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

+## Open the app
+
+**Optional: open at login.** In the installed desktop app, choose **Frame → Open at Login**. It is off by default. When on, a login launch starts in the tray or menu bar if that control is available; click its icon to open the window, or use its **Quit Frame Control** menu item. Closing the window keeps the app in the tray while this option is on. Turn the same menu option off to remove its OS login item. On Linux this creates or removes only Frame Control's own file in `~/.config/autostart/` (or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart/`). If the desktop has no working tray, the window opens at login instead. A source checkout does not offer this setting.
+
+- **macOS:** open the `.dmg`, drag **Frame Control** to **Applications**, then
+  open it from Applications. For the Gatekeeper warning, use the macOS steps
+  above. Allow local network access and control of Terminal when prompted.
+- **Windows:** run the installer, then open **Frame Control** from Start. For
+  the portable download, extract the entire `.zip` first and run
+  `Frame Control.exe` inside it. See the SmartScreen note above.
+- **Linux:** install the `.deb` with your package installer and launch
+  **Frame Control** from your applications menu; or make the AppImage executable
+  and run it as described above. Install the OpenSSH client if `ssh` is missing.

 ## Set up the headset

-You type one password on the headset, once. Everything else happens on your
-computer.
+Keep the Frame awake and connect it and your computer to the same trusted local
+network. Guest Wi-Fi/client isolation can prevent discovery and connections.

 1. **On the Frame:** Steam Settings → System → **Enable Developer Mode**, then
-   in the Developer section, **Set User Password**. Pick something short:
-   you'll type it once more on your computer and then never again.
-2. **On your computer:** open Frame Control. It offers to **Set Up
-   Connection**, which finds the headset, creates an SSH key, and asks for that
-   password once in a terminal window. If it can't find the Frame, type the
-   IP address from the Frame's Quick Settings.
+   Developer → **Set User Password**. Choose a password that isn't easy to guess:
+   it also protects `sudo` and remote desktop, even after SSH keys are set up.
+2. **On your computer:** open Frame Control and choose **Set Up Connection…**.
+   If you dismissed the first-run prompt, use **Frame → Set Up Connection…**.
+   Setup opens a terminal and tries to find the headset. If it can't, use its IP
+   address from Quick Settings or Steam Settings → Internet. Windows/Linux setup
+   prompts for it; macOS exits instead. On macOS, return to the app →
+   **Devices & connection → + Add a headset…**, set SSH alias to `frame` for
+   the default headset, fill in **Address**, then choose **Set Up…**.
+3. **Pair or enter the password:** setup first tries Valve's devkit pairing.
+   Open Steam Settings → Developer → **Pair new host** in the headset and approve
+   only the request you just started. The service and pairing-mode step are
+   verified on a Frame; approval and key installation through that flow remain
+   unverified. If pairing fails or times out, setup falls back to asking for the
+   Developer Mode password in the computer's terminal. Password typing may show
+   no characters; press Enter when done. See [SSH details](docs/ssh.md#password-free-pairing-steamos-devkit-service).
+4. After setup succeeds, return to Frame Control. It uses SSH keys for later
+   connections whenever the Frame is awake and reachable. If it stays offline,
+   check Developer Mode, the address and network isolation, then run setup again.
+   For connections away from home, see [Tailscale](docs/tailscale.md).

-   Before asking for the password it tries Valve's SteamOS devkit pairing: in
-   the headset, open Steam Settings → Developer → **Pair new host** and approve
-   the request, and no password is needed. (The service and the pairing-mode
-   step are verified on a Frame; the approval itself isn't yet. See
-   [SSH](docs/ssh.md#password-free-pairing-steamos-devkit-service).)
-3. That's it. The app now reaches the headset whenever it's awake and on the
-   same network. For anywhere else, see [Tailscale](docs/tailscale.md).
+**Does Frame Control lower streaming lag?** No. Frame Control manages the Frame
+over SSH. SteamVR or Steam Link carries the game stream. Frame Control does not
+carry that stream, lower ping, or need the Wireless Adapter. It can connect over
+Wi-Fi, the Wireless Adapter, or USB when your computer has an SSH route to the
+Frame. The wired doctor checks only that SSH route. A data-capable USB-A-to-C
+cable has not been tested for the Frame's USB network. See the

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

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

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

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

+arm64-v8a present, OpenXR detected. No Frame connection or installation occurred.
+
+The itch OpenXR RSS was fetched successfully and recorded as a fixture.
+Subsequent live adapter search encountered HTTP 429; it is not claimed as a
+successful live end-to-end search. Fixture search finds Off Nominal and parses
+nine Android entries from the ten-item feed (one has only an HTML platform).
+A real itch download and APK inspection were deliberately not performed:
+robots restrictions take precedence over that requested proof. No current
+policy text is claimed verified where the table records failed access.
+
+Tests use recorded, reduced API/RSS fixtures with network access blocked in
+the new test class. They cover selection, prereleases, unknown topic results,
+paid/non-Android exclusion, URL restrictions, redirect credential removal,
+caching, rate limits, checksum mismatch, non-APK rejection and partial-file
+cleanup. See `.claude/NOTES-more-sources.md` for commands and local evidence.

+## Store and Library in Frame Control
+
+The Android tab has two views. **Store** finds apps across the sources (F-Droid,
+IzzyOnDroid, curated GitHub releases, itch.io). **Library** shows the apps on the
+Frame as cards, with Play and a menu for Test, Report and Remove; the display
+settings and recent reports are below it.
+
+Store search cards and app details also show **Reported not working** or
+**Reported issues** when saved compatibility reports say so. Details include
+the report date, version and notes. These are advisories: Install remains
+available unless the selected build has an existing compatibility blocker
+(for example, no arm64-v8a build or Android API above 30). Reports never clear
+those blockers. Apps reported not working are excluded from Home's featured
+app and recommendation shelves; search and category results still show them.
+An unrated install failure caused by the wrong APK architecture or Android API
+is ignored, using the same rules as the catalogue. A person's rating takes
+priority over automated results, with the latest rating winning.
+
+Reports warm in a background worker at server start. Search and details read
+only the last complete in-memory snapshot and schedule a single background
+refresh after 60 seconds; they never wait for disk, Keychain, a subprocess or
+the report database. During initial loading they show the usual build verdict;
+after a refresh, the next search or detail request sees the reports. Failed
+refreshes keep the previous snapshot and retry after another 60 seconds.
+
+**Availability:** public copies benefit from their own saved reports, including
+reports for apps outside the bundled catalogue, across every source with the
+same package name. This does not give public users the private shared ratings.
+The checked-in `apk-catalog/site/apps.js` contains predictions and no tested
+report verdicts, so it cannot supply a useful public report snapshot. No private
+reports, free-text notes or credentials are exported or published. The existing
+maintainer loader still uses its configured database access in the background;
+the search feature adds no sharing, endpoint or network destination. Tests leave
+the hook off by default (`FRAME_COMPAT_SEARCH_REPORTS=0` also disables it in
+server subprocesses) and use synthetic reports to exercise refresh behavior.
+
+The store groups apps by what a headset is good for, not by F-Droid's list:
+VR, Games, Emulators, Watch & listen, Read & learn, Create, Work, Web & chat
+and Tools (`ui/apk_sources/_categories.py`). A VR app is always in VR. Otherwise

+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

+## The store in the headset: Frame Control's store as a panel (inferred, not yet run on the Frame)
+
+The **APK Store** panel is the Store above, drawn for the laser: the same
+sources, categories and artwork, with Install, Open, Stop and Remove, opened as
+its own floating panel:
+
+```sh
+scripts/store-on-frame.sh open     # copy the server over if it changed, start it, open the panel
+scripts/store-on-frame.sh close
+```
+
+`open` copies the same bundle the iPhone app uses
+(`ios/scripts/make_frame_bundle.py`) to
+`~/.local/share/frame-control/store-server/<version>` on the Frame. It then
+starts `ui/server.py` there with `FRAME_LOCAL=1` on `127.0.0.1:47812`, with a
+fresh `X-Frame-UI` key. Chromium XR (or the `org.chromium.Chromium` Flatpak)
+opens `/store` (`ui/store.html`) in a 1280×800 app window, tagged as panel
+`2001947812` ([panels.md](panels.md)). Downloads, SHA-256 checks and installs
+all run on the Frame, so the Mac can go away after `open`.
+
+The page has a category rail (Home, the store's categories, Installed), eight
+art cards a page, and a featured VR app on Home. It turns pages instead of
+scrolling, because a tagged panel gets mouse clicks and a drag would select
+text; the thumbstick (a mouse wheel) turns pages, and an on-screen keyboard is
+there for search. **Checked on the Mac only** (2026-10-14, 1280×800, against
+the real sources): Home, categories, Installed, the detail sheet. **Still to
+check in the headset:** that the panel opens and takes laser clicks, that an
+install completes when run on the Frame, and that **Open** brings up the app's
+panel.

