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

-# v0.4.42 candidate gate, 26 October 2026
-
-This branch bumps the app and lockfile to 0.4.42. It includes the [v0.4.41 release evidence](v0441-release-2026-10-26.md), the Framey panel lifecycle change in PR #299, the truthful optional-runtime smoke result in PR #300, the physical Intel Mac acceptance and host-test fixes in PR #303 (`fe1da43171883dc31161ff607c6b5a6ddf75f6ef`), and the receipt-bound API guard in PR #301 (`ad57662d40d3bbf6c850dd80ddc275280d389c86`). All 11 hosted checks passed on PR #301's exact head before its normal merge. The combined release candidate's own headset gates passed; exact-head CI and installer previews remain pending.
-
-The exact v0.4.42 candidate at `27af46dd20d7af30dde4c3f954d7b57b94843594` ran `scripts/frame-smoke.sh` under its unique shared lock at 05:40 UTC. Locked preflight found standby activity 3, proximity 6.25 and battery 99%. It recorded **12 passed / 1 skipped / 0 failed** on Frame OS 0.5.6 build `20261022.6153909`; ARM64 and Proton test executables launched. The x86_64 launch was skipped because Steam Linux Runtime 4 was not installed. Cleanup passed and the command exited 0. The private detailed result is `tests/smoke/results/2026-10-26T054014Z-20261022.6153909.json` in the candidate checkout. The prior PR #300 result is documented [separately](frame-smoke-runtime-skip-2026-10-26.md).
-
-The exact candidate then ran `scripts/framey-vr-check.py --exercise` under a fresh owned lock at 05:41 UTC. Preflight again found activity 3 and battery 99%. The real Decky sample setting saved `enabled=true` and survived a fresh iframe; the quick action read the same value. A trusted synthetic OpenVR pointer reached the panel; the sample slider reached 50 and CDP text entry after OpenVR focus reached `framey-ci`. Stereo compositor hashes changed from `38265343e13f5915869c9622ab1ceda7c31ab2e9b050f44564cfb9b6dc9f6e6d` to `64cc4c6f865bb8b2f756632c922d17dee12af40d480171586f2e9a51797b83e6`; the mirror capture hash was `165289dca9ad2bd895eb544f5be5d5fa2db7d2f635a927ac68a0c74267f69ee2`. The exercise exited 0 with `passed=true`, battery 99% afterward, original power values restored (`false` / `5.000000`), recovery timer removed, no cleanup errors and its own lock released. Its private full result is `/tmp/framey-v0442-exercise/result.json` on the test host. Synthetic scroll events left `scrollTop=0` and produced no wheel events. No person wore the Frame; physical controller interaction, official plugin VR panels, optical readability, VR keyboard and comfort remain unverified. The earlier [receipt-guard exercise](framey-receipt-live-2026-10-26.md) is separate evidence.
-
-The release tag and published installers do not exist at this candidate stage. Publication remains gated on this combined head's exact-head CI, then tagged installer checksums, package checks and public updater readback. The 116 exact-version Decky catalog remains **3 works / 48 partial / 54 broken / 11 N/A**; the two additional works claims are restricted to tested per-app silent-stream volume control. The official v0.4.39 Intel installer ran on a physical MacBook Air, but no tagged v0.4.42 Mac launch or real OBS audio/video check is claimed.

+Panels referencing running-game APIs now receive a detached, read-only
+`SteamUIStore.RunningApps` / `MainRunningApp` snapshot, also exposed through
+`DFL.Router`. The authenticated headset-only `/api/framey/running` endpoint
+checks installed store ownership; the parent checks the active panel session.
+Poll and close requests also carry the panel's pinned SHA-256 receipt. A missing
+or changed installed receipt is rejected before any Steam CEF request; a rejected
+stale close relies on the existing finite subscription lease for cleanup.
+Fixed bundled code runs in Steam CEF. It copies at most 64 running app overviews, a main app and
+public Steam CDN capsule URLs; it never copies local artwork paths, launch
+commands or Steam objects. The host refreshes about every two seconds without
+overlapping requests. Failure clears stale context and sets
+`SteamUIStore.FrameyRunningAvailable` to false.
+
+`GameSessions.RegisterForAppLifetimeNotifications` relays actual Steam
+`{unAppID, bRunning}` callbacks through a bounded 64-event queue. Snapshot
+changes never fabricate launch/exit callbacks. Handles support `.unregister()`;
+panel close/replacement removes the CEF subscription, with a 15-second lease
+(checked every five seconds) if cleanup cannot reach Steam. At most four panel
+sessions are retained. These are open-panel observations, not closed-panel
+automation or a MobX implementation. Queue overflow can lose old callbacks.
+`appStore` capsule helpers expose only projected public URLs for running apps;
+unavailable or local custom artwork returns an empty value.
