundles the PipeWire client’s dynamically loaded SPA/protocol modules and a
+private client configuration; it does not change the desktop’s configuration.
+
+First-party alternatives considered (**documented**): Valve Remote Play
+streams a game/desktop, rather than providing this per-window panel protocol;
+Windows Remote Desktop opens a remote session; Linux's desktop portal is the
+consent mechanism for sharing the current desktop. The chosen paths are:
+
+| Host | Capture | Encoding | Input |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Windows | Windows.Graphics.Capture, through `d3d11screencapturesrc capture-api=wgc`; HWND or HMONITOR | Hardware Media Foundation (`mfh264enc`), low latency, no B-frames | `SendInput`, with source bounds and per-monitor DPI awareness |
+| Linux | RemoteDesktop + ScreenCast portal, then the returned PipeWire fd/node | VA-API (`vah264enc`) where registered; x264 otherwise | RemoteDesktop portal notifications, using only granted pointer/keyboard devices |
+
+API choices are **documented**, not device verification:
+[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),
+[ScreenCast portal](https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/doc-org.freedesktop.portal.ScreenCast.html),
+[RemoteDesktop portal](https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/doc-org.freedesktop.portal.RemoteDesktop.html).
+
+Windows needs a WGC-capable Windows 10/11 desktop and an available hardware
+Media Foundation H.264 encoder. Elevated windows and the secure desktop
+cannot be driven by an ordinary Frame Control process. If Windows refuses
+to focus a selected window, input is refused rather than sent to the app
+covering it; bring the selected window forward, then Stop and Show again. Minimized/closed
+windows may stop producing frames. Protected content is not supported.
+
+On Linux, press **Choose a window or screen…** and approve the desktop's
+sharing dialog. Choose another source to add another panel. Stop releases
+that source's portal session; sharing it again asks for consent again.
+A desktop must implement both ScreenCast and RemoteDesktop for this path;
+a ScreenCast-only compositor cannot provide laser input through this API.
+Cancelling or denying a dialog is reported on the card. No portal permission
+is bypassed, and Frame Control does not open `/dev/uinput` or the unrestricted
+PipeWire daemon on the host.
+
+The host's own keyboard still works. Input from the viewer uses normalized
+picture coordinates, maps through the selected source's bounds, and releases
+held buttons/keys on blur, disconnect and Stop. Linux requires the pointer
+and keyboard grants. **Untested:** desktop-specific consent, mixed-DPI
+Windows input alignment, multi-monitor layouts, hardware encoder behavior,
+window resize/minimize, and non-US keyboard layouts.
+
+## Shared pieces
+
+- `ui/frame_macview.py` owns the SSH tunnel, reconnect supervision, quality
+  presets and panel launch for all hosts. `ui/frame_pcview.py` selects the PC
+  helper; `/api/macview` remains the compatible endpoint.
+- `ui/mac-view.html` is the one viewer. The 17-byte big-endian frame header,
+  Annex-B H.264/JPEG payloads, `hello`/`ack` reconnect handshake, clock sync,
+  `rx`/`fd` timing reports and input messages are unchanged.
+- `desktop/controller.c` is the rate controller shared by the Mac Swift
+  binding and the PC Python binding. Capture is gated **before** encoding;
+  encoded reference frames are never discarded. A bounded raw-frame queue
+  keeps the newest picture, including the last update of an idle window,
+  until the gate opens. A native one-frame-source test covers that case.
+  It keeps the Mac's bitrate demand protection and tier hysteresis.
+- PC records use the existing `Stats.swift` JSON schema, with bounded
+  4096-frame/512-input storage in `ui/frame_stream_stats.py`. The benchmark's
+  analysis, targets and network shaping are shared, not reimplemented.
+  Capture timestamps describe the native pipeline's source time; they do
+  not prove the time at which the host compositor displayed the pixels.
+- Mac virtual-display separation remains Mac-only. Windows WGC and the
+  Linux portal share the selected window directly.
+
+PC capture follows the shared frame-rate and resolution tiers. x264 updates
+bitrate while running. Hardware encoders are drained and reopened when the
+budget changes materially, at most once a second, because their live property
+support varies. Reopening starts a new keyframe and retains the consented
+portal session. **Untested:** hardware reconfiguration latency and whether a
+particular desktop permits reconnecting its PipeWire stream this way.
+
+## Build and measure
+
+Packaged Windows/Linux builds include `desktop/bundle/pc-host` and its shared
+libraries. Source checkouts build them with `python3 desktop/build.py` after
+installing GStreamer development packages (see the `PC host libraries` CI
+workflow). The feature reports a missing bundle; it does not download or
+install a streaming app on first use.
+
+The existing benchmark now accepts a PC host:
+
+```sh
+python3 scripts/macview-bench.py run --pc --scenario test --label pc-test
+# Linux: select a real source in the desktop's sharing dialog
+python3 scripts/macview-bench.py run --pc --scenario capture --source choose --label linux-window
+# Windows: use the HWND/monitor source ID shown by the host's /windows or /displays
+python3 scripts/macview-bench.py run --pc --scenario capture --source window:12345 --label windows-window
+```
+
+The synthetic PC pattern uses bundled x264 so headless CI can verify the
+wire protocol without claiming that a GPU was exercised. The `capture`
+scenario measures the selected real source without injecting input or
+assuming that it animates at 60 fps. Mac-only Chrome/virtual-display typing
+and scrolling automation is not run on PC hosts. Results retain the same
+latency stages and record `host_platform`, `pc_host` and `source`. CPU sampling
+on PC hosts is explicitly unavailable. `--net` and `--delay` still use the
+same bounded shaping relay, without administrator privileges.
+
+## Evidence
+
+- **Verified, Mac, 2026-09-28:** the final full unit/integration suite ran
+  183 tests successfully, including the real Mac helper's H.264, ticket, timing
+  and input-echo tests. The native PC test class was skipped locally because
+  its libraries were absent; the PC adapter and shared-controller tests passed.
+- **Verified, real Frame, 2026-09-28, BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901:** the base
+  helper's synthetic source created panel `valve.steam.desktopgame.2001639889`,
+  and the shared Chromium viewer decoded H.264. It recorded 286 frames over
+  the short probe, with a two-second summary of 19.5 fps shown and total
+  latency p50/p95 83/156.5 ms. This establishes the existing viewer/transport
+  route, not Windows/Linux capture, input or a latency target. The probe's
+  helper, tunnel and viewer were stopped afterward.
+- **Verified in CI:** native library builds and real x264 protocol tests passed
+  on Windows, Ubuntu x64 and Ubuntu ARM64 in
+  [run 36422214445](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/actions/runs/36422214445).
+  All four installer builds passed in
+  [run 36422214425](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/actions/runs/36422214425).
+  These are build/synthetic tests, not desktop-host verification. No VM was used.
+- **Verified, real Frame, same build/date:** the ARM64 PC agent and its
+  bundled libraries ran from a temporary user directory, using x264's moving
+  test pattern. Traffic travelled Frame → Mac SSH relay → Frame viewer.
+  The shared bench recorded 351 drawn frames, content p50/p95 15.1/80.3 ms,
+  and 34.8 fps. The frame-rate and late-frame targets failed. This checks the
+  new agent and real viewer together; it is not a representative PC link.
+  The helper exited 0, its viewer/tunnels stopped, and its directory was removed.
+  [Raw benchmark result](../bench/results/2026-09-28-c5fc552-dirty-pc-agent-frame-arm64-hairpin.json).
+  This first probe's input echo measured message receipt to the next capture,
+  not a visible pattern response; later builds make test clicks change its color.
+- **Verified, Mac:** all 600 states in a 60-second congestion/recovery trace
+  matched the original Swift controller. `tests/test_pc_controller.py` retains
+  the original trace digest as a regression check.
+- **Verified, real Frame, agent at `cd20243`:** the repeated synthetic
+  probe drew 400 frames at 39.3 fps, content p50/p95 15.1/28.6 ms, and synthetic
+  input-to-drawn p50 76.6 ms. Test clicks now change the pattern color before
+  injection is timestamped. The frame-rate/late-frame targets still failed;
+  this remains a Frame-hosted x264 test through a Mac relay, not a desktop or
+  physical-laser measurement. Helper exit 0 and cleanup succeeded.