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

+# Backup and recovery
+
+**Tools → Backup & recovery** copies what a factory reset would lose from the
+Steam Frame to your computer, puts it back afterwards, and gets the headset out
+of Desktop Mode. It runs from Frame Control on a computer, not from the iPhone
+app or the Frame itself.
+
+**Partly tested on a headset.** On a Frame running SteamOS 0.5.6 (build
+20261015.6141207), a full backup saved 26 parts (40.7 MB): 14 games' Proton
+saves, Linux game saves, Steam and desktop settings and 9 Android apps' data,
+with no sign-in files or keys in the archives. Restoring one game's saves on top
+of identical files wrote nothing and left nothing behind. The session check
+reported Game Mode, so **Return to Game Mode** changed nothing. Not tested on a
+headset: a restore after a real factory reset, a restore that replaces files,
+Android data restore. Unit tests and the fake Frame cover those (see
+[Verification](#verification)).
+On 2026-10-24, the real-device reproduction in [issue #142](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/issues/142)
+confirmed full Plasma Desktop Mode on the same build: the Plasma session target
+was active and the Game Mode target inactive. Desktop Mode also ran gamescope
+for `steamvr-plasma.service`, so the old process check incorrectly reported
+Game Mode. SteamOS's `steamosctl switch-to-game-mode` restored Game Mode and
+reversed the target states; battery stayed at 99%, and the rollback timer and
+shared lock were cleaned up. After #143 passed CI, the corrected code was
+tested in another full Plasma session under a three-minute rollback timer.
+`ui/frame_backup.py session` reported Desktop Mode despite gamescope, and
+`ui/frame_backup.py game-mode` invoked the same guarded Return function used by
+the button. Game Mode became active and a second call made no switch. Battery
+remained at 99%; the timer and lock were removed. That test used the production
+CLI rather than clicking the desktop button.
+
+Later on 2026-10-24, the published **v0.4.17 Linux x86_64 AppImage** passed the
+literal packaged-button check on the same Frame/build. With the shared lock and
+a verified three-minute rollback timer, the headset entered full Plasma Desktop
+Mode. In the packaged Electron window, **Tools → Backup & recovery → Check**
+reported Desktop Mode despite gamescope. A trusted automated pointer click on
+the visible **Return to Game Mode** button, accepting its confirmation, returned
+`switched: true` and `steamosctl switch-to-game-mode`. The systemd targets then
+confirmed Game Mode. A second confirmed button click returned `switched: false`;
+the Game Mode service invocation and SteamVR PID stayed unchanged. **Check**
+then reported Game Mode and disabled Return. The test app/server and virtual
+display were stopped; the timer and shared lock were removed. Steam and SteamVR remained running
+at 99% battery. [Commands, responses, cleanup and limits](evidence/return-game-mode-packaged-2026-10-24.json),
+[before](evidence/return-game-mode-packaged-2026-10-24-before.png) and
+[after](evidence/return-game-mode-packaged-2026-10-24-after.png).
+
+This used the unchanged extracted AppImage payload with its bundled Python on
+Xvfb (`--no-sandbox --disable-gpu`), following the packaged Export test in #156.
+FUSE mounting, desktop integration, hardware rendering and the view inside a
+worn headset were not checked. Older SteamOS builds remain fixture-tested.

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

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

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

+# Connection and streaming lag FAQ
+
+## Does Frame Control lower my streaming lag?
+
+No. Frame Control uses SSH to manage the Frame. SteamVR or Steam Link sends the
+game stream. Frame Control does not carry the game stream. It cannot lower your
+game-stream ping or fix a stream that stops on the PC. A 40–75 ms ping in a VR
+game is not a Frame Control measurement.
+
+You do **not** need the Steam Wireless Adapter to use Frame Control. The app can
+connect over Wi-Fi, the Wireless Adapter, or USB if the computer has an SSH
+route to the Frame. Use the route that lets the app connect. To improve game
+streaming, check the SteamVR or Steam Link connection on the PC and the Frame.
+The [wired connection doctor](wired-connection.md) checks only Frame Control's
+SSH route. A successful doctor check does not prove that the game stream uses
+the cable or has low lag.
+
+## Can I use a USB-A-to-C cable?
+
+A Mac reached the Frame over a USB-C connection on the
+`10.86.200.232/29` USB network. That test used a USB-C host port. We have
+**not tested a USB-A-to-C cable** with the Frame. A data-capable USB-A-to-C
+cable might show a USB network interface on your PC, but this is unknown on
+the tested Frame OS and PC hosts. Check whether your PC shows that interface
+and whether Frame Control's wired doctor can reach the Frame at
+`10.86.200.233`. A charge-only cable cannot carry USB data. You can use Wi-Fi
+for Frame Control if the USB route does not work.

+# What we have tested
+
+Release baseline: Frame Control **v0.4.41**, 26 October 2026. Rows also identify verified post-release main changes explicitly. “Real Frame + physical PC” means an actual headset and a non-virtual computer. “VM only” means a Windows virtual machine, sometimes connected to the real Frame. A CI test or a simulated device is **not** a physical hardware test. The date/version column is the last relevant check, not a promise that every new release was retested on that platform. See each link for the exact procedure and limits.

A private Decky 3.3.0 service returned read-only ProtonDB and Steam Status setting RPCs; a later locked check verified the official Notebook default drawing/save/reopen flow and Simple Timer backend events in local Chromium | No | The loader remains opt-in. Installs/updates reject an archive whose Decky name collides with another installed plugin before download and under the headset transaction lock; this safety path has host/fake Frame tests, not a new real-headset collision test. v0.4.41 classifies the 116 exact-version plugins as 3 works, 48 partial, 54 broken and 11 not applicable. Notebook works for its default flow; Volume Mixer and Mixer work for tested per-app silent-stream volume control only. TabMaster is partial. Deck Shelves moved to partial after its exact chunked frontend rendered settings in local Chromium; its backend and Steam Home shelves remain unverified. Steamback, PlayTime and Deck Settings became partial after detached read-only library/user snapshots and isolated amd64 backend checks; their official ARM64 backends, automatic behavior and VR panels remain unverified. A read-only Steam bridge returned the Frame country, install folders and system information; IsThereAnyDeal selected that country in local Chromium, but its deployed HTTP endpoint and deal lookup remain unverified. An isolated ARM64 LocalSend core answered its info endpoint, but the official x86-only plugin archive and file transfers remain blocked. Volume Mixer and Mixer controlled a named silent stream through real ARM64 Decky with independent Pulse readbacks; Volume Boost default-sink reads matched, but real writes were denied. Audible output, Bluetooth playback, internal-node controls and worn VR remain unverified. Most official backends and VR controls remain unverified.

+| Experimental Framey VR plugin panels and store | Unattended Frame OS 0.5.6 runs showed the Framey sample panel in stereo compositor and mirror captures. The latest standby-gated exercise restored the original power settings and released its shared lock. Synthetic OpenVR clicks changed a live sample setting, read its Decky backend file and confirmed it after a fresh iframe reopen | No | This was the repository sample, not an official store plugin. Physical controllers, native scrolling, VR keyboard, wearer comfort and legibility remain unverified. CSS Loader and SteamGridDB exact archives passed fake Frame install/remove and panel packing; this does not establish theme or artwork controls in VR.

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

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

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

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

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

+# Headset smoke: unavailable x86 runtime is a skip
+
+The v0.4.41 tagged smoke result recorded 13/13 passed even though its x86_64 launch outcome was `runtime missing`: Steam had acknowledged the title but had not started it. This follow-up separates an unavailable optional runtime from a verified launch. It keeps the smoke usable on a Frame without Steam Linux Runtime 4 while making the missing coverage explicit in its console summary and saved JSON.
+
+Focused local `test_smoke_cleanup.py` ran **22 tests successfully**. The new regression starts an x86_64 title cycle with a fresh missing-runtime Steam log, verifies `skipped=true` and `outcome=runtime missing`, and verifies that the title is still removed. A result test checks separate passed/skipped/failed counts and a zero exit code when an optional runtime is absent but nothing fails.
+
+The revised `scripts/frame-smoke.sh` then ran on the real Frame from this branch. It acquired its unique owner in `/tmp/frame-test.lock` before any headset read. Locked preflight found SteamVR activity 3 (standby), proximity 6.25 and battery 99%. On Frame OS 0.5.6 build `20261022.6153909`, the result was **12 passed / 1 skipped / 0 failed**. ARM64 and Proton test executables ran; x86_64 was explicitly skipped because Steam Linux Runtime 4 was not installed. Both title cleanup steps passed. The command exited 0, including release of its owned shared lock. The detailed result remains private at `tests/smoke/results/2026-10-26T050711Z-20261022.6153909.json` in the test checkout.
+
+The headset was in standby and nobody wore it for this test. Title smoke does not prove wearer-visible pixels, physical controller input, official Decky panels, audio output or comfort. It also does not prove x86_64 runtime execution on this Frame; that path needs the optional runtime present. The hourly worn check remains enabled.

