+  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).

   incomplete inventories stay unknown. A Forget button clears the comparison.

+# 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.

 # 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.
-No individual Decky plugin has been tested on the headset.
+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.
+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).

+# 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.

+  36 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.

+# 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.

+# 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 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.

+# Framey unattended VR evidence, 25 October 2026 UTC
+
+The committed runner exited **0** on the real Frame, using the existing
+`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.
+
+```sh
+python3 scripts/framey-vr-check.py --via lxso2 --exercise --output /tmp/framey-vr-verified
+```
+
+[Full machine result](result.json) records source commit
+`cb9ad1b6cb7302008783d5f7fe42fa77a4dd43af`, bundle digest, before/after
+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.
+
+![Actual compositor panel, room masked](stereo-left-panel-redacted.png)
+
+![Actual mirror panel, room masked](mirror-panel-redacted.png)
+
+These are inset panel crops from the raw captures, with all other pixels
+replaced by solid black. No UI content was synthesized. [Image provenance](images.json)
+contains source hashes, mask polygons, crops and published hashes. Raw images
+remain private under `/tmp/framey-vr-verified` on lxso1. They are not committed.
+
+## 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.

+# Physical Mac desktop check, 26 October 2026
+
+Host: **MacBook Air (MacBookAir9,1), Intel Core i3 1.1 GHz, macOS 15.7.7
+(24G720), x86_64**. This is physical hardware. The console is an unattended
+server with display/automation restrictions. No Apple Silicon runtime result
+is inferred from this test.
+
+## Released installers: verified, installed, cannot run on Intel
+
+GitHub's latest release was v0.4.35 at the start; v0.4.36 became latest during
+the check. Each DMG and its SHA256SUMS were downloaded from that exact release
+with `gh release download`. Both passed `shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS
+--ignore-missing` (only the downloaded asset was checked):
+
+| Release | Asset | SHA-256 |
+|---|---|---|
+| v0.4.35 | Frame-Control-mac-arm64.dmg | `eda670748679ca02fcf242870cd53954b22cf8b93af47a193c9903bd08a8334f` |
+| v0.4.36 | Frame-Control-mac-arm64.dmg | `4d13068f0cfd3616823d63c82333afa7e368c1d57d375e9564f5f7ed4f0ebbd7` |
+
+Each read-only DMG was mounted with `hdiutil attach -readonly -nobrowse`.
+There was no existing `/Applications/Frame Control.app`; the app was copied
+there with `ditto`, the command-line equivalent of the DMG's drag to
+Applications. `open "/Applications/Frame Control.app"` returned exactly:
+
+> The application cannot be opened because it has an incorrect executable format.
+
+`file` identified the executable as `Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64`.
+`codesign -dv` identified an ad hoc signature with no TeamIdentifier. The
+v0.4.35 `spctl -a -vv` assessment returned `rejected`. The v0.4.36 assessment
+stalled and is not counted as a completed assessment.
+
+**No Gatekeeper warning dialog was observed.** LaunchServices rejected the
+architecture first. The CLI download had no `com.apple.quarantine` attribute,
+so this was not a browser-quarantine test. Neither right-click Open, Open
+Anyway nor removing quarantine was tested. On this Intel Mac there is no
+honest opening workaround for either released ARM64 app. Rosetta does not
+run ARM64 apps on Intel. The README now separates that fact from Apple's
+recommended Open Anyway flow for compatible Macs and labels the latter
+unverified here. No global Gatekeeper setting was changed.
+
+## Separate Intel candidate: partial native runtime pass
+
+[PR #262](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/262), commit `6ea9eb2`,
+adds native x64 DMG/ZIP builds, pinned x64 Python, an x86_64 Swift helper, and
+CI architecture checks. Swift 6.2.4 rejected an ambiguous
+`Data.withUnsafeMutableBytes` overload in the helper; an explicit
+`UnsafeMutableRawBufferPointer` annotation compiled successfully on this Air.
+
+`npm run dist:mac:x64` completed locally, producing an ad hoc signed app,
+ZIP and DMG. The unpacked candidate was copied to
+`/Applications/Frame Control Intel Test.app` and launched with telemetry off,
+a task-local server data directory and a temporary loopback debug port.
+This is **not** the published v0.4.36 binary.
+
+The first launch stalled for several minutes before app code ran. A process
+sample showed only `_dyld_start`, a 12 KiB footprint and no loaded image
+list, while `syspolicyd` used about 89% CPU. It later proceeded without any
+system-service restart; the app window and server loaded. The initial stall
+is a host observation, not proof of a Frame Control bug. Restarting that
+security daemon was rejected by automatic approval review, and was not done.
+
+| Check | Observed result and limit |
+|---|---|
+| Native window and IPC bridge | The Electron renderer displayed Apps and the offline identity warning; `window.frameApp` was present. Native renderer inspected through its temporary loopback CDP port; this does not prove every macOS permission dialog or physical click |
+| Settings | Native preference read returned `{}`. Writing `mvSeparate="0"` read back correctly. The original preference file was restored byte-for-byte (or removed when originally absent) in a finally block. Persistence across an app restart is not claimed |
+| Open at Login | Source is opt-in and focused login-item tests passed. Native menu read via System Events timed out; an OS login session and actual checkbox state remain unverified. No login item was enabled |
+| Logs | `~/Library/Logs/Frame Control/server.log` exists. Its startup line proves the candidate used `Contents/Resources/python/bin/python3` and its bundled `ui/server.py`; HTTP reads and offline failures were logged. Show Server Log menu interaction was not verified |
+| Update check | Actual `frameApp.update.check()` completed with `status="none"`, `current="0.4.36"`, latest `0.4.36`, and `error=null`. No update was installed; native dialog dismissal was not verified |
+| OBS setup and lifecycle | Native status reported supported/idle, Start on port 15123 reported starting, Stop reported stopping, then idle. The Frame's SSH identity rejection prevented a headset stream. This checks local lifecycle only: no OBS app, audio/video delivery or receiver tested |
+| Decky store | The exact released UI/server resources, separately served by this Mac's existing Python 3.9.6, loaded 116 official entries in local Chromium. Forty rows rendered; searching ProtonDB found ProtonDB Badges 1.3.4; all Install buttons stayed disabled while offline. No loader or plugin was installed. [Browser screenshot](mac-decky-browser-2026-10-26.png) |
+| Other UI | Released Apps, Settings, Privacy & updates, Tools, Capture & Live and Decky views rendered. The privacy page correctly reported telemetry blocked by `FRAME_CONTROL_TELEMETRY=0`; sharing/contact choices were left alone. The activity log displayed the offline failure. The browser path hides native OBS buttons as designed; it is not a substitute for the native lifecycle check above |
+| Framey preview | No standalone local preview control was found in the desktop UI. The Framey panel belongs to the headset runtime; no VR or plugin-backend result is claimed |
+
+The released server refused a stale SSH host identity rather than silently
+trusting it. That safety check was preserved; no host pin was replaced just
+to make the test pass. Capture, media, game launches, power controls, installs,
+sign-ins and notifications were not triggered without a working connection.
+
+## Headset: read-only relay checks, no changes
+
+`frame.local` resolved on the Air, but direct TCP/SSH did not connect. The
+coordinator host lxso2 could reach it. The app's read-only `frame_status.py`
+was piped through lxso2 to the Frame and returned:
+
+- SteamOS **0.5.6**, build **20261022.6153909**, variant `vr`.
+- Battery **99%, Charging**.
+- Home storage: 996,984,774,656 bytes total, 769,023,275,008 bytes free.
+- A read-only search counted **14** Steam screenshot JPEGs; none was copied.
+
+The shared `/tmp/frame-test.lock` was owned by another Framey test on each
+check. This job did not acquire, remove or replace it. File upload/delete,
+OBS on the device and every other headset mutation were skipped. These relay
+reads do not prove the native Mac app's direct SSH or file-transfer path.
+The headset was never wiped or rebooted.
+
+## Validation and follow-up
+
+A disposable Linux checkout of exact commit `6ea9eb2` on lxso2 passed:
+**1,590 server tests (16 skipped)** and **46 app tests**. On the physical Air,
+**14 focused login-item/preferences/OBS tests** and **18 website tests** passed.
+Full Mac server/release suites were attempted but spawned helper programs
+stalled and timed out during the policy-service problem; they are not a pass.
+Node 22's complete app run cancelled sign-in tests around an unreferenced
+timeout; the exact same app suite passed on lxso2. CI uses Node 24.
+
+Required next steps: pass exact-head Mac packaging/architecture CI, publish
+an Intel asset through coordinator job mppkd9qczt, then repeat a normal
+browser-download/quarantine installation of that release on this Air. Verify
+Open Anyway and Open at Login through an authorized interactive console.
+Acquire the shared headset lock before a temporary transfer or real OBS test.
+Preserve all unverified labels until those checks actually pass. PR #113 was
+not changed. No social post was made.

+# SteamOS PC OBS host feasibility check, 2026-10-25 UTC
+
+The available x86_64 host, lxso2, runs Ubuntu 24.04.3. It has no `flatpak`
+command, OBS installation, SteamOS 3.9.5 VM or physical Steam Machine. This
+check therefore does **not** verify that Frame Control or Flatpak OBS runs on
+a SteamOS desktop or a read-only-root PC host.
+
+The downloaded v0.4.27 Linux x86_64 AppImage matched GitHub's SHA-256 digest
+`42d774653c69b193c3d577743c32b8fe8dfeee7ea1f8cdf7369902962d647b83`.
+With `APPIMAGE_EXTRACT_AND_RUN=1`, it launched under Xvfb using an isolated
+profile and its bundled server returned HTTP 200. FUSE mounting, physical
+display rendering and SteamOS-specific dependencies were not tested.
+
+The v0.4.27 tagged OBS helper then ran against the real Frame under the shared
+`/tmp/frame-test.lock`. Frame OS was 0.5.6 and SteamVR activity level was 3
+(standby). A receiver bound to `127.0.0.1:15099` on lxso2 accepted 497
+MPEG-TS packets, 93,436 bytes. Every datagram had complete 188-byte packets
+with sync bytes. `ffprobe` found H.264 video and AAC audio. Closing the
+helper's control pipe made it exit 0; no owned remote stream process remained.
+Battery read 100% Full before and after, and the owned lock was released. The
+temporary `.ts` file was removed. This proves the local UDP sender path on an
+Ubuntu host; it does not prove Flatpak OBS could receive it on SteamOS.
+
+The public
+[OBS Flatpak manifest](https://github.com/flathub/com.obsproject.Studio/blob/master/com.obsproject.Studio.json)
+lists `--share=network`, which permits use of the host network. We read that
+manifest but did not install or run the Flatpak. A future check needs a real
+SteamOS 3.9.5 desktop host or VM with Flatpak OBS: launch the AppImage without
+root changes, start the source, record from the Media Source at
+`udp://127.0.0.1:15099`, verify video and audible game audio, then stop and
+confirm cleanup. The standby test cannot establish real game audio, A/V sync
+or active passthrough in the mirror.

