+description: Operate the user's Valve Steam Frame headset from the Mac through this repo's helpers and field notes. Use for Steam Frame SSH, screen streaming, clipboard, file push, APK or Flatpak installs, launching apps on the headset, arranging floating windows or panels in VR space, or debugging SteamOS/gamescope/SteamVR on the Frame.
+---
+
+# Steam Frame
+
+SSH works through the `frame` alias
+(user `steamos`). The headset has to be awake for anything that touches its
+desktop or panels.
+
+## Start here
+
+1. Read `docs/how-the-frame-works.md`. It's the map: the layer cake (SteamVR →
+   gamescope → nested Plasma), the verified facts, and debug recipes.
+2. Open the topic doc for the task:
+
+| Task | Doc | Script |
+|---|---|---|
+| Floating windows in the room, one panel per app | `docs/panels.md` | `scripts/panel-on-frame.sh` |
+| First-time access, SSH keys | `docs/ssh.md` | `scripts/connect.sh` |
+| See the Frame from the Mac, or the Mac inside the Frame | `docs/streaming.md` | `scripts/run-on-frame.sh mac-screen` |
+| Files and clipboard | `docs/file-transfer.md` | `scripts/push.sh`, `scripts/paste-to-frame.sh` |
+| Android apps (Lepton) | `docs/apks.md` | `scripts/install-apk.sh` |
+| Browse and install Android apps from inside the headset (APK Store panel) | `docs/apks.md` | `scripts/store-on-frame.sh` |
+| Reach the Frame off the home LAN (Tailscale) | `docs/tailscale.md` | `scripts/tailscale-on-frame.sh` |
+| Install or buy Steam games, Frame ratings | `docs/steam-games.md` | `ui/frame_steam.py` |
+| Flatpaks | `docs/streaming.md` | `scripts/install-apps.sh` |
+| Launch an app inside the desktop panel | the script's header comment | `scripts/run-on-frame.sh` |
+| Mac GUI over all of this | `README.md` → Frame Control | `scripts/frame-ui.sh` |
+| iPhone/iPad app (server runs on the Frame, `FRAME_LOCAL=1`) | `docs/iphone.md` | `ios/`, `ui/local-bin/ssh` |
+| Recovery images, factory reset, boot loops | `docs/recovery-and-images.md`, `docs/how-the-frame-works.md` | `~/Downloads/steam-frame-recovery/` |
+| Test without the headset (the Frame OS image's own sshd) | `tests/frame-container/README.md` | `tests/frame-container/frame-image.sh` |
+| What's still unverified | `docs/open-questions.md` | — |
+
+Each script's usage is in its header comment. Read the header rather than
+running `--help`: `paste-to-frame.sh`, `serve-bootstrap.sh` and
+`bootstrap-on-frame.sh` act on any argument.
+
+## Ground rules
+
+- Label every claim **verified** (seen on the device, with the date and
+  SteamOS build) or **inferred**. The docs use this convention. Keep it, and
+  move items out of `docs/open-questions.md` once they're checked.
+- When you learn something new about the Frame, record it in
+  `docs/how-the-frame-works.md` (or the topic doc) in the same change.
+- The Frame's rootfs is read-only and SteamOS updates replace it. Put changes in
+  `~` (`--user` Flatpaks, `~/.config`) rather than `steamos-readonly disable`.
+- `sudo` on the Frame asks for the user's Developer Mode password. Hand those
+  steps to the user (open Terminal) and keep automation to non-sudo commands.
+- The Mac uses BSD userland and zsh (no `timeout`, use `head -n`).
+- **First-party first.** For any new capability, investigate the first-party
+  way before anything else: Valve (SteamOS, Steam, Steam Link), Apple (the Mac
+  and iPhone), and KDE (the Frame's desktop is Plasma). It's usually the best
+  answer. If it isn't, write down why not. If it is, find what Frame Control
+  can do to make it easier to set up (install over SSH, pre-seed settings,
+  pair automatically, tell the user the one setting to turn on).

+# Changelog
+
+## Unreleased
+
+- Fix smoke cleanup skipping orphan metadata and Steam shortcuts after a test
+  title directory was already removed. Sweep and verify all six exact reserved
+  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).
+
+- Compare two explicit Windows Wireless Adapter doctor reads in local memory.
+  Highlight exact PnP instances and known state changes after a dropout;
+  incomplete inventories stay unknown. A Forget button clears the comparison.
+  No adapter setting changes or report uploads are made.
+
+- Add recovery steps to the Windows Wireless Adapter doctor for streams that
+  drop as they start and dongles that will not reconnect. Compare exact PnP IDs
+  and test one connection condition at a time. In-app disable/re-enable remains
+  deferred until an active Steam adapter instance can be identified safely.
+  [Guide and limits](docs/windows-wireless-doctor.md).
+
+- Add an explicit host window-switch button to whole-display panels: Alt-Tab
+  on Windows and Command-Tab on macOS. Single-window panels keep their own
+  source, so the button is hidden there.
+
+- Enable the in-app OBS source Start/Stop control on Windows. A control pipe
+  lets the Python relay close its SSH child on Stop, app quit or parent exit;
+  add a short [Discord guide](docs/streaming-to-discord.md).
+
+- Add a read-only wired connection doctor for a PC using the Frame's observed
+  USB-C network: show the local route, SSH port and pinned-key login result
+  without changing IP, host keys or headset settings.
+  [Usage and limits](docs/wired-connection.md).
+
+- Start the Android app catalogue without waiting for the headset's installed-app
+  list. Browsing remains available if that status request is slow or fails;
+  installation still waits for a confirmed list to avoid duplicate installs.
+
+- Verify the packaged OBS Start and Stop control with a real Frame, and record
+  37.600 seconds of headset mirror video and non-silent output audio in OBS.
+  Listening, sync and active passthrough remain unverified.
+  [Test record](docs/evidence/obs-media-source-real-2026-10-25.md).
+
+- Bundle the OBS source helper in Linux and macOS installers and add a
+  **Capture & Live** Start/Stop control. The app selects the active Frame and
+  closes its SSH stream on a headset switch or app exit. A real Frame stream
+  reached OBS with video and non-silent audio; listening and sync remain
+  unverified. [Setup and limits](docs/obs-headset-source.md).
+
+- Add a source-checkout helper that sends the Frame's SteamVR mirror and
+  default-output audio to a local OBS Media Source. A real Frame supplied a
+  4.021-second H.264/AAC stream to a Linux receiver; OBS playback and sync
+  remain unverified. [Setup and limits](docs/obs-headset-source.md).
+
+- Link emulator setup guidance from Store → Emulators. Existing Steam library
+  shortcuts and artwork cover Android apps and sideloaded titles; Android ROM
+  transfer still needs a verified per-instance workflow.
+  [Guide](docs/emulators.md).
+
+- Record the current Frame OS mirror and charge-limit checks. Active
+  passthrough in the mirror is still unknown; this build has no supported
+  user-writable 80% charge-limit control.
+  [Headset evidence](docs/evidence/round3-headset-2026-10-25.md).
+
+- Add Windows Tools → Wireless Adapter doctor: an explicit read-only PC snapshot
+  of distinct Wi-Fi Direct PnP instances, presence/link state, PC Wi-Fi and
+  reported channels/bands, with possible 2.4 GHz overlap guidance. Unknowns stay
+  visible; no adapter disable action is offered because an unused instance
+  cannot be identified reliably. No headset access or settings changes.
+  [Sources, verification and limits](docs/windows-wireless-doctor.md).
+
+- Add a Linux PC Wireless Adapter doctor in Settings and Devices, with a source
+  CLI and local JSON report. Select observed hardware without assuming Valve
+  IDs; inspect USB/interface presence, driver/module binding, udev/permissions,
+  rfkill, channel/band and network manager evidence. Missing evidence stays
+  unknown; all checks are read-only and never contact the Frame.
+  [Usage and verification limits](docs/linux-wireless-adapter-doctor.md).
+
+- Add Linux Tools → Steam desktop sharing: request `steam -pipewire` only after
+  checking Steam is not running, or open KDE Application Permissions with
+  instructions to revoke a verified Steam screen-sharing session manually. No
+  automatic permission reset, Steam restart, or headset access. Frame Control
+  Linux capture remains disabled; live portal behavior is unverified.
+  [Usage and limits](docs/steam-pipewire.md).
+
+- Use gamescope's input for the keyboard and trackpad, following the focused
+  headset panel without installing an input service. Start KDE Connect only for
+  accents and emoji, keeping queued text ordered and cancelling it on headset
+  switches. Retain intended-headset checks before starting either control and
+  prevent Unicode helper startup from deadlocking with a headset switch.
+- Keep accepted keyboard text when the Unicode queue is full: reject new batches
+  before sending their clicks or keys, and count in-flight text toward the limit.
+  Retain unsent text after helper failures/timeouts, report the error and resume
+  it with Try again. Clean up failed workers without touching a new headset's queue.
+  [Current verification and device limits](docs/evidence/pad-gamescope-2026-10-24.md).
+
+- Keep media playback running when SteamVR refuses the optional theatre dark
+  surround, including a retry after standby. Log the refusal and play without
+  the surround. Overlay teardown attempts every owned handle and always calls
+  OpenVR shutdown even if a handle fails to close.
+
+- Check the desktop server's single-instance lock before starting background
+  downloads, so a second server exits cleanly with the existing "already
+  running" message.
+
+- Recheck saved spatial layouts on SteamOS 0.5.6 / SteamVR 2.18.2 (issue #31).
+  Read-only probes expose some panel geometry, but safe restoration of
+  Steam/gamescope docking and positions remains unverified. Record exact API
+  results and a reproducible probe; saved layouts remain unavailable.
+
+- Record packaged v0.4.17 Desktop Capture succeeding on a mapped nested KDE
+  compositor on a real Frame with SteamOS 0.5.6. Headset overlay visibility was
+  not established; this is evidence, not a new fix or resolution of issue #73.
+
+- Correct the Return to Game Mode help text: Frame Control selects the switch
+  supported by the headset's SteamOS build, including `steamosctl` on current
+  Frames. The button's behavior is unchanged.
+
+- Distinguish an unreadable gamescope panel list from a confirmed empty list in
+  Desktop Capture and Control (issue #73). Failed discovery now asks users to
+  check SteamVR and report the exact message and SteamOS version, rather than
+  claiming no panel is open. This does not establish a new capture fix.
+
+- Add an opt-in desktop low-battery alert without starting a family session.
+  Existing status reads confirm low charge and drain; recovery hysteresis and a
+  ten-minute cooldown limit repeat alerts. Off on page open/headset switch;
+  pauses with hidden-page status refreshes. No extra polling or headset changes.
+
+- Clarify first-time desktop downloads, installation and opening on the website
+  and README, including CPU choices, unsigned-app warnings, pairing fallback
+  and the source-only iOS build. Keep section navigation available on mobile.
+
+- Treat headset aliases and other CSV metadata as plain text in power and heat
+  exports, so spreadsheet formula prefixes cannot run when a report is opened.
+
+- Add desktop Tools → Power & heat report: bounded read-only one/five-minute
+  observations with progress, stop and HTML/JSON/CSV downloads. Received samples
+  survive stop, disconnect and headset switch, labeled incomplete and tied to the
+  original headset. Shared sampler/report modules ship with the app; no power or
+  thermal controls are added. Download before replacing a report or quitting.
+
+- Fix Return to Game Mode misidentifying full Plasma Desktop Mode when its VR
+  overlay also runs gamescope (issue #142). Session targets now determine the
+  mode; conflicting or incomplete evidence stays unknown. Use SteamOS's
+  `steamosctl` switch when available, with older selector commands retained.
+
+- Export read-only power and heat observations to an offline accessible HTML
+  report with JSON/CSV downloads. `--html FILE` limits sessions to ten minutes;
+  Ctrl+C saves received samples with an explicit incomplete state. Units,
+  unknown counts and sources remain visible; no headset controls are added.
+
+- Add a guarded `frame-doctor.sh --plan` with read-only, evidence-specific next
+  steps and explicit local baseline reports for before/after diagnostics (issue
+  #34). Restart risk blocks plans/comparisons; no automatic repairs, password
+  changes or headset security changes are performed.
+
+- Recover a tagged release upload when GitHub temporarily displays its draft
+  as `untagged-…` after an edit, without creating a duplicate draft or
+  silently retrying unrelated upload failures.
+
+- Import standalone APK/OBB backups from XAPK/APKS/APKM archives through the
+  existing preview and game-data setup flow. Unsafe archives, split sets and
+  Android/data restores are refused with guidance. This does not establish RE4
+  compatibility or diagnose its reported failure (issue #102).
+
+- Add `scripts/frame-power-sample.sh`, a bounded read-only SSH sampler for
+  battery, CPU, named temperatures, fan and available power rails (issue #52).
+  JSON samples/summaries and CSV exports retain explicit unavailable states;
+  active smoke-test locks stop measurement. No power settings are changed.
+
+- Show saved Android compatibility reports on store search cards and app details.
+  Reports refresh in the background, so a stalled database or credential lookup
+  cannot delay search. Warnings allow installation; build compatibility blockers
+  still apply. Public copies use this computer's reports, not private shared ratings.
+
+- Fix two cases where optional diagnostic logs could retain part of a headset
+  display name or an SSH host name, while preserving existing privacy redaction
+  (issue #81).
+
+- Keep the full host-key recovery explanation readable in Devices, including
+  long addresses, and remove doubled punctuation from the connection tooltip
+  (issue #87). Refresh stays within the header and switching headsets selects
+  the new headset's details.
+
+- Fix experimental PC screen capture on Windows builds whose streaming libraries
+  lack Windows Graphics Capture. Whole screens use Desktop Duplication; individual
+  windows are hidden with an explanation instead of failing when shown. A Windows
+  VM streamed a real desktop to the Frame; physical input remains unverified.
+
+- Add read-only battery health in Tools: charging state, temperature, cycle count,
+  and available capacity with explicit unknown states. The parser was checked
+  on a real Frame; the connected desktop UI was tested with synthetic readings.
+
+- Add Tools → Game storage: read-only headset filesystem capacity and Steam
+  library/game install-size breakdown, with unknown sizes, partial inventories
+  and permission/missing-drive states. Includes instructions for Steam's own
+  Move UI; Frame Control does not move or delete game files. The read-only
+  parser was checked on a real Frame; the connected UI and game moves were not.
+
+- Add `scripts/frame-doctor.sh` for read-only setup and pairing diagnostics,
+  with verified SSH identity, private summaries and actionable next steps
+  (issue #34). Connection steps links to the diagnostic guide. Repairs remain
+  manual; restart-loop evidence stops deeper diagnostics. The real Frame
+  verified the SSH connection and safety stop; deeper checks were skipped.
+- Fixed headset smoke cleanup reporting success while a smoke-title process
+  could remain running after its files were removed. Cleanup now stops and
+  rechecks processes tied to exact reserved test-title paths, uses PID handles
+  for safe TERM/KILL escalation, and records stopped PIDs. Unrelated titles and
+  shared Wine services are left alone. Verified with local Linux process
+  regressions and a 13/13 real Frame smoke run that stopped five test-owned
+  Proton process PIDs before removing the Windows test title.
+
+- Keep failed automatic screenshot and clip copies visible after three attempts.
+  **Resume** and **Copy everything now** allow another try without restarting;
+  headset switches cannot use another headset's list or saved-file history.