+The unmodified official Storage Cleaner 1.4.0 archive (store ID 50, SHA-256

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

+# Official audio plugins on the ARM64 Frame
+
+Volume Mixer 1.2.1-1 (38) and Mixer 0.1.0 (144) now qualify as **works for
+per-app volume control**. Their exact official, unmodified Python backends ran
+in published Decky 3.3.0 ARM64 on Frame OS 0.5.6. Local Chromium rendered the
+actual Framey panels and changed only a deliberately created silent playback
+stream in the Frame's real user audio session. Independent Pulse readbacks
+confirmed the changes. This is useful backend behavior, not initializer-only
+or fake-backend evidence.
+
+Volume Boost 0.0.7 (58) remains **partial**. Its real ARM64 default-sink reads
+matched independent `pactl` reads, and its controls rendered. Default-sink writes
+were denied throughout the real-Frame run. Its earlier slider/numeric write
+checks used an isolated amd64 virtual sink.
+
+[Digest-pinned observations and cleanup](framey-audio-arm64-2026-10-26.json)
+record both runs. No physical audible output or worn-VR result is claimed.
+
+| Plugin | Real Frame result | Remaining limits |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Volume Mixer | `pulsectl`/`ravel` import; real Pulse session discovery; silent-stream slider click 100 → 50%, ArrowDown → 45%; reopen reads back the 38% subsequently set by Mixer | Bluetooth discovery/playback commands, audible output and worn-VR input unverified. The range input rounds the reopened 0.38000488 backend value to its configured step; no extra write occurred. |
+| Volume Boost | `pactl` default sink and stereo channel parsing; both backend reads return 0 and agree with independent 0% / 0% sink reads; local panel shows 0 | No real default-sink writes or boosts; no audible output or worn-VR result. Zero alone is not proof: upstream returns 0 when its command fails. |
+| Mixer | `pw-dump`/`wpctl` available; real playbacks/settings reads; exact silent-stream numeric input 37%, ArrowUp → 38%, independently read back | Exposes internal Frame PipeWire nodes as well as apps. Internal-node controls and Reset were not exercised. Filter persistence passed on amd64 earlier, not ARM64. Audible output and worn-VR input unverified. |
+
+## Runtime and transport
+
+The normal atomic `/tmp/frame-test.lock` was acquired separately for each run.
+An existing owner would abort testing; the lock was never stolen. The headset
+was not woken, and no power setting was changed.
+
+The actual Frame UID is 1000. The legacy plugins' hard-coded
+`XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1000` therefore reaches this Frame's existing audio
+session. Volume Mixer's bundled pure Python wrappers successfully loaded the
+system ARM64 Pulse and D-Bus libraries. No native rebuild was needed. It also
+sets `HOME=/home/deck` inside its own plugin process; this test does not establish
+that arbitrary Deck paths work on the Frame.
+
+The upstream `PluginLoader-arm64` release was verified against GitHub's
+published SHA-256 and ELF machine 183 before transfer. Two private, bounded,
+removable user-service installs used their own Decky plugins/settings bases.
+Neither service was enabled. The normal managed Decky service was already
+failed, and the normal headset-panel service inactive; both states remained
+unchanged. A pre-existing `/tmp/VolumeMixer-decky.log` would have aborted the
+run because the upstream plugin truncates that fixed path during import.
+
+The local relay served actual `ui/headset.html`, vendored React, `framey-host.js`
+and digest-checked official frontend bytes in an opaque `allow-scripts` iframe.
+Only outer status/install responses were fixtures. Plugin RPC used production
+`framey_panel.call_method`, SSH through lxso2, `frame_steam.Page`, the live Steam
+CEF `DeckyBackend.call`, and actual Decky plugin subprocesses. Private install
+paths were redirected to the temporary base. No second Decky websocket client
+was attached. This does not verify the deployed headset HTTP endpoint or a VR
+compositor interaction.
+
+## Safe control check
+
+The first run was read-only. Independent `pactl info`, default-sink volume and
+`pw-dump` commands exited successfully, so empty/zero fallback values were not
+accepted on their own. Volume Mixer saw a live Steam stream; Mixer also saw
+Frame spatialization, echo-cancellation and ALSA internal nodes.
+
+For the second run, a separate task-owned transient user service ran:
+
+```sh
+paplay --raw --format=s16le --rate=48000 --channels=2 \
+  --client-name=FrameySilentARM64 \
+  --stream-name='Framey ARM64 silent verification' /dev/zero
+```
+
+This sends zero-valued samples to the existing user server. It is an explicit
+silent client, not the earlier private null-server fixture. No server, device,
+default-route or physical-sink configuration was changed. The relay resolved
+its live stream IDs before every write and allowed only this exact application
+name, bounded to 80% volume. The spatialization node with a similar prefix was
+excluded. All Volume Boost writes, Mixer Reset/settings writes and Bluetooth
+commands were denied. Existing streams and internal nodes were never write
+targets. This broader real-session check supersedes the earlier suggested
+null-server-only ARM64 follow-up; that older fixture could not prove access to
+the Frame's real session.
+
+Every browser-triggered volume RPC was followed by independent
+`pactl --format=json list sink-inputs` channel readback. Only the named silent
+stream's rows are published. Background streams can appear/disappear naturally;
+no whole-session stability claim is made.
+
+## Cleanup and catalog interpretation
+
+Both runs removed their private Decky units/bases and the test-created fixed
+plugin log. The live run also stopped its transient silent client. Decky's main
+process exited during shutdown but left children waiting; those remaining
+processes were killed only within the test service's systemd cgroup before
+cleanup completed. Both locks were released after cleanup. An independent
+fresh-lock audit confirmed all three test units unloaded/inactive with PID 0,
+private paths absent, and no named silent stream. Battery was 100 → 100 and
+independent default-sink reads stayed 0% / 0% in both runs.
+
+The canonical store data and generated compatibility table now report
+**3 works / 48 partial / 54 broken / 11 N/A**. “Works” describes the tested
+per-app control behavior; read each row's remaining limits. Historical
+[fake-Frame archive checks](framey-module-lookup-2026-10-26.md) cover transport
+with plugin execution stubbed, and the
+[earlier local audio checks](framey-audio-backends-2026-10-26.md) cover isolated
+amd64 controls/filter persistence. Neither is relabelled as a real ARM64 test.
+
+## Repository checks
+
+The full Python suite passed 1,621 tests (16 skips), and the focused Framey
+suite passed all 43 tests. `scripts/framey-compatibility-doc.py --check` and
+`git diff --check` passed. A fresh official-store fetch at 04:11:59 UTC found
+all 116 IDs, versions and digests unchanged. This PR changes catalog/evidence
+and generated documentation; it adds no backend shim or plugin patch.

+# Official audio plugins: local real-backend checks
+
+Historical amd64 run. The [later ARM64 Frame check](framey-audio-arm64-2026-10-26.md)
+supersedes the ARM64 gaps and follow-up plan below; it promotes the two per-app
+mixers to works for their verified scope. Volume Boost remains partial.
+
+Volume Mixer 1.2.1-1 (38), Volume Boost 0.0.7 (58) and Mixer 0.1.0 (144)
+passed useful audio controls in local Chromium with their **unmodified official
+Python backends running in actual Decky 3.3.0**. All three remain **partial**:
+this run used amd64 Linux, and Frame ARM64 dependencies/audio-session mapping
+are unverified. The shared headset lock was occupied; no headset reads or
+changes occurred. No worn-VR result is claimed.
+
+The private test container and browser relay were removed after verification.
+
+The [machine-readable observations](framey-audio-backends-2026-10-26.json)
+pin all three official archives and the published Decky binary digest, and
+record each browser-triggered write with independent `pactl` channel readbacks.
+
+| Plugin | Useful behavior checked | Still unverified on Frame |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Volume Mixer | Discover two playback streams; slider click and ArrowDown change only the selected stream, 100 → 50 → 45%; other stream remains 100% | ARM64 libpulse/libdbus, actual user audio session, Bluetooth playback controls |
+| Volume Boost | Both-channel slider; separate right-channel change preserves left; reopen restores sync preference and actual values; exact numeric left entry; syncing disables both right controls | `pactl`, default sink, hard-coded runtime UID, physical output, boost above 100% |
+| Mixer | Exact stream volume 37 → 38%, independently read back; invalid 101 and off-step 37.5 produce no write; playback filter saved, survives actual Decky restart, hides the intended stream on reopen | `pw-dump`/`wpctl`, actual Frame session, physical output, worn VR |
+
+## Reproduced host gap
+
+Both Volume Boost and Mixer request `SliderField.editableValue`. Framey
+previously ignored that prop and rendered only a range slider. It now supplies
+an accessible numeric input with the same minimum, maximum, step and disabled
+state, and emits numeric `onChange` values. Empty, non-finite, out-of-range and
+browser-invalid drafts do not reach a backend. No official archive was patched.
+This also makes the control available to other plugins requesting that prop;
+it does not establish their compatibility.
+
+## Runtime and isolation
+
+The disposable Debian 13 container ran PipeWire 1.4.2, WirePlumber 0.5.8 and
+PulseAudio client tools 17.0. Docker used `--network none --cap-drop ALL
+--security-opt no-new-privileges`, no host audio sockets and no sound devices.
+Only the archive cache and test inputs were mounted, read-only. Debian 12 was
+insufficient for the published Decky binary's GLIBC requirement; that initial
+runtime did not start.
+
+Private environment:
+
+```text
+XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/framey-audio-runtime
+PIPEWIRE_REMOTE=framey-audio
+PULSE_SERVER=unix:/tmp/framey-audio-runtime/pulse-native
+DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/tmp/framey-audio-runtime/bus
+DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/tmp/framey-audio-runtime/bus
+```
+
+XDG config/data/state and both Decky paths were below the private test base.
+Decky ran unprivileged with `CHOWN_PLUGIN_PATH=0`, `LIVE_RELOAD=0`,
+`USE_CEF_CLOSE_WORKAROUND=0` and `KEEP_SYSTEMD_SERVICE=1`. A private D-Bus
+session satisfied Volume Mixer's import; there was no real BlueZ service.
+Its fixed `/tmp/VolumeMixer-decky.log` existed only inside the container.
+
+The JSON includes the complete PipeWire server configuration: only a dummy
+driver and null stereo sink, no hardware factories. A second PipeWire process
+loaded protocol-native, client-node, adapter, metadata and protocol-pulse with
+the private absolute socket. `wireplumber --profile policy` managed this server;
+that installed profile contains no hardware monitors. Only private default-sink
+metadata was selected. Two `paplay --raw --format=s16le --rate=48000 --channels=2
+/dev/zero` clients supplied silence named `FrameySilent0` and `FrameySilent1`.
+Without policy, successful volume RPCs initially left readbacks unchanged; those
+fixture attempts are excluded from the passing observations.
+
+The browser relay served actual `ui/headset.html`, vendored React 18.3.1,
+`ui/framey-host.js` and the exact archived frontends in an opaque `allow-scripts`
+iframe. Outer headset/installed-plugin responses were fixture-shaped. Backend
+RPC used the official Decky websocket protocol inside the isolated container:
+`loader/call_legacy_plugin_method` with keyword objects for 38/58 and
+`loader/call_plugin_method` with positional arguments for 144. This bypassed
+Steam CEF and the production SSH/CDP transport; neither is an audio verification
+claim from this run.
+
+The relay allowed discovery/settings reads, bounded volume writes only to
+identified `FrameySilent` streams/the private default sink, and Mixer filters
+`[]` or `["FrameySilent0"]` with boost limit 0. It denied Bluetooth commands,
+`reset_volumes` and boosts. Every volume write was followed by a separate
+`pactl -f json list sinks` / `list sink-inputs` read. A clean Decky shutdown and
+restart retained Mixer's actual settings file and filter behavior.
+
+Earlier full-catalog fake-Frame evidence for these exact digests covers
+install/receipt/frontend/removal transport, with plugin execution stubbed.
+The new evidence adds actual local backend execution; it does not turn that
+older fake-Frame result into an ARM64 backend test.
+
+## Regression checks
+
+The required server suite passed 1,612 tests (16 skips); all 38 focused Framey
+tests and both website tests passed. The 116-plugin browser audit retained
+98 initializer-ready / 18 failed, with no change to any ready state. That audit
+keeps backend/network actions denied. A fresh official catalog fetch confirmed
+all 116 IDs, versions and digests unchanged.
+
+## Next device check
+
+Acquire the normal atomic `/tmp/frame-test.lock`; refuse an existing owner.
+First inspect available tools/libraries and audio runtime UID. If supported,
+repeat with a private ARM64 Decky user service, isolated audio socket, dummy
+sink/streams and hardware discovery disabled. Check Volume Mixer's fixed log
+path for collisions before loading it. Never attach the fixture to the normal
+headset output/default server. Remove only test-owned services/processes/files,
+read back original service/battery state and release only the matching lock.
+Keep all three partial until that check passes; physical output, Bluetooth and
+worn-VR controls need separate evidence.