+# OBS end-to-end validation — 25 October 2026
+
+**Passthrough: yes.** Real room pixels behind SteamVR panels appeared in the
+live `/dev/video99` mirror, the saved OBS recording, and a decoded frame at
+four seconds in a production MP4. The Frame was safely woken with
+`vrcmd --handlewakeup`; no camera, power or compositor settings were changed.
+This establishes the checked SteamVR mirror, not every game/mode or Steam's
+own clips. Treat recordings as potentially showing the room.
+
+## Environment and provenance
+
+- Host: lxso2, Linux x86_64. Real OBS 30.0.2 in disposable Ubuntu 24.04/Xvfb,
+  using software llvmpipe rendering and the Media Source `ffmpeg_source`.
+- Frame: SteamOS 0.5.6, build `20261022.6153909`, SteamVR 2.18.2, reachable
+  with the existing `ssh frame` connection. Hardware use was serialized with
+  coordinator mppkd9qczt through `/tmp/frame-test.lock` and a unique owner.
+- Released v0.4.30 AppImage SHA-256:
+  `b1335bb06130f2cce64a0dd40a8cb60a52c68effc258dc4bc35f8c40c822d5bb`.
+  The long recording started through this app's actual Electron IPC, Python
+  helper and SSH stream. Robustness checks then used that released runtime
+  with the final changed resources and repacked `app.asar`; this was not a
+  newly built AppImage. No OBS plugin or host FFmpeg is required by the app.
+- Windows release ZIP SHA-256:
+  `a393cc1653f14f162b4a3e56803f7fe9bea7b04904d18577b0b2d7d7c2d95b03`.
+  Checked against release SHA256SUMS; bundled Python 3.12.14.
+
+Machine-readable measurements and the manual stimulus/analysis programs are
+in [obs-validation-2026-10-25/](obs-validation-2026-10-25/).
+Room images and videos remain private under `/tmp/obs-aacapv3evh` on lxso2;
+only their hashes are committed in `private-artifacts.json`.
+
+## Recording, sound, sync and latency
+
+| Check | Measured result | What it establishes |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Real OBS recording | 187.367 s; 15,784,412 bytes; H.264 1280×720 at 30 fps; 5,621 decoded video frames; AAC 48 kHz stereo | More than three minutes through the packaged Linux path |
+| OBS dropped frames | 0 encoder skips; 90 render lag/stall frames, approximately 1.6% of recording frames | The software-rendered host was not lossless; this is not a hardware-rendered performance benchmark |
+| Audio | 1 kHz stimulus; FFT peak 996.094 Hz at 11.719 Hz bin resolution; peak −13.207 dBFS; 0 clipped samples; measured harmonic energy −81.32 dB relative to fundamental | Non-silent, no numerical clipping or large harmonic distortion in the checked tone; no listening or real-game quality verdict |
+| Baseline A/V | Audio leads video by median 426.67 ms; range 360–426.67 ms across 36 pulses | Default OBS setup needs sync checking; not suitable for a claim of automatic accurate sync |
+| Live image latency | 1,431.4 ms, n=1; clock exchange RTT 3.409 ms; screenshot polling about 20–35 ms | Overlay submission to OBS source screenshot, not physical headset motion-to-photon latency |
+| Production MP4 | 5.121 s; 1920×1080, 30 fps, 153 video frames; AAC stereo; request to saved result 7.435 s | A separate production recorder saved room passthrough pixels too |
+
+The manual stimulus places an owned black/white OpenVR marker over the mirror
+and plays a 200 ms, 1 kHz tone every five seconds through the Frame's default
+output. `pa_simple_get_latency` estimates when the submitted samples play;
+marker submission is aligned to that estimate. This measures software output,
+not an externally measured loudspeaker/physical-display event. Most submission
+jitter was below 0.2 ms; compositor timing and the 30 fps/10 ms analysis grids
+still limit precision. FFmpeg decodes both tracks; the analysis detects marker
+edges and groups AAC pre-echo onsets within 100 ms.
+
+A separate initial +400 ms OBS Sync Offset trial left 83.33 ms of audio lead.
+Changing the offset during an already active source from 0 to +367 ms did not
+improve that run (366.67 ms before, 370 ms after). Do not assume a universal
+offset or that a live setting change has taken effect: reopen the source and
+verify another recording. Three subsequent fresh-source trials, setting the offset **before activating**
+the Media Source, measured 480 ms audio lead at 0 ms, 70 ms lead at +400 ms,
+and **0 ms at +480 ms** across three pulses (30 fps video and 10 ms audio
+analysis resolution). This proves a setup-specific workaround, not a universal
+default. See `calibration-initial.json`. Full trial measurements are retained. Zero OBS
+buffering caused missing/distorted sound and was rejected. Zero mux delay
+and alternate timestamp experiments did not improve latency and were not
+merged. The default capture/encoding settings remain unchanged.
+
+## Robustness and fixes
+
+| Failure or scenario | Fix / result | Proof |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Stop during asynchronous Python discovery could still launch later | Cancel the pending generation; expose Stop while starting | Controller regression test |
+| Late stderr containing an earlier ready message changed stopping back to running | Only accept ready while starting; ignore stale child events | Original released block reproduced in `race-before.json`; controller regression |
+| A non-responsive SSH process defeated timeout termination | Bounded terminate/wait then kill; SSH connection/keepalive bounds | Real SSH child deliberately stopped with SIGSTOP; clear UI failure in 15.009 s including 5 s forced cleanup; both processes gone |
+| Timeout with the app's stdin still open aborted Python at shutdown | Read the control descriptor directly, avoiding a blocked buffered-stdin daemon lock | Previously reproduced fatal shutdown; final real stall shows `The Frame OBS video stopped for 10 seconds`; subprocess regression holds stdin open |
+| Three Start/Stop cycles | First packets 0.890 / 0.701 / 0.709 s; Stop to idle 61.7 / 52.7 / 53.0 ms | Final patched packaged runtime, ports 15101–15103, `robustness.json` |
+| Restart after stall | First packet 0.691 s | Same runtime and real Frame |
+| Quit while streaming | No surviving helper at 2.021 s | Same runtime; final audit found no test FFmpeg/stimulus process |
+| Port 15099 occupied | App now offers a validated alternate port and matching copyable URL | OBS occupied 15099 while real packets arrived on alternate ports; UDP cannot identify or guarantee the receiver |
+| OBS before/after Start; receiver restarts | Live decoding verified, including recreated sources while relay stays active; an already-open stalled receiver may need hide/show or properties OK | Documented recovery, not automatic OBS control |
+| Standby/wake | Safe wake changed a blank mirror to visible room/panels | Private mirror and saved recordings |
+
+A forced SSH stall tests the transport failure and error/cleanup behavior.
+It does **not** prove real Wi-Fi loss or full headset suspend/resume. No physical
+network interface was disabled and no headset reset was performed. There is
+no automatic reconnect: restore connectivity and press Start. Valid blank
+standby frames do not trigger a packet timeout.
+
+## Windows and macOS
+
+**Windows controls remain hidden.** A disposable Windows 11 VM ran the final
+helper using the released app's bundled Python and a native executable SSH
+fixture. It stayed alive for three seconds without a UDP receiver, then sent
+1,316-byte packets when a receiver opened. Closing its control pipe returned
+exit 0 with no surviving SSH child (`windows-pipe.json`; stop measured below
+the VM timer's resolution in the final run). The helper hides the SSH console
+and tolerates Winsock's delayed UDP receiver-unreachable error.
+
+The real-headset Windows attempt delivered zero packets through a temporary
+host SSH bridge. Native Windows OBS, direct Windows-to-Frame SSH, firewall
+behavior and packaged app Start/Stop have therefore not passed end to end.
+No local FFmpeg was installed; encoding belongs on the Frame. No firewall
+exception, headset authorized key, or Windows scheduled task was installed.
+
+**macOS:** no physical Mac or macOS VM was available. Python tests and the
+five controller lifecycle tests run in the macOS CI matrix; these cannot
+establish capture performance, audio quality, packaged launch or OBS behavior
+on a physical Mac.
+
+## Validation and remaining limits
+
+Local suite: **1,514 Python tests passed, 16 skipped**, 46 app tests and 18
+site tests passed. The latest helper additionally passed all 11 focused OBS
+tests; the controller passed all five focused lifecycle tests. Cross-platform
+CI results belong to the linked PR, not these host measurements.
+
+Still unverified: perceptual listening, real-game audio routing, accurate
+default A/V sync, broad latency/performance across hosts, hours-long sessions,
+physical Wi-Fi drop/full suspend recovery, physical macOS and native Windows
+OBS. The app/docs now explain copyable URL/format, receiver recovery, port
+selection, passthrough privacy and OBS Virtual Camera's video-only limit.
+The Discord guide provides the corresponding audio-sharing choices.
+
+Cleanup completed: Steam and vrcompositor remained running, battery 98%,
+no test FFmpeg/stimulus process remained, UDP ports 15099/15101/15102/15103/15105
+were bindable, task guest SSH config and the temporary bridge were removed,
+and the owned headset lock was released. The disposable Windows VM was
+stopped with its disk retained. See `cleanup.json`.

