+# Import an Android game backup
+
+A SideQuest backup can contain a small APK and much larger `main.…obb` and
+`patch.…obb` files. All of them belong to the same game. Installing only the APK
+can leave the game unable to start because its assets are missing.
+
+In **Add / Install → Import Android game** (or **Apps → Browse → Import Android game**), choose the APK and its OBB files together.
+You can also drop them anywhere in the window. In the desktop app, dropping the
+APK alone finds matching OBB files beside it; dropping a folder containing the
+APK and OBBs also works. Browsers can read only the files you explicitly choose.
+
+The import screen shows the game app and its game-data files together. **Import
+game & data** installs the APK, starts its own Steam library instance, waits for
+Android and the installed package, copies the OBBs, and closes the game. Open it
+again from the Steam library to play. The screen explains this before import;
+choosing files alone never starts a game.
+
+Files are matched using the package inside the APK and the standard
+`main|patch.<version>.<package>.obb` name, not the APK's filename. Both main and
+patch files are preserved. OBB version numbers need not equal the APK's current
+version code: updates can reuse older expansion files. The copy uses the existing
+SHA-256 transfer check inside Android and writes to that game's own
+`/sdcard/Android/obb/<package>` folder.
+
+If no data files are selected, the screen reminds you to include any OBBs in the
+backup before offering **Install game app**. An APK cannot reliably tell Frame
+Control whether separate expansion files are required. Game-data files are never
+silently sent to Downloads by this flow.
+
+If setup fails, the import screen keeps the error and retry instructions visible.
+The APK may already be installed, but the game is not reported ready. Import the
+same backup again, or choose just its OBB files to add data to an existing install.
+The importer checks the installed package and version before writing data and
+closes the instance after a failed copy. Unrelated or duplicate files, running
+games that would be replaced, and downgrades are rejected. Uploaded staging files
+are discarded after use or cancellation; abandoned imports expire after an hour
+when the importer is next used, and dead-server staging folders are swept at
+startup.
+
+This flow handles one ordinary APK and standard OBB files for one game at a time.
+Split APKs, XAPK/APKS archives, nested Android/data folders and private save
+archives need their own import handling. PC ZIP/folder/EXE imports keep their
+existing route. Quest USB and Meta library imports keep their existing workflow.
+
+Validation covers actual APK parsing, the three-file backup layout, package
+matching, sibling discovery, browser upload staging and cleanup, instance/version
+guards and failure recovery with mocked headset operations. Browser verification
+uses the real page and upload/inspection endpoints with simulated installation.
+**Verified 2026-10-20 on a real Steam Frame**, BUILD_ID `20260925.6191901`:
+F-Droid Basic 2.0.2 with two synthetic main/patch OBBs completed the automatic

+shortcut and instance were removed afterward, the shared device lock was
+released, and the battery remained at 99%. See [device evidence](evidence/android-import/device.json).
+The headset was unworn; this checks transfer and persistence, not rendering,
+Resident Evil 4 gameplay, or a game that exits before data can be copied. This
+flow does not change APK compatibility or remove licence checks.

+## Store and Library in Frame Control
+
+The Android tab has two views. **Store** finds apps across the sources (F-Droid,
+IzzyOnDroid, curated GitHub releases, itch.io). **Library** shows the apps on the
+Frame as cards, with Play and a menu for Test, Report and Remove; the display
+settings and recent reports are below it.
+
+The store groups apps by what a headset is good for, not by F-Droid's list:
+VR, Games, Emulators, Watch & listen, Read & learn, Create, Work, Web & chat
+and Tools (`ui/apk_sources/_categories.py`). A VR app is always in VR. Otherwise
+F-Droid's own categories decide, the finer one first (an app in *Multimedia* and
+*Social Network* is Web & chat).
+
+Apps built around a phone are hidden from browsing unless **Show phone-only
+apps** is on; a search always finds them, labelled *Phone app*. Hidden: apps in
+a category that only makes sense in a phone's own system (launchers, keyboards,
+wallpapers, Xposed modules), apps in a phone-side category (calls and SMS, VPNs,
+fitness, alarms, system tools) unless a useful category says otherwise
+(FluffyChat is in Phone & SMS, but it's a messenger), apps named for a phone
+part (a widget, a launcher, a battery tool), and apps that need hardware the
+Frame lacks (an IR blaster, a watch, NFC, root). They would install and run in
+Lepton, but do nothing useful on the Frame. In the October 2026 indexes that is
+about 1,600 of F-Droid's 4,500 apps and 550 of IzzyOnDroid's 1,300.
+
+Without a search, each source offers its best 300 for the chosen category:
+apps with a banner first, then with screenshots, then the newest.
+
+## The store in the headset: Frame Control's store as a panel (inferred, not yet run on the Frame)
+
+The **APK Store** panel is the Store above, drawn for the laser: the same
+sources, categories and artwork, with Install, Open, Stop and Remove, opened as
+its own floating panel:
+
+```sh
+scripts/store-on-frame.sh open     # copy the server over if it changed, start it, open the panel
+scripts/store-on-frame.sh close
+```
+
+`open` copies the same bundle the iPhone app uses
+(`ios/scripts/make_frame_bundle.py`) to
+`~/.local/share/frame-control/store-server/<version>` on the Frame. It then
+starts `ui/server.py` there with `FRAME_LOCAL=1` on `127.0.0.1:47812`, with a
+fresh `X-Frame-UI` key. Chromium XR (or the `org.chromium.Chromium` Flatpak)
+opens `/store` (`ui/store.html`) in a 1280×800 app window, tagged as panel
+`2001947812` ([panels.md](panels.md)). Downloads, SHA-256 checks and installs
+all run on the Frame, so the Mac can go away after `open`.