+fallbacks for the three Bluetooth labels that lack plugin-owned fallbacks.
+The test leaves React effects and click

+VR. No worn-headset check has passed for this plugin.

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

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

Its API v1 `connect(1, "Deck Shelves")` bridge sits in `chunks/decky-api-WgbNuFYS.js`, not in the entry file; the original static scanner therefore reported its frontend API as unknown. Framey's prior blob import failed before initialization because a blob URL has no directory in which to resolve `./chunks/...`. The [numeric observation](framey-deck-shelves-browser-2026-10-26.json) and [local Chromium capture](framey-deck-shelves-browser-2026-10-26.png) record a targeted follow-up using the unchanged official frontend.
+
+Framey now serves JavaScript files from the managed plugin's `dist` directory using hierarchical module URLs. Its opaque `allow-scripts` iframe still has no Frame UI key. Local Chromium received HTTP 200 for the entry and eight chunks, reported the initializer ready, and rendered the settings panel with “Enable shelves on Home,” “Create default shelves,” “Behavior,” and “Shelves.” The browser audit denied the attempted `get_settings` backend call, Steam library read and plugin network access. No backend method executed.
+
+The catalog moves this exact version from broken to **partial** for visible local settings only. The plugin's main feature injects shelves into Steam Home; Framey has no verified Steam Home patch target. Settings writes, official backend behavior, real Frame module serving, wearer-visible VR, and physical controller input remain unverified. The [compatibility table](../framey-compatibility.md) and store views retain these limits.
+
+## Exact source real Frame gates
+
+The exact source commit `b0c4647b856035c970ae27ea4e2ddbf6e51f6963` ran the unattended `scripts/framey-vr-check.py --exercise` on SteamOS build `20261022.6153909` under its unique shared-lock owner. Preflight found SteamVR activity 3 (standby), battery 100%, and proximity 6.25. The repository sample panel appeared, stereo compositor pixels changed, and `/dev/video99` supplied a mirror frame. Synthetic OpenVR pointer input changed the sample setting through actual Decky; the value survived a fresh iframe reopen. Native scroll did not move. The runner removed its temporary services and recovery timer, read back the original `false`/`5` power values, found battery 99%, reported no cleanup errors, and released its lock.
+
+The same source then passed `scripts/frame-smoke.sh` **13/13** on the real Frame, starting from standby at battery 99%. Its final cleanup step passed. The [sanitized result fields](framey-deck-shelves-browser-2026-10-26.json) omit room pixels, raw overlays, identifiers, and settings contents; private captures were not committed. These gates exercise the Framey repository sample and generic install/launch/remove paths. They do **not** exercise Deck Shelves' official ARM64 backend or prove its settings or shelves in VR. No person wore the headset and no physical controller was checked.

+# Framey activation and dialog follow-up — 2026-10-26
+
+AlarMe 1.6.3 now has usable timer, preset and stopwatch controls in the local
+Framey host with its official backend running on the ARM64 Frame. It remains
+**partial**. This check does not establish audio, alarm/reminder, sleep-control,
+background-notification or worn-VR compatibility.
+
+The exact archive is store ID 124, SHA-256
+`17d4166a9e98979df5fdb07c7eae42317acd54a453d3b82757508f971193c0fe`.
+See the [structured results](framey-dialog-controls-2026-10-26.json).
+
+## Reproduced blockers and repairs
+
+AlarMe uses DFL `Focusable.onActivate` for timer pause, save-as-preset, cancel,
+preset deletion, tabs and stopwatch controls. Framey's previous `div`
+passthrough ignored that callback: clicks on the save/pause controls did not
+dispatch backend calls. Focusable now maps pointer activation and Enter/Space
+to plugin callbacks, exposes a keyboard focus target and respects disabled
+controls. A click does not invoke both `onClick` and `onActivate` when a plugin
+supplies both; nested activation stops bubbling to the parent action.
+
+The previous ConfirmModal omitted `strDescription`, Cancel, middle actions and
+disabled flags. showModal did not inject a `closeModal` callback into custom
+dialog components, and every Close handle cleared the same root. A confirmation
+opened by another dialog could therefore disappear when the earlier action
+closed. Dialogs also appeared below the panel's long page content.
+
+Dialogs now occupy a scrollable overlay inside the opaque iframe. They preserve
+the underlying dialog's mounted state, receive scoped close callbacks, support
+Close/ClosedPromise/Update, show confirmation descriptions and cancel/middle
+actions, and respect disabled flags. The underlying plugin surface becomes
+inert while a dialog is open; Tab stays in the top dialog, Escape cancels it and
+closing restores focus. Steam popouts and controller navigation are not emulated.
+
+43 official archives import ConfirmModal and 65 import Focusable in this
+snapshot. These are shared API surfaces, **not** verification or status
+promotions for every importing plugin.
+
+## Real backend and local browser verification
+
+Held the normal atomic shared headset lock. Installed the exact official archive
+through the production archive validation/extraction path into a random private
+directory. Used published Decky 3.3.0 ARM64, an unprivileged user service that was
+never enabled, with a 900-second runtime bound and five-second stop timeout.
+RPCs and events used Framey's production receipt-bound bridge through real Steam
+CEF. The Chromium host served repository headset.html, React and framey-host.js;
+its status endpoints were fixture-shaped, while AlarMe RPCs/events were live.
+
+The initial private settings seed used the plugin display name instead of the
+archive folder. A safety assertion failed on readback of the defaults before any
+timer action. That service/data was removed and the lock released. The corrected
+run read back subtle mode, zero volume, no auto-suspend, no sleep inhibition and
+no overlay before exposing actions. Its relay allowed only the documented safe
+methods; sound, suspend, sleep-inhibitor and arbitrary plugin actions were denied.
+
+Verified with actual browser clicks and real backend readback:
+
+1. Add Label opened a custom timer dialog. Created a silent five-minute timer
+   named `Framey silent private timer`; live backend ticks changed its display.
+2. Pause and save-as-preset activated after the Focusable repair. Backend
+   readback reported a paused timer and its saved preset.
+3. Delete Preset showed the preset's name in its confirmation description.
+   Cancel closed the dialog without dispatching `remove_preset`; readback kept
+   the preset. Reopening and choosing Delete dispatched it once and removed it.
+4. Cancel removed the private timer. Watch opened the stopwatch; Start, Lap and
+   Pause produced real backend state and events.
+5. Closing and reopening the panel retained the paused stopwatch at 34.339
+   seconds and one lap. Reset cleared it. Final readback showed no active timers,
+   no laps and no active sleep inhibitor.
+
+A separate local Chromium DOM fixture passed 14 checks for nested-dialog state,
+scoped handles, descriptions, disabled buttons, Cancel, Escape, Tab wrapping,
+Close/ClosedPromise/Update and pointer/Enter/Space activation. These programmatic
+DOM checks do not verify physical input devices.
+
+Review follow-up: Update also injects the scoped close callback into replacement
+dialogs. Node regression contracts update to ConfirmModal and exercise both OK
+and Cancel, with and without a plugin close callback, then await ClosedPromise.
+They verify that the replacement's callback runs once and the original callback
+is not retained. This extends the local host's Update behavior so replacements
+remain dismissible; this follow-up was not rerun in Chromium or on the headset.
+
+## Cleanup and remaining limits
+
+Removed both private service units, bases and uploaded archives; reloaded the
+user service manager and released the matching shared lock. A fresh locked audit
+confirmed both units were not found, inactive and PID zero, with all test paths
+absent. Managed Decky remained failed and the headset panel inactive, matching
+the initial state. Battery was 97% before and 96% after. No power settings changed.
+
+AlarMe stays partial. Audio, sound imports, alarms/reminders, auto-suspend and
+`/dev/uinput` sleep inhibition were not exercised. Steam's global/in-game overlay
+has no injection target inside Framey's isolated panel. Notifications require
+the plugin panel to remain open. The deployed headset HTTP host, worn VR and
+physical controller/keyboard input were not tested in this pass.
+
+The store and documentation use the same exact-digest catalog reason. Aggregate
+counts remain **4 works / 49 partial / 52 broken / 11 N/A**.
+
+Validation: all 116 official IDs/versions/digests unchanged on store refresh;
+fake-Frame 60 installed/removed and 56 blocked; full Python suite 1,628 tests,
+16 skipped; Framey action/running Node contracts and both site test files pass.
+The no-Steam-context Chromium pass attempted all 116 frontends (101 initialized,
+15 failed); backend and network access were denied throughout that pass.
+The repeat with synthetic library/running context initialized 104 of 116, with no
+initialization regressions against the prior context-replay pass. Neither
+initialization pass is a useful-functionality check.