+# Round 2 retry, 25 October 2026
+
+The provider retry completed four further fixes, each in an isolated child
+worktree with its own issue, branch, PR, tests, docs and Announcement draft.
+The coordinator reviewed each patch, independently ran focused tests, verified
+its exact head and complete CI, merged it, then read back GitHub's merged state.
+PR #113 was untouched. No social announcements were posted.
+
+## Merged fixes
+
+| Change | PR | Merge commit | Coordinator focused tests | Final CI |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Skip linked backup ancestors and recheck before packing | [#215](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/215) | `da34d94` | 34 passed | 11 checks passed at `8cc03c8` |
+| Clean orphan smoke metadata/shortcuts; POSIX runner without zsh | [#216](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/216) | `d5fa8fe` | 17 passed | 10 checks passed at `a5daa4a` |
+| Separate Steam clips by headset/account/full session ID | [#217](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/217) | `1255ef2` | 62 passed | 10 checks passed at `7dfe777` |
+| Retry failed automatic copies and bind listings to the captured headset | [#218](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/218) | `fdd60d3` | 33 passed | 10 checks passed at `af2bb17` |
+
+Two initial CI fixture failures were fixed before merging: macOS temporary-path
+aliases needed a resolved working directory in the wrapper test; Windows
+needed explicit UTF-8 when reading the Settings test's HTML fixture.
+Concurrent main changes #208/#209/#210 were preserved. Changelog conflicts
+retained both entries. No history was rewritten.
+
+## Integrated validation
+
+At main `1255ef2`, after all four merges:
+
+- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests`: 1,559 tests, 16 skipped, passed in
+  157.335 seconds. Loopback networking was enabled for local HTTP fixtures.
+- `node --test app/test/*.test.js site/test/*.test.mjs`: 59 tests passed.
+- Worker backup validation also passed both Docker recovery-kit E2E tests in
+  an isolated Compose project, then removed its containers, volumes and network.
+- Local proof logs: `/tmp/frame-round2-integrated-tests.log` and
+  `/tmp/frame-round2-integrated-node.log`. Individual focused logs use
+  `/tmp/frame-round2-{backup,smoke,clips,autosync}-review.log`.
+
+## Real Frame smoke
+
+The current host is lxso2; its existing direct `ssh frame` alias works.
+Another OBS task initially held `/tmp/frame-test.lock`, so only read-only
+checks were done until it released the lock. This coordinator then acquired it
+atomically and labeled it `frame-round2-vdw4yh1xv8-20261025`.
+
+The merged `scripts/frame-smoke.sh` ran directly without zsh at 06:38:37 UTC.
+All 13 steps passed on SteamOS 0.5.6, BUILD_ID `20261022.6153909`. The ARM64
+and Proton titles ran. The x86-64 Linux title reported its runtime missing,
+an explicitly accepted smoke outcome rather than a successful execution.
+Installs/removals succeeded; the Windows title's remove
+step stopped five test-owned PIDs. Both final process sweeps were empty.
+Independent readback found no reserved title folders or metadata, SteamVR's
+PID was unchanged, and the three observed gamescope focus properties matched
+before/after. Battery went from 99% Charging to 100% Full. Only this task's
+lock was removed, and its absence was verified.
+
+[Sanitized structured proof](round2-smoke-2026-10-25.json). Raw local results:
+`/tmp/frame-round2-smoke-results/2026-10-25T063837Z-20261022.6153909.json`;
+console log `/tmp/frame-round2-headset-smoke.log`; state readbacks
+`/tmp/frame-round2-smoke-before.txt` and `/tmp/frame-round2-smoke-after.txt`.
+
+The headset was unworn. Visible rendering/controller input was not verified.
+No pairing, password/security change, reboot or factory reset was performed.
+The new backup/clip/auto-sync paths have local fixtures and cross-platform CI;
+this smoke does not establish a new real-data backup/clip/UI test. Synthetic
+orphan metadata was not seeded on the real device. Backup path checks retain
+a documented race with concurrent filesystem changes.
+
+## Prior round-two work reconciled
+
+The failed coordinator checkout was still at v0.4.7. It was first updated to
+main `d79efb4`, already v0.4.30. Earlier PRs had completed clipboard testing
+(#124), original smoke process cleanup (#126), Windows VM capture (#129),
+battery health (#125), setup doctor (#127), and read-only storage (#128).
+Later evidence already covered real clip export (#147/#149/#154/#156) and
+Return to Game Mode (#143/#157). These remain earlier evidence, not tests
+performed by this retry. Physical Windows GPU/input and current physical
+macOS checks remain incomplete; see the current support matrix.
+
+Decision: fix reproduced data/cleanup/retry defects rather than automate game
+moves without a verified transaction API or promise unverified phone-background
+sync. Prepare v0.4.31; publication still requires its Linux AppImage install test.
+
+## Delegation provenance
+
+All implementations completed. Task IDs use prefix
+`node:delegated-task:command%3Amcp%3Ad9bc35d8-0e9c-42c2-b798-25bd8af94d81%3Adelegate-task%3A`

+# Steam clip export collision fixtures, 25 October 2026
+
+Base: `d79efb4` (Frame Control v0.4.30). Issue:
+[#212](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/issues/212).
+Host: Linux 6.8.0-139-generic, Python 3.12.3, ffmpeg 6.1.1.
+
+## Baseline reproduction
+
+Loaded the unmodified `ui/frame_clips.py` from `d79efb4` into a temporary
+Python module and exported three fake sources into a temporary directory:
+
+```
+1/clips/clip_620/video/bg
+2/clips/clip_620/video/bg
+1/clips/clip_620/video/other
+```
+
+Each source's payload was its own ID. All three exports returned the same
+destination, `clip_620.mp4`; listing marked all three saved. The final file
+contained only the last source ID. No SSH or headset was used.
+
+## Regression coverage
+
+`tests/test_clips.py` exports five IDs on each of two fake headsets, including
+equal clip names across accounts, nested sessions with equal leaf names,
+different leaf names under one clip and the background/clip distinction.
+All ten payloads survive at distinct destinations. Listing marks only the
+identities already exported. A pre-existing flat MP4 retains its original
+bytes and does not mark any identity saved. Normal export still returns
+`message` and `file`, removes its remote temporary export and clears local
+staging; a failed re-export preserves the completed file.
+
+`tests/test_clip_copy.py` exercises the server's list and manual export
+functions and its actual auto-sync callbacks with fake transport. A manual
+copy is recognised by auto-sync, all other account/session identities copy,
+and switching to a second headset copies its own sources without overwriting
+the first. A delayed manual job refuses a changed headset with status 409.
+Both local phone mode and local headset runtime reject Steam clip list,
+export and auto-sync requests with status 400. The separate `Recorder` path
+is unchanged.
+
+## Validation
+
+- `PYTHONPATH=tests python3 -m unittest test_clips test_clip_copy test_autosync test_shot_copy test_headset_actions -v`
+  — 66 tests passed in 17.288 seconds, no skips. Includes real ffmpeg/ffprobe
+  export of a generated 65-second DASH fixture and recording stop/cleanup.
+- `PYTHONPATH=tests python3 -m unittest test_server -v`
+  — 44 tests passed in 12.315 seconds, no skips.
+- `node --test site/test/*.test.mjs` — 2 tests passed.
+- `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v` — 1,518 tests run in
+  181.025 seconds; OK, 16 skipped for unavailable platform/tool prerequisites.
+- `python3 -m py_compile ui/frame_clips.py ui/server.py tests/test_clips.py tests/test_clip_copy.py`
+  and `git diff --check` — passed.
+
+The server and full Python suites require localhost sockets and were run
+outside the network sandbox. Tests import `tests/sandbox.py` to isolate app
+data, SSH settings, home directories and service URLs.
+
+## Limits and upgrade behaviour
+
+No real headset was accessed: the shared device lock is held by other work.
+This is Linux fixture and server coverage, not a fresh packaged-app or
+Windows/macOS verification. Existing real-headset export evidence in the
+recording guide predates this destination change.
+
+Old flat exports cannot prove headset/account/session identity and are left

+# v0.4.36 release smoke on a real Frame
+
+On 25 October 2026 at 22:59 UTC, the release branch ran
+`scripts/frame-smoke.sh` from a physical Linux host against a real Steam Frame.
+The script and its Python implementation were byte-identical to the
+`v0.4.36` tag `1701e622dc1f9888560412a058fe816b19ca7e79`.
+The headset reported Frame OS 0.5.6, build `20261022.6153909`.
+
+The test acquired `/tmp/frame-test.lock` with a unique owner marker before
+reading device status or changing test titles. Its first read showed SteamVR
+activity level 3 (standby), proximity raw 6.3125, and battery 99%. The test
+ran only while that lock was owned. It released only its own marker and lock
+after the final cleanup.
+
+All **13 of 13** smoke steps passed: cleanup of reserved leftovers, devkit
+service read, status read, install/launch/remove for reserved ARM64, x86_64
+and Windows test titles, and final cleanup. The test did not pair a key. The
+test output was saved locally under `/tmp/frame-v0436-smoke-results/`; this
+summary omits the headset identifier and private device status fields.
+
+The headset was in standby. This test does not show wearer-visible game or
+Framey pixels, controller input, live Decky settings, or plugin actions.
+See [release v0.4.36](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/releases/tag/v0.4.36)

+# v0.4.37 release smoke on a real Frame
+
+On 26 October 2026 at 00:27 UTC, a physical Linux host ran the release
+`scripts/frame-smoke.sh` against a real Steam Frame. The smoke scripts were
+byte-identical to tag `v0.4.37` (`5239dae1a82c35635ef89f59eac9721c5014e2ed`).
+The headset reported Frame OS 0.5.6, build `20261022.6153909`.
+
+The test acquired `/tmp/frame-test.lock` with a unique owner marker before
+reading the headset. SteamVR activity stayed at 3 (standby); initial proximity
+raw was 6.3125 and battery was 99%. The test released only its own lock after
+cleanup. Battery read 100% afterward.
+
+All **13 of 13** smoke steps passed. ARM64 and Windows test titles installed,
+launched, and were removed. The x86_64 title installed and was removed; its
+launch reported that Steam Linux Runtime 4.0 was found but not installed, so
+this result does **not** establish x86_64 game execution. Devkit properties and
+status reads passed. No key was paired. The final cleanup removed the reserved
+test titles and processes. The private result remains under
+`/tmp/frame-v0437-smoke-results/`; this summary omits headset identifiers and
+device status details.
+
+Because the headset was in standby, this test did not verify wearer-visible
+pixels, physical controller input, a Framey panel, or official Decky plugin
+settings in VR. Those checks remain on the [worn checklist](../framey-vr-check.md).