+# Contributing to Frame Control
+
+This guide exists to save both sides time. The process is borrowed from
+[pi](https://github.com/badlogic/pi-mono/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md).
+
+## Just want to report something?
+
+Use the [feedback form](https://frame-control.pages.dev/feedback/). It needs no
+GitHub account, and what you send becomes an issue here that stays open.
+
+## The One Rule
+
+**You must understand your code.** If you can't explain what your change does
+and how it interacts with the rest of the app, your PR will be closed.
+
+Using AI to write code is fine. Submitting AI-generated slop you don't
+understand is not.
+
+## Contribution gate
+
+Issues and PRs opened on GitHub by new contributors are auto-closed by default.
+A maintainer reviews auto-closed issues regularly and reopens worthwhile ones.
+Issues that don't meet the quality bar below won't be reopened or get a reply.
+
+Approval happens through maintainer replies on issues:
+
+- `lgtmi`: your future issues won't be auto-closed
+- `lgtm`: your future issues and PRs won't be auto-closed
+
+The word must be at the start of the reply (optionally after one or more
+`@username` mentions) or at the end. Only `lgtm` lets you open PRs. Approved
+people are listed in [`.github/APPROVED_CONTRIBUTORS`](.github/APPROVED_CONTRIBUTORS).
+
+## Quality bar for issues
+
+Use one of the issue templates, and keep it short, concrete and worth reading.
+
+- If it doesn't fit on one screen, it's too long.
+- Write in your own voice. If you must use an LLM, say so in a clearly labelled
+  follow-up comment.
+- State the bug or request clearly, and why it matters.
+- For bugs, include your OS, your SteamOS build (Steam Settings → System), and
+  the server log (**Frame → Show Server Log** in the app).
+- If you want to implement the change yourself, say so.
+
+## Before opening a PR
+
+Don't open a PR until a maintainer has approved you with `lgtm`. Open an
+[idea or contribution proposal](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/issues/new?template=idea.yml)
+first.
+
+Then check your change:
+
+```sh
+python3 -m unittest discover -s tests   # server tests; no headset needed
+node --test site/test/*.test.mjs        # website feedback function
+```
+
+Say what you tested, and whether you tried it on a real Steam Frame.
+
+To add a local feature without changing the core app, see the
+[extension guide](docs/extensions.md) and its working example.
+
+## Blocking
+
+If you ignore this document twice, or spam the tracker with agent-generated
+issues, your GitHub account will be blocked from the repo.
+
+## Why auto-close?
+
+This is a hobby project with one maintainer. Auto-closing is a buffer against
+burnout and tracker spam: issues get reviewed on the maintainer's schedule, and
+the good ones are reopened. Short, concrete, reproducible reports and thoughtful
+contributions are welcome.

+### Is it safe? Check your download
+
+Starting with **v0.4.26**, get the installer and [SHA256SUMS](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/releases/latest/download/SHA256SUMS) from the **same release**. Earlier releases do not have this file. A matching SHA-256 means your file matches that release asset. It does not prove the app is free of malware. Use the command for your downloaded file, then compare all 64 characters with its line in `SHA256SUMS`:
+
+```powershell
+# Windows PowerShell
+Get-FileHash .\Frame-Control-Setup-x64.exe -Algorithm SHA256
+```
+
+```sh
+# macOS: shasum -a 256 Frame-Control-mac-arm64.dmg
+# Linux: sha256sum Frame-Control-linux-x86_64.AppImage
+```
+
+The [source](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control) and [release build workflow](.github/workflows/release.yml) are public. The Windows installer is **not code-signed**, so SmartScreen may warn. The macOS app has only an **ad hoc signature**, not an Apple Developer ID signature; the DMG is **unsigned and not notarized**, so Gatekeeper may warn or block it. Only follow the opening steps below if you trust the download.