+# Junk-Store About and read-only installed metadata
+
+Junk-Store 1.1.13 (official ID 84) now renders its About and Dependencies tabs
+without the `local_per_client_data.installed` crash recorded in the
+[script-entrypoint audit](framey-script-entrypoints-2026-10-26.md). It remains
+**partial**. The catalog and both store views use the same updated reason.
+
+The library snapshot omitted the entire `local_per_client_data` object. The
+official frontend dereferences it to display its dependency controls. Under the
+shared headset lock, a read-only probe confirmed that the real Frame exposes
+this object for the two Proton runtimes, but neither has an `installed` boolean.
+Across 1,106 app overviews, 41 had `installed: true`, none had `false`, and 1,065
+had no installed boolean. Those absent values must not be relabelled as false.
+
+The snapshot adds one bounded scalar per app: a Steam-supplied boolean or null.
+Framey's detached overview creates a minimal metadata object, copying `installed`
+only for a boolean. Null leaves that property undefined. No client IDs, paths,
+other metadata, live Steam objects or methods cross the iframe boundary. Eight
+scalar rows remain accepted, and running-app updates preserve library metadata.
+The snapshot still refreshes at panel open; it is not a live installation feed.
+
+## Actual ARM64 backend and local Chromium
+
+The unmodified, hash-verified official archive ran in published Decky 3.3.0 ARM64
+on Frame OS 0.5.6 using a private, bounded, removable user service. Legendary was
+absent; no dependency installer, runtime install, login, game operation or custom
+backend download was invoked. The exact plugin and loader digests are in the
+[redacted results](framey-installed-context-2026-10-26.json).
+
+Local Chromium ran the actual Framey host and official frontend in an opaque
+iframe. The production receipt-bound bridges read the real Steam library and
+called the official ARM64 backend's static menu actions. About content and its
+tab list, Dependencies controls, Back, close/reopen, and About again passed.
+No dependency buttons were pressed. The real library counts matched the probe.
+
+The optional localhost websocket was blocked by the test relay CSP; RSS was
+deliberately denied. Outer status/install/check replies were fixtures; incomplete
+outer extension/status and running-context replies are excluded from the plugin
+claim. The screenshot still used the catalog reason from before this follow-up.
+Dependency installation, login, game operations, RSS, websocket operations,
+shortcut changes, deployed headset HTTP and worn VR remain unverified.
+
+## Cleanup and regression checks
+
+The initial cleanup SSH timed out while the private Decky unit was deactivating.
+Recovery checked the matching lock owner, killed only that exact test unit, and
+removed its private base, unit file and archive. A fresh locked audit independently
+confirmed unloaded/inactive/PID 0 and no artifacts, then released its lock. Normal
+managed Decky/panel services stayed inactive; battery was 99 → 99. No power-setting
+action ran. Local relay and owned browser tab are closed.
+
+- Full Python suite: 1,628 tests, 16 skipped, no failures; focused panel: 22 passed.
+- Framey action/running Node contracts passed, including true/false/unknown,
+  malformed metadata, detached values, old rows and running-update preservation.
+- Both site test files passed. Generated docs and diff checks passed.
+- All 116 exact official archives passed the fake-Frame audit: 60 installed/removed,
+  56 expected blocks; disposable project removed. Backend execution is stubbed in
+  that harness. The fresh official store has 116 entries, no audit errors, and an
+  unchanged ID/version/digest set.
+
+No new works claim is made. Catalog totals remain **4 works / 49 partial / 52 broken
+/ 11 N/A**; only Junk-Store's verified scope and remaining limits change.

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

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

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

+# Framey-local module lookup: official plugin checks
+
+TabMaster 2.15.1 now renders its QAM and bundled documentation in local Chromium.
+Opening its docs, selecting Overview and Filters, and returning to the panel
+passed. Its status moves from **broken to partial**: library editing controls
+remain disabled because Steam login, live MobX reactions and library-page
+patches are unavailable. This is not working library-tab customization.
+
+The [observations](framey-module-lookup-2026-10-26.json) pin each tested official
+archive and the actual Decky 3.3.0 amd64 binary. The complete current official
+store was refreshed: all 116 IDs, versions and digests match the catalog.
+
+| Plugin | Result | Remaining limitation |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| TabMaster 61 | Partial: QAM and documentation navigation render | Steam library editing unavailable; ARM64 and worn VR unverified |
+| Junk-Store 84 | Loading and backend-error views render without the CSS lookup crash | Actual startup/static InitActions return an execution/JSON error; extracted scripts lack executable permission; remains broken |
+| SteamGridDB 36 | Module mapping is callable | Still needs Steam's LibraryContextMenu implementation; remains broken |
+| DeckSP 102 | Optional UI-audio lookup succeeds | Published bundle accesses PluginManager before initialization when MobX reaction is absent; remains broken |
+| Audio Loader 16 | Optional UI-audio lookup succeeds | Still requires Steam's mutable audio playback store; remains broken |

+The host exposes a finite registry of its own components and styled CSS maps,
+with DFL module/export/class lookup and mapping semantics. Unknown matches return
+undefined or an empty mapping. An optional audio export explicitly reports
+unavailable; invoking playback throws. No Steam webpack cache, function-source
+signature, audio store or library patch was manufactured.
+
+The full exact-bundle browser pass ran with backend and network calls denied.
+It completed 102 initializers and failed 14, versus 101/15 before this theme.
+Initializer readiness alone does not establish rendered or useful behavior.
+After integrating main’s #286/#287/#288, all 116 were retried: 103 initializers
+completed and 13 failed. The additional completion is Deck Shelves from #286;
+no previously completed initializer regressed.
+
+Focused checks used actual `ui/headset.html`, React 18.3.1 and opaque
+`allow-scripts` iframes. Status/installed-plugin responses were fixture-shaped,
+and the private detached library snapshot from the earlier Frame SSH check was
+replayed. The relay allowed only TabMaster log/settings reads and Junk-Store's
+static `init/InitActions` action. TabMaster's official backend returned the
+default setting, empty users dictionary and empty tags. Junk-Store returned a
+structured Type Error, which its panel displayed. RSS/network, login, installs,
+launch actions and other backend methods were denied.
+
+The unmodified Python backends ran in actual Decky 3.3.0 inside a disposable
+unprivileged amd64 container with no network, host audio, devices or user-data
+mounts. This bypasses Steam CEF and is not a headset HTTP/RPC check. The normal
+headset lock was briefly acquired and released for read-only dependency/service
+availability; no official plugin ran there in this theme. No ARM64 or worn-VR
+result is claimed.
+
+## Regression checks
+
+- 1,621 server tests passed, 16 skipped; all 43 focused Framey tests passed
+  after integrating the latest main.
+- Both site test files passed.
+- All 116 exact archives passed the fake-Frame audit: 60 install/remove flows
+  and 56 expected blockers. Official backend execution remained stubbed.
+- The unique fake-Frame project and its volumes were removed. The focused
+  backend container and both loopback helpers were removed after the checks.
+
+The catalog and generated compatibility table use the same status/reasons as
+both store views. The result is **1 works / 50 partial / 54 broken / 11 N/A** (including main’s independent Deck Shelves improvement);
+the majority goal remains open.

+# Framey receipt guard, unworn Frame exercise (26 October 2026)
+
+The bounded `scripts/framey-vr-check.py --exercise` runner acquired `/tmp/frame-test.lock` with its own random owner before reading the real Frame. Its 05:26 UTC run used source commit `c2f94c242dac670e18259193311a7375f5a87942`. Preflight found SteamVR activity 3 (standby), proximity 6.25 and battery 99%. No wearer was confirmed.
+
+The temporary Frame Control dashboard overlay became visible to OpenVR. The stereo compositor image changed, and the `/dev/video99` mirror produced a frame. The sample settings panel displayed its stored off value, accepted a trusted synthetic OpenVR pointer event, saved on through the real Decky Python backend, read the setting from disk, and showed on after a fresh iframe reopen. The quick action read on. A native slider reached 50. Text entry used CDP after OpenVR focus. The runner exited 0 with `input.passed=true` and `compositorChanged=true`.
+
+The private capture files remain outside the repository at `/tmp/frame-pr301-unworn-vr-fixed/`. The before/after stereo SHA-256 values were `1683bf1dab70c1a0a1e8f313c8317dc04f992070b5b0de232de9008700130711` and `684a27eecf7bcbbc5308092ddbb1517c4596fb283e061e73dd6bb7f025954e8b`; the mirror frame SHA-256 was `5939149ea9c85fd2d86d3f8879c348f006c421a386bd66a93fe`. Room pixels are not committed.
+
+An earlier locked run at 05:24 UTC exposed a missing SHA-256 in the runner's temporary sample receipt: the new guard correctly asked to reopen the panel. Commit `c2f94c2` gives that sample a content digest; the second run passed. Both runs reported no cleanup errors, restored `power.pauseCompositorOnStandby=false` and `power.turnOffScreensTimeout=5`, removed their power recovery timers, and released only their own locks. Battery remained 99%.
+
+This is an **unworn sample-plugin result**. It does not prove wearer-visible pixels, physical controller input, native scrolling (the attempted scroll offset stayed 0), VR keyboard behavior, comfort, or any official Decky plugin's VR panel or backend. The hourly worn check remains enabled.

+# Running-game context and Discord Status, 2026-10-26
+
+Framey now projects running apps and the selected main app from Steam CEF into
+detached `SteamUIStore` / `DFL.Router` getters. It relays actual Steam lifetime
+callbacks while the panel is open. Public Steam CDN capsule URLs are projected
+for running apps; local artwork paths and URL query data never cross the bridge.
+The [machine-readable evidence](framey-running-context-2026-10-26.json) records
+the exact archives, fixtures, browser observations and cleanup results.
+
+| Plugin / scope | Result | Verification |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Discord Status 1.5.0 | **Broken → partial.** Disconnected panel renders; activity construction accepts the synthetic running game without the previous missing-store/artwork errors. | Exact unmodified official frontend in opaque Chromium iframe; backend/network denied. Actual official `is_connected` returns false in real Decky 3.3.0 ARM64, with no Discord IPC present. |
+| Pause Games | **Partial.** Running-list initialization reaches `pid_from_appid` for the synthetic game. | Local Chromium fixture; all backend calls, including settings writes and process actions, denied. |
+| Notebook | **Works for its previously verified default notebook scope.** Per-game context is now supplied, but real per-game selection remains unverified. | Synthetic game causes the official frontend to request `loadPage`; backend calls denied in this pass. Earlier default save/reopen ARM64 evidence remains separate. |
+| PlayTime | **Partial.** Running snapshots do not satisfy its private MobX observation. | Local Chromium explicitly logs that its running-app observer is unavailable. No automatic tracking claim. |
+| 14 other focused panels | Labels retained. Initialization alone does not establish backend functionality. | Exact frontends with synthetic nonempty running/library snapshots and backend/network denied; Game Sync still stops on the denied `get_config` read. |
+
+The bridge addresses a shared dependency detected in 34 official frontend
+bundles, including hardware-inapplicable plugins whose installation remains
+blocked. This is infrastructure coverage, not 34 working plugins. Catalog after
+this pass: **3 works / 49 partial / 53 broken / 11 N/A**.
+
+## Real Frame checks and cleanup
+
+Every device probe acquired the atomic `/tmp/frame-test.lock` and released only
+its matching owner. Read-only probes verified the actual RunningApps and
+MainRunningApp getter implementations, the lifetime API's object with an
+`unregister()` method, and a public `https://shared.steamstatic.com` capsule URL.
+
+A private removable user service ran the published Decky 3.3.0 ARM64 executable
+and the exact unmodified Discord Status 1.5.0 store archive. Production
+`framey_panel.call_method` returned false from `is_connected`. Production
+`poll_running` verified two empty running-list reads, an actual lifetime
+subscription and explicit close. The device had no running apps: **nonempty
+reads and launch/exit callbacks were not observed on hardware**. Decky startup
+reinjected its frontend/restarted Steam CEF. No plugin game, power, audio or process-control
+action was invoked, and no Discord connection/activity mutation was allowed.
+
+After close, CEF reported zero sessions and a null timer. The test service,
+unit and private base were removed. A fresh independently locked audit read
+`LoadState=not-found`, `ActiveState=inactive`, `MainPID=0`, absent paths and zero
+CEF sessions/timers. Battery stayed **99 → 99**; normal Decky stayed failed and
+the normal panel service stayed inactive. No headset wipe or system service
+installation was used.
+
+## Local verification and limits
+
+- Full current official store fetch: 116 IDs/versions/digests unchanged at
+  2026-10-26 05:18:22 UTC.
+- Fake Frame: 116 transport cases, 60 install/remove cycles and 56 expected
+  blockers; private Compose project and volumes removed. Plugin execution was
+  stubbed.
+- Full local Chromium sweep: 103 of 116 initializer-ready with explicitly
+  synthetic library/running data. No backend/network request was allowed.
+  The focused Discord Status observation lasted eight seconds and constructed
+  `Test Running Game` activity; the visible UI correctly remained disconnected.
+- Node contract tests cover actual-event queue projection, retry/deduplication,
+  bounds, expiry, unregister, reconnect, update-before-callback ordering,
+  invalid data, public-artwork filtering, stale sessions, overlapping reads,
+  failure clearing stale state and late replies after close. Nonempty app rows
+  and launch/exit notifications in these tests are explicit synthetic fixtures.
+
+The queue retains at most 64 real notifications per session; overflow can lose
+old callbacks. Polling runs about every two seconds with no overlap. At most four
+CEF sessions survive; unreachable cleanup expires after 15 seconds, checked
+every five seconds. The bridge does not implement private MobX internals,
+suspend/input events, game actions or closed-panel automation.
+
+Discord shortcut detection, real IPC connection/activity, local custom artwork,
+actual running-game transitions, worn VR and physical controller/keyboard use
+remain unverified. None of the new fixture checks promotes a plugin to works.
+
+After #301 merged, running polls and both close paths adopted its pinned SHA-256
+receipt guard. Local Python/Node tests verify the parent carries that receipt,
+missing/stale receipts are rejected before CEF after plugin replacement, and a
+reopened panel can poll and close with the new receipt. Rejected stale closes
+retain the tested finite-lease cleanup. This authorization-only follow-up did
+not repeat the device checks above; their recorded hardware scope is unchanged.
+
+## Post-merge unworn panel exercise
+
+On merged main `daee952873255b86018cce1d2a4d3bd070ec4341`,
+`scripts/framey-vr-check.py --exercise --output /tmp/framey-post304-exercise`
+acquired its own `/tmp/frame-test.lock` before any headset read. At 05:54 UTC,
+preflight found SteamVR activity 3 (standby), proximity 6.25 and battery 99%.
+The temporary sample panel passed the real Decky setting save and fresh-iframe
+reopen, a trusted synthetic OpenVR pointer, quick action, slider value 50 and
+CDP text entry after OpenVR focus. Stereo compositor SHA-256 changed from
+`50fcab1ee25e6d9398106cc0c24ec6616e07bcf4573b52be1774c715b756060b`
+to `98241806fb1f775e7f4c5ef0b0564bfd3c552ee896ff225b4d0cb5b7b53f70d1`;
+the `/dev/video99` mirror capture hash was
+`c284c05f86b60362168c1d1f58fe775974b70ac54bbfd57834802b892eb4509e`.
+The command exited 0 with `passed=true`. The original power values (`false` and
+`5.000000`) were read back, battery remained 99%, the recovery timer was removed,
+cleanup errors were empty and the run released only its own lock. The private
+full report is `/tmp/framey-post304-exercise/result.json` on the test host.
+
+This exercise covered the sample panel path after the running-context merge. It
+did not observe a nonempty running-game list, a game lifetime callback, Discord
+activity, a worn display or physical controller input. Synthetic native scroll
+again did not move (`scrollTop=0`, no wheel event).