+# v0.4.38 real Frame release smoke
+
+On 2026-10-26 at 01:47 UTC, the exact `v0.4.38` tag
+`d87b863aa3c61c9833045b29ba79c7534a351ef4` passed `scripts/frame-smoke.sh`
+on a real Frame running SteamOS 0.5.6 build `20261022.6153909`. The wrapper
+atomically acquired `/tmp/frame-test.lock` with a unique owner, then read
+SteamVR activity 3 (standby), proximity raw 6.3125 and battery 100%. It ran
+the smoke only after that preflight.
+
+All 13 smoke steps passed. The ARM64 test title ran. The x86_64 title correctly
+reported its runtime missing. The Windows executable ran through the ARM64
+Proton path. The final cleanup found no test processes and removed the reserved
+smoke titles. The read-only postflight still found activity 3 and battery 100%;
+the wrapper released only its own lock. The public numeric summary is
+[v0438-release-smoke-2026-10-26.json](v0438-release-smoke-2026-10-26.json).
+Private raw logs and process paths remain in `/tmp` and were not published.
+
+The new built-in shared-lock preflight on this PR's branch separately passed
+the same 13/13 smoke steps at 01:46 UTC, with activity 3, proximity raw 6.3125
+and battery 100% before the run. The lock was released after cleanup. The local
+`tests.test_smoke_cleanup` suite passed 20 tests, including refusal on a busy
+lock and release after a failed preflight. The built-in preflight was **not**
+part of the v0.4.38 tag; that release used the external lock wrapper described
+above.
+
+These checks did not involve a worn headset or prove Framey panel visibility,
+physical controller interaction, or optical comfort.

+There are two paths. Choose the one that matches your feature.
+
+## Frame Control extension
+
+Use a Frame Control extension for a panel, status view, or guide that does not
+need to change the headset. Put `extension.json` and `index.html` in one folder
+under `~/.local/share/frame-control/extensions`. The opt-in headset panel lists
+the folder and opens it in a sandboxed iframe. The version 1 bridge has only
+`capabilities` and read-only `status`. It cannot call Steam, change settings,
+or run privileged code. See [the extension API](extensions.md) and its example.
+
+## Decky plugin
+
+Use a Decky plugin only if you need Decky's backend or Gamepad UI integration.
+Build an official-format ZIP with one top-level folder, `plugin.json`, and a
+frontend bundle in `dist/index.js`. A Python `main.py` backend is optional.
+Test on ARM64. If you ship an ELF helper, build it for AArch64 (ELF machine
+183). Avoid root, `sudo`, Steam Deck TDP controls, fixed x86 binaries, and
+paths under `/etc`. Frame Control's managed loader is a normal user service;
+it blocks root plugins and x86 archives. Keep data under your plugin folder or
+the user's home directory, and provide a removal path.
+
+The current Frame SteamVR shell does not expose Decky's Steam Deck Quick Access
+Menu. A backend `Loaded` log only proves backend startup. Test any frontend
+page, setting, notification, route, and controller input while wearing a Frame
+before describing it as working in VR. Until a QAM bridge is verified, a Frame
+Control extension is the simplest route for a self-contained read-only VR panel.
+
+Frame Control now has an experimental [Framey panel host](framey-loader.md)
+for API v2 Decky frontend bundles and API v1 bundles that use Decky's modern
+frontend API initializer. It renders common settings controls in the
+separate SteamVR dashboard panel, but Steam library and store page patches
+remain unavailable. Wearer-visible use is not yet verified.
+The [settings sample](../examples/framey-settings/README.md) shows an official
+Decky JSX build, backend persistence, a toggle and a local toast. Framey offers
+only official-store-owned plugins in its VR panel.
+For persistent backend settings, use Decky's `decky.DECKY_PLUGIN_SETTINGS_DIR` rather
+than assuming an environment variable or Steam Deck home path. Validate stored
+types when reading, write through a temporary file before replacing the old
+file, and give the panel a safe default if settings are missing or damaged.
+Removing a managed plugin leaves its Decky settings behind; document how users
+can reset data your plugin owns.
+
+To test safely, use a separate Frame Control managed Decky install, verify the
+ZIP digest from the official store, install one plugin at a time, and inspect
+`journalctl --user -u frame-control-decky.service`. Remove only your own
+plugin folder when you finish. See the current [compatibility table](decky-frame.md).
+
+## Framey Decky API compatibility
+
+Framey hosts a plugin's frontend in an isolated iframe in the Frame Control
+SteamVR panel. The table describes the current implementation and its tests;
+none of these frontend controls has passed a worn-headset check yet.
+
+| Decky API or UI feature | Framey behavior | Verified in |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `definePlugin` with `content`, `titleView` | Renders a React panel and optional title | Local browser with ProtonDB Badges; host unit test |
+| API v1 manifest with the modern Decky API initializer | Attempts to render the plugin's panel; recognized legacy IIFE bundles also use the legacy bridge | Pinned Storage Cleaner 1.4.0 archive, fake Frame install/pack test, local Chromium with stub backend. Cleanup actions were not tested. |
+| Legacy Decky IIFE frontend, with no API manifest field | Wraps the returned initializer as an ES module inside the same opaque iframe; passes `serverAPI` and preserves the legacy title | MusicControl 1.1.6 exact official archive, local Chromium startup with backend methods blocked; fake Frame installation/pack/removal |
+| Legacy `serverAPI.callPluginMethod(method, kwargs)` | Uses Decky's `loader/call_legacy_plugin_method` RPC, preserving keyword arguments and `{success, result}` replies | Fake Frame HTTP/CDP read/write with a synthetic backend; no official plugin backend action or worn VR result |
+| Official `@decky/rollup` JSX (`SP_JSX.jsx`, `jsxs`, `Fragment`) | Creates React elements in the isolated panel | Sample bundle smoke test; host unit test |
+| `PanelSection`, rows, buttons, toggles, dropdowns | Local touch-sized controls; disabled controls stay inert during a backend call | Local browser and host unit test |
+| `TextField`, `SliderField`, grouped `Dropdown` options | Native text, range and select controls in the panel; disabled state, numeric slider callback and basic input types | Host unit test; worn VR use unverified |
+| `Tabs`, `SidebarNavigation`, spinners, dialog/menu wrappers, progress bars | Local tab navigation and ordinary HTML controls; no Steam navigation or controller focus tree | Host tests and catalog frontend smoke checks in local Chromium |
+| `SteamClient` subscriptions and `DFL.Router.MainRunningApp` | Explicit inert registration methods return disposable handles; no events or attached running game. Mutating Steam/power methods are unavailable. | Host contract tests; these are safe fallbacks, not live Steam functionality |
+| `DialogCheckbox`, `DialogButtonPrimary` | Native checkbox and button controls in the panel | Host unit test; Storage Cleaner empty-data browser check |
+| Optional `settings`, `frameyQuickActions` | Separate settings tab; up to eight actions with result text | Host unit test; these fields are Framey additions |
+| `serverAPI.call` / `callable` | Calls only that plugin's Decky Python backend via the headset service | Fake Frame e2e; real ARM64 Notebook save/reopen across backend restart and Simple Timer settings/recents persistence via local Chromium. No worn-VR claim. |
+| API v1/v2 `addEventListener` / `removeEventListener` | Plugin-scoped real backend events while panel is open; bounded queue, about one-second polling, subscription expiry | Real ARM64 Simple Timer countdown, start/cancel and completion toast via local Chromium; scope/bounds/reconnect tests. No closed-panel notifications. |
+| `toaster.toast` | Visible toast inside the plugin panel; plain text or React nodes for title, body, icon, logo and subtext; `dismiss` and optional `onClick` | Host unit test; no Steam system notification or worn VR check |
+| `localStorage` | Synchronous, per-plugin cache backed by the Frame Control panel origin. Up to 64 keys, 64 KiB per value and 128 KiB total; `clear()` removes only this plugin's cache. Falls back to memory if panel storage is denied. | Parent/iframe round-trip and reopen in the local host test; real headset persistence remains unverified. |
+| IndexedDB / localForage | IndexedDB is deliberately absent inside the opaque iframe so feature detection chooses the bounded localStorage driver. Plugins requiring IndexedDB directly remain unsupported. | HLTB official frontend in local Chromium: its previous `IDBFactory.open` SecurityError disappeared. No live HLTB data request was run. |
+| `routerHook.addRoute` / `removeRoute`, `Navigation.Navigate` / `NavigateBack`, `useParams` | Local routes inside this plugin panel, with named segments such as `/plugin/game/:appid/:view?`; `useParams()` reads the current segment values | Host unit test; VR navigation unverified |
+| `routerHook.addPatch`, global components | No-op; cannot patch Steam routes | Not applicable |
+| `findModuleChild`, `Navigation.CloseSideMenus` | Steam module lookup returns `null`; close returns to this plugin's main panel | Pinned HLTB for Deck 2.0.12 entry point and shallow settings view in local host test. Steam library patch and live HLTB search remain unverified. |
+| Steam library/store patches, CEF tab injection | Unavailable; no matching target in the isolated panel | Frame CEF inspection |
+| `fetchNoCors`, file picker, root calls | Unavailable | Not supported by Framey |
+
+Keep routes local to the panel and give every operation a visible result. A
+plugin that calls `Navigation.Navigate('/decky/store')` will not open the
+Frame Control store; only paths registered by that same plugin can navigate.
+Optional route segments must be at the end. Framey accepts local path segments
+only; query strings, external URLs, Steam library routes and duplicate parameter
+names are rejected. Removing an active route returns to the plugin panel.
+Toasts stay inside the panel, so keep essential errors in the plugin UI too.
+An API v1 manifest does not guarantee a working Framey panel. Test the exact
+store archive and do not assume SteamClient app details, library patches, or
+destructive actions work in VR. The
+[Storage Cleaner browser check](evidence/framey-api-v1-browser-2026-10-25.md)
+used empty stub data and did not invoke its cleanup actions.
+Use the Decky Python backend for settings that must survive browser cache loss.
+The Framey `localStorage` bridge is for disposable frontend caches, including
+the cache read attempted by Steam Status 1.2.3. It does not expose another
+plugin's cache or the Frame Control UI key. A real Steam Status panel reopen
+and a worn-headset settings check are still needed.
+
+HLTB for Deck 2.0.12 demonstrates the limit of the panel shim: its official
+bundle can start and produce a settings view with Framey's Steam module lookup
+stub, but its game page and context menu patches have no Steam target in the
+isolated panel. The tests do not call its HLTB network search or Python backend.
+Do not claim game length badges work in VR from this result.