+日本語: [5 ステップの接続ガイド](docs/connection-faq.md#日本語-5-ステップで接続)を参照してください。v0.4.26 以降は公式リリースの SHA256SUMS とファイルの SHA-256 値を照合してください。Windows は未署名、macOS は開発者 ID による署名・公証がありません。
+
+**Which build?** On a Mac, check Apple menu → About This Mac: use `mac-arm64`
+for Apple Silicon (M-series), or `mac-x64` for Intel (available from v0.4.39). On Windows,
+check Settings → System → About → System type: the release is x64, not a native
+Windows ARM build. On Linux, `uname -m` reports `x86_64` (x64) or `aarch64`
+(arm64). Use `.deb` on Debian/Ubuntu, or AppImage on other distributions.
+
+**iPhone and iPad:** no App Store, TestFlight or `.ipa` download is provided in
+the current release. It runs from your phone without a computer after setup.
+Build it from [`ios/`](ios) in Xcode on a Mac with your own signing team; see
+[docs/iphone.md](docs/iphone.md).
+
+The app brings its own Python and `adb`. macOS includes SSH; Windows needs the
+OpenSSH Client optional feature (normally installed).
+From 0.4 it updates itself: when a new version is published, a banner offers
+**Update and restart**. It sends anonymous usage statistics, which you can turn
+off. Sharing compatibility results and error details is opt-in. See
+[docs/privacy.md](docs/privacy.md).
+Google doesn't publish `adb` for arm64 Linux, so that build uses your
+distribution's. If you already have `adb`, the app uses yours.
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>macOS: the app isn't notarized</b></summary>
+
+The app has an **ad hoc signature**, no Apple Developer ID signature, and no
+notarization. The DMG is unsigned. First verify the download against the
+`SHA256SUMS` from the same release, then open the DMG and drag **Frame Control**
+to **Applications**.
+
+Check your processor before opening: v0.4.38 and earlier publish only
+`mac-arm64` for Apple Silicon. On an Intel Mac, this build cannot run;
+removing quarantine or installing Rosetta does not make an ARM app run on Intel.
+On a real Intel MacBook Air with macOS 15.7.7, opening v0.4.35 and v0.4.36
+reported: **“The application cannot be opened because it has an incorrect
+executable format.”** This is an architecture failure, not an observed
+Gatekeeper warning. The official **v0.4.39 Intel DMG** was then verified,
+installed and launched on that Air. Both CLI and T3 browser downloads lacked
+quarantine metadata; no Gatekeeper dialog appeared, while `spctl` rejected the
+ad hoc signed app. This does not verify Safari/Chrome warnings or Open Anyway.
+See the [released Intel test](docs/evidence/mac-v0439-2026-10-26.md) and
+[earlier architecture failure](docs/evidence/mac-desktop-2026-10-26.md).
+
+On a compatible Mac, if macOS blocks an unverified developer, try opening the
+app once, then go to **System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway**
+and confirm **Open**. Only do this for a download you verified and trust.
+[Apple's opening instructions](https://support.apple.com/102445) describe the
+current security controls. The exact warning and this override flow have not
+yet been verified here on either Mac architecture.
+
+If a trusted, verified copy still reports “damaged” and offers no Open Anyway
+option, the Terminal fallback removes only this app's download quarantine
+(it does not sign or notarize the app):
+
+```sh
+xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Frame Control.app"
+```
+
+Then open it from Applications. Do not disable Gatekeeper globally. Depending
+on the features you use, macOS may also request Local Network access, permission
+to control Terminal, or Screen Recording; approve only the feature you intend
+to use. Those permission prompts were not verified in the release test above.
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>Windows: SmartScreen warning</b></summary>
+
+The installer isn't code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may say it protected
+your PC. Choose **More info → Run anyway**. The portable `.zip` avoids the
+installer: unzip it anywhere and run `Frame Control.exe`.
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary><b>Linux: running the AppImage</b></summary>
+
+```sh
+chmod +x Frame-Control-linux-*.AppImage && ./Frame-Control-linux-*.AppImage
+```
+
+If it complains about FUSE, install `libfuse2` (Ubuntu 24.04+: `libfuse2t64`),
+or run it with `--appimage-extract-and-run`.
+</details>
+
+## Open the app
+
+**Optional: open at login.** In the installed desktop app, choose **Frame → Open at Login**. It is off by default. When on, a login launch starts in the tray or menu bar if that control is available; click its icon to open the window, or use its **Quit Frame Control** menu item. Closing the window keeps the app in the tray while this option is on. Turn the same menu option off to remove its OS login item. On Linux this creates or removes only Frame Control's own file in `~/.config/autostart/` (or `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/autostart/`). If the desktop has no working tray, the window opens at login instead. A source checkout does not offer this setting.
+
+- **macOS:** open the `.dmg`, drag **Frame Control** to **Applications**, then
+  open it from Applications. For the Gatekeeper warning, use the macOS steps
+  above. Allow local network access and control of Terminal when prompted.
+- **Windows:** run the installer, then open **Frame Control** from Start. For
+  the portable download, extract the entire `.zip` first and run
+  `Frame Control.exe` inside it. See the SmartScreen note above.
+- **Linux:** install the `.deb` with your package installer and launch
+  **Frame Control** from your applications menu; or make the AppImage executable
+  and run it as described above. Install the OpenSSH client if `ssh` is missing.
+
+## Set up the headset
+
+Keep the Frame awake and connect it and your computer to the same trusted local
+network. Guest Wi-Fi/client isolation can prevent discovery and connections.
+
+1. **On the Frame:** Steam Settings → System → **Enable Developer Mode**, then
+   Developer → **Set User Password**. Choose a password that isn't easy to guess:
+   it also protects `sudo` and remote desktop, even after SSH keys are set up.
+2. **On your computer:** open Frame Control and choose **Set Up Connection…**.
+   If you dismissed the first-run prompt, use **Frame → Set Up Connection…**.
+   Setup opens a terminal and tries to find the headset. If it can't, use its IP
+   address from Quick Settings or Steam Settings → Internet. Windows/Linux setup
+   prompts for it; macOS exits instead. On macOS, return to the app →
+   **Devices & connection → + Add a headset…**, set SSH alias to `frame` for
+   the default headset, fill in **Address**, then choose **Set Up…**.
+3. **Pair or enter the password:** setup first tries Valve's devkit pairing.
+   Open Steam Settings → Developer → **Pair new host** in the headset and approve
+   only the request you just started. The service and pairing-mode step are
+   verified on a Frame; approval and key installation through that flow remain
+   unverified. If pairing fails or times out, setup falls back to asking for the
+   Developer Mode password in the computer's terminal. Password typing may show
+   no characters; press Enter when done. See [SSH details](docs/ssh.md#password-free-pairing-steamos-devkit-service).
+4. After setup succeeds, return to Frame Control. It uses SSH keys for later
+   connections whenever the Frame is awake and reachable. If it stays offline,
+   check Developer Mode, the address and network isolation, then run setup again.
+   For connections away from home, see [Tailscale](docs/tailscale.md).
+
+**Does Frame Control lower streaming lag?** No. Frame Control manages the Frame
+over SSH. SteamVR or Steam Link carries the game stream. Frame Control does not
+carry that stream, lower ping, or need the Wireless Adapter. It can connect over
+Wi-Fi, the Wireless Adapter, or USB when your computer has an SSH route to the
+Frame. The wired doctor checks only that SSH route. A data-capable USB-A-to-C
+cable has not been tested for the Frame's USB network. See the
+[connection FAQ and Japanese quick start](docs/connection-faq.md).
+
+**What it changes:** only what you click. Installs go to your user account on
+the Frame (`--user` Flatpaks, Lepton instances, Steam downloads, sideloaded
+games in `~/devkit-game`), and nothing
+needs `sudo` except the power buttons. On your computer it adds a `Host frame`
+entry to `~/.ssh/config` and keys at `~/.ssh/id_ed25519_frame` and
+`~/.ssh/id_rsa_frame_devkit` (the pairing service only takes RSA keys).
+
+## Feedback
+
+This is a first public test, so reports are really useful, especially from
+Windows and Linux. The quickest way is **Report a problem** in the app (the
+speech-bubble button at the top, or **Help → Report a Problem…**). It adds
+diagnostics with personal details removed, shows you exactly what's included,
+and sends it privately to the maintainer; nothing is published. Without the app,
+use the [feedback form](https://frame-control.pages.dev/feedback/). Please include:
+
+- what you tried and what happened
+- your computer's OS and your SteamOS build (Steam Settings → System)
+- the server log: **Frame → Show Server Log** in the app
+
+Issues and PRs opened directly on GitHub by new contributors are auto-closed
+until a maintainer approves them; see [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).

+
+- With Developer Mode on, `sshd`, ADB and xrdp are all reachable on your LAN.
+  Each running Lepton (Android) instance opens its own ADB port in 5555–5599,
+  listening on `0.0.0.0` rather than only loopback. This was seen on the
+  device on 2026-09-25, so anyone on the network can reach it. Use trusted
+  networks only, and turn Developer Mode off when you don't need it.
+- Frame Control reaches ADB and the Steam client's DevTools port (Frame
+  loopback `127.0.0.1:8080`) only through SSH tunnels. The compatibility
+  database key (maintainer-only) is never written to the repo.
+- `steamos` has `sudo`, protected by the same Developer Mode password. Once
+  you've switched to key auth, that password still protects `sudo` and RDP,
+  so pick one that isn't trivially guessable.
+- Don't port-forward 22, 3389, or 5555–5599 from your router. For remote access,
+  use Tailscale: `scripts/tailscale-on-frame.sh` (no sudo). In its userspace mode
+  **every** Frame port is reachable from your tailnet, including Steam's DevTools
+  on loopback 8080; see [docs/tailscale.md](docs/tailscale.md).

+## Development
+
+```sh
+python3 -m unittest discover -s tests   # server tests; no headset needed
+scripts/e2e.sh                          # end-to-end against a fake Frame (Linux with Docker)
+cd app && npm install && npm start      # run the app from the checkout
+```
+
+The server is Python stdlib only; the app is Electron. GitHub Actions runs the
+tests on macOS, Windows and Linux, and a `v*` tag builds all three installers
+into a draft release, which reaches users once published. See

+# Android app catalogue and compatibility reports
+
+The data behind Frame Control's **Android apps** section: every app in the
+F-Droid main repo, rated for Lepton (the Frame's Android container), plus our
+own compatibility reports. No ProtonDB-style database for sideloaded Android
+apps on the Frame existed as of 2026-09-25 (Steam Frame Hub and Valve's
+"Great on Frame" cover Steam games only), so we keep our own.
+
+```sh
+scripts/frame-ui.sh        # Frame Control → Android apps: search, Install, Test, Report
+scripts/apk-catalog.sh     # refresh the F-Droid data (only scans what changed)
+```
+
+## Verdicts
+
+| Verdict | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| Works on Frame | The latest report says it runs (automated Test or a person's rating) |
+| Should work | No known blocker found in the APK |
+| Might work | Something uncertain: Compose version unknown, Godot, Qt, Play Services, no launcher icon (widgets, tiles, keyboards), or a report of issues |
+| Probably crashes | Compose UI < 1.11, SDL or Kivy |
+| Won't work | Needs Android 12+ or has no 64-bit ARM build, or a report says it's broken |
+
+"Should work" means the app opens. Features that need something Lepton lacks
+(browser links, file picker, Play Services, camera app) can still fail. The
+rules and the evidence behind them are in [docs/apks.md](../docs/apks.md).
+
+## Compatibility reports
+
+Reports are saved on your Mac. The maintainer's copy of Frame Control also
+syncs them to a private Lakebed database (see
+[compat-db/README.md](../compat-db/README.md), including backups). **Test**
+records whether an app stays up in its own instance (`result`); **Report**
+(on any installed app, catalogue card, or **+ Report an APK** for anything else, e.g. an
+APK file or your own build) records `works`, `issues` or `broken`, how it was run
+(own instance, Lepton Development, other), where the APK came from, and notes. Each report carries
+the SteamOS `BUILD_ID` and the Lepton build id. Newest wins, and a person's
+rating beats an automated result (`reports.py`).
+
+## Files
+
+| File | Role |
+|---|---|
+| `zipcd.py` | Reads an APK's zip directory and single entries with HTTP range requests |
+| `scan.py` | Per app: native ABIs, frameworks (from `lib/*.so`), Compose/GMS/Firebase resource names from `resources.arsc`. Writes `data/scan.jsonl` |
+| `scan2.py` | Per app: Compose UI version, launcher/IME/feature strings from `AndroidManifest.xml`. Writes `data/scan2.jsonl` |
+| `pick.py` | Which version to rate and install: newest with an arm64 build (or no native code) and minSdk ≤ 30 |
+| `pins.json` | Versions pinned by hand (F-Droid 1.17.2) |
+| `reports.py` | How reports override predictions (the reports are in compat-db) |
+| `build.py` | Applies the rules and writes `site/apps.js` (predictions; Frame Control adds reports at runtime) |
+
+Frame Control's `ui/frame_catalog.py` loads `site/apps.js`, applies the
+reports from `ui/frame_compat_db.py`, downloads APKs (SHA-256 checked against the
+F-Droid index), and installs them with `ui/frame_android.py`.
+
+Both scans skip apps whose version hasn't changed. Compose is detected by its
+resource ids (`compose_view_saveable_id_tag`) because many apps strip the
+`META-INF` version files; those apps are rated "Might work".

+//             script once the app has quit, then reopened.

+//             reopens the app. A copy unpacked from the .zip is updated by hand.

+# Lakebed app instructions
+
+Treat this capsule directory as the whole app. Use Lakebed's built-in APIs and CLI.
+
+## Limits to check first
+
+- The public alpha is not production-ready.
+- App code cannot use arbitrary npm packages or Node built-ins. Do not install app dependencies.
+- Database fields support `string()`, `boolean()`, `number()`, `id(...)`, and `userId()`. Chain `.optional()` or `.default(value)` on any field.
+- Local database data and uploaded files reset when the dev server restarts.
+- Hosted server secrets and outbound server-side `fetch` require a claimed deploy.
+- Unclaimed deploys expire. Use the expiry printed by the CLI. Claimed deploys do not expire.
+
+## App structure and APIs
+
+- `server/index.ts` exports the default `capsule()` definition. Put server code in `server/`. Import from `lakebed/server` or relative server and shared files.
+- `client/index.tsx` exports `App`. Put client code in `client/`. Import from `lakebed/client`, `preact`, `preact/hooks`, `preact/jsx-runtime`, `preact/jsx-dev-runtime`, or relative client and shared files.
+- Keep `shared/` pure TypeScript. Do not import DOM APIs, Node built-ins, env values, or Lakebed runtimes there.
+- In client code, use `import type app from "../server/index"` and `createClient<typeof app>()` for typed queries, mutations, and actions. Query hooks return `undefined` until the first result arrives.
+- Database calls are async. Await or return every database operation. Declare indexes with `.index(name, fields)` and query with `withIndex`. Use `by_creation` for unfiltered creation-order queries. Do not use legacy `where`, `orderBy`, `limit`, or `all`.
+- Queries and actions cannot write to the database. Use mutations or endpoints for writes. Filter user-owned data by the caller's `userId` and check ownership again before updates or deletes.
+- Guests get protected browser sessions without setup. Use `ctx.auth` on the server and `useAuth()` on the client. A user ID is not a credential. Do not invent guest IDs or check their prefixes.
+- Use `ctx.auth.requireIdentity()` for data that belongs to a guest or signed-in user. Use `ctx.auth.requireSignedIn()` for account-only operations. `isGuest` and `isSignedIn` are separate checks. Neither is true without a session.
+- Set `auth: { requireSignIn: true }` in `capsule()` to block all app data operations until sign-in. Client UI checks alone do not protect data. On the client, gate data components on `canAccessApp()` from `lakebed/client`.
+- If `auth.error` blocks access, show `retryAuth()` and Google sign-in. Retry cannot renew an expired or revoked token for a pending guest upgrade. Keep data components unmounted until auth recovers.
+- Declare Lakebed user fields with `userId()` from `lakebed/server`, never `string()`. When a guest signs in, declared `userId()` fields follow them to their account. `userId()` does not grant access. Keep owner filters and ownership checks. Make shared data intentional with a shared query, not a fake global user.
+- Use `auth.onGuestUpgrade` only for app-specific merge rules. It runs before automatic reference transfer in the same transaction. Plain strings, profile text, and external data do not transfer automatically.
+- Add Google sign-in with `SignInWithGoogle` or `signInWithGoogle()` from `lakebed/client`. For custom endpoints, send the identity token from `getIdentity().token` in the `X-Lakebed-Token` header. `Authorization` belongs to the app. Same-origin guest cookies work without that header.
+- Read server secrets through `ctx.env`, with values in `.env.lakebed.server`. They are not available at build time. Never put secrets in client or shared code. Deploy sync replaces hosted env with the file contents after the deploy is claimed.
+- Use complete Tailwind class names in JSX. Lakebed compiles CSS automatically from client files and their imports. Use inline styles for values loaded at runtime. Do not add CSS files, CSS modules, PostCSS, or a separate Tailwind build step.
+- Use the router from `lakebed/client` for pages. There is no file-based routing. Use `endpoint({ method, path }, handler)` from `lakebed/server` for webhooks and external HTTP clients. Request helpers include `headers.get(name)`, `query`, `json()`, `text()`, and `bytes()`.
+- Static capsule assets are limited to the favicon. Use `favicon.svg`, `favicon.ico`, or the `favicon` option in `capsule()`. Use `client.storage` for user uploads.
+
+## External data and dashboards
+
+Use global `fetch(url, options)` inside a handler, not `ctx.fetch`. Queries, mutations, actions, and endpoints can fetch locally and on claimed deploys. A mutation or writable endpoint can fetch external data and write rows in the same call. Data does not need to pass through the browser. Fetch shares the handler time budget and can hold up other writes, so ingest one small batch per call.
+
+Lakebed has no built-in scheduler or durable continuation queue yet. For periodic ingest, use an external scheduler to call a protected `POST` endpoint. Return a cursor for the caller to advance across separate requests. Keep `auth.requireSignIn` off for public reads and check an app secret in the ingest endpoint. CLI deploy tokens do not authenticate app endpoint callers.
+
+Database read budgets apply to the whole handler. A loop over `paginate()` does not bypass them. For totals larger than one handler can read, maintain summary rows during ingest. Store timestamps with `number()` as epoch milliseconds. See the [handler capability table](https://docs.lakebed.dev/capsule-api/index.md#handler-capabilities), [dashboard ingest example](https://docs.lakebed.dev/database/index.md#dashboard-counts), and [resource limits](https://docs.lakebed.dev/limits/index.md) before planning a backfill.
+
+## Run and verify
+
+Run commands from this capsule directory with `npx lakebed`.
+
+Start dev in a terminal session that can stay open:
+
+```sh
+npx lakebed dev
+```
+
+Keep that process running. Edit the starter to build the requested app, then test its behavior at the URL printed by dev. Use another terminal to inspect logs and data:
+
+```sh
+npx lakebed logs --port 3000
+npx lakebed db dump --port 3000
+```
+
+Use the dev server's port if it differs from 3000. Fix compile errors and runtime errors before deploying. Check user-owned data with separate browser profiles or the `?lakebed_guest=<name>` local test override when the app stores private data. Named overrides are local test identities and cannot upgrade to an account.
+
+## Deploy and verify
+
+After local checks pass, deploy from another terminal:
+
+```sh
+npx lakebed deploy
+```
+
+If the CLI requires a claim for server secrets or outbound fetch, follow its claim instructions and deploy again. A claim-required preview is not a working app.
+
+Open the returned URL and test the requested behavior. Inspect the deployed app from this capsule directory, using its returned ID or URL:
+
+```sh
+npx lakebed inspect <deploy-id-or-url>
+npx lakebed logs <deploy-id-or-url>
+```
+
+Hosted inspection is private by default. The CLI uses saved credentials. Report the working URL, the checks you ran, and the expiry if the deploy is unclaimed. Default app URLs use `lakebed.app` subdomains.
+
+## Read when needed
+
+- For server and client API details, read the [capsule API](https://docs.lakebed.dev/capsule-api/index.md).
+- For indexes and queries, read the [database guide](https://docs.lakebed.dev/database/index.md).
+- For Google sign-in and identity, read the [auth guide](https://docs.lakebed.dev/auth/index.md).
+- For user uploads, read the [storage guide](https://docs.lakebed.dev/storage/index.md).
+- For claiming, domains, and other CLI commands, read the [reference](https://docs.lakebed.dev/reference/index.md).
+- For an older capsule using synchronous database calls, read the [migration guide](https://docs.lakebed.dev/database-migration/index.md).
+- For anything else, read the [docs index](https://docs.lakebed.dev/llms.txt). It lists every page and section so you can fetch only the one you need.

+# compat-db: Frame Control's compatibility database
+
+A private [Lakebed](https://docs.lakebed.dev/) capsule holding compatibility
+reports for Android apps on the Steam Frame. Only the maintainer's copy of
+Frame Control has the key to read or write it (see `shared()` in
+`ui/frame_compat_db.py`). Everyone else's reports stay on their computer
+unless they turn on **Share compatibility results**. Then the reports also go
+to PostHog as `compat_report` events, and the maintainer syncs them in (below).
+
+## Community reports
+
+```sh
+python3 ui/frame_compat_db.py sync --dry-run   # what would be added
+python3 ui/frame_compat_db.py sync             # add them
+```
+
+`sync` reads `compat_report` events through PostHog's query API and adds
+them with `via` set to `community`, `community-probe` or `community-install`.
+It skips invalid reports and anything over 30 per reporter per day. Each run
+re-reads the last 30 days, because an offline copy sends its reports late,
+with the time they were made. `posthog-sync.json`, next to the outbox,
+remembers which reports it has handled and each reporter's daily count, so
+nothing is added twice and the cap holds across runs.
+
+It needs:
+
+- the PostHog project id: `"project"` in `ui/telemetry.json`
+- a personal API key with `query:read`: `POSTHOG_PERSONAL_API_KEY`, or in the
+  Keychain (service `frame-control-posthog`, account `personal-api-key`)
+
+- Live: `https://frame-compat.lakebed.app` (deploy `dep_dDmcsosVSiFirpW6`,
+  claimed, so it doesn't expire). The browser page only says it's private.
+- Access: `GET /v1/reports?since=<createdAt>` and `POST /v1/reports` with
+  `{"reports": [...]}`. Both need the `x-frame-control-key` header. There are
+  no Lakebed queries or mutations, so nothing else can reach the rows.
+- Key: `FRAME_CONTROL_KEY` in `.env.lakebed.server` (git-ignored, synced on
+  deploy) and in the Mac's login Keychain (service `frame-control-compat-db`,
+  account `app-key`), where `ui/frame_compat_db.py` reads it.
+- Duplicates: each report carries a `clientId`, and a report already stored is
+  skipped, so retries and restores are safe to repeat.
+- Free-plan limits: 1 MiB of data and 16,384 rows per deploy, 1,000 writes a
+  day. A report is about 300 bytes, so roughly 3,000 reports fit.
+
+## Backups
+
+`scripts/compat-db-backup.sh` exports every report through the app key and
+keeps dated copies in
+`~/Library/Application Support/Frame Control/compat-db/backups` (newest 60).
+When the data has changed, it also uploads them with `gog` to the Google
+Drive folder named by `DRIVE_FOLDER_ID` (set it in the LaunchAgent's
+`EnvironmentVariables`). A LaunchAgent runs it daily at 03:40 and logs to
+`~/Library/Logs/frame-compat-backup.log`. If an export has fewer reports than
+the last good backup (`backups/.last-good`), it's kept as `refused-*.json`,
+nothing is uploaded, and every later run refuses too until you rerun with
+`--accept-shrink`.
+
+Reports that can't be sent (unreadable outbox lines, or ones the server
+rejects, which it lists by `clientId`) are never dropped: they move to
+`~/Library/Application Support/Frame Control/compat-db/compat-outbox.jsonl.rejected`,
+with the reason.
+
+Restore (to this deploy or a new one):
+

+# Frame Control for AI agents
+
+**Documented interface:** Frame Control's own stdlib Python MCP adapter wraps
+its loopback HTTP API. No API key, hosted service, model SDK or third-party
+helper app is needed. The assistant is our HTML/Python implementation hosted
+in the platform Chromium browser. Its optional LLM endpoint is user configuration.
+Installing other apps is an optional management action, never a prerequisite.
+
+## Connect an MCP client
+
+The default MCP command starts a private HTTP backend on a free loopback port,
+with a fresh local access key. It stops that backend when the MCP client closes
+stdin or sends SIGTERM. It uses its own SSH control socket, so closing it does
+not close the desktop app's connection. No manually started server is needed.
+
+Add this stdio server to your MCP client (use absolute paths):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "frame-control": {
+      "command": "python3",
+      "args": ["/absolute/path/frame-control/ui/frame_mcp.py"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+For Codex, the equivalent registration is:
+
+```sh
+codex mcp add frame-control -- python3 /absolute/path/frame-control/ui/frame_mcp.py
+```
+
+New agent sessions load the entry. An already running session may need its MCP
+connections reloaded; registration does not retroactively add tools to its
+initial tool inventory. Keep the checkout at that path while it is registered.
+Use `codex mcp remove frame-control` to remove only this registration.
+
+To reuse a running server instead, pass `--url http://127.0.0.1:47810`.
+The desktop app uses a random port; use that port with `--url`, or run the
+checkout server above. If the HTTP server uses `FRAME_UI_KEY`, pass the same
+value in the MCP process environment. This is local access control, not an LLM
+API key. The adapter only accepts loopback HTTP servers, refuses redirects and
+ignores environment proxies. Stdout contains newline-delimited JSON-RPC only.
+It supports MCP initialization, ping, tool listing and tool calls; no sampling,
+resources, prompts or streaming transport.
+
+| Tool | Arguments | Effect |
+|---|---|---|
+| `computer_state` | none | Read-only gamescope window IDs/focus and bounded AT-SPI tree; reports incomplete observations |
+| `status` | none | Battery, services, installed games and Flatpaks |
+| `screenshot` | `view`: `headset` (default) or `desktop` | Returns PNG image content to the MCP client |
+| `job` | `id` | Background install status; poll until `done`, inspect `error` |
+| `launch` | `appid` | Launch an installed Steam app |
+| `install` / `uninstall` | `id` | Install from Flathub / remove a user Flatpak |
+| `send_text` | `text` | Frame desktop clipboard; desktop must be open |
+| `send_file` | `path` | File on the HTTP server computer, up to 16 MiB, copied to Frame `~/Downloads` |
+| `panel` | `id` | Launch an installed Flatpak as a panel using the existing launcher |
+| `power` | `action`: `suspend`, `reboot`, `poweroff` | Open a terminal for the user to enter the sudo password |
+| `keep_awake` | `action`: `on`, `off`, `status` | Optional keep-awake script interface |
+
+Only install free software with its developer's consent. There is no purchase,
+entitlement bypass or arbitrary shell tool. `install` returns a background job
+ID; it does not claim the installation has finished. APK and sideloaded title
+installs remain in the main UI for now.
+
+### Approval is a separate human action
+
+Every mutation first returns an `approvalUrl`, exact action and `confirmation`
+token. Ask the user to open that URL and choose **Approve this action** or
+**Reject**. Then repeat the same tool and arguments with the token in
+`confirmation`. The server refuses execution before approval, changed arguments,
+expired tokens and reuse. A file approval binds the content hash as well as the
+path. Approvals last five minutes and disappear when the HTTP server restarts.
+A failed execution also consumes the approval; review a fresh request to retry.
+The panel does not execute an action merely because it was approved.
+
+MCP has no approval tool. This is protection against accidental model tool
+calls, not a sandbox against a client with independent shell/HTTP access to your
+computer. Grant the MCP client only the access you intend. Status, captures and computer-state observations
+are returned directly to that client, which may forward them to its configured
+model. The assistant's separate opt-in does not govern an external MCP client.
+
+Power still requires the existing password prompt in a local terminal. MCP
+never receives passwords. Power via `FRAME_LOCAL=1` is unsupported: use the main
+UI. The panel launcher and keep-awake adapter require zsh on the computer.
+
+[PR #16](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/16) owns
+`scripts/keep-awake.sh on|off|status`. This branch does not copy or change it.
+Until that script is present, the tool reports it unavailable. Keep-awake is
+never automatic: `on` changes the shared idle timers; explicitly approve `off`
+to restore them after work. It is not a per-agent lease; coordinate with other
+users. No changes are made to the analytics/update interfaces in
+[PR #17](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/17). Prompts, keys, model
+replies, screenshots and approval payloads are not sent to analytics.
+
+## Assistant panel
+
+Open **Settings** (the gear in the header) **→ Open assistant settings**, or `http://127.0.0.1:47810/assistant`.
+To put the same page in the headset, with the HTTP server still running:
+
+```sh
+python3 scripts/assistant-on-frame.py --port 47810
+```
+
+This starts an SSH reverse forward bound to Frame loopback (port 47812 by
+default), then a dedicated Chromium profile tagged as a SteamVR panel. Keep the
+command running. Ctrl-C closes this browser profile and the tunnel; it leaves
+other Chromium windows and the existing HTTP server alone. A failed cleanup
+prints the temporary profile path so it can be removed when the Frame returns.
+Use `--frame-port` if the default is busy. Chromium must already be available as
+`org.chromium.Chromium`; the launcher never installs anything automatically.
+Place the panel with SteamVR's normal docking controls.
+
+Enter your full **chat-completions endpoint**, model name and optional key.
+An OpenAI-compatible local server works without a key; no OpenAI account is
+required. HTTP is allowed only on loopback; other endpoints require HTTPS.
+Loopback refers to the computer running the HTTP server, even in the headset.
+Endpoints with embedded credentials, query strings or redirects are refused.
+
+Check the message consent box and press **Send message**. Screenshot context is
+a separate unchecked box and sends one fresh capture with that request. Both
+boxes reset after sending, and changing endpoint/model revokes consent. Nothing
+is sent when opening the page or entering configuration. There is no model
+list fetch, saved history, automatic screenshot capture or assistant telemetry.
+Each send is independent: previous messages and replies are not included.
+
+Configuration, credentials and chat remain in page memory; close/reload the page
+or choose **Clear everything** to clear them. A request already sent cannot be
+recalled. Only the chosen endpoint gets the request; proxy environment variables
+and redirects are disabled. Its privacy and retention policy still applies.
+Replies are plain text and cannot call tools or operate the Frame. A model must
+support image inputs to accept screenshot context.
+
+## Evidence and limits
+
+**Verified 2026-09-28, SteamOS 0.4.1, BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901:** loopback HTTP
+status through an SSH reverse tunnel; platform Chromium created a separate
+SteamVR panel (confirmed in `GAMESCOPE_FOCUSABLE_APPS`); headset capture returned
+a PNG. These checks preceded the UI implementation. No power or global settings
+were changed.
+
+**Inferred:** visual comfort and controller keyboard usability while wearing
+the headset; panel creation in gamescope alone does not establish these.
+Windows/Linux launcher support, live third-party model endpoints, installs,
+uninstalls, power and keep-awake changes are not covered by that feasibility
+check. See the PR for the final unit and end-to-end results.
+
+**Verified end to end on the same Frame/build (2026-09-28):** a stdio MCP client
+initialized, read status, retrieved a headset PNG, and transferred a test file
+only after approval through the Chromium page. Remote file bytes matched;
+reusing the confirmation was rejected. The actual headset Chromium page sent
+text and then separately opted-in image context to a local test endpoint and
+displayed its replies. Without consent there were zero endpoint requests.
+The test endpoint returned canned replies: model inference and a live external
+provider remain **unverified**. The launcher’s Ctrl-C cleanup was checked;
+profiles, SSH tunnels and the test file were removed. No installs, removals,
+launches of user games, power operations or keep-awake changes were performed.
+
+**Verified locally:** unit coverage includes the stdio subprocess, approval
+binding/expiry/replay/concurrency, file-change rejection, and a real local HTTP
+endpoint for opt-in, text/image payloads and redirect refusal. Fake-Frame
+regressions are in `tests/e2e/test_agents.py`; local Docker execution was blocked
+because the Docker daemon was unavailable. The ARM64 fake-Frame CI job passed
+on this branch (run 36421345682).
+
+**Verified on the same Frame/build:** both Ctrl-C and SIGTERM close the dedicated
+browser profile and SSH tunnel and remove the profile and panel log.
+
+**Verified end to end on the same Frame/build (2026-09-29), with mutations:**
+a stdio MCP client started `ui/frame_mcp.py` in its default mode (private
+backend, no API key, no prestarted server) and a human approved or rejected
+each change in the approval page in a real Chrome window:
+
+| Tool | Result on the Frame |
+|---|---|
+| `send_file` | Approved; the file arrived in `~/Downloads` with identical contents |
+| `install` | Approved; `io.github.fizzyizzy05.binary` job finished in about 35 s |
+| `panel` | Approved; gamescope listed a new panel window, and `computer_state` reported the same window ID and PID. The app rendered in that window (below) |
+| `launch` | Approved; Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes (341800) started under Proton and `computer_state` reported it as the focused app |
+| `uninstall` | Approved; app and locale removed |
+| `power` | Rejected in the page. Unapproved retries, the same token used for `uninstall`, and a retry after rejection were all refused. Nothing was powered off |
+| `send_text` | Approved, then refused because the Plasma desktop was not open (documented requirement) |
+| `keep_awake` | `status` reports the script unavailable until PR #16 lands |
+
+A separate Claude Code CLI session, with only this server configured, read
+status, `computer_state` and a headset capture, and requested an install. It
+received an approval URL and did not execute anything.
+
+The assistant opened as a Frame panel through `scripts/assistant-on-frame.py`.
+Against a loopback stub model, a send without consent made zero requests. With
+consent it made exactly one, carrying the text and a fresh Frame screenshot.
+Consent unticked itself after sending. SIGTERM removed the panel, profile, log
+and tunnel.
+
+**Not verified while unworn:** every headset capture was a uniform dark frame,
+so SteamVR's rendered view of panels and the game could not be checked; window
+captures (`xwd`) were used instead. MCP can launch a game or panel but has no
+tool to stop one: the tester stopped them over SSH. Removing an app leaves any
+runtime it pulled in; Flatpak may also remove related extensions when that
+runtime is removed by hand.