+# Executable script entrypoints: Junk-Store
+
+Junk-Store 1.1.13 (official ID 84) moves **broken → partial**. The exact unmodified
+BSD-3-Clause archive is pinned in the [redacted results](framey-script-entrypoints-2026-10-26.json).
+No ARM64 rebuild or upstream plugin source patch was needed.
+
+Python ZIP extraction drops execute permissions. This archive also publishes its
+shebang scripts as 0644, relying on upstream Decky's recursive permission setup.
+Framey's user service disables that setup. Direct script calls therefore fail.
+The installer now adds **owner execute only** to shebang scripts or ZIP-declared
+executables. It does not restore archive privilege/write bits, grant group/other
+execute, or change unmarked data permissions. Archive validation and installation
+blocks remain in place. Existing installations need update/reinstall for repair.
+
+The upstream comparison is Decky 3.3.0's
+[permission setup](https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader/blob/v3.3.0/backend/decky_loader/browser.py)
+and [Linux implementation](https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader/blob/v3.3.0/backend/decky_loader/localplatform/localplatformlinux.py).
+Static inspection found 28 accepted official archives with shebang or declared
+executable members. This is shared installer coverage, not 28 functional claims.
+
+## Before and after in an isolated real backend
+
+Both runs used the exact official plugin and published Decky 3.3.0 amd64, with no
+network/devices/capabilities, a read-only root and private temporary home/tmp.
+The only difference was the production installer before/after this change.
+
+| Check | Before | After |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `scripts/get-json.py` | 0644 | 0744 |
+| `execute_action(init, init)` | inner `Type:Error`, empty output / JSON parse error | `Type:Success`, `Initialized` |
+| `execute_action(init, InitActions)` | inner `Type:Error` | `Type:ActionSet`, `MainMenu`, four actions |
+
+The legacy wrapper reports `success:true` even for the failing inner error.
+Startup log text alone is also insufficient: the baseline emits initialized/started
+messages despite those errors. Both private containers were removed.
+
+## Real ARM64 Frame and local Chromium
+
+Under the shared headset lock, the patched production installer installed the
+official archive into a private, bounded, removable Decky 3.3.0 ARM64 user service
+on Frame OS 0.5.6. The service was not enabled. Legendary was absent before and
+after; no dependency installer, login, download, launch or websocket command ran.
+
+The production receipt-bound bridge called the actual backend through live Steam
+CEF. Static action sets, main-menu content and the Epic action set returned real
+results. `get_websocket_port` returned 8765. Explicit `init/init` success was tested
+in the isolated amd64 backend; it was not explicitly invoked in the final Frame run.
+
+Local Chromium ran the actual Framey host and official frontend in an opaque
+iframe, relaying only allowed static calls to that ARM64 backend. Main menu,
+Games → static Epic tab, Back and fresh close/reopen passed. Steam library reads
+used the production receipt-bound bridge; only counts were retained. Outer
+status/install responses were fixtures, and the deployed headset HTTP endpoint
+was not tested.
+
+The About route still crashes on missing `local_per_client_data.installed` in
+the detached app overview. Epic game-list and RSS calls were deliberately denied;
+their loading/error views do not demonstrate backend failure. Dependency
+installation, login, game operations, RSS, Steam shortcut mutation and worn VR
+remain unverified. This supports **partial**, not works.
+
+Three temporary attempts were cleaned, including an initial Steam reinjection
+readiness failure and a test-relay omission of the library endpoint. A fresh
+shared-lock audit found all three services inactive/unloaded (PID 0), with their
+private bases, unit files and archives absent. Normal managed Decky/panel services
+stayed inactive; final battery was 99 → 100 while charging. No power-setting action
+ran. The audit lock was released, and local relays/browser tabs were closed.
+
+## Verification
+
+- Python suite: 1,628 tests, 16 skipped, no failures; store suite: 19 passed.
+- Site suite: 18 passed. Two new regression tests failed before the fix.

+# Unworn Framey scroll transport probe, 26 October 2026
+
+The previous `scripts/framey-vr-check.py --exercise` runs reported `scrollY=0` before and after one injected smooth-scroll event. That was inconclusive because the repository sample may fit inside the iframe. This probe changed only the **test script**: it created a temporary 160-pixel-high scroll region with 716 pixels of content, moved the native OpenVR pointer over it, and measured its own `scrollTop` and captured wheel events. No production Framey panel code changed.
+
+Two local diagnostic versions ran on the real Frame from base main `784118b` after PR #292. The final version in this PR tried OpenVR `VREvent_ScrollSmooth` (309) and `VREvent_ScrollDiscrete` (305), using Valve's documented `VREvent_Scroll_t` ABI. The overlay listing showed the temporary Frame Control dashboard visible with `+smoothscroll`; a trusted native pointer move reached the iframe. Neither scroll event reached Chromium's capture listener and the region stayed at `scrollTop=0`. This establishes only that `IVROverlayView_003.PostOverlayEvent` did not deliver these synthetic scroll events in this run. A physical controller may follow a different path.
+
+| Check | First probe | Final probe |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Unique shared lock and standby gate | Acquired; activity 3, battery 99% | Acquired; activity 3, battery 100% |
+| Scroll region | 160 px viewport, 716 px content | 160 px viewport, 716 px content |
+| Native pointer | Moved over region | Trusted pointer move reached iframe |
+| Injected scroll | Smooth 309 | Smooth 309, then discrete 305 |
+| Wheel events / offset | 0 / 0 → 0 | 0 / 0 → 0 |
+| Other sample checks | Passed | Passed |
+| Cleanup | Power restored to `false/5`, recovery timer removed, owned lock released; battery 99% | Same cleanup; battery 99% |
+
+Both runs captured changed stereo compositor frames and a `/dev/video99` mirror frame, saved only in private folders `/tmp/framey-native-scroll-probe/` and `/tmp/framey-native-scroll-events/`. No room pixels are committed. The final run's `result.json` reported `passed=true`, `cleanupErrors=[]`, `powerRecoveryRemoved=true` and `lockReleased=true`. Here `passed` covers the sample setting, quick action, slider, text and cleanup checks; **native scroll did not pass**. The final immediate SteamVR activity was 0 after the temporary wake; original power settings were restored and read back. No person wore the headset, and physical controller scrolling, rays, haptics, keyboard, optical readability and comfort remain unverified. The hourly worn-check schedule remains enabled.
+
+## Post-#294 exact-main sample check
+
+After PR #294 merged, the **unmodified** `scripts/framey-vr-check.py --exercise` from exact main `c38e7e8da459e44a9a717d15e6a07ab8a8e8ef8d` exited 0 on the real Frame. Locked preflight found activity 3 standby, proximity 6.3125 and battery 99%. The sample saved `{"enabled": true}` through trusted synthetic OpenVR input and the live Decky backend, read the file independently, then reopened a fresh iframe with the value retained. Quick action, slider value 50 and text entry completed; compositor frames changed and the mirror capture returned a frame. The old scroll diagnostic still reported no offset movement.
+
+The run removed its temporary services and recovery timer, restored/read back power `false/5`, reported no cleanup errors, and released only its owned lock. Its immediate activity was 0 after the temporary wake. Private captures/result are under `/tmp/framey-post294/` outside Git. This was one setting activation, so it does not prove the new rapid-double-input guard on physical controllers. No person wore the headset.

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

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

+# Volume Boost sink controls on the ARM64 Frame
+
+Volume Boost 0.0.7 (official store ID 58) now qualifies as **works for sink
+controls**. The exact official, unmodified Python backend ran in Decky 3.3.0
+ARM64 on Frame OS 0.5.6. Local Chromium rendered its official frontend through
+Framey's existing legacy bridge. Actual control changes reached the Frame's
+default speaker sink, including above-100% gain, with independent Pulse
+readbacks. The sink stayed muted; no audible-output or worn-VR claim is made.
+
+[Digest-pinned observations and cleanup](framey-volume-boost-arm64-2026-10-26.json)
+record both runs. This supersedes the Volume Boost read-only limitation in the
+[previous ARM64 audio check](framey-audio-arm64-2026-10-26.md). No plugin patch,
+native rebuild or new compatibility shim was necessary. Volume Boost's backend
+uses Python and the Frame's existing ARM64 `pactl`; its hard-coded UID 1000
+matches the actual Frame user.
+
+| Local Chromium action | Actual ARM64 result, independently read back |
+| --- | --- |
+| Linked numeric input 125% | Native Pulse channel values 81920 / 81920; plugin reads 125 / 125 |
+| Linked slider click, then ArrowDown | 75% then 74%; native values 49152 / 49152 then 48496 / 48496 |
+| Unlink, set left to 33% | Native values 21626 / 0; plugin reads 33 / 0 |
+| Set right to 67% | Native values 0 / 43909; plugin reads 0 / 67 |
+| Re-link | Official frontend issues a right-only 33% write; native values 0 / 21626 |
+| Close and reopen | New document/session, ready; backend reads and displayed linked value return to the restored 0%; no mount write |
+| Repeat linked numeric 150% with inherited service locale | Native values 98304 / 98304; plugin reads 150 / 150; reopen again reads restored zero |
+
+The test restores the original sink state after **each** write. Therefore the
+separate-channel checks intentionally begin from 0% / 0%, rather than from the
+previous UI value. A right-only re-link request is the published plugin's
+behavior. These checks verify channel selection and preservation of the other
+channel; they do not claim a continuous unmuted listening session. Pulse's
+integer conversion truncates fractional native values; the evidence retains
+those integers rather than replacing them with rounded percentages.
+
+## Runtime and transport
+
+Each run separately acquired the atomic `/tmp/frame-test.lock`; neither stole
+an existing lock. A unique private Decky user service used its own plugin,
+settings and runtime directories, was never enabled, and had an eight-minute
+runtime limit. The upstream ARM64 loader matched GitHub's published SHA-256
+and ELF machine 183. The plugin ZIP matched the official digest.
+
+The local relay served actual `ui/headset.html`, vendored React and
+`framey-host.js`, with exact official frontend bytes in an opaque
+`allow-scripts` iframe. Outer status/install/check responses were fixtures.
+Plugin calls used production `framey_panel.call_method`, including the current
+store receipt, SSH through lxso2, live Steam CEF and `DeckyBackend.call` into the
+actual plugin subprocess. Only the temporary install paths were redirected.
+This does not verify the deployed headset HTTP endpoint or a VR compositor.
+
+The first private service explicitly used `LC_ALL=C`. The second inherited the
+user-service locale without a `LANG` or `LC_ALL` override, matching the
+production service configuration, and repeated actual reads, a 150% write and
+reopen. Zero alone was not accepted as success: upstream returns zero on
+command failure. Every write returned true, both backend channel reads agreed,
+and independent native Pulse readbacks confirmed nonzero changes.
+
+## Bounded muted writes and restoration
+
+The default sink was already muted at native channel values 0 / 0. Before each
+plugin write, a private device-side helper captured the exact sink identity,
+channel values and mute state; persisted recovery state; and started a bounded
+60-second systemd watchdog. It then required a successful mute readback before
+allowing the plugin call. The relay allowed only `get_volume_state` and
+`set_volume_state`, known channels and values from 0 through 150.
+
+After the call, independent `pactl --format=json list sinks` and both plugin
+reads checked the result. In `finally`, the helper restored exact native
+channel values while muted, checked them, restored the original mute state,
+and verified the entire snapshot before removing recovery state and stopping
+its watchdog. No default route, playback, existing stream or power setting was
+changed. Automatic watchdog expiry was armed but not deliberately exercised;
+explicit restoration passed after all seven writes.
+
+Both private Decky services/bases were removed and their locks released.
+Fresh-lock cleanup audits found their Decky and guard units unloaded/inactive
+with PID 0, paths absent, and the exact original sink/mute restored. Battery
+stayed 100 → 100; normal managed Decky and headset-panel services stayed
+inactive. Decky startup reinjects its frontend and can restart Steam CEF.
+
+## Catalog and verification limits
+
+The canonical store catalog and generated table report **4 works / 48 partial /
+53 broken / 11 N/A**. A fresh full official-store fetch at 06:10:58 UTC found
+all 116 IDs, versions and digests unchanged. Historical fake-Frame checks cover
+this exact archive's install/receipt/removal with backend execution stubbed;
+that test was not repeated or relabelled as real-backend evidence.
+
+Audible gain, sound quality, physical speaker output, Bluetooth sinks,
+headset-controller input and worn VR remain unverified. The store row includes
+these limits. This change records new real-backend evidence and updates its
+compatibility classification; it changes no shipped audio implementation.
+
+The full server suite completed 1,626 tests with no failures (16 skips); all
+18 site tests passed. Generated-document consistency and `git diff --check`
+also passed. No implementation change followed those tests.

