+# Official audio plugins: local real-backend checks
+
+Volume Mixer 1.2.1-1 (38), Volume Boost 0.0.7 (58) and Mixer 0.1.0 (144)
+passed useful audio controls in local Chromium with their **unmodified official
+Python backends running in actual Decky 3.3.0**. All three remain **partial**:
+this run used amd64 Linux, and Frame ARM64 dependencies/audio-session mapping
+are unverified. The shared headset lock was occupied; no headset reads or
+changes occurred. No worn-VR result is claimed.
+
+The private test container and browser relay were removed after verification.
+
+The [machine-readable observations](framey-audio-backends-2026-10-26.json)
+pin all three official archives and the published Decky binary digest, and
+record each browser-triggered write with independent `pactl` channel readbacks.
+
+| Plugin | Useful behavior checked | Still unverified on Frame |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Volume Mixer | Discover two playback streams; slider click and ArrowDown change only the selected stream, 100 → 50 → 45%; other stream remains 100% | ARM64 libpulse/libdbus, actual user audio session, Bluetooth playback controls |
+| Volume Boost | Both-channel slider; separate right-channel change preserves left; reopen restores sync preference and actual values; exact numeric left entry; syncing disables both right controls | `pactl`, default sink, hard-coded runtime UID, physical output, boost above 100% |
+| Mixer | Exact stream volume 37 → 38%, independently read back; invalid 101 and off-step 37.5 produce no write; playback filter saved, survives actual Decky restart, hides the intended stream on reopen | `pw-dump`/`wpctl`, actual Frame session, physical output, worn VR |
+
+## Reproduced host gap
+
+Both Volume Boost and Mixer request `SliderField.editableValue`. Framey
+previously ignored that prop and rendered only a range slider. It now supplies
+an accessible numeric input with the same minimum, maximum, step and disabled
+state, and emits numeric `onChange` values. Empty, non-finite, out-of-range and
+browser-invalid drafts do not reach a backend. No official archive was patched.
+This also makes the control available to other plugins requesting that prop;
+it does not establish their compatibility.
+
+## Runtime and isolation
+
+The disposable Debian 13 container ran PipeWire 1.4.2, WirePlumber 0.5.8 and
+PulseAudio client tools 17.0. Docker used `--network none --cap-drop ALL
+--security-opt no-new-privileges`, no host audio sockets and no sound devices.
+Only the archive cache and test inputs were mounted, read-only. Debian 12 was
+insufficient for the published Decky binary's GLIBC requirement; that initial
+runtime did not start.

+
+XDG config/data/state and both Decky paths were below the private test base.
+Decky ran unprivileged with `CHOWN_PLUGIN_PATH=0`, `LIVE_RELOAD=0`,
+`USE_CEF_CLOSE_WORKAROUND=0` and `KEEP_SYSTEMD_SERVICE=1`. A private D-Bus
+session satisfied Volume Mixer's import; there was no real BlueZ service.
+Its fixed `/tmp/VolumeMixer-decky.log` existed only inside the container.
+
+The JSON includes the complete PipeWire server configuration: only a dummy
+driver and null stereo sink, no hardware factories. A second PipeWire process
+loaded protocol-native, client-node, adapter, metadata and protocol-pulse with
+the private absolute socket. `wireplumber --profile policy` managed this server;
+that installed profile contains no hardware monitors. Only private default-sink
+metadata was selected. Two `paplay --raw --format=s16le --rate=48000 --channels=2
+/dev/zero` clients supplied silence named `FrameySilent0` and `FrameySilent1`.
+Without policy, successful volume RPCs initially left readbacks unchanged; those
+fixture attempts are excluded from the passing observations.
+
+The browser relay served actual `ui/headset.html`, vendored React 18.3.1,
+`ui/framey-host.js` and the exact archived frontends in an opaque `allow-scripts`
+iframe. Outer headset/installed-plugin responses were fixture-shaped. Backend
+RPC used the official Decky websocket protocol inside the isolated container:
+`loader/call_legacy_plugin_method` with keyword objects for 38/58 and
+`loader/call_plugin_method` with positional arguments for 144. This bypassed
+Steam CEF and the production SSH/CDP transport; neither is an audio verification
+claim from this run.
+
+The relay allowed discovery/settings reads, bounded volume writes only to
+identified `FrameySilent` streams/the private default sink, and Mixer filters
+`[]` or `["FrameySilent0"]` with boost limit 0. It denied Bluetooth commands,
+`reset_volumes` and boosts. Every volume write was followed by a separate
+`pactl -f json list sinks` / `list sink-inputs` read. A clean Decky shutdown and
+restart retained Mixer's actual settings file and filter behavior.
+
+Earlier full-catalog fake-Frame evidence for these exact digests covers
+install/receipt/frontend/removal transport, with plugin execution stubbed.
+The new evidence adds actual local backend execution; it does not turn that
+older fake-Frame result into an ARM64 backend test.
+
+## Regression checks
+
+The required server suite passed 1,612 tests (16 skips); all 38 focused Framey
+tests and both website tests passed. The 116-plugin browser audit retained
+98 initializer-ready / 18 failed, with no change to any ready state. That audit
+keeps backend/network actions denied. A fresh official catalog fetch confirmed
+all 116 IDs, versions and digests unchanged.
+
+## Next device check
+
+Acquire the normal atomic `/tmp/frame-test.lock`; refuse an existing owner.
+First inspect available tools/libraries and audio runtime UID. If supported,
+repeat with a private ARM64 Decky user service, isolated audio socket, dummy
+sink/streams and hardware discovery disabled. Check Volume Mixer's fixed log
+path for collisions before loading it. Never attach the fixture to the normal
+headset output/default server. Remove only test-owned services/processes/files,
+read back original service/battery state and release only the matching lock.
+Keep all three partial until that check passes; physical output, Bluetooth and
+worn-VR controls need separate evidence.