+
+## Computer-use coverage
+
+MCP is the tool transport, not a limit on what an agent can do. A screenshot,
+accessibility snapshot, click or keystroke can all be MCP tools when we have a
+reliable underlying implementation. See [the investigation](computer-use.md)
+for the verified boundaries. `computer_state` adds observation, not an input
+channel: it cannot click an approval button or send keyboard/mouse events.
+
+**Verified 2026-09-29, SteamOS 0.4.1, BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901:** the command saved
+by `codex mcp add` launched without a prestarted server, negotiated MCP, listed
+12 tools, read live Frame status and returned X11 window state plus AT-SPI
+observations. It exited 0 at EOF. Steam's accessibility tree had inaccessible
+children, reported as `incomplete: true`; this is not a complete actionable UI.

+# 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 base APK, any supported splits, 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 base APK, supported native-library or asset splits, and
+standard OBB files for one game at a time. It checks the package and version in
+each split manifest before touching the headset. The existing Quest merger
+rejects resource, code and feature splits and sets with multiple device
+variants. A merged APK is re-signed; that can affect a game's licence or login.
+XAPK/APKS/APKM archives use the same checks. Nested Android/data folders and
+private save archives remain unsupported. 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
+install/start/copy/close sequence. Reopening its persistent instance confirmed
+both SHA-256 hashes in `/sdcard/Android/obb/org.fdroid.basic`. The test app,
+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.
+The supported-split backup route was checked with generated local fixtures and
+existing merger tests, not a real split game on the Frame.

+# Announcing changes
+
+How we tell people about Frame Control features and fixes as they merge. The
+same few sentences feed the X post, the release notes and the website, so they
+are written once, in the pull request, while the change is fresh.
+
+## What gets announced
+
+| Kind | Announce? | Example |
+|---|---|---|
+| **New** — something you can now do | Yes, its own post | Stream Mac windows into the Frame as panels |
+| **Better** — something existing got noticeably easier, faster or wider | Yes, its own post or a roundup | APKs install without the Android SDK |
+| **Fixed** — something broken that users hit | Yes if people reported it or it blocked a flow; otherwise the next roundup | Mac mirror showed a zoomed-in corner |
+| **Release** — a tagged build | Always, one post linking the release | Frame Control 0.3.1 |
+| Tests, refactors, CI, docs-only, website polish | No | Fake Frame tests, screenshot crop |
+
+If a change isn't worth a sentence to someone who owns a Frame, it isn't
+announced.
+
+## The voice
+
+Write it the way the README and release notes already read.
+
+- **Lead with what the person can now do**, in their words: "Install older
+  versions of an app when the newest won't run on the Frame", not "Add APK
+  version fallback resolver".
+- **Plain and specific.** Name the thing, give the number: "about 30 fps",
+  "4,500 apps", "up to 8 older versions". No "blazing", "game-changing",
+  "excited to announce", "huge", or exclamation marks.
+- **Say where it works.** Platforms and what it was tested on, briefly:
+  "Tested on a real Frame from macOS 27." Don't claim what wasn't tested.
+- **Say the catch.** If it needs a setup step, an unsigned build, or only works
+  on one OS, say so in the same post.
+- **Sentence case**, full sentences, British spelling to match the docs.
+  Contractions are fine.
+- **No emoji in the text.** One image, GIF or short clip carries the tone
+  instead. The only symbol is the kind label below.
+- **Unofficial, always.** Never imply Valve made or endorses it. Say "Steam
+  Frame" for the headset and "Frame Control" for the app.
+- **Credit people.** If a user reported the bug or suggested the feature and is
+  happy to be named, thank them by handle.
+
+## The formats
+
+Every announceable PR ends with an `## Announcement` section holding these.
+The reviewer checks it like code.
+
+### 1. The post (X, and any other social account)
+
+```
+<Kind>: <what you can do now, one sentence>
+
+<one or two sentences: how it works, the catch, or what it was tested on>
+
+<link>
+```
+
+- `<Kind>` is `New`, `Better` or `Fixed`.
+- 280 characters maximum including the link (X counts any link as 23).
+- One link: the release if it has shipped, otherwise the PR.
+- One visual when the change is visible: a screenshot from the app, a GIF, or a
+  short clip from the headset. Alt text describes what it shows.
+- No hashtags, except `#SteamFrame` on releases and on posts about something
+  new, because people search for it.
+
+### 2. The release-note line
+
+One bullet under **New in x.y.z**, same as the current release notes: the
+first half of the post's first sentence, no kind label, no link.
+
+### 3. Release post
+
+```
+Frame Control <version>: <the headline change>
+
+<one sentence on the headline change>. Also: <two or three short items>.
+
+Windows, macOS and Linux: <release link>
+#SteamFrame
+```
+
+The release title on GitHub uses the same `Frame Control <version>: <headline>`
+line, as 0.3.0 and 0.3.1 already do.
+
+### Roundups
+
+Small fixes that don't earn their own post wait for a roundup, posted with the
+next release or when three or more have piled up:
+
+```
+Fixed in Frame Control this week:
+- <fix>
+- <fix>
+- <fix>
+
+<link>
+```
+
+## Examples from what has already merged
+
+**#11, older APK versions**
+
+```
+New: when an Android app is too new for the Frame, Frame Control now offers
+older versions that will install.
+
+It checks F-Droid, its archive and IzzyOnDroid, and verifies each download
+before it goes on the headset.
+
+https://github.com/saphid/steam-frame/pull/11
+```
+
+**#8, Mac mirror fixes**
+
+```
+Fixed: mirroring your Mac into the Steam Frame now fits the whole desktop in
+the panel, asks for the right password, and shows the cursor.
+
+Tested end to end on a real Frame from macOS 27.
+
+https://github.com/saphid/steam-frame/pull/8
+```
+
+**v0.3.1**
+
+```
+Frame Control 0.3.1: install APKs without the Android SDK
+
+Frame Control now reads APK files itself, so there's nothing extra to install.
+Also: Linux and Windows game sideloading, and one-click install links.
+
+Windows, macOS and Linux: https://github.com/saphid/steam-frame/releases/tag/v0.3.1
+#SteamFrame
+```
+
+## Posting
+
+Nothing is posted without a person approving it. The flow is:
+
+1. The PR carries its `## Announcement` section.
+2. On merge, the post is drafted from that section (manually for now).
+3. Alex approves or edits it, then it's posted from the project account.
+4. Replies and questions that turn out to be bugs become GitHub issues labelled
+   `feedback`, same as the website form.

+# APK repositories
+
+Frame Control supports **F-Droid-format repositories**, including F-Droid,
+F-Droid archive, IzzyOnDroid and user-provided HTTPS repositories. Repository
+indexes are authenticated before their apps appear. Search lists builds with
+Android API ≤30 and arm64-v8a or no native libraries, using the same streaming
+reducer as the existing catalogue. This does not guarantee an app works in Lepton.
+
+## Formats considered
+
+| Format | Users and purpose | Support in this source |
+|---|---|---|
+| F-Droid v2 | F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, self-hosted fdroidserver repositories; consumed by F-Droid clients including Droid-ify and Neo Store | Preferred: signed `entry.jar` authenticates `entry.json`; its SHA-256 authenticates `index-v2.json`, which supplies APK SHA-256 hashes |
+| F-Droid v1 | Older F-Droid servers and clients | Fallback: verify `index-v1.jar`, then read its signed `index-v1.json` |
+| Obtainium configurations / exports | Obtainium users share app URLs plus source-specific filters and update settings; exports can contain a list of app configuration objects | Not imported here: configurations describe how to find releases, not one signed repository index |
+| SideQuest listings / custom feeds | SideQuest's own app discovery and installation service | No interoperable signed custom-repository specification was established from the public project documentation examined; SideQuest needs its own adapter |
+| GitHub release lists | Developers publish APK assets on release pages; community lists link to projects | Not a repository standard: asset naming, build selection and publisher verification vary; handled separately from this F-Droid source |
+| Minimal JSON list | A private list could contain package, title, APK URL and SHA-256 | Deliberately not introduced: unsigned hashes downloaded alongside files do not authenticate their publisher; another bespoke signing/update protocol would duplicate F-Droid |

+
+## Add a repository in Frame Control
+
+From the Frame Control checkout, use its source-management CLI:
+
+```sh
+python3 ui/apk_sources/fdroid.py add 'https://example.org/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=YOUR_64_HEX_CERTIFICATE_FINGERPRINT' --name 'My apps'
+python3 ui/apk_sources/fdroid.py list
+python3 ui/apk_sources/fdroid.py search SOURCE_ID 'music'
+python3 ui/apk_sources/fdroid.py download SOURCE_ID org.example.app
+python3 ui/apk_sources/fdroid.py remove SOURCE_ID
+```
+
+Replace `SOURCE_ID` with the `id` printed by `add` or `list`. `--fingerprint`
+can also supply the pin. `fdroidrepos://example.org/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=…`
+links are accepted and converted to HTTPS. Conflicting fingerprints are refused.
+A URL must identify the repository directory, not its website or an index file.
+
+Adding fetches and validates the complete index **before saving** the source.
+Without a fingerprint, Frame Control verifies the JAR signature and remembers
+its signer: trust on first use (TOFU). This establishes continuity with the
+first server response, not independent publisher identity. Obtain the published
+fingerprint through a trusted channel when possible; the store's Add a source
+form shows the pinned one ("Trusted on first use: …") so you can compare it.
+Re-adding an existing URL preserves its pin; changing it requires deliberately
+removing and re-adding it.
+
+### Repositories behind a login
+
+Some self-hosted repositories sit behind HTTP basic auth. As in F-Droid's own
+client, the login can be part of the address
+(`https://user:pass@example.org/fdroid/repo`), or given separately: in the
+store's **Add a source** form under "This repository needs a login", in the
+server API (`username` and `password` beside `url`), or on the command line,
+where the password is read from standard input so it stays out of shell history
+and `ps`:
+
+```sh
+printf '%s\n' "$PASSWORD" | python3 ui/apk_sources/fdroid.py add 'https://example.org/fdroid/repo' --username me --password-stdin
+```
+
+How the login is kept and used:
+
+- **Kept out of the address.** The `user:pass@` part is removed before anything
+  is saved, so the saved repository URL, its id, the source list, job results
+  and the page never contain it. The store only says "Uses a login".
+- **Stored separately.** Logins live in
+  `frame_host.data_dir('source-credentials.json')`
+  (`~/Library/Application Support/Frame Control/source-credentials.json` on
+  macOS), written with mode 0600 and keyed by source id. They are stored in
+  plain text there, protected by file permissions only (on Windows,
+  the folder's normal ACLs). Removing the repository deletes its login, and
+  the file goes when the last login is removed. Each change holds a lock
+  file (`source-credentials.lock`), so the app and the command line can't undo
+  each other's saves or removals.
+- **HTTPS only.** An `http://` address with a login is refused before any request.
+- **Inside the repository only.** The `Authorization` header is decided
+  separately for every request, redirects included: index, `entry.jar`,
+  APKs and the store's artwork proxy. It is sent only when the request's
+  scheme, host and port match the repository's and its path is inside the
+  repository's directory by whole path segments. A redirect to another host
+  or port, or to another path on the same server, gets no login, and that
+  request's own `Authorization` header is removed. Paths with `.` or `..`
+  segments (plain or percent-encoded), encoded `/` or `\`, double encoding
+  or `;` get no login, since a server could normalise them to a path
+  outside the repository. Index file names like that are refused outright.
+- **Never echoed.** Logins are not written to logs, error messages, API
+  responses or the cache. The CLI prints only the saved source.
+- **Checked before saving.** As with any repository, the whole index must
+  download and verify before anything is saved. HTTP 401 (or 403 when a login
+  was sent) stops the add with "check the username and password" and saves
+  nothing: no repository, no login, no rollback state. A 403 with a login is
+  not treated as rate limiting.
+- **Same verification.** The login changes only who may download. Signature,
+  fingerprint pin or TOFU, index hash and rollback checks apply exactly as for
+  any other repository.
+
+Re-adding the same address with a new login replaces the saved one. Re-adding
+it without a login keeps the saved one.
+
+The API for the search/server integration is in `ui/apk_sources/fdroid.py`:
+`add_repo(url, fingerprint=None, name=None, username=None, password=None)`, `remove_repo(source_id)`,
+`set_enabled(source_id, enabled)`, and `user_repos()`. The module also exposes
+`sources`, `search`, `details`, and `download` from the shared source contract.
+This change supplies the CLI and API; the integrated source-management UI is
+separate work. Built-in sources can be disabled but cannot be removed.
+
+Settings and pins live in `frame_host.data_dir('apk-repos.json')`
+(`~/Library/Application Support/Frame Control/apk-repos.json` on macOS).
+Authenticated reduced indexes and APKs live under
+`frame_host.cache_dir('apk-sources')`; indexes refresh after 24 hours. An
+expired index is still served (marked stale in the store) while it refreshes in
+the background; a failed refresh is retried after 10 minutes.
+Only the running Frame Control app prunes cached APKs (at start and after store
+downloads); the command-line tools never do.
+The existing catalogue's unverified index cache is never treated as authenticated.
+
+Rollback protection: each repository's newest accepted signed index timestamp
+is kept in `apk-repo-state.json` next to the settings, and an older index is
+refused. Once a repository has served a v2 `entry.jar`, a missing `entry.jar`
+is an error rather than a reason to fall back to `index-v1.jar`. `entry.jar`
+must be signed with SHA-2 (SHA-1 is still accepted for legacy `index-v1.jar`).
+Removing a repository clears its state.
+
+## Publish your own repository
+
+Only publish free APKs you own or have the developer's permission to distribute.
+Do not publish paid app mirrors or bypass store licences. Check distribution
+terms before adding someone else's repository; this module does not infer legal
+permission from a signature or automatically audit a repository's terms.
+
+Install a current [fdroidserver](https://f-droid.org/docs/Installing_the_Server_and_Repo_Tools/)
+and its documented Android/Java dependencies on the publishing machine, then:
+
+```sh
+mkdir my-fdroid
+cd my-fdroid
+fdroid init
+# Set repo_url in config.yml to https://example.org/fdroid/repo
+# Also set repo_name and repo_description; keep the generated signing key safe.
+cp /path/to/your-free-app.apk repo/
+fdroid update --create-metadata
+# Review the generated metadata (name, summary, licence, source and website).
+fdroid update
+```
+
+Serve the generated **repo directory** at that HTTPS URL, including APKs,
+icons, `entry.jar`, `index-v2.json` and `index-v1.jar`. Do not publish the
+private signing keystore or configuration passwords. Configure fdroidserver's
+`serverwebroot` and run `fdroid deploy` for managed publication, or copy the
+public directory with your existing deployment tool. Publish the SHA-256
+repository certificate fingerprint displayed by fdroidserver in a link such as
+`https://example.org/fdroid/repo?fingerprint=…`.
+
+Keep the repository signing key backed up: changing it breaks existing pins.
+For updates, add the new APK, edit metadata as needed, run `fdroid update` and
+publish again. Test the published URL with Frame Control's `add`, `search` and
+`download` commands. The above publisher setup is documented from fdroidserver;
+it was not executed as part of this implementation.
+
+## Verification and limits
+
+The stdlib verifier supports one RSA PKCS#1 v1.5 JAR/CMS signer with a key of
+2048–8192 bits; SHA-256/384/512 and legacy SHA-1 digest encodings are
+recognized. It checks the signer certificate pin, the signature over `.SF`,
+the whole-manifest digest, and the manifest's digest of the JSON member.
+ECDSA, DSA, RSA-PSS, multiple signers and section-only `.SF` manifests are
+rejected. Certificates are pinned identities, not validated as Web PKI chains.
+HTTPS certificates are separately checked by Python's normal TLS validation.
+
+v1 fallback occurs only when `entry.jar` returns HTTP 404 or 410. Signature,
+fingerprint, index hash, TLS and server errors never trigger an unsigned
+fallback. APKs are cached by SHA-256 and checked again before reuse. Here,
+`verified: true` means the bytes match the signed repository's APK hash; it
+is not an independent APK publisher-signature or runtime compatibility verdict.
+There is no repository timestamp rollback/expiry policy or automated signing-key
+rotation yet. An old correctly signed index can still validate.
+
+Offline fixtures exercise v2, v1, TOFU, pin changes, disabled sources, cache
+reuse, URL rejection and corruption of every signature/hash layer. On the Mac,
+the real IzzyOnDroid repository was added with its published pin, searched for
+Tiny Music Player, and its 16,520-byte APK downloaded with SHA-256
+`d7bcb24d101b04beb3394b695b24be4e2c3d6ed702f1d0e06bc4dd707f64d86a`.
+No headset connection or installation was performed.