+`ssh lxso2 'ssh frame …'` route from lxso1. No person wore the headset.
+Frame OS **0.5.6**, build **20261022.6153909**, ARM64, SteamVR **2.18.2**,
+Decky **3.3.0**. The run began at **23:27:34 UTC**; the Frame's own clock/logs
+use UTC+11 and therefore show 26 October.

+SteamVR listings, power settings, input observations, and private image hashes.
+The checked app code includes the sample settings-path and iframe-reopen fixes
+and main through `d77e2bd`. This is source-bundle testing, not a newly published
+release/AppImage test. The sample has a random test name and store-shaped local
+receipt; it is not presented as an official catalogue listing.
+
+| Check | Observed | Scope |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Overlay registration and visibility | `IVROverlay_027.IsOverlayVisible=true` | Actual Frame Control gamescope overlay, not a browser fixture |
+| Transform | type **5**, DashboardTab; absolute getter returns **18**, WrongTransformType | Dashboard owns placement; no transform/dock setters used |
+| Texture queries | main size 0×0; image read **24**, InvalidTexture | Direct texture refresh not established; compositor capture used instead |
+| Stereo compositor | Before/after SHA-256 differ; final image visibly contains Framey tabs, quick action and saved result | Actual `IVRScreenshots_001` production screenshot path |
+| OBS mirror | Current run's random name and “Saved setting is on” appear after draining 60 frames | `/dev/video99` pixels; OBS app itself was not launched in this task |
+| OpenVR click | Move/down/up reaches intended control; iframe pointer event is trusted | `IVROverlayView_003.PostOverlayEvent`, no DOM `.click()` |
+| Live setting | off → on; real backend file `{"enabled":true}`; fresh iframe reads on | Actual Framey HTTP → Steam CEF → Decky websocket → Python backend; no stubs |
+| Tabs/quick action | Settings/Panel clicked; “Saved setting is on” returned | Actual shipped host controls and sample action |
+| Slider | 10 → **50** | Native OpenVR click on actual DFL slider, diagnostic UI-only value |
+| Text | **framey-ci** | OpenVR pointer focus, then CDP `Input.insertText`; not SteamVR keyboard proof |
+| Smooth scroll attempt | `scrollBefore=0`, `scrollAfter=0` | No scrolling established by this attempt; do not count it as a pass |
+| Battery | **99% → 99%** | Probed only under the owned lock |
+| Power restoration | original pause **false**, timeout **5.000000**, exact values read back | Temporary values false/120; no idle-suspend timer or proximity changes |
+| Cleanup | `cleanupErrors=[]`, `powerRecoveryRemoved=true`, `lockReleased=true` | Temporary managed services, sample/settings/profile, timer and restore script removed |
+
+`IsDashboardVisible` and `IsActiveDashboardOverlay` are false while the panel is
+visible in these captures: this is an existing placed/docked panel. They cannot
+be used alone as a Framey visibility verdict. Activity changes from standby 3
+to active 0 without wearing the headset, so activity alone is not worn proof.
+Native OpenVR events also produce trusted pointers, so `event.isTrusted` alone
+is not physical-controller proof. The worn script now requires explicit
+`--worn-confirmed` and reports trusted pointer input with that narrower name.

+replaced by solid black. No UI content was synthesized. [Image provenance](images.json)
+contains source hashes, mask polygons, crops and published hashes. Raw images

+
+## Bugs found and fixed
+
+1. The author sample used `decky.decky_SETTINGS_DIR`, absent from real Decky
+   3.3.0. The actual iframe displayed its backend `AttributeError`. Decky's
+   [pinned module](https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader/blob/v3.3.0/backend/decky_loader/plugin/imports/decky.py)
+   exports `DECKY_PLUGIN_SETTINGS_DIR`. The sample, docs and Python test fixture
+   now use that name. The old fixture invented the same wrong attribute and
+   masked the failure. The live fixed backend save/reopen is in `result.json`.
+2. Reopening the same plugin changed only `#session`, so Chromium retained the
+   old document/host/cache session. It could retain an error and eventually
+   show a false “No compatible panel loaded” message. A fresh query parameter
+   forces a new document while keeping the fragment session. The cache
+   regression now checks document URLs, rather than manually assuming a new
+   iframe. The real reopen with the saved setting passed.
+
+## Methods tried and limits
+
+Read-only `vrcmd` stats/overlay listings, the shipped OpenVR ABI, compositor
+logs and actual CEF/Chromium targets were inspected first. A simple
+`--handlewakeup` initially produced the Frame Control status panel in a stereo
+screenshot. The full test uses a bounded screen timeout so it stays active.
+Decky's service startup reloads Steam's web helper. During exploratory service
+recreation, SteamVR logged `UpdateInputFocus: Failed to give focus to panel`
+and returned a hidden, zero-sized main overlay despite a successful focus
+request. Retagging only the test browser's `STEAM_GAME` property recovered it;
+no Steam, SteamVR, gamescope or headset restart was needed. The final run did
+not need this recovery. The runner records it when used.
+
+The first mirror image was demonstrably stale: it contained a previous test's
+random plugin name while the contemporaneous stereo image contained the current
+one. Reading 60 frames before selecting the mirror image fixed that observation;
+the final two published images contain the same current run name.
+
+The diagnostic itself initially failed its cleanup check because an idle
+systemd watchdog service was already unloaded. It restored power and removed
+the test services, retained the lock, then the exact owned remainder was cleaned
+up. Cleanup now checks `LoadState` and tolerates an already-unloaded transient
+unit. Subsequent full runs, including the committed run here, exited 0 with no
+cleanup errors. A four-minute power-recovery timer was created and cancelled;
+forced host death or network loss was not fault injected.
+
+A null driver or virtual tracked controller was not needed for pointer delivery
+and was not installed. No root/system files, tracking/proximity configuration,
+Steam global binaries, or spatial transforms were edited. PR #113 was untouched.
+This check does not establish every official plugin, sustained frame rate,
+backend persistence across Steam/Decky reboot, physical controller tracking or
+haptics, a functioning virtual keyboard, native scrolling, comfort or legibility
+through the optics. Follow the [three-minute worn checklist](../../framey-vr-check.md#three-minute-worn-checklist).
+
+## Local checks
+
+- Full Python suite after integrating current main and worn-confirmation gate:
+  **1,595 tests, 16 skipped, OK**. The final added scroll/mirror helpers also
+  passed the **24 focused Framey tests** and the real-device run above.
+- App and website test commands passed under **Node 24.22.1**, matching CI's
+  Node major. System Node 22 cancelled unrelated Meta sign-in timer tests;
+  those files were not changed. Node 24 was used for final app verification.
+- `git diff --check` and Python compilation passed. Hosted CI status belongs to
+  the PR; local checks do not substitute for its macOS/Windows/ARM64 jobs.
+
+A separate [locked cleanup audit](cleanup-verification.json) confirms both test
+services inactive, no panel bundle or Decky binary, no test plugins/profiles or
+remaining timers, power restored to false/5, battery 99→99, and its own lock
+released. It also removed the stale DevTools discovery file created during the
+earlier exploratory use of the original browser profile.