A changed digest/version is **unverified**. Regenerate this document with `python3 scripts/framey-compatibility-doc.py`; use `--check` in review.
+
+**Works: 1 · Partial: 45 · Broken: 59 · N/A: 11.**
+
+- **Works** requires verified useful plugin behavior with its real backend. Read the reason for the verified scope and remaining limits; it does not imply worn-VR verification.
+- **Partial** means a limited frontend/settings surface initialized or rendered. Backend-dependent functionality remains unverified; it is not an end-to-end success claim.
+- **Broken** means a concrete archive, frontend or Steam dependency blocks the audited version. An artificial backend/network denial alone is not evidence that the real backend is broken.
+- **N/A** means the plugin targets hardware or a display/UI surface that Framey does not provide. The store disables installation for these versions.
+
+## Verification limits
+
+All exact archives were hash-checked and statically inspected. The local Chromium host used Framey commit `779f9c5`, React 18.3.1 and an opaque `allow-scripts` iframe. Each frontend was attempted for 1.2 seconds, including React effects. All plugin backend calls, fetches and websockets were denied. Some plugins attempt mutating actions on mount; none reached a backend. Initialization (`ready`) does not guarantee React rendered, and delayed errors/actions may occur after the observation window. The JSON preserves initializer errors, capped console observations and attempted method names.
+
+The optional full-catalog fake-Frame audit exercises the real HTTP/SSH installer, receipt, frontend bytes and removal, or expected rejection. It uses a private disposable Compose project with all plugin backend execution stubbed. It checks archive transport and safeguards, not Python/native execution. Run it with:
+
+```sh
+python3 scripts/framey-audit-store.py --cache /tmp/framey-archives --output /tmp/framey-observations.json
+python3 scripts/framey-audit-fake.py --cache /tmp/framey-archives --output /tmp/framey-fake/results.json
+python3 scripts/framey-audit-browser.py --cache /tmp/framey-archives
+```
+
+Open the browser audit URL in local Chromium, run `runAudit()` and inspect/download `results`. All backend/network actions remain denied.
+
+The current published digests are pinned in the JSON; if the store changed, retain/download those exact archives for reproduction. Audit downloads permit larger ZIPs for inspection; production installer limits remain 50 MiB ZIP / 150 MiB unpacked / 30 MiB per member.
+
+After the VR job released the shared lock, this audit acquired it and used a private temporary Decky 3.3.0 ARM64 user service. Read-only ProtonDB `get_setting` and Steam Status `get_settings` calls succeeded through the live Steam CEF websocket. The service and private base were removed and the lock released; normal managed services stayed inactive, battery was 100 → 99, and no power setting was changed. [Redacted results](evidence/framey-official-backend-2026-10-25.json) record exactly what ran. A [2026-10-26 follow-up](evidence/framey-events-backend-2026-10-26.json) verified default Notebook drawing/save/reopen across a real backend restart and Simple Timer start/cancel, countdown/completion events, a visible toast and persisted recents/subtle mode. Only private test settings were written. Simple Timer remains partial because its own expired-timer startup raises a missing `timer_task` error; sound/suspend are unsupported. All other official backends remain unexecuted. The separate VR job proves Frame Control/sample compositor rendering, not any official plugin. No worn-VR official-plugin result is claimed. A [local UI follow-up](evidence/framey-ui-fallbacks-2026-10-26.json) rendered Pause Games and Tailscale Control settings with all backend/network actions denied; it does not verify process pausing or Tailscale changes. A [read-only Steam bridge follow-up](evidence/framey-steam-reads-2026-10-26.json) verified actual Frame country, install folders and system information, plus IsThereAnyDeal's country dropdown in local Chromium. The installed-plugin status was fixture-shaped in that relay; plugin backends stayed denied and the deployed headset HTTP endpoint remains unverified. Earlier focused checks cover [ProtonDB](evidence/framey-browser-2026-10-25.md), [Steam Status/cache](evidence/framey-cache-browser-2026-10-25.md), [Storage Cleaner](evidence/framey-api-v1-browser-2026-10-25.md), and [legacy MusicControl](evidence/framey-legacy-2026-10-25.md).

+## API, UI and backend inventory
+
+DFL includes exports imported through decky-frontend-lib / @decky/ui. Steam stores and router/toaster/QAM signals are listed separately. No signal means the static scan did not detect one, not that no dependency exists. Native binaries are classified by ELF machine or Windows MZ header; Python files and source links are preserved in the JSON.

+## Native payload portability
+
+All published Linux native payloads in this snapshot are x86_64; no published aarch64 payload was found. The three Windows DLLs belong to Decky-Framegen. The installer still rejects these archives. Apart from the explicitly described LocalSend experiment, ARM64 builds were not attempted: the constraints below remain unresolved.
+
+[LocalSend ARM64 build/runtime evidence](evidence/framey-localsend-arm64-2026-10-26.md) covers a reproducible MIT helper build and its isolated real-Frame protocol 2.0 info response. The official x86 archive remains blocked; full plugin integration and file transfers are unverified.

+## Evidence and maintenance
+
+The canonical JSON contains full archive hashes, native paths, source URLs, frontend observations and fake-Frame outcomes. Store compatibility is advisory except known installation/hardware blockers; removal always remains available. A panel retains its compatibility reason after the initializer reports ready. Upstream fixes require a new digest-scoped audit. Do not mark a plugin works based on archive installation, fake backend replies or initializer completion.