+
+The page has a category rail (Home, the store's categories, Installed), eight
+art cards a page, and a featured VR app on Home. It turns pages instead of
+scrolling, because a tagged panel gets mouse clicks and a drag would select
+text; the thumbstick (a mouse wheel) turns pages, and an on-screen keyboard is
+there for search. **Checked on the Mac only** (2026-10-14, 1280×800, against
+the real sources): Home, categories, Installed, the detail sheet. **Still to
+check in the headset:** that the panel opens and takes laser clicks, that an
+install completes when run on the Frame, and that **Open** brings up the app's
+panel.

+Steam Frame to your computer, puts it back afterwards, and gets the headset out
+of Desktop Mode. It runs from Frame Control on a computer, not from the iPhone
+app or the Frame itself.
+
+**Partly tested on a headset.** On a Frame running SteamOS 0.5.6 (build
+20261015.6141207), a full backup saved 26 parts (40.7 MB): 14 games' Proton
+saves, Linux game saves, Steam and desktop settings and 9 Android apps' data,
+with no sign-in files or keys in the archives. Restoring one game's saves on top
+of identical files wrote nothing and left nothing behind. The session check
+reported Game Mode, so **Return to Game Mode** changed nothing. Not tested on a
+headset: a restore after a real factory reset, a restore that replaces files,
+Android data restore, and the switch out of a real Desktop Mode session. Unit
+tests and the fake Frame cover those (see [Verification](#verification)).
+
+## Back up
+
+Choose **Game saves**, **Steam and desktop settings** and **Android app data**
+(all three by default), then **Back up now**. **See what's included** lists each
+part and its size first. Backing up only reads the headset.
+
+Each backup is a folder named after the time it started:
+
+```
+~/Documents/Frame Control Backups/2026-10-23-142530/
+  manifest.json
+  saves/saves-1234.tar.gz          one per game
+  saves/saves-linux.tar.gz
+  settings/settings-steam.tar.gz
+  settings/settings-system.tar.gz
+  android/org.example.game.tar.gz  one per Android app
+```
+
+`manifest.json` records the headset's name, SteamOS version and BUILD_ID, every
+file with its size and SHA-256, and each archive's SHA-256. It also lists what
+was skipped and why. A backup is written under a hidden `.…partial` name and
+renamed when complete, so a cut-off backup never shows up as one.
+
+### What's saved
+
+| Part | From the headset (`~` is `/home/steamos`) | Restored? |
+|---|---|---|
+| Windows game saves | `~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/<appid>/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/` → `AppData/Roaming`, `AppData/Local`, `AppData/LocalLow`, `Documents`, `Saved Games`. Wine's own folders in them (`Temp`, `Microsoft`, `D3DSCache`, `CrashDumps`) are left out. Sideloaded Windows games (non-Steam shortcuts) have prefixes here too | Yes |
+| Linux game saves | `~/.config/unity3d`, `~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata`: where Unity and Godot games save by default | Yes |
+| Steam controller layouts | `userdata/<account>/241100/remote/controller_config`, `steamapps/common/Steam Controller Configs/<account>/config` | Yes |
+| Steam library settings | `userdata/<account>/config/localconfig.vdf`, `shortcuts.vdf`, `grid/` (custom artwork) | Kept for reference |
+| Desktop settings | `~/.config/kdeglobals`, `kwinrc`, `kxkbrc` (keyboard layout), `konsolerc`, `dolphinrc` | Yes |
+| SteamVR settings | `~/.config/openvr/config/steamvr.vrsettings` | Kept for reference |
+| Android app data | Each Frame Control Android app's private data, through the existing `backup-data` helper ([sidequest.md](sidequest.md#private-app-data-backups)) | Yes |
+
+"Kept for reference" files are in the backup but not put back automatically:
+Steam and SteamVR rewrite them while they run, and an old `shortcuts.vdf` would
+point at apps that aren't installed after a reset. Open the backup folder to
+copy one by hand if you need it.
+
+### What's never copied
+
+- **Steam sign-in:** `steam.token`, `config/config.vdf`, `loginusers.vdf`,
+  `registry.vdf` and `ssfn*` files.
+- **Keys and passwords:** `~/.ssh`, `~/.gnupg`, keyrings and KWallet, any
+  `*.token`, `*.key` or `*.pem` file, Tailscale state and proxy settings
+  (`secrets.env`). These are refused by name wherever they turn up, including
+  inside a game's folder, and a restore refuses them too.
+- Games, Proton and the Steam runtimes: reinstall them from Steam.
+- Steam Cloud's own folders (`userdata/<account>/<appid>`), shader caches and
+  screenshots (**Tools → Capture & Live** saves those to Pictures).
+- Android apps themselves, their OBB files and shared storage (`/sdcard`).
+- Symbolic links (never followed), and single files over 2 GiB.
+
+Backups aren't encrypted. Game folders can still hold a launcher's login, and
+Android app data can hold an app's, so keep backups private.
+
+Android apps that are open are skipped (the helper needs the app closed); close
+them and back up again.