+# Developer-consented APK sources
+
+Surveyed 2026-09-28. Free access is not proof of redistribution permission or
+Frame compatibility. These adapters fetch only public publisher releases or
+link to publisher pages. They do not acquire store entitlements, defeat access
+checks, install anything, or rehost APKs. See [VR compatibility](vr-apks.md).
+
+| Source | Developer consent and automated-access position | API/feed; VR coverage | Decision |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| [itch.io](https://itch.io/docs/legal/terms) | Publishers warrant distribution rights (§4). Users may access content through the service; this is not blanket scraping permission. Main robots excludes `/game/download/`; author subdomains exclude `/*/download/`. No challenge bypass. | Public free Android RSS for `openxr` and `oculus-quest`; substantial indie VR. Server API is mostly authenticated publisher/account functionality, not a general anonymous store-download API. | Implement RSS search, artwork and page links; `downloadable: False`. The supplied free-download script follows keyed download pages excluded by robots, so it is not shipped. |
+| [GitHub releases](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/releases/releases) | Maintainers publish assets; curated repositories below establish provenance. Public hosting or an open-source topic alone does not establish rights to every uploaded binary. Use supported REST API under [API terms](https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-terms-of-service#h-api-terms), not HTML crawling. | Releases API includes APK assets and sometimes SHA-256. Topic search finds OpenXR/Quest projects. 60 unauthenticated requests/hour; authenticated user limits are generally 5,000/hour, with separate search/secondary limits. | Implement curated downloads and explicit topic discovery. Unreviewed topic results are page-only. |
+| [Uptodown](https://www.uptodown.com/aboutus) | Developer distribution program exists, but that does not prove publisher authorization for every catalog item. [Privacy policy](https://www.uptodown.com/aboutus/privacy) explicitly describes protection against automated access. General automation permission was not established. | Broad Android catalog, limited VR focus; no supported public consumer-download API established in this survey. | Page links only; no downloader. Do not infer consent from an unchanged APK signature. |
+| [APKPure](https://apkpure.com/terms) | Third-party APK catalog; individual publisher consent and automation rights were not established. Terms request returned HTTP 403; no bypass attempted. | Broad Android coverage, incidental VR; internal endpoints are not permission to automate. | Exclude automatic indexing/downloading; user may open site. |
+| [APKMirror](https://www.apkmirror.com/faq/) | Publisher-signed files and a free-app policy are not a blanket developer-consent or automation grant. FAQ request returned HTTP 403, so current terms could not be confirmed. | General Android/version archive; APK bundles often need another installer; little VR focus. No supported consumer-download API established. | Page links only, no scraping or bundle conversion. |
+| [Aptoide](https://en.aptoide.com/company/legal) | Terms define an app supplier as developer, owner or authorized distributor; user stores still require per-item provenance. API availability alone does not settle third-party access rights. | API ecosystem and general Android catalog; weak VR focus. | Defer until a publisher-owned store and its API terms can be approved. No blanket community-store downloader. |
+| [Amazon Appstore](https://developer.amazon.com/docs/app-submission/understanding-submission.html) | Official developer submissions; store account, device and license rules apply. Publisher submission APIs do not authorize public binary extraction. | Fire-device distribution; Android-device Appstore support ended in 2025; little Quest relevance. | Official product links only; no account or entitlement extraction. |
+| [PICO / ByteDance store](https://developer.picoxr.com/document/distribute) | Official publisher channel with store/device entitlements. No public unauthenticated binary-download grant established; documentation request encountered a redirect error. | Strong standalone VR; PICO builds may depend on PICO services/extensions. | Store links only. A developer's independently published GitHub/itch build can qualify separately. |
+| [Meta Horizon Store / former App Lab](https://www.meta.com/experiences/) | Official developer submissions. A free store entitlement is still an entitlement; no license bypass or authenticated store extraction. App Lab was folded into the main store in 2024. | Strongest Quest coverage; no supported anonymous APK-download API established. | Store links only; independently distributed free builds use their publisher source. |
+| [Khronos samples](https://github.com/KhronosGroup/OpenXR-SDK-Source) | Official upstream, Apache-2.0 sample; developer-published release APKs. GitHub API terms apply. | `hello_xr` Vulkan/OpenGL ES APKs; excellent OpenXR diagnostics. | Included in GitHub curated list, Vulkan variant selected. |
+| [Meta OpenXR samples](https://github.com/meta-quest/Meta-OpenXR-SDK) | Official upstream; check each sample's license. Source availability does not imply a published APK, and some samples require Meta extensions/services. | Source/build examples, inconsistent ready-made APK releases. | Link to upstream; add specific free APKs only after release/provenance review. |
+| [Godot XR demos](https://github.com/GodotVR/godot-xr-tools) | Official project source and publisher demo pages; licenses and dependencies vary by demo. | OpenXR examples on GitHub/itch. Older Godot builds can fail on Lepton's missing clipboard service. | Covered by source discovery; no compatibility promise from an OpenXR tag. |
+
+The table distinguishes observed restrictions from unknown permission. An
+unverified policy is a reason to defer automation, not a claim that a site is
+unlawful. Only the two implemented source kinds are registered by their own
+`sources()` functions; the other rows are recommendations, not new UI entries.
+
+## Adapters
+
+`ui/apk_sources/github.py` uses `github_curated.json`: Khronos `hello_xr`,
+[Open Brush](https://github.com/icosa-foundation/open-brush), and
+[SuperTux 3D](https://github.com/SgtBilko76/SuperTux-3D). These have official
+OpenXR project/release evidence, not a blanket claim of headset compatibility.
+Open Brush's compatibility evidence is recorded in [vr-apks.md](vr-apks.md).
+Open Brush and SuperTux publish the selected builds as prereleases; curated
+opt-ins preserve that label in version records. Exact APK filename patterns
+avoid downloading desktop archives or alternate non-Quest builds.
+[OpenSaberPlus](https://github.com/arpruss/OpenSaberPlus) was examined but not
+curated: GitHub reports its license as `NOASSERTION`, and current OpenXR APK
+provenance was not established in this pass.
+
+Default GitHub search is offline against this small list. Queries
+`topic:openxr`, `topic:oculus-quest`, and `topic:quest` explicitly call repository
+search. Results outside the curated list stay page-only, even if a repository
+claims an open-source license. This prevents an arbitrary tagged mirror from
+becoming a trusted downloader. Extend the curated JSON after provenance review.
+
+For a higher API quota, add a GitHub access token in the store's source
+settings (the GitHub row's token field) or through the server API
+(`POST /api/sources` with `action: "set-token"` or `"clear-token"` and
+`source: "github"`). `FRAME_GITHUB_TOKEN` in the process environment still
+works and wins over a saved token. A saved token is kept with repository
+logins in `source-credentials.json` (mode 0600, see
+[APK repositories](apk-repos.md#repositories-behind-a-login)). The source list
+reports only whether a token is set, where it came from and whether GitHub
+rejected it, never its value. Tokens are sent as `Authorization: Bearer` only to
+`api.github.com`, never written to the cache, never sent to asset hosts (public
+release downloads don't need them), and removed on redirects. If GitHub answers
+401 to the token, the request is retried once without it, as Obtainium does.
+The rejection is logged without the token and shown in source settings. The
+token is not tried again until it is saved again or the app restarts. Rate-limit
+backoff is kept per login (anonymous, or each token), so saving a token after
+anonymous requests were limited lets the next request go out with it. The
+adapter does not read `gh` credentials automatically. Metadata is cached for one hour under
+`frame_host.cache_dir('apk-sources', 'publisher')`. A cold details request
+fetches at most ten releases. Rate-limit errors are surfaced without retry
+loops. Asset IDs and release tags are not Android version codes: metadata
+leaves the latter unknown and rejects a requested `version_code` rather than
+silently fetching a different build.
+
+`itch.py` exposes separate OpenXR and Quest feed sources, so one feed's failure
+does not suppress the other at the aggregator level. Queries filter the current
+feed window locally: this is not an exhaustive historical itch search. Only
+explicit zero-price Android entries are returned. Covers are exposed in
+`images`; absent screenshots, APK version, ABI and minimum SDK stay unknown.
+Curated GitHub entries include publisher artwork and plain-language summaries.
+Repository image URLs are pinned to inspected commits. Open Brush screenshots
+come from its README-linked Steam listing; SuperTux uses the upstream gameplay
+preview embedded in the port's README (not a headset capture). The hello_xr
+sample has a launcher icon and GitHub social banner; no published screenshot
+was found in the inspected repository/README, so its screenshot list is empty.
+Uncurated topic results use the owner's avatar and GitHub's repository social
+preview. These are repository placeholders, not app screenshots. Itch's recorded
+RSS includes only covers, so screenshot lists remain empty without page scraping. VR is
+based on curated evidence or a VR-specific feed/topic, not a compatibility claim.
+
+Downloads stream to unique temporary files, require an APK manifest entry,
+restrict HTTPS origins and redirects, and enforce a 2 GiB ceiling. `verified`
+means the downloaded SHA-256 matches GitHub's published digest. Without such a
+digest, the computed SHA-256 is returned with `verified: False`; neither value
+claims publisher-signature validation. Installation must inspect the APK as
+usual. OBBs, split APKs, paid assets and external release-body download links
+are unsupported.
+
+## Evidence and limits
+
+On this Mac, Python 3.9 downloaded the real Khronos Vulkan 1.1.63 APK through
+the GitHub adapter, matched its published SHA-256
+`f24bbe8ba6f6339fca658628868ba8189cbc33390d6ac508f69d76fb67b5fa34`, and
+`python3 ui/frame_android.py info <apk>` exited 0: package
+`org.khronos.openxr.hello_xr.vulkan`, version code 1063, minimum API 24,
+arm64-v8a present, OpenXR detected. No Frame connection or installation occurred.
+
+The itch OpenXR RSS was fetched successfully and recorded as a fixture.
+Subsequent live adapter search encountered HTTP 429; it is not claimed as a
+successful live end-to-end search. Fixture search finds Off Nominal and parses
+nine Android entries from the ten-item feed (one has only an HTML platform).
+A real itch download and APK inspection were deliberately not performed:
+robots restrictions take precedence over that requested proof. No current
+policy text is claimed verified where the table records failed access.
+
+Tests use recorded, reduced API/RSS fixtures with network access blocked in
+the new test class. They cover selection, prereleases, unknown topic results,
+paid/non-Android exclusion, URL restrictions, redirect credential removal,
+caching, rate limits, checksum mismatch, non-APK rejection and partial-file
+cleanup. See `.claude/NOTES-more-sources.md` for commands and local evidence.

+# Installing APKs (Lepton)
+
+The confidence labels are the same as in [ssh.md](ssh.md). Android apps run
+in **Lepton**, Valve's Waydroid-based container. Lepton is built for games,
+not general Android use
+([GamingOnLinux](https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2026/09/lepton-from-valve-to-run-android-games-on-linux-is-now-open-source/)).
+
+**VR streaming clients:** WiVRn 26.9 and ALVR 20.14.1 install, but both fail
+OpenXR instance creation on the checked Frame because its Android runtime lacks
+`XR_KHR_convert_timespec_time` (**verified** 2026-09-28, SteamOS 0.4.1,
+BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901). They are not Frame Control dependencies. See
+[the feasibility results and options](linux-vr-streaming.md).
+
+## Install from the Mac: one app, one Lepton instance (verified 2026-09-25)
+
+Use Frame Control's **Android apps** section (search, Install, Test, Report), drop
+an `.apk` on **Send to Frame**, or:
+
+```sh
+./scripts/install-apk.sh some-app.apk            # own instance, Steam shortcut
+python3 ui/frame_android.py list|launch|stop|remove|probe <package>
+```
+
+Each APK becomes its own app, the way T3 Code is set up (see the instance
+section below), instead of going into Lepton Development:
+
+1. `ui/frame_apk.py` reads the package, label, version, ABIs and icon
+   (a stdlib parser of the binary manifest and resource table, so no Android SDK). APKs that need
+   API > 30 or have no `arm64-v8a` build are refused.
+2. The APK, `frame/android/lepton-app.sh` (as `launch.sh`), `instance.id`,
+   `meta.json`, the icon and the `lepton-show-flatscreen` marker go to
+   `~/Applications/Android/<package>/` on the Frame.
+3. A non-Steam shortcut is added through Steam's CEF debug port
+   (`frame/android/steam_shortcuts.py`), with no Steam restart.
+4. Launching the shortcut runs Lepton directly with `SteamAppId` set to the
+   instance id (`2800000000 + crc32(package) % 70000000`). That's a
+   "steamlaunch" context, so app data in `compatdata/<id>/internal` survives
+   restarts and updates, and each app gets its own SteamVR panel. Several can
+   run at once alongside Lepton Development, each in its own container
+   (`lepton-steamlaunch-<id>`, ADB on 5556, 5557, …).
+
+Split APKs (a base plus `split_*.apk` files) install as one app:
+`python3 ui/frame_android.py install base.apk split1.apk …`. Lepton runs one
+APK, so splits that add native libraries or assets are merged into the base
+and re-signed; density and language splits are refused. See
+[quest-import.md](quest-import.md#split-apks). Not yet tried on a real Frame.
+
+Verified with AntennaPod and Tabletop Tools: installed in about 7 s, launched
+from the shortcut, stopped, and relaunched with their data intact. ADB and
+Lepton Development aren't involved.
+
+`--dev` keeps the old path: ADB into Lepton Development over an SSH tunnel
+(first free Mac port from 15555), which starts Lepton Development if needed.
+Apps installed that way are deleted when it exits (see below). No pairing or
+"Allow debugging?" prompt is needed for either path.
+
+Lepton Development must be installed once. Over SSH,
+`ssh frame 'steam steam://install/3056000'` queues it, but the install still
+needs to be confirmed or started in the headset.
+
+## When an app needs a newer Android
+
+Lepton is Android 11 (API 30), with arm64-v8a only. If Frame Control refuses
+an APK, it shows compatible versions from F-Droid's main and archive repos and
+IzzyOnDroid. It shows at most eight version names, newest first, preferring an
+arm64-only build, and says how many compatible builds it found in total.
+Each index is reduced to its compatible builds once a day and cached (about
+16 MB). The first lookup takes about 30 s and 100 MB of memory; later ones are
+instant.
+Choose **Install** to download a listed version, verify its SHA-256 against
+the index, and install it as its own app.
+
+You can also inspect a file or look up a package from the command line:
+
+```sh
+python3 ui/frame_android.py info some-app.apk
+python3 ui/frame_android.py versions some-app.apk
+python3 ui/frame_android.py versions org.example.app
+```
+
+The search links open APKMirror, APKPure, Uptodown, F-Droