+# PC in the headset
+
+Windows and Linux hosts use **Tools → PC in the headset**. The host shares a
+window or screen, and the existing Frame viewer makes it a SteamVR panel.
+Move it with the dashboard's Float in World, Move and Size controls.
+
+**Inferred / not yet verified on a desktop host:** the Windows and Linux
+capture and input paths below. This work was developed on a Mac with no
+Windows or Linux desktop VM. A native build or test-pattern test in CI does
+not establish that desktop capture, a permission dialog, hardware encoding
+or laser input works. Keep this feature in the draft/testing stage until
+those paths have been tried on real hosts.
+
+## Own implementation, platform APIs and bundled libraries
+
+Frame Control owns the host agent, input routing, authentication, streaming
+protocol, panel launcher and adaptation. It does not launch or require
+Sunshine, OBS or another desktop-streaming app. GStreamer and its codec
+plugins are ordinary libraries bundled with the Windows and Linux app;
+users do not install a GStreamer application. The shared library build keeps
+license texts and package provenance alongside the libraries. Linux also
+bundles the PipeWire client’s dynamically loaded SPA/protocol modules and a
+private client configuration; it does not change the desktop’s configuration.
+
+First-party alternatives considered (**documented**): Valve Remote Play
+streams a game/desktop, rather than providing this per-window panel protocol;
+Windows Remote Desktop opens a remote session; Linux's desktop portal is the
+consent mechanism for sharing the current desktop. The chosen paths are:
+
+| Host | Capture | Encoding | Input |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Windows | Windows.Graphics.Capture, through `d3d11screencapturesrc capture-api=wgc`; HWND or HMONITOR | Hardware Media Foundation (`mfh264enc`), low latency, no B-frames | `SendInput`, with source bounds and per-monitor DPI awareness |
+| Linux | RemoteDesktop + ScreenCast portal, then the returned PipeWire fd/node | VA-API (`vah264enc`) where registered; x264 otherwise | RemoteDesktop portal notifications, using only granted pointer/keyboard devices |
+
+API choices are **documented**, not device verification:
+[Windows capture](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/audio-video-camera/screen-capture),
+[GStreamer WGC](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/d3d11/d3d11screencapturesrc.html),
+[Media Foundation encoder](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/mediafoundation/mfh264enc.html),
+[ScreenCast portal](https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/doc-org.freedesktop.portal.ScreenCast.html),
+[RemoteDesktop portal](https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-portal/docs/doc-org.freedesktop.portal.RemoteDesktop.html).
+
+Windows needs a WGC-capable Windows 10/11 desktop and an available hardware
+Media Foundation H.264 encoder. Elevated windows and the secure desktop
+cannot be driven by an ordinary Frame Control process. If Windows refuses
+to focus a selected window, input is refused rather than sent to the app
+covering it; bring the selected window forward, then Stop and Show again. Minimized/closed
+windows may stop producing frames. Protected content is not supported.
+
+On Linux, press **Choose a window or screen…** and approve the desktop's
+sharing dialog. Choose another source to add another panel. Stop releases
+that source's portal session; sharing it again asks for consent again.
+A desktop must implement both ScreenCast and RemoteDesktop for this path;
+a ScreenCast-only compositor cannot provide laser input through this API.
+Cancelling or denying a dialog is reported on the card. No portal permission
+is bypassed, and Frame Control does not open `/dev/uinput` or the unrestricted
+PipeWire daemon on the host.
+
+The host's own keyboard still works. Input from the viewer uses normalized
+picture coordinates, maps through the selected source's bounds, and releases
+held buttons/keys on blur, disconnect and Stop. Linux requires the pointer
+and keyboard grants. **Untested:** desktop-specific consent, mixed-DPI
+Windows input alignment, multi-monitor layouts, hardware encoder behavior,
+window resize/minimize, and non-US keyboard layouts.
+
+## Shared pieces
+
+- `ui/frame_macview.py` owns the SSH tunnel, reconnect supervision, quality
+  presets and panel launch for all hosts. `ui/frame_pcview.py` selects the PC
+  helper; `/api/macview` remains the compatible endpoint.
+- `ui/mac-view.html` is the one viewer. The 17-byte big-endian frame header,
+  Annex-B H.264/JPEG payloads, `hello`/`ack` reconnect handshake, clock sync,
+  `rx`/`fd` timing reports and input messages are unchanged.
+- `desktop/controller.c` is the rate controller shared by the Mac Swift
+  binding and the PC Python binding. Capture is gated **before** encoding;
+  encoded reference frames are never discarded. A bounded raw-frame queue
+  keeps the newest picture, including the last update of an idle window,
+  until the gate opens. A native one-frame-source test covers that case.
+  It keeps the Mac's bitrate demand protection and tier hysteresis.
+- PC records use the existing `Stats.swift` JSON schema, with bounded
+  4096-frame/512-input storage in `ui/frame_stream_stats.py`. The benchmark's
+  analysis, targets and network shaping are shared, not reimplemented.
+  Capture timestamps describe the native pipeline's source time; they do
+  not prove the time at which the host compositor displayed the pixels.
+- Mac virtual-display separation remains Mac-only. Windows WGC and the
+  Linux portal share the selected window directly.
+
+PC capture follows the shared frame-rate and resolution tiers. x264 updates
+bitrate while running. Hardware encoders are drained and reopened when the
+budget changes materially, at most once a second, because their live property
+support varies. Reopening starts a new keyframe and retains the consented
+portal session. **Untested:** hardware reconfiguration latency and whether a
+particular desktop permits reconnecting its PipeWire stream this way.
+
+## Build and measure
+
+Packaged Windows/Linux builds include `desktop/bundle/pc-host` and its shared
+libraries. Source checkouts build them with `python3 desktop/build.py` after
+installing GStreamer development packages (see the `PC host libraries` CI
+workflow). The feature reports a missing bundle; it does not download or
+install a streaming app on first use.
+
+The existing benchmark now accepts a PC host:
+
+```sh
+python3 scripts/macview-bench.py run --pc --scenario test --label pc-test
+# Linux: select a real source in the desktop's sharing dialog
+python3 scripts/macview-bench.py run --pc --scenario capture --source choose --label linux-window
+# Windows: use the HWND/monitor source ID shown by the host's /windows or /displays
+python3 scripts/macview-bench.py run --pc --scenario capture --source window:12345 --label windows-window
+```
+
+The synthetic PC pattern uses bundled x264 so headless CI can verify the
+wire protocol without claiming that a GPU was exercised. The `capture`
+scenario measures the selected real source without injecting input or
+assuming that it animates at 60 fps. Mac-only Chrome/virtual-display typing
+and scrolling automation is not run on PC hosts. Results retain the same
+latency stages and record `host_platform`, `pc_host` and `source`. CPU sampling
+on PC hosts is explicitly unavailable. `--net` and `--delay` still use the
+same bounded shaping relay, without administrator privileges.
+
+## Evidence
+
+- **Verified, Mac, 2026-09-28:** the final full unit/integration suite ran
+  183 tests successfully, including the real Mac helper's H.264, ticket, timing
+  and input-echo tests. The native PC test class was skipped locally because
+  its libraries were absent; the PC adapter and shared-controller tests passed.
+- **Verified, real Frame, 2026-09-28, BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901:** the base
+  helper's synthetic source created panel `valve.steam.desktopgame.2001639889`,
+  and the shared Chromium viewer decoded H.264. It recorded 286 frames over
+  the short probe, with a two-second summary of 19.5 fps shown and total
+  latency p50/p95 83/156.5 ms. This establishes the existing viewer/transport
+  route, not Windows/Linux capture, input or a latency target. The probe's
+  helper, tunnel and viewer were stopped afterward.