+
+## Restore after a factory reset
+
+1. Set up the headset again: Developer Mode, **Set Up Connection**, sign in to
+   Steam with the same account.
+2. Reinstall your games, and **start each once** so Proton creates its folders.
+3. Reinstall your Android apps from Frame Control.
+4. **Tools → Backup & recovery → Restore…** on a backup. Frame Control checks
+   each part against the headset and says what it would do: how many files it
+   replaces and how many are new.
+5. Tick the parts to restore and **Restore selected**. It asks before replacing
+   anything.
+
+Parts that can't go back yet are skipped, not failed, with the reason:
+
+| Reason | What to do |
+|---|---|
+| Install the game first | Install it from Steam, then restore |
+| Start the game once | Proton hasn't made its folders yet; start the game, quit, restore |
+| Sign in to Steam first | Controller layouts go under your account's folder |
+| Install the app first / close the app first | Android app data needs the app installed and closed |
+| The backup file doesn't match its checksum | The archive changed since it was made |
+
+A restore writes only the files in the parts you chose, and only inside that
+part's folders: it never deletes a file, and a save archive can't write outside
+its game. Before replacing a file it copies the current one to
+`~/.local/share/frame-control/restore-previous/<time>/` on the headset. Files
+already identical are left alone. Android app data goes through the existing
+`restore-data` helper, which keeps the previous data folder beside it.
+
+## Stuck in Desktop Mode
+
+On the Frame, Game Mode is gamescope running Steam, and the Linux desktop
+normally runs *inside* it as one panel (`steamos-nested-desktop`, see
+[how-the-frame-works.md](how-the-frame-works.md#the-layer-cake)). If that panel
+is what you see, you're already in Game Mode: close it from the Steam dashboard.
+
+Full Desktop Mode is a different session. SteamOS picks the session through
+SDDM's autologin file, `/etc/sddm.conf.d/zz-steamos-autologin.conf` (or the
+default `/etc/sddm.conf.d/steamos.conf`), and switches with
+`steamos-session-select` (`holo-session-select` on newer images). This is what
+Valve's own devkit tools on the Frame read and run
+([`steamos-get-status`](../frame/devkit-utils/steamos-get-status),
+[`steamos-delete`](../frame/devkit-utils/steamos-delete)).
+
+**Check** reads that file and whether gamescope and Plasma are running; it
+changes nothing. On the Frame gamescope's process is `gamescope-wl`, started by
+`start-gamescope-session`, and either counts as Game Mode. Only when Plasma is
+running without gamescope (Desktop Mode) does **Return to Game Mode** run
+exactly `steamos-session-select gamescope` (or `holo-session-select
+gamescope`) over SSH, after asking. It closes the desktop and anything open in
+it. Frame Control never edits the SDDM files itself, and runs nothing when the
+headset is in Game Mode, when it can't tell which mode it's in, or when the
+image has neither command.
+
+**Uncertain:** whether the Frame offers a full Desktop Mode session at all
+(only the nested desktop has been seen on BUILD_ID 20260922.6101926 and
+20260925.6191901), and whether `steamos-session-select` there works without
+the Developer Mode password. If the switch is refused, Frame Control says so and
+leaves the headset as it was.
+
+### Manual fallback
+
+If the button can't help, or the headset isn't reachable:
+
+1. **Restart it:** hold Power about 10 seconds until the light goes off, then
+   power on. On the Steam Deck, **Switch to Desktop** starts a one-shot
+   Desktop Mode session, so a restart brings Game Mode back. That the Frame
+   behaves the same is **inferred**, not tested.
+2. **Over SSH** (Developer Mode on), run Valve's switch yourself:
+   `ssh frame steamos-session-select gamescope`.
+3. **Boot menu:** hold Power 10 seconds, then power on while holding the AUX
+   button on top of Power. Choose `Current`, or `Previous` to start the other
+   SteamOS slot; both keep your data. Details and the further options
+   (`Repair Steam Installation`, `Erase User Data`, a full re-image) are in
+   [how-the-frame-works.md](how-the-frame-works.md#facts-worth-knowing) and
+   [recovery-and-images.md](recovery-and-images.md). Back up first if you can:
+   `Erase User Data` is a factory reset.
+
+## Verification
+
+`tests/test_backup.py` runs the headset-side script (`ui/frame_backup_remote.py`)
+for real against a folder laid out like the Frame's home, with only SSH faked:
+which paths are picked, that sign-in files and keys never are (also inside game
+folders), links never followed, the manifest and its checksums, restore checks
+after a reset (game not installed, no Proton folders yet, not signed in), that a
+restore replaces only its own files and keeps the old ones, unsafe archives
+(`..`, absolute paths, links, other games' folders) writing nothing, backup
+names that try to leave the backups folder, and the exact Game Mode command.
+`tests/e2e/test_recovery_kit.py` backs up a Proton save from the fake Frame through
+the server, deletes it and restores it. Neither involves a real headset.

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

+# UEVR from Frame Control, 2026-09-29
+
+**Verified observations**, with limits below. Same device and software as
+[2026-09-28](mods-2026-09-28.md): aarch64, SteamOS `0.4.1`, BUILD_ID
+`20260925.6191901`, Proton `11.0-2c` ARM64, SteamVR `2.18.1`. Times are the
+Frame's AEST clock. Headset tests ran under the shared
+`/tmp/frame-test.lock`, taken 11:13–11:28, 11:33–11:49, 12:02–12:40,
+12:44–12:52 and 13:01–13:03. Battery 45 % →
+93 %, on charge throughout.
+
+**Not observed:** the VR image, head tracking and controller input. SteamVR
+reported `activity_level` 3 (user interaction timeout; the headset was not
+being worn) with `average_target_fps` 1. Every `frame_vrshot.py` stereo
+capture was a uniform dark frame. Frame submits prove the app is presenting
+to SteamVR, not that the image is correct.
+
+## Manual injection (11:13–11:28)
+
+Game launched with `steam steam://rungameid/1067310`. `UEVRInjector.exe` was
+started with the game process's Wine variables, and its WPF window drew
+through DXVK's D3D9. It listed `Drop-Win64-Shipping (pid: 320) (SkyArk
+(64-bit, PCD3D_SM5))`, a Wine-side process id.
+
+- `--attach=Drop-Win64-Shipping` didn't inject. The button still read
+  **Inject**, and the saved `OpenVRRadio=True` in `AppData/Local/praydog/…/user.config`
+  was not restored on the next start.
+- XTest clicks landed on the game: `XQueryPointer` reported child
+  `0x2000001` (the game) at the injector's coordinates, and
+  `XLowerWindow`/`XRaiseWindow`/`XSetInputFocus` didn't change that.
+- `XSendEvent` button events to the injector window worked. After OpenVR and
+  Inject, `/proc/<game>/maps` contained
+  `drive_c/frame26/uevr/UEVRBackend.dll` and `openvr_api.dll`, next to
+  Proton's `vrclient_x64.dll`. UEVR's log:
+
+```text

+It also logged repeated `Failed to initialize Framework on DirectX 12` (probing

+r.EnableStereoEmulation cvar` and `Failed to find FSceneView constructor`.
+SteamVR loaded UEVR's action manifest and `bindings_oculus_touch.json` for
+`steam.app.1067310`. `vrcmd --stats` then showed `"key" :
+"steam.app.1067310"` with `frame_submits` 4439, then 5506 a few seconds later.
+
+A second session's injector exited within about 20 seconds. The third,
+started fresh, injected again (`frame_submits` 1412). After the game was
+stopped, a plain launch had no UEVR modules and no SteamVR scene app. All test
+files were removed.

Web VR180 players (DL8/DeoVR embeds) still play video inline as a flat, pannable view, and their VR button opens a tab on immersiveweb.dev. Forcing it doesn't help. `--enable-features=OpenXR,WebXR --force-webxr-runtime=openxr`, with `/opt/steamvr` and `XR_RUNTIME_JSON` exposed to the Flatpak, still returns `false`. The aarch64 Linux binary has no OpenXR code at all (no `XR_RUNTIME_JSON`, `xrGetInstanceProcAddr` or loader strings), even though `chrome://flags` lists `#webxr-runtime` → OpenXR. **Why (verified against source 2026-09-25):** M154 is the first release that compiles OpenXR on Linux (`enable_openxr` includes `is_linux`, `checkout_openxr` is true in Flathub's tarball, and Flathub's GN args don't turn it off). But `content/services/isolated_xr_device/xr_runtime_provider.cc` only creates an OpenXR device under `ENABLE_OPENXR && IS_WIN`, on 154, 155 and `main`. Nothing on Linux calls the OpenXR code, so the linker drops it. The missing pieces are two unmerged Gerrit CLs (bug 506004811): [8132979](https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/8132979) wires the provider on Linux (with `kOpenXR` still off by default, so it needs `--enable-features=OpenXR`), and [8441736](https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/8441736) runs the XR service in a sandbox that allows SteamVR's sockets. The Frame does have an aarch64 runtime: `~/.config/openxr/1/active_runtime.json` → SteamVR `bin/linuxarm64/vrclient.so`. To watch in 3D, use a native player, or a Chromium built with those two CLs ([webxr-chromium.md](webxr-chromium.md)). That build (156.0.8071.0, arm64) reports `immersive-vr` as supported and starts a session that SteamVR takes as its scene app. With the headset on, the WebXR samples scene and three.js's stereo 360 video demo showed in 3D (verified 2026-09-26, seccomp sandbox off).

+## UEVR from Frame Control
+
+![The VR mod dialog while UEVR runs in Gravitas](img/uevr-dialog.png)
+
+**Get games → an installed game → VR mod.** The dialog says whether the game
+can take UEVR, then offers **Install UEVR**, **▶ Play in VR** and **Remove
+UEVR**. The server route is `POST /api/mods {"action": "status" | "install" |
+"start" | "uninstall", "appid": …}`, and the work happens on the Frame in
+[`ui/frame_mods.py`](../ui/frame_mods.py). It uses only the standard library,
+like `frame_steam.py`.
+
+- **Which games.** Unreal Engine games, recognised by their
+  `…/Binaries/Win64/*-Win64-Shipping.exe` (inferred as the general rule; checked
+  with Gravitas, and HL2 VR is correctly refused). The game needs a Proton
+  prefix, so it must have been played once.
+- **Install.** Downloads praydog's [UEVR 1.05 release](https://github.com/praydog/UEVR/releases/tag/1.05)
+  and python.org's [Windows x64 embeddable Python 3.14.7](https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-3147/).
+  Each is checked against a pinned SHA-256; Python's comes from python.org's
+  release-file API. Archives are unpacked into a staging folder, rejecting
+  entries that escape it, symlinks and oversized contents, then moved into
+  `<prefix>/drive_c/frame-control/` (about 47 MB). Nothing goes into the
+  game's own folder. A receipt in `~/.local/share/frame-control/mods/` lists
+  what to remove, including UEVR's own settings folders only if they didn't
+  exist before. Install and remove refuse while the game is running, and only
+  one mod action runs at a time.
+- **Play in VR.** Launches the game through Steam if it isn't running and
+  waits for its window. It then runs a short script under that Python, with
+  the game's Proton, prefix and Wine settings read from the game process, so
+  both share one Wine session. The script repeats what UEVR's own injector does
+  when you press Inject with OpenVR chosen: load `UEVRPluginNullifier.dll` and
+  call its `nullify`, load `openvr_api.dll`, set `Frontend_RequestedRuntime` in
+  UEVR's per-game `config.txt`, then load `UEVRBackend.dll`. Each load is a
+  `LoadLibraryW` remote thread, as in the frontend's `Injector.cs`. `start`
+  then checks that `UEVRBackend.dll` is mapped into the game and reads
+  SteamVR's frame count for the app (`vrcmd --stats`).
+- **Remove.** Deletes what the receipt lists, then the download cache once
+  no game uses it. Verified: the prefix's file listing matched its
+  pre-install state afterwards.
+
+Why not UEVR's own injector (verified 2026-09-29):
+
+- It's a .NET 6 WPF app, so it needs Microsoft's .NET runtimes (about 70 MB
+  of downloads) in the prefix.
+- Under gamescope, the full-screen game keeps the pointer and focus. XTest
+  clicks, raising or refocusing the injector window don't change that, so in
+  the headset you can't click it. Sending X `ButtonPress`/`ButtonRelease`
+  events straight to its window does work.
+- `--attach=<process>` didn't inject under Wine, and it didn't restore its
+  saved OpenVR choice.
+- Driven that way, it injected in 6 of 8 cold starts. In a bad session every
+  new injector ignored input or never showed its window, even after
+  relaunching. Its process list reads each process's main window title, a
+  cross-process window message; a window that isn't answering would block its
+  UI thread (inferred from the frontend's source, not proven). Without a
+  `HOME` it also died in .NET at startup.
+- Frame Control's own script injected in 12 of 12 cold starts through the API, in 33–35 s, and again from the UI.
+- UEVR's DirectX 12 probing logs errors before it settles on DirectX 11 for
+  Gravitas, and some of its Unreal engine scans fail on this older UE4 game.
+  Neither stopped the injection.

+becomes its own SteamVR panel in the Frame. Place it with the dashboard's Float

+thumbstick, and type on the PC's keyboard.
+
+**It's experimental and not yet tried on a real Windows desktop or with a
+headset.** It builds and passes its protocol tests on Windows in CI, but desktop
+capture, Media Foundation encoding and laser input have never run on a real
+PC. Expect it not to work yet. Reports are welcome through the
+[feedback form](https://frame-control.pages.dev/feedback/).
+
+## Turning it on
+
+It's off by default. Until you tick **Turn on PC in the headset** on the card,
+Frame Control starts no helper, loads none of the streaming libraries and lists
+no windows. The choice is remembered on this computer. Turning it off ends
+every stream, closes the viewers in the headset and stops the helper.
+
+The card and its Tools link only appear in the Windows app. On macOS the card
+is Mac in the headset, as before; on Linux and the iPhone app there's no card.
+
+## How it works
+
+The ported pieces are from [PR #38](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/38).
+Frame Control owns the host helper, input, authentication, streaming protocol,
+panel launcher and adaptation. It doesn't need Sunshine, OBS or any other
+streaming app. GStreamer is bundled as ordinary libraries.
+
+| | Windows |
+|---|---|
+| Capture | Windows.Graphics.Capture, through GStreamer's `d3d11screencapturesrc capture-api=wgc`, by window (HWND) or screen (HMONITOR) |
+| Encoding | Media Foundation's H.264 encoder (`mfh264enc`), low latency, no B-frames. Whether it uses the GPU depends on the PC; **not verified** |
+| Input | `SendInput`, mapped through the source's bounds, with per-monitor DPI awareness |
+
+API choices are documented, not device-verified:
+[Windows capture](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/audio-video-camera/screen-capture),
+[GStreamer WGC](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/d3d11/d3d11screencapturesrc.html),
+[Media Foundation encoder](https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/mediafoundation/mfh264enc.html).
+
+It needs Windows 10 or 11 with Windows.Graphics.Capture and a Media Foundation
+H.264 encoder (Windows "N" editions need the Media Feature Pack). Clicks and
+keys can't reach administrator apps or the sign-in screen, which an ordinary
+process can't drive. If Windows won't bring the chosen window to the front,
+input is refused rather than sent to the app covering it: bring the window
+forward, then Stop and Show again. Minimised or closed windows stop sending
+pictures. Protected video isn't supported. Mac in the headset's "own display
+per window" is Mac-only.
+
+The pieces it shares with Mac in the headset:
+
+- `ui/frame_macview.py` owns the SSH tunnel, reconnects, quality presets and
+  panel launch. `ui/frame_pcview.py` picks the Windows helper
+  (`ui/frame_pc_agent.py`, `ui/frame_pc_capture.py`, `desktop/capture.c`) and
+  holds the on/off switch. `/api/macview` is the endpoint for both.
+- `ui/mac-view.html` is the one viewer in the headset. Its frame header, H.264
+  and JPEG payloads, reconnect handshake, clock sync, timing reports and input
+  messages are unchanged.
+- `desktop/controller.c` is a C port of the Mac helper's Swift rate controller,
+  for the Windows helper. The Mac keeps its Swift original;
+  `tests/test_pc_controller.py` checks the port against a frozen 600-state
+  trace from it. Capture is gated before encoding, so encoded frames are never
+  dropped, and an idle window's last picture still goes out once the link
+  clears.
+- Stream records use the Mac helper's JSON schema (`ui/frame_stream_stats.py`),
+  so the benchmark's analysis is shared.
+
+## Packaging
+
+The Windows installer carries `resources/desktop/bundle`: `pc-host.dll` (our
+adapter and the controller), the GStreamer plugins it uses (`coreelements`,
+`videotestsrc`, `videoconvertscale`, `app`, `jpeg`, `videoparsersbad`,
+`d3d11`, `mediafoundation`) and the DLLs they depend on, all from MSYS2's
+UCRT64 packages. `libraries.json` records the GStreamer version, the plugins,
+each copied DLL and the exact package versions; licence texts are in
+`licenses/`.
+
+The x264 encoder is **not** in the installer. It's GPL, and Windows encodes
+with Media Foundation, so only CI's test builds include it
+(`desktop/build.py --with-x264`). The macOS and Linux installers are unchanged.
+
+From a source checkout on Windows, build the bundle from an MSYS2 UCRT64 shell
+with the packages listed in `.github/workflows/pc-host.yml`:
+
+```sh
+python desktop/build.py              # what the installer ships
+python desktop/build.py --with-x264  # for the native tests
+```
+
+A missing bundle is reported on the card; nothing is downloaded on first use.
+
+The Linux adapter from #38 (desktop portal, PipeWire, VA-API) is in the tree,
+because it shares `capture.c` and the controller, and CI still builds and tests
+it. The app never offers it and the Linux installers don't include it.
+
+## Measuring
+
+The Mac benchmark accepts the PC host:
+
+```sh
+python scripts/macview-bench.py run --pc --scenario test --label pc-test
+python scripts/macview-bench.py run --pc --scenario capture --source window:12345 --label windows-window
+```
+
+`capture` needs a window or screen id from the helper's `/windows` or
+`/displays`. CPU sampling isn't available on PC hosts. See
+[Mac in the headset](mac-in-headset.md) for the targets and shaping options.
+
+## What's verified
+
+- **Verified in CI, this PR:** on `windows-latest`, the native adapter builds
+  and a real x264 synthetic stream passes the ticket, reconnect, timing and
+  input-echo tests through the helper. The Windows installer builds with the
+  bundle, and its bundled Python loads the bundle, starts the helper and
+  confirms x264 isn't in it. Unit tests check the Windows-only, off-by-default
+  gating, the card and the Tools link on macOS, Windows and Linux.

+# Recording and Steam clips
+
+Frame Control can record what the headset shows, with its sound, and save it as
+an `.mp4` on your computer. It can also export the clips and background
+recordings from Steam's own game recording, at any length, as one `.mp4` each.
+Both are on **Tools → Capture & Live**. Everything is saved to
+`~/Videos/SteamFrame`, next to the screenshots in `~/Pictures/SteamFrame`.
+Nothing needs installing on the computer or on the Frame: the work is done by
+the `ffmpeg` that SteamOS ships.
+
+**Recording is tested on a headset; Steam clip export isn't yet.** On a Frame
+running SteamOS 0.5.6 (build 20261015.6141207), Record and Stop saved an
+8-second 1080p H.264 recording with AAC sound to the computer, Stop took about a
+second, and nothing was left running or stored on the Frame. That Frame had no
+Steam recordings, so the clip list came back empty and export has only been
+tested with files in Steam's format made by `ffmpeg`. The parts we're least sure
+of are listed under [What hasn't been checked](#what-hasnt-been-checked).
+
+## Record
+
+Press **Record** next to **Live**. The button turns into **Stop**, and a line
+under the viewer counts the time. Press **Stop**: the recording is finished on
+the Frame, converted to `.mp4` there (without re-encoding) and copied to
+`~/Videos/SteamFrame/rec-<date>-<time>.mp4`. The line says when it's saved.
+
+- **What's in it**: the same picture as **Live**, SteamVR's copy of the headset
+  view (one undistorted 1920×1080 eye, from `/dev/video99`), at 30 fps and
+  8 Mbit/s, encoded with x264 (the Frame's hardware encoder crashes `ffmpeg`).
+  The sound is what the headset plays: the monitor of PipeWire's default
+  output, read through its PulseAudio server (`-f pulse -i @DEFAULT_MONITOR@`).
+  The microphone isn't recorded.
+- **Without sound**: before each recording Frame Control checks for a fraction
+  of a second that `ffmpeg` can read that audio. If it can't, the recording goes
+  ahead as video only, and the page and the saved message say so.
+- **Limits**: a recording stops by itself after 20 minutes and is saved as if
+  you'd pressed Stop. It needs about 2.9 GB free on the Frame to start (room for
+  a full-length recording twice, while it's converted), and checks the space on
+  your computer before copying. One recording runs at a time.