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

+# Framey unworn exercise with standby gate
+
+At 2026-10-26 01:52 UTC, this PR's `scripts/framey-vr-check.py --exercise`
+acquired the shared lock on a real Frame running the `c62bffc8` main bundle.
+The new read-only preflight found SteamVR activity 3 (standby), proximity raw
+6.3125 and battery 99% before allowing temporary installation or power changes.
+The lock owner was unique to this run.
+
+The documented unworn exercise passed: the Frame Control overlay was visible,
+stereo compositor pixels changed, `/dev/video99` was captured, a synthetic
+trusted OpenVR pointer reached the sample, a live Decky setting was saved and
+persisted after a fresh panel reopen, and the quick action, slider and text
+field produced their expected values. Native scroll did not move. The test
+retagged only its temporary panel window once to recover focus. Public numeric
+results are in [framey-vr-standby-gate-2026-10-26.json](framey-vr-standby-gate-2026-10-26.json).
+Room-containing stereo and mirror captures remain private in `/tmp`.
+
+Cleanup returned battery 99%, `power.pauseCompositorOnStandby=false` and
+`power.turnOffScreensTimeout=5.000000`, matching the preflight. The temporary
+power recovery unit was removed, no cleanup errors were reported, and only
+this run's lock was released. Local tests also checked that activity 1, 2 or
+unknown refuses both `--wake` and `--exercise` before any installation or
+power change.
+
+Synthetic pointer events and captures do not prove physical controller use,
+wearer-visible readability, optical comfort or VR keyboard behavior. Those
+remain unverified.
+
+## Combined v0.4.39 candidate reruns
+
+After #278 and #279 joined main, the combined `bc72c41` branch ran the same
+locked exercise three times. The first two runs (02:01 and 02:02 UTC) loaded
+the sample UI in Chromium, but SteamVR kept its overlay hidden even after the
+existing test-window focus retry. Synthetic input reached no panel control;
+both runs failed. The third run (02:05 UTC) showed the overlay without that
+retry and passed the sample setting, input, stereo and mirror checks. Every run
+restored the original power settings, removed its recovery timer and released
+its own lock with no cleanup errors. The [numeric summary](framey-vr-standby-gate-2026-10-26.json)
+records all three outcomes.
+
+The intermittent hidden-overlay condition remains a reliability limit. The
+runner now records a small read-only diagnostic and refuses to send synthetic
+input if the overlay stays hidden after its focus retry. A successful Chromium
+panel alone is not treated as VR visibility.
+
+At 02:07 UTC, a fourth combined-head run with a bounded overlay wait passed
+without a focus retry. The sample setting/input and stereo checks passed; power
+settings were restored, the recovery timer was removed, and the owned lock was
+released. This single pass does not prove that the wait eliminates intermittent
+hidden overlays. Battery changed from 100% to 99% during the run.

+# 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.