+- **Verified in CI:** native library builds and real x264 protocol tests passed
+  on Windows, Ubuntu x64 and Ubuntu ARM64 in
+  [run 36422214445](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/actions/runs/36422214445).
+  All four installer builds passed in
+  [run 36422214425](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/actions/runs/36422214425).
+  These are build/synthetic tests, not desktop-host verification. No VM was used.
+- **Verified, real Frame, same build/date:** the ARM64 PC agent and its
+  bundled libraries ran from a temporary user directory, using x264's moving
+  test pattern. Traffic travelled Frame → Mac SSH relay → Frame viewer.
+  The shared bench recorded 351 drawn frames, content p50/p95 15.1/80.3 ms,
+  and 34.8 fps. The frame-rate and late-frame targets failed. This checks the
+  new agent and real viewer together; it is not a representative PC link.
+  The helper exited 0, its viewer/tunnels stopped, and its directory was removed.
+  [Raw benchmark result](../bench/results/2026-09-28-c5fc552-dirty-pc-agent-frame-arm64-hairpin.json).
+  This first probe's input echo measured message receipt to the next capture,
+  not a visible pattern response; later builds make test clicks change its color.
+- **Verified, Mac:** all 600 states in a 60-second congestion/recovery trace
+  matched the original Swift controller. `tests/test_pc_controller.py` retains
+  the original trace digest as a regression check.
+- **Verified, real Frame, agent at `cd20243`:** the repeated synthetic
+  probe drew 400 frames at 39.3 fps, content p50/p95 15.1/28.6 ms, and synthetic
+  input-to-drawn p50 76.6 ms. Test clicks now change the pattern color before
+  injection is timestamped. The frame-rate/late-frame targets still failed;
+  this remains a Frame-hosted x264 test through a Mac relay, not a desktop or
+  physical-laser measurement. Helper exit 0 and cleanup succeeded.
+  [Latest device probe result](../bench/results/2026-09-28-cd20243-pc-agent-frame-arm64-final.json).
+- **Untested:** real Windows WGC → Media Foundation → Frame; real Linux
+  portal → PipeWire → VA-API/x264 → Frame; physical laser input on either.
+  No benchmark numbers for those desktop paths are claimed.
+
+## Independent review availability
+
+A direct read-only review was attempted with
+`devin -p --model swe-2-max --permission-mode auto --prompt-file …`. The first
+attempt exited 0 after rejecting a tool that needed interactive permission;
+it did not inspect the diff. A full inline-diff attempt returned no output
+for 15 minutes and was terminated (shell exit 143). A smaller inline native
+code review returned no output within 300 seconds (process exit -15).
+SWE-2 Max was requested; no completed review or findings were received, so
+independent review is **unverified**, not a passed check. The PR remains draft.
+
+## Device follow-up, 2026-09-29
+
+**Verified, read-only, SteamOS BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901:** the Frame was
+reachable, charging (44% initially, 63% at the end), and SteamVR reported
+activity level 3 (standby). No Plasma desktop was running. Introspection of
+the active `org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop` service exposed ScreenCast with
+source types 3, but no RemoteDesktop interface. **Inferred:** this gamescope
+session cannot provide this feature's required consented input path; a
+ScreenCast-only session is insufficient.
+
+**Blocked, not a device execution result:** the shared `/tmp/frame-test.lock`
+was held by another thread. Ten lock-acquisition attempts over five minutes
+all failed, after earlier preparation-time attempts also found it occupied.
+The current `a992f6d` ARM64 CI bundle was downloaded to the Mac, but nothing
+was installed, launched or stopped on the Frame. No new screenshots or
+current-revision device timings were obtained. The lock was not removed and
+no global settings were changed. The earlier synthetic results above remain
+valid only for their named revisions; standby visibility, physical laser
+input and worn-headset performance remain unverified.
+
+**Verified, Mac:** a fresh full suite ran 309 tests successfully, with one
+native-PC class skipped. Current-revision CI passed
+[native hosts](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/actions/runs/36504546909),

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