+- **Where it waits on the Frame**: `~/.cache/frame-control/video/`, not `/tmp`,
+  which is a RAM disk on SteamOS. It's deleted once copied.
+- **If the connection drops or the app quits** while recording, the Frame
+  stops `ffmpeg` cleanly when the SSH channel closes: it types `q` into
+  `ffmpeg`'s input, as at its keyboard, and kills it if it's still there 10
+  seconds later. Not a signal: SteamOS's `ffmpeg` 7.0 catches SIGTERM and
+  SIGINT and carries on recording. A recording that was never copied is
+  deleted when the next one starts.
+
+Recording and **Live** can run together; both read the same device.
+
+## Steam clips
+
+**Steam clips** lists what Steam's game recording has kept on the Frame: saved
+clips and background recordings, newest first, with the game, length and size.
+**Export** joins one into a single `.mp4` in `~/Videos/SteamFrame`, named after
+its folder (for example `clip_620_20261020_202134.mp4`), however long it is.
+Steam's own export is reported to stop at about 60 seconds. Exports run in the
+background; ones already on your computer are marked.
+
+How it works: Steam keeps each recording as MPEG-DASH segments, one folder per
+recording session.
+
+```
+~/.local/share/Steam/userdata/<account>/gamerecordings/
+  video/bg_<appid>_<YYYYMMDD>_<HHMMSS>/                 background recording
+  clips/clip_<appid>_<YYYYMMDD>_<HHMMSS>/video/bg_<...>/ a saved clip
+      session.mpd
+      init-stream0.m4s  chunk-stream0-00001.m4s  chunk-stream0-00002.m4s ...
+      init-stream1.m4s  chunk-stream1-00001.m4s ...
+```
+
+Each stream's `init-stream` segment followed by its chunks, in number order, is
+a playable fragmented MP4 of that stream. On the Frame, `ui/frame_clips.py`
+builds those files and has `ffmpeg` put the video and audio into one `.mp4`
+with `-c copy`, so nothing is re-encoded and it takes seconds. The result is
+copied to the computer and deleted from the Frame. The export needs free space
+on the Frame of about twice the recording's size while it runs.
+
+The listing doesn't rely on the folder names: any folder under `clips/` or
+`video/` (up to four levels down) holding `init-stream*.m4s` counts. A stream
+missing its init segment or its chunks is left out. Missing chunk numbers are
+shown as "pieces missing"; the rest still exports.

+about once a minute and copies what's new with the same code as **Save** and
+**Export**: screenshots to `~/Pictures/SteamFrame`, clips to
+`~/Videos/SteamFrame`.
+
+- **Only what's new.** It copies what you take after turning it on, so the
+  shots and clips already on the headset don't all arrive at once. **Copy
+  everything now** copies everything that isn't on this computer yet, once.
+- **Deleted stays deleted.** What it has copied is remembered, per headset, in
+  `auto-sync.json` in Frame Control's data folder, so a file you delete here
+  isn't copied again (**Copy everything now** would bring it back).
+- **Saved clips only.** Steam's background recording is a rolling buffer, not
+  something you chose to keep, so it isn't copied; export it by hand. A clip
+  Steam wrote to in the last 30 seconds is still being saved and waits for the
+  next look.
+- **It gives way.** It waits while an install, an export, a recording or
+  anything else is running on the headset, and stops between files if one
+  starts. While a copy is running, switching headsets waits for it, as it does
+  for an export. When the headset can't be reached it waits longer each time,
+  up to 15 minutes, and starts over once it answers.
+- **When this computer is full** (under 512 MB free, or a copy runs out of
+  space) it pauses and says so in Settings and above the lists. Free some space
+  and press **Resume**.
+- **With several headsets** it copies from the one you're connected to.
+
+Settings shows when it last checked, how many files it last copied and when,
+and the last problem it had. The screenshot and clip lists say when it's on.
+
+## For developers
+
+`ui/frame_clips.py` holds the logic, so other features can reuse it (automatic
+copying, in `ui/frame_autosync.py`, does):
+
+- `list_clips(run_frame)` and `export_clip(id, run_frame, run, fetch)` are the
+  computer's side; the server passes how to reach the Frame.
+- `list_recordings(userdata)` and `export(userdata, id)` are the Frame's side,
+  run as `python3 - list` / `python3 - export ID` with the file on stdin.
+- `Recorder` runs one recording from Start to the copy.
+- `parse_id` checks a clip id (`<account>/<clips|video>/<folder>...`, plain
+  names only, no `.` or `..`) before it reaches a path or a shell.
+
+The API, with the same guards as every other request:
+
+| Request | Does |
+|---|---|
+| `GET /api/record` | The recording's state: `idle`, `starting`, `recording` (with `elapsed`, `audio`, `limit`), `stopping`, `saving`, `saved` (with `file`) or `failed` (with `error`) |
+| `POST /api/record {"action": "start"\|"stop"}` | Start or stop |
+| `GET /api/clips` | Steam's recordings on the Frame, each with `saved` |
+| `POST /api/clips/export {"id"}` | Starts an export; poll `/api/job` |
+| `POST /api/open {"what": "videos"}` | Opens `~/Videos/SteamFrame` |
+| `GET /api/autosync` | Automatic copying: `screenshots`, `clips`, `since` (the watermark), `checked`, `copied`, `copied_time`, `error`, `paused`, `waiting` (clips still being written) |
+| `POST /api/autosync {"action": "settings", "screenshots", "clips"}` | Turn either on or off; turning it on sets `since` to now |
+| `POST /api/autosync {"action": "now"\|"resume"}` | Copy everything not here yet, once; or resume after running out of space |
+
+They aren't available when the server runs on the Frame itself (the iPhone
+app), since they save to a computer.
+
+Tests: `tests/test_clips.py`, and `tests/test_autosync.py` for automatic
+copying (with a fake headset). They run the recording's shell under bash with a
+stand-in `ffmpeg`, so Stop, the time limit and the clean-up are tested as they
+run on the Frame. Where `ffmpeg` is installed, they also make a 65-second DASH
+recording with Steam's file names and export it with the real `ffmpeg`.
+
+## What hasn't been checked
+
+None of this has run on a Steam Frame yet. In particular:
+
+- That SteamOS's `ffmpeg` can read `@DEFAULT_MONITOR@`. It has the PulseAudio
+  output device (the media player plays through it), so the input is expected,
+  but if it fails the recording is video only, as above.
+- Audio and video sync. Both inputs are stamped with the wall clock, because
+  the camera device and the audio server otherwise count from different clocks.
+- The exact layout of `gamerecordings` on the Frame's SteamOS build, and
+  whether a clip's segments start mid-recording. The parser is deliberately
+  loose about the layout.
+- How much x264 at 1080p30 costs the Frame while a game is running.
+- Automatic copying: that 30 seconds without a write is a safe sign Steam has
+  finished saving a clip, and how a once-a-minute listing feels on the Frame.

+## Force quitting a running game
+
+**Running now**, at the top of Games, lists what's running on the Frame: Steam
+games, sideloaded titles, non-Steam shortcuts and Android apps. A game's library
+tile, a sideloaded title's ⋯ menu and the Control Center's **Force quit a game**
+card have **Force quit…** too. Each asks first ("Unsaved progress will be
+lost"); from a game's own menu it checks that the game is running and says so if
+it isn't. SteamVR (app 250820, and its beta 1009850) is never listed or quit:
+on the Frame it shows the headset view, so quitting it isn't a way out of a game.
+
+`ui/frame_running.py` does the work on the Frame, piped over SSH with
+`frame_steam.py` as its DevTools client:
+
+```sh
+scp ui/frame_steam.py ui/frame_running.py frame:/tmp/
+ssh frame 'python3 /tmp/frame_running.py list'       # {"running": [{appid, gameid, name, kind, ...}]}
+ssh frame 'python3 /tmp/frame_running.py quit 620'   # {"name", "method", "message"}
+```
+
+1. **What's running.** Steam starts every game, shortcut and devkit title under
+   its `reaper`, as `reaper SteamLaunch AppId=<id> -- <command>`, and the reaper
+   stays the parent of the game's processes. So a running game is one of your
+   own processes whose program is named `reaper`, with `SteamLaunch` and an
+   `AppId=` before `--`; the game is that reaper's process tree. Steam's own list
+   (`SteamUIStore.RunningApps`) and Android apps whose Lepton container is up
+   (`podman ps`) are added. Names come from `appStore`, else the app manifest,
+   the Android app's `meta.json` or the devkit title's folder.
+2. **Steam first.** `SteamClient.Apps.TerminateApp(<game id>, false)`, the
+   call Steam's own Stop makes for Android apps ([vr-apks.md](vr-apks.md)). The
+   game id is the appid, or `(appid << 32) | 0x02000000` for a non-Steam
+   shortcut. An Android app's container is also stopped, as the Apps tab's Stop
+   does (`podman stop -t 5 lepton-steamlaunch-<instance>`).
+3. **Then signals.** If the game's processes are still there after 5 seconds,
+   they get SIGTERM, deepest first; whatever is left 3 seconds later gets
+   SIGKILL, the reaper last, so nothing it holds is orphaned unsignalled. A pid
+   is only signalled while its start time still matches, so a reused pid is safe.
+
+Nothing is found by name. These are never signalled, even inside a game's tree:
+init, the helper itself and every process above it (the SSH session), other
+users' processes, and anything named `steam`, `steamwebhelper`, `gamescope`,
+`gamescope-wl`, `gamescopereaper`, `gamescope-session`, `sshd`, `sshd-session`,
+`ssh-agent`, `systemd`, `dbus-daemon`, `dbus-broker`, `pipewire`,
+`pipewire-pulse`, `wireplumber`, `plasmashell`, `kwin_wayland`, `kwin_x11`,
+`Xwayland`, `sddm`, `vrserver`, `vrcompositor`, `vrmonitor`, `vrdashboard`,
+`vrwebhelper` or `vrstartup`, with everything under them.
+
+**Not tested on a headset.** The reaper command line is how Steam launches games
+on Linux desktops and the Steam Deck, **inferred** for the Frame.
+`SteamUIStore.RunningApps` comes from Steam's client code as plugin loaders use
+it and hasn't been seen on the Frame's build; without it, the reapers alone
+decide. `TerminateApp` with a shortcut's game id is the call Steam's Stop was
+seen making for an Android app (docs/vr-apks.md); for Steam games it is
+**inferred**. Unit tests (`tests/test_force_quit.py`) cover the parsing, the
+process selection and the escalation; the fake Frame launches its games under a
+stand-in `reaper` so `tests/e2e/test_running.py` force quits a real process tree.