+  [Latest device probe result](../bench/results/2026-09-28-cd20243-pc-agent-frame-arm64-final.json).
+- **Untested:** real Windows WGC → Media Foundation → Frame; real Linux
+  portal → PipeWire → VA-API/x264 → Frame; physical laser input on either.
+  No benchmark numbers for those desktop paths are claimed.
+
+## Independent review availability
+
+A direct read-only review was attempted with
+`devin -p --model swe-2-max --permission-mode auto --prompt-file …`. The first
+attempt exited 0 after rejecting a tool that needed interactive permission;
+it did not inspect the diff. A full inline-diff attempt returned no output
+for 15 minutes and was terminated (shell exit 143). A smaller inline native
+code review returned no output within 300 seconds (process exit -15).
+SWE-2 Max was requested; no completed review or findings were received, so
+independent review is **unverified**, not a passed check. The PR remains draft.
+
+## Device follow-up, 2026-09-29
+
+**Verified, read-only, SteamOS BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901:** the Frame was
+reachable, charging (44% initially, 63% at the end), and SteamVR reported
+activity level 3 (standby). No Plasma desktop was running. Introspection of
+the active `org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop` service exposed ScreenCast with
+source types 3, but no RemoteDesktop interface. **Inferred:** this gamescope
+session cannot provide this feature's required consented input path; a
+ScreenCast-only session is insufficient.
+
+**Blocked, not a device execution result:** the shared `/tmp/frame-test.lock`
+was held by another thread. Ten lock-acquisition attempts over five minutes
+all failed, after earlier preparation-time attempts also found it occupied.
+The current `a992f6d` ARM64 CI bundle was downloaded to the Mac, but nothing
+was installed, launched or stopped on the Frame. No new screenshots or
+current-revision device timings were obtained. The lock was not removed and
+no global settings were changed. The earlier synthetic results above remain
+valid only for their named revisions; standby visibility, physical laser
+input and worn-headset performance remain unverified.
+
+**Verified, Mac:** a fresh full suite ran 309 tests successfully, with one
+native-PC class skipped. Current-revision CI passed
+[native hosts](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/actions/runs/36504546909),

-Prints one JSON object. Errors are {"error": "..."} with exit status 1.
-
-Verified 2026-09-29 on SteamOS 0.4.1 (build 20260925.6191901), Proton 11.0
-ARM64 and SteamVR 2.18.1 with Gravitas (1067310): after injection the game has
-UEVRBackend.dll loaded and SteamVR counts frame submits for it. Stereo image,
-head tracking and controls were not seen: the headset was unworn (docs/mods.md).
-
-UEVR's own injector (a .NET WPF app) is not used. Under Wine and FEX it hung
-or ignored input in about one session in four, and gamescope keeps real input
-away from it. Instead the official Windows embeddable Python runs INJECT_PY in
-the game's Wine session, doing what the injector does on Inject.
-
-Nothing here is bundled. UEVR comes from praydog's GitHub release and Python
-from python.org, each checked against a pinned hash. Files live in
-<prefix>/drive_c/frame-control, never in the game's own folder, and a receipt
-records what to remove.

saphidandClaude Opus 5.5	a992f6d896	PC host: review fixes (idle watchdog, controller close race, malformed input, loader path) - The 10 s watchdog no longer ends idle sessions. PipeWire and WGC deliver frames only on damage; fail only when a frame entered the encoder and never came out, or the pipeline never produced its initial frame. - Controller.state/call/update are inert after close(), so a /status poll racing Stop cannot dereference the freed native controller. - Malformed viewer fields drop the event instead of ending the session. - PATH/LD_LIBRARY_PATH prepends add no empty (current directory) entry. - portal.c: document fd ownership. pipewiresrc dups the fd it is given (gstpipewirecore.c, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC), so the portal closing its own fd is correct; clear it after close.