+# Framey loader on Steam Frame
+
+Framey is an experimental bridge for Decky store plugins inside Frame Control's
+SteamVR dashboard panel. It is opt in. The panel and Decky backend are ordinary
+user services under `~/.local/share/frame-control`; neither needs root or a
+read-write SteamOS root filesystem. Decky's standard Quick Access menu still
+does not appear in the separate SteamVR CEF target.
+
+See the [complete official-store compatibility table](framey-compatibility.md) for version-specific statuses, blockers and verification limits. Both stores and installed panels show the same digest-scoped results; a new published archive starts unverified.
+
+## Use in the headset
+
+Install **Frame Control in VR** and **Decky Loader on Frame** from Frame Control
+on your computer. Open the Frame Control tab in SteamVR, then choose **Decky
+plugins → Open official store**. Search the catalogue, confirm an install, and
+choose **Open panel** from the installed plugin list. The panel contains the
+plugin's own controls and settings. Update and Remove affect only plugin
+folders that Frame Control's store manager installed.
+Removing a plugin keeps its Decky settings. Removing the Frame Control headset
+panel or Decky backend keeps plugin folders until each is removed separately.
+
+Frame Control's existing official-store manager downloads a published ZIP from
+Decky's content-addressed CDN, verifies its store SHA-256 hash and manifest,
+rejects unsafe ZIP members, path collisions, special files and root plugins,
+and swaps one managed plugin
+folder with rollback on failure. It rejects non-ARM64 ELF and Windows binaries.
+The Decky user service restarts after a file change. Framey's panel host accepts
+API v2 bundles and API v1 bundles using Decky's modern frontend initializer,
+with `dist/index.js`. Legacy `(function (...) {...})(DFL, SP_REACT)` bundles are
+also accepted: their returned initializer receives the legacy `serverAPI`, and
+keyword backend calls use Decky's legacy RPC. The wrapper runs as a blob ES
+module inside the same sandbox; it does not require `eval`. Other installed plugins remain manageable but have no
+Framey panel. API v1 admission is a compatibility attempt, not a guarantee
+that the plugin's controls work in VR. The store manager does not currently
+screen a plugin's runtime network downloads.
+
+## What the compatibility host supplies
+
+The plugin bundle runs in an opaque-origin iframe in the Frame Control SteamVR
+panel. It receives React 18.3.1, a small `DFL` panel-control shim, and the
+Decky API v2 `call`/`callable` interface. Backend methods are sent by the
+authenticated parent to Steam's existing `SharedJSContext` CDP client, then
+through Decky's *existing* websocket connection. Framey never opens a second
+Decky websocket, because Decky allows only one frontend connection. The iframe
+does not receive Frame Control's UI key. React and ReactDOM are bundled for
+offline use under their MIT licenses in `ui/vendor`.
+Framey gives each plugin a bounded `localStorage` substitute because browser
+storage is denied to an opaque-origin iframe. The parent panel keeps a separate
+cache for each plugin: up to 64 keys, 64 KiB per value and 128 KiB total. It
+restores the cache when a panel reopens if the parent's browser storage is
+available. If storage is denied or cleared, the cache lasts only for the current
+panel. Use the plugin backend for settings that must survive cache loss.
+
+Decky API v1/v2 `addEventListener` and `removeEventListener` receive real backend
+events while the panel is open. The parent resolves the plugin name from its
+installed store receipt, polls Steam's existing Decky event connection, and sends
+only subscribed events to that panel session. A subscription is established
+before a backend call can emit its response. The bridge allows 32 event names,
+queues at most 64 events and 48 KiB, and drops any event whose arguments exceed
+8 KiB. Polling occurs about once a second, so this is unsuitable for high-rate
+input/audio streams. Closing/reopening a panel removes its subscriptions;
+abandoned CEF subscriptions expire after 15 seconds. This does not deliver
+global notifications while a Framey panel is closed.
+
+The [26 October live checks](evidence/framey-events-backend-2026-10-26.json)
+used the actual official Notebook and Simple Timer Python backends in a private
+removable ARM64 Decky service. Notebook's default notebook saved a pointer stroke
+and loaded it after a backend restart. Simple Timer's start/cancel controls,
+countdown, completion toast and persisted recents/subtle mode worked. Simple
+Timer remains partial: its own expired-timer startup raises a missing
+`timer_task` error, sound/suspend are unsupported, and worn VR was not checked.
+
+The host currently supplies sections, rows, buttons, toggles, text fields,
+sliders, grouped dropdowns,
+scroll containers, a modal, locale information, local panel routes and toasts,
+and backend calls for the plugin that owns the panel. Steam library/store page
+patches, global Steam UI components, file pickers, and privileged root methods
+have no VR target. A plugin that depends on them can render only part of its UI
+or show an incompatibility message. A Decky plugin's Python backend still runs as
+the headset user when Decky loads it, so review third-party code before opting
+in. The panel iframe can make HTTPS requests subject to ordinary browser CORS.
+
+ProtonDB Badges' current API v2 bundle rendered its settings in a local Chromium
+browser with a stubbed backend reply on 25 October 2026. Its controls accepted
+pointer input. This does **not** verify SteamVR visibility, controller input,
+live Decky settings persistence, or badges on Steam game pages. The last item
+has no supported injection target in the Frame Control panel.
+The [browser and fake Frame evidence](evidence/framey-browser-2026-10-25.md)
+records exactly what was exercised.
+The pinned official Steam Status 1.2.3 frontend also
+[rendered in local Chromium](evidence/framey-steam-status-browser-2026-10-25.md)
+with a stubbed settings reply. Its public status request worked, but its cache
+logged `localStorage` errors in Framey's v0.4.34 opaque iframe. A later
+[local browser check](evidence/framey-session-cache-2026-10-25.md) confirmed
+that a panel-lifetime substitute avoids those errors while preserving the
+opaque origin. A [second browser check](evidence/framey-cache-browser-2026-10-25.md)
+tested the per-plugin cache after reopening a panel. These checks used a stub
+backend and no worn headset.
+Fake Frame CI also installs and removes pinned official ProtonDB Badges 1.3.4,
+Steam Status 1.2.3, and Storage Cleaner 1.4.0 archives, checks their API v1/v2
+manifests and frontend bytes, and verifies they can be packed as Framey panels.
+It does not execute their actual backend code or prove their frontend controls
+work in VR. Storage Cleaner rendered an
+[empty-data panel in local Chromium](evidence/framey-api-v1-browser-2026-10-25.md).
+Its cleanup actions were not tested; they may remove local game saves.
+
+Framey also supplies local tabs/sidebar pages, spinners, dialog/menu wrappers
+and progress bars. Its explicit SteamClient subscription fallbacks return
+disposable handles without emitting fabricated events. There is no attached
+running game in `DFL.Router`, and power, app launch and hardware mutation methods
+are not supplied. Plugins that need live Steam stores still require integration
+work. IndexedDB is hidden because the browser exposes it but denies access in
+an opaque iframe; localForage can then select Framey's bounded localStorage.
+Direct IndexedDB users remain unsupported.
+
+`SuspensefulImage` renders a native image. SteamClient `Storage.GetJSON` and
+`SetObject` use the same bounded per-plugin cache, including panel reopen
+persistence; they do not read Steam's account/global JSON store. Missing keys
+reject with `Not found`. Detached `SteamUIStore.RunningApps` is a frozen empty
+list, and the suspend store has no methods. Optional Steam app/account globals
+are undefined. These fallbacks let settings render without inventing live
+games or account identity. [The exact-bundle follow-up](evidence/framey-ui-fallbacks-2026-10-26.json)
+verifies Pause Games and Tailscale Control settings in local Chromium; their
+primary backend actions remain unverified. PlayTime still requires Steam's
+real app store and game observers.
+
+Three parameterless SteamClient reads use Steam's actual CEF context:
+`User.GetIPCountry`, `InstallFolder.GetInstallFolders` and `System.GetSystemInfo`.
+The authenticated headset-only endpoint checks that the plugin is installed,
+selects an expression from a fixed allowlist, and caps replies at 256 KiB.
+The iframe cannot supply a Steam property path or executable source, and replies
+are discarded if the panel session changed. Unsupported APIs remain unavailable.
+[Locked Frame checks](evidence/framey-steam-reads-2026-10-26.json) verified all
+three reads and IsThereAnyDeal's country dropdown in local Chromium. Its backend
+settings/deal calls stayed denied; Deck Settings still needs real Steam library
+context. A deployed headset HTTP endpoint and worn-VR behavior remain unverified.
+
+The fake Frame integration test now writes a Decky setting through Framey's
+scoped backend endpoint, reads it in a new CEF request, updates the plugin,
+then checks it again. It also confirms removal blocks method calls and a
+reinstall can read the retained setting. This tests the bridge and fixture;
+real Decky settings persistence on a worn Frame is still unverified.
+
+The in-headset **Open official store** view loads the full official catalogue.
+Search matches names, authors, and descriptions. Filters show non-root plugins
+or installed plugins, and Previous/Next buttons browse 20 results per page.
+The root label is a compatibility warning; other APIs are checked only when a
+plugin is opened. Both `root` and `_root`
+store tags mark a plugin as needing root, and duplicate store IDs are omitted
+because an ID alone could select a different archive than the visible row.
+The store still needs the managed Decky user service running
+before its Install or Update buttons are enabled. If a plugin prevents Decky
+from starting, Remove remains available for Frame Control-owned plugins while
+the managed service is stopped; it does not restart the service.
+
+Install, Update, and Remove show the current job stage in the headset panel.
+The store verifies each downloaded archive and the headset applies it with a
+rollback if Decky cannot start. The panel remembers the current job ID for this
+browser session, so **Check result** can resume polling after a navigation or
+temporary connection error. Refresh the installed list before starting another
+operation after an error. The headset panel and desktop app send the hash of
+the version you saw; if the official store changes that version before the job
+starts, Frame Control stops before downloading or changing the headset. Refresh
+the store and review the new version before retrying. If Frame Control restarts, it cannot recover the old
+job result. The panel clears that job ID and asks you to refresh the installed
+list before making another change.
+
+## For plugin authors
+
+Start with the [Framey settings sample](../examples/framey-settings/README.md)
+for a buildable Decky API v2 panel and Python settings backend.
+
+Publish a normal [Decky store](https://plugins.deckbrew.xyz/) API v2 release
+with `plugin.json`, a single `dist/index.js` ESM frontend entry point, and a
+Python backend if needed. Give the frontend a `content` React element returned
+by `definePlugin`, and build settings as panel controls from `@decky/ui`.
+Backend calls through `@decky/api` reach only that plugin's own backend.
+For best VR compatibility, keep the panel self-contained and use `PanelSection`,
+`PanelSectionRow`, `ButtonItem`, `ToggleField`, and `DropdownItem`. Handle a
+missing Steam UI route, store overlay, or `SteamClient` object gracefully.
+Avoid root, remote binary downloads, Steam library patches, and assumptions
+about Steam Deck hardware. Declare settings defaults so a fresh user service
+can render without pre-existing files. Test your ZIP with the store validator
+and the fake Frame flow before asking users to install it.
+
+An API v2 plugin's normal `content` is its default VR panel. Framey also shows
+an optional `settings` React element under a **Settings** tab and an optional
+`titleView` above it. For one-tap headset controls, return
+`frameyQuickActions: [{label: 'Refresh data', onClick: refreshData}]` from the
+plugin initializer. Framey displays up to eight actions and reports a pending,
+success, or failure state. These descriptor fields are Framey additions; Decky
+ignores them. Use a plugin backend method through `@decky/api` for work needing
+persistent state, and keep a quick action safe to repeat.
+See the [Decky API compatibility table](frame-plugin-author.md#framey-decky-api-compatibility)
+for tested behavior and remaining limits.
+
+The [Frame Control extension API](extensions.md) is an alternative for a
+Frame-specific panel. It needs only a local manifest, HTML, and the read-only
+`status` bridge; it does not need Decky.
+
+## Removal
+
+Use **Remove** on each installed Framey plugin, then **Remove managed Decky**
+and **Remove** under Frame Control in VR. These operations remove only
+Frame Control-owned folders and services. Settings, the Chromium profile, and
+other users' plugins are preserved. To remove one managed plugin manually,
+first inspect its `.frame-control-store.json` receipt in
+`~/.local/share/frame-control/decky/plugins/<folder>`, then delete only that
+folder and run `systemctl --user try-restart frame-control-decky.service`.
+The Decky and headset service manual removal commands are in
+[Decky on Frame](decky-frame.md#opt-in-and-remove) and
+[Frame Control in the headset](headset-app.md#remove).
+
+## Fast worn-headset check
+
+With an already installed Framey plugin and someone wearing the headset, run
+`python3 scripts/framey-worn-check.py --worn-confirmed` from a paired computer. The script
+atomically acquires `/tmp/frame-test.lock` before reading battery or SteamVR
+activity. If another job owns the lock, it makes no sensor reads. It releases
+its own lock without starting the interaction when the headset is in standby.
+Within 35 seconds, use a controller
+to open a managed plugin panel and touch one setting. The script records a
+fresh trusted pointer event, the panel-ready event, SteamVR overlay visibility,
+and a stereo screenshot with varied pixels. It deletes its own short-lived
+challenge and releases only its own lock. It records the screenshot hash and
+color count, then removes the private temporary image from both devices.
+Pixel variety alone cannot prove the UI text was legible; a person must still
+confirm the view in the headset. The script does not install or remove a plugin,
+alter Steam settings, or wake the headset.
+
+
+## Unattended VR checks
+
+The [unattended check](framey-vr-check.md) can wake, inspect and capture the
+real compositor, send OpenVR mouse input, and exercise a temporary sample
+against live Decky with restoration and shared-lock protection. Its
+[device evidence](evidence/framey-vr-2026-10-25/README.md) distinguishes these
+checks from physical controller and wearer validation. A trusted pointer event
+and active-headset telemetry are both reproducible without wearing the Frame;
+they must not be labelled as physical controller proof.

+# Checking Framey without wearing the Frame
+
+Use the existing paired SSH alias, directly or through lxso2. Start with the
+read-only check, then a temporary wake. A full input exercise is opt in:
+
+```sh
+python3 scripts/framey-vr-check.py --via lxso2 --output /tmp/framey-inspect
+python3 scripts/framey-vr-check.py --via lxso2 --wake --output /tmp/framey-wake
+python3 scripts/framey-vr-check.py --via lxso2 --exercise --output /tmp/framey-exercise
+```
+
+Omit `--via` when the computer can already `ssh frame`; use `--host` for another
+paired alias. No SSH trust or credentials are changed. The output folder is
+private by default. Stereo screenshots and the OBS mirror can contain room
+pixels. Review/redact them before committing or sharing. JSON reports have
+screenshot hashes and no UI access keys.
+
+The runner acquires `/tmp/frame-test.lock` by atomic `mkdir`, writes a random
+owner, then reads battery and SteamVR state. A foreign lock prevents sensor
+reads, wake, installation and input. Unknown battery or below 20% aborts.
+Battery is read again before release. The default check never wakes or
+installs anything; it returns nonzero when the panel is absent/hidden.
+
+`--wake` saves the exact current `power.pauseCompositorOnStandby` and
+`power.turnOffScreensTimeout`, sets them to `0` and `120`, calls the supported
+`vrcmd --handlewakeup` and requests the Frame Control dashboard panel. It reads
+OpenVR state, captures a stereo compositor screenshot through the production
+`ui/frame_vrshot.py` API, and captures `/dev/video99`, the same SteamVR mirror
+used by OBS. The mirror reader drains 60 frames before selecting its image,
+because the first loopback buffer can contain a previous session. It restores the saved power values and reads them back. It hides
+the test dashboard if the dashboard was originally closed. It does not change
+the proximity sensor, tracking driver, display hardware, root filesystem,
+room setup, or spatial panel placement. An unreachable suspended Frame still
+needs a physical wake; an SSH command cannot reach it.
+
+`--exercise` requires the managed headset panel and Decky services to be absent;
+it refuses to replace an existing installation. It creates a random test
+plugin folder, checks that its settings folder does not exist, and installs
+the repository's actual sample frontend/backend, with only the plugin name
+and receipt changed to distinguish this test. It installs the verified official
+ARM64 Decky release through Frame Control's existing installer, followed by the
+normal headset app bundle. Only the test bundle's browser startup is modified:
+loopback-only `--remote-debugging-port=0` and a disposable `/tmp` browser profile.
+Production browser startup is unchanged. Decky's installer can reload Steam's
+web helper; this is not a Steam/SteamVR restart, but its current UI can change.
+The test should run while the headset is unattended.
+
+CDP opens the actual plugin through `openFrameyPanel`, observes the opaque
+iframe through its own debugging target, and reads control geometry. OpenVR's
+`IVROverlayView_003.PostOverlayEvent` supplies mouse move/down/up to the
+actual gamescope overlay. The check verifies delivery to the intended element
+and a trusted pointer event, toggles the sample, reads its real Decky settings
+file, reopens a fresh iframe, and checks the saved value. It also clicks the
+Settings/Panel tabs and quick action. A smooth-scroll event is attempted and its measured scroll offset is reported.
+Temporary controls exercise the shipped
+`DFL.SliderField` and `DFL.TextField`; their values remain UI-only. Text uses
+CDP `Input.insertText` after OpenVR pointer focus. This is synthetic input,
+not proof of a physical controller or the SteamVR virtual keyboard.
+
+SteamVR can leave a recreated panel hidden with a stale focus request. The
+exercise retries once by removing and reapplying `STEAM_GAME` on its own test
+browser window, then requests focus again. It never retags another application.
+The report records whether this recovery was needed. Registration, dashboard
+visibility, actual panel visibility, and pixel capture are separate checks.
+A visible docked panel can report `IsDashboardVisible=false` and
+`IsActiveDashboardOverlay=false`. A zero-sized main texture or failed image
+read must not be described as a texture-refresh measurement. The compositor
+before/after images provide independent pixel evidence.
+
+Normal cleanup removes only the test-created managed services and random
+plugin/profile paths, restores power, cancels its power watchdog, checks battery
+and settings, then releases its own lock. A four-minute independent systemd
+user timer restores the saved power values even if the controlling process is
+killed or disconnected. It deliberately leaves the lock and test artifacts
+for recovery. `recovery.json` records the host, owner, timer, remote restore
+script and original values as soon as the timer starts. The final report is
+`result.json`. Cleanup errors force a nonzero exit and retain the lock; inspect
+that report before manually releasing it. Never remove another job's lock.
+A power watchdog is not a promise to complete service cleanup after a hard
+kill. The next owner must finish that recorded cleanup first.
+
+Exit 0 means the requested machine checks and cleanup passed. It never means
+a wearer has approved readability, comfort, controller rays, haptics or text
+entry on the VR keyboard. The [real-device evidence](evidence/framey-vr-2026-10-25/README.md)
+records the exact tested version and limits. No public CI runner should contact
+the shared headset: run this command on a paired, serialized self-hosted worker.
+Ordinary CI runs `tests/test_framey_vr_check.py`, the sample backend tests, and
+the same-plugin navigation regression without a headset.
+
+## Three-minute worn checklist
+
+1. **0:00–0:30:** Coordinate the shared lock. With an installed managed panel,
+   Decky backend and harmless sample, wear the headset and open SteamVR →
+   Frame Control. Check the panel is in front of you, both eyes agree, text is
+   legible, and the size is comfortable. Do not use a save-cleaning plugin.
+2. **0:30–1:15:** Run
+   `python3 scripts/framey-worn-check.py --via lxso2 --worn-confirmed`. Within its 35-second
+   interaction window, use the physical controller to open the sample and
+   toggle **Example setting**. Confirm the laser aims where expected and the
+   script records a fresh input/panel event and visible stereo output. The flag
+   is the operator’s statement; sensor activity and trusted pointers can also
+   be produced synthetically and cannot identify controller hardware.
+3. **1:15–2:15:** Use the controller to open Settings, return to Panel, invoke
+   **Read saved setting**, close/reopen the plugin, and confirm the value
+   remains. Try controller scroll, a slider and a harmless text field in an
+   installed compatible plugin; check SteamVR's actual keyboard and Back.
+4. **2:15–3:00:** Restore the original sample setting. Switch away and back,
+   close/reopen the Frame Control panel, and confirm controller input still
+   works. Record comfort/legibility, controller model, any haptic behavior,
+   keyboard behavior and the command's JSON separately. Confirm battery and
+   release only your lock. Do not infer these human checks from synthetic input.
+
+The watchdog's creation and cancellation are exercised on the real Frame.
+A forced host kill/network loss followed by timer recovery has not been fault
+injected. Its saved recovery script remains available on a cleanup failure.

+# Frame Control in the headset
+
+**Experimental, Frame OS 0.5.6.** Tools → Frame Control in VR installs a local
+panel in SteamVR's dashboard. It is a way to reach Frame Control while wearing
+the headset, independent of Decky's Quick Access Menu. The panel starts only
+after you opt in; its server binds to `127.0.0.1` and it uses a normal user
+service. No `sudo`, root filesystem change, or Steam client patch is needed.
+
+The companion copies its bundled UI over the existing trusted SSH connection.
+On the Frame, `frame-control-headset.service` runs a loopback server and one
+Chromium app window on gamescope. The window receives a dedicated `STEAM_GAME`
+id, so SteamVR registers `valve.steam.desktopgame.2001947813` as a dashboard
+panel. **Show in SteamVR** requests that dashboard tab; the wearer can select
+it again from SteamVR's dashboard. Closing the panel stops its browser and
+server. The service is not enabled at boot.
+
+The page shows battery, free home storage and SteamVR status.
+The **Large status screen** uses large read-only values for battery, SteamVR,
+free home storage and Frame OS, with a refresh button and clear unknown values.
+It is an at-a-glance view, not a crash diagnosis or a Decky plugin page.
+The headset must still be worn to verify that a person can see and use it.
+
+The page can request SteamVR's main Game Mode dashboard, list and force quit a running game after an
+unsaved-progress confirmation, save an OpenVR screenshot to
+`~/Pictures/FrameControl`, and record the SteamVR mirror to
+`~/Videos/FrameControl`. Recordings have a 20-minute limit and use a separate
+work folder from desktop Frame Control's recorder; they may have no audio if
+the monitor source is unavailable. Captures made in standby can be dark.
+
+The page also discovers extensions from
+`~/.local/share/frame-control/extensions` and opens them in sandboxed iframes.
+It offers the version 1 read-only `capabilities` and `status` bridge from
+[the extension guide](extensions.md). Installing an extension still means
+copying its folder to the Frame; the panel does not download third-party code.
+
+The opt-in [Framey loader](framey-loader.md) hosts compatible Decky plugin
+panels and settings in a separate sandboxed iframe on this SteamVR page. The
+existing official Decky store manager installs and removes their code. The
+frontend host is browser-tested, but wearer-visible VR use remains unverified.
+
+The panel also lists Decky plugins and can install, update, or remove compatible
+plugins from the official store when the opt-in managed loader is running.
+Each change asks for confirmation. The Frame VR shell does not show Decky's
+Steam Deck Quick Access Menu. Framey's separate panel can show compatible
+plugin pages, settings, local routes, and local toasts, but these controls
+still need a worn-headset check. The [compatibility table](decky-frame.md)
+separates backend loading from VR use. Authors can use the
+[Frame plugin and extension guide](frame-plugin-author.md).
+
+The per-run UI key is passed in the URL fragment, removed from the address bar after load,
+and sent in the `X-Frame-UI` header. The key is absent from the HTTP request
+line and server log. The usual host/origin and anti-framing checks still apply.
+
+## Real Frame test, 2026-10-25
+
+On Frame OS 0.5.6, build `20261022.6153909`, the opt-in install started the
+user service, served `/headset`, read live `/api/status` from the browser, and
+registered a mapped Chromium window with SteamVR under the dedicated overlay
+key. The server rejected a request with the wrong UI key. A read-only status
+probe reported the user service running and the overlay registered.
+
+The unworn headset was in standby (`activity_level` 3). SteamVR reported the
+new overlay as `not_visible` even after `ShowDashboard`. An OpenVR stereo
+screenshot was a uniform dark frame. The documented temporary wake attempt
+(`power.turnOffScreensTimeout` 5 → 3600, `--handlewakeup`, `ShowDashboard`)
+still left the overlay `not_visible`; the setting was restored to 5 and the
+dashboard hidden. The X window's `xwd` image was black too. These observations
+prove panel creation and page/API execution, **not wearer-visible pixels or
+laser/controller input**. A worn-headset check is still required before
+describing the panel as visually verified.
+
+The test then removed the managed service and app bundle. Its unit became
+inactive, port 47813 closed, the SteamVR overlay disappeared, and the Frame's
+battery was 100%. Steam and SteamVR were left running. The browser profile and
+extensions folder were deliberately kept.
+
+A second test on the same build installed the expanded panel with the
+`headset-glance` example extension. The headset's authenticated loopback API
+returned live status (99% battery), discovered and served the extension, and
+listed no running games. The Game Mode dashboard request succeeded; an invalid
+force-quit app ID was rejected with HTTP 400. Screenshot and recording actions
+saved a PNG and a 3.6 MB MP4 in the headset user's folders. The recording
+reported an audio source. The per-run UI key was absent from the server log.
+After another wake and dashboard request, SteamVR still reported the panel
+`not_visible`. No wearer-visible screenshot or controller interaction was
+obtained. The test removed its example extension and captured media, then
+uninstalled the service. The unit, port, bundle and overlay were absent after
+removal; Steam and SteamVR remained running.
+
+## Remove
+
+Use **Tools → Frame Control in VR → Remove**. If the companion is unavailable,
+run:
+
+```sh
+ssh frame 'systemctl --user stop frame-control-headset.service; rm -f ~/.config/systemd/user/frame-control-headset.service; systemctl --user daemon-reload; rm -rf ~/.local/share/frame-control/headset/bundle; rm -f ~/.local/share/frame-control/headset/receipt.json ~/.local/share/frame-control/headset/server.log'
+```
+
+That command removes only Frame Control's managed panel code. The Chromium
+profile remains in `~/.local/share/frame-control/headset/profile` so local
+extension data is not discarded. Inspect and delete that folder separately if
+you no longer want it. Third-party extensions are in
+`~/.local/share/frame-control/extensions` and are never removed by this tool.

+
+The fresh [read-only probe](evidence/plugins-2026-10-25.json) records SteamOS
+`0.5.6`, `VARIANT_ID=vr`, build `20261022.6153909`. It confirms CEF, architecture,
+mounts, user-service availability, and absence of a running managed or upstream
+Decky installation. This retry did not install anything or restart Steam.
+
+The replacement job's initial [test record](decky-frame.md) reports:
+
+- Decky 3.3.0 started as the normal `steamos` user and injected into
+  `SharedJSContext`.
+- Install → status → update → status → remove → status succeeded on the Frame.
+  Removal left the unit, binary and port 1337 absent, while preserving user data.
+- ProtonDB Badges 1.1.0 loaded as a passive plugin and appeared in Decky's
+  shared-context registry. Its badge or menu was not seen inside VR.
+- Injected frontend code can outlive backend removal until Steam's web helper
+  restarts. An earlier helper-restart test cleared the globals; this retry did
+  not repeat it.
+
+These are prior documented results, separate from the fresh read-only probe.
+The coordinator then ran a separate, locked
+[official-store compatibility audit](decky-frame.md#official-store-plugin-audit-2026-10-25)
+on the same Frame OS build. Seven plugins logged backend loads. A managed
+ProtonDB Badges 1.3.4 store install, update and remove also succeeded. The
+headset stayed unworn, so these results still do not establish VR UI use.
+
+## Installer and update choice
+
+The upstream [installer at e42a3c8](https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-installer/blob/e42a3c828de90673959b4de26cf5c5d2c7830554/cli/install_release.sh)
+escalates through sudo, creates `~/homebrew/plugins` and `services`, writes the
+CEF marker and a system unit under `/etc/systemd/system`, and starts Decky as
+root. Its architecture switch supports `aarch64|arm64`. Running this installer
+is unnecessary for a compatibility check and grants more access than a panel
+extension needs.
+
+Frame Control's [manager](../ui/frame_decky.py) instead downloads the official
+ARM64 asset, checks GitHub's published SHA-256 and the ELF machine, and writes
+only under `~/.local/share/frame-control/decky` and `~/.config/systemd/user`.
+It refuses an upstream system-service installation, requires active CEF before
+install/update, and restores the previous binary, receipt and unit if applying
+an update fails. Existing tests exercise that rollback with a failed service
+start. These checks do not prove every possible OS or Steam update is safe.
+
+The binary is downloaded on demand, not bundled. Plugin discovery lists the
+managed directory and upstream `~/homebrew/plugins`. The later
+[store manager](../ui/frame_decky_store.py) exposes official entries in the PC
+app and opt-in headset panel. It verifies archive digests, blocks root and
+non-ARM64 binaries, and changes only its own plugin folders. That is file and
+backend support, not a working VR plugin page. Decky plugins can execute
+backend code and are not isolated by Frame Control's HTML extension sandbox.
+
+Home-directory state is expected to survive SteamOS image updates, based on
+SteamOS's layout; **an actual OS update and reboot persistence test has not been
+performed**. Steam frontend changes, CEF availability, libc requirements and
+plugin hardware assumptions can still break Decky. On failure, remove the user
+service using [the documented removal command](decky-frame.md#opt-in-and-remove);
+its removal path does not require a working CEF target. Test the sequence again
+on each supported OS build before expanding support claims.
+
+## Other paths
+
+| Path | What it enables | Current limits and choice |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Decky plugins | Steam frontend hooks, optional Python backends | Seven official-store plugins logged backend loads on ARM64. Store install/update/remove worked for ProtonDB Badges. VR pages and controller input remain unverified. Keep experimental. |
+| [CSS Loader](https://github.com/suchmememanyskill/SDH-CssLoader) / [DeckThemes](https://docs.deckthemes.com/) | Stylesheets applied to Steam UI | CSS Loader 2.1.3 backend loaded on Frame. No theme was applied or visually tested. Deck themes do not establish compatibility with Frame's separate VR shell. |
+| User home / SteamOS homebrew | User services, user Flatpaks, files and helpers | Use owned folders and explicit uninstall. A folder named `homebrew` supplies no discovery or security boundary by itself. No rootfs changes needed for the chosen path. |
+| Android / Lepton | Sideloaded apps, game-specific content and per-app settings | Frame Control already manages APKs and ADB. Lepton runs Android containers, not Steam's CEF UI; an Android mod does not add a Steam dashboard tab. No new Android mod was tested here. See [APKs](apks.md), [VR APKs](vr-apks.md), and [game mods](mods.md). |
+| Frame Control extensions | Third-party HTML/CSS/JS panels with a small read-only bridge | Shipped in [#194](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/194), with a manifest, local folder, sandbox, example and [author guide](extensions.md). No Python imports, arbitrary SSH commands or write actions are exposed. |
+| Frame Control's headset panel | Runs the local tools and extensions as a SteamVR panel | Shipped in [#198](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/198), expanded in [#201](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/201). Page/API execution and uninstall were tested; wearer-visible pixels and controller interaction remain unverified. See [test record](headset-app.md). |
+
+The extension iframe has `sandbox="allow-scripts"`, an opaque origin, restrictive
+CSP and a `postMessage` bridge accepting only `capabilities` and a reduced
+`status` snapshot from the active frame. It is useful for local dashboards and
+small tools today. It cannot replace the full Decky API. Third-party code still
+needs review: an iframe may navigate itself externally, and local installation
+does not establish publisher trust.
+
+Extensions are loaded only when opened and are removed by closing their panel
+and deleting their own directory. They modify no SteamOS files. The
+[compatibility follow-up](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/209) adds
+manifest `apiVersion` validation during discovery and asset serving, with
+existing manifests defaulting to version 1. It rejects incompatible panels
+even when requested through a direct asset URL.
+
+## Licences: separate download versus bundling
+
+Decky's [licence](https://github.com/SteamDeckHomebrew/decky-loader/blob/00cd202872b85868071b041c8f1b34e734147195/LICENSE)
+is GPL version 2. Frame Control is MIT-licensed. The integration contains its
+own service-management code and downloads the upstream executable as a separate
+program. It does not incorporate Decky source or ship its binary in Frame
+Control installers. Keep the upstream licence/source links visible to users
+who opt in; installing a separate GPL program does not by itself relicense
+Frame Control's independent code.
+
+If a future release bundles or mirrors Decky binaries, the distributor must
+preserve copyright/licence notices and satisfy GPLv2's corresponding-source
+requirements for the exact binary, including modifications and build scripts
+as applicable. A link to an evolving default branch is not a substitute for
+meeting those distribution obligations. Mere aggregation and deriving or
+linking a combined work are different questions; reassess the boundary if
+Decky code is incorporated. Each plugin, theme and bundled dependency has its
+own licence and assets to check independently. The existing
+[third-party notices](../THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md) describe software already
+distributed with Frame Control.
+
+## Next checks
+
+1. On a worn Frame, establish an accessible Decky menu or implement an adapter
+   for the VR shell. Verify a plugin's visible result and controller navigation
+   before describing store-installed plugins as usable inside VR.
+2. Verify the Frame Control panel and example extension visually, including
+   opening, refreshing and closing with the controllers.
+3. Test a normal Steam restart, reboot and SteamOS update with a disposable
+   managed install; confirm removal still works with CEF unavailable. Retain
+   the experimental label until those checks pass.
+
+The release coordinator owns those ongoing headset-integration checks. This
+retry leaves the headset untouched and hands over the research and compatibility
+follow-up instead of running concurrent loader experiments.

+# Framey settings sample
+
+This is a small Decky API v2 plugin for authors. Its panel uses the official
+`@decky/api`, `@decky/ui`, and `@decky/rollup` packages. A toggle calls a Python
+backend method, stores one boolean under `decky.DECKY_PLUGIN_SETTINGS_DIR`,
+and reads it back when the panel opens. The backend rejects other keys and
+values. The frontend also shows a local toast with a React body after a
+successful save. The toast stays inside the Framey panel; it is not a Steam
+system notification. A
+Framey settings tab exposes the same toggle, and a read-only quick action
+fetches the saved value without changing it. These two fields are Framey
+additions; Decky's own menu still uses the main panel content. The quick
+action calls the backend, so it reads the persisted setting rather than a
+browser cache. A missing, damaged, or old non-boolean value reads as the
+caller's default;
+the next save atomically replaces the sample's settings file.
+
+The **About this setting** button opens a local detail page at
+`/framey-sample/details/saved-setting`. It demonstrates `routerHook.addRoute`,
+`Navigation.Navigate`, `useParams`, `NavigateBack`, and removal of the route in
+`onDismount`. The `:topic?` segment is optional. Framey keeps this navigation
+inside the plugin panel; it does not open a Steam library page. Put optional
+segments at the end of the path and do not use query strings. This detail page
+has not been checked with headset controllers.
+
+## Build
+
+From this directory, run:
+
+```sh
+pnpm install --frozen-lockfile
+pnpm build
+pnpm exec tsc --noEmit
+```
+
+The committed `dist/index.js` is the built frontend. For a Decky release ZIP,
+put `plugin.json`, `main.py`, and `dist/index.js` inside one top-level plugin
+folder. Publish it through the official Decky store if you want Frame Control's
+managed installer to offer it. Framey deliberately opens only plugins that the
+official store installed and marked as owned; copying this example into the
+plugin directory does not enable its VR panel.
+
+## Test and adapt
+
+Run `python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p test_framey_sample.py` from the
+repository root. It checks backend persistence and evaluates the built bundle
+against Framey's actual host script, including the quick action's scoped
+backend call and local route registration/navigation. The fake Frame store flow is exercised by
+the repository's e2e suite. No worn-headset visibility or controller-input test
+has passed for this sample yet.
+
+The plugin needs no root access or system changes. Its settings remain after
+the managed plugin folder is removed, following Decky's settings behavior.
+For a production plugin, add explicit migrations for every supported schema,
+explain how users can reset settings, and test every UI path in a worn headset.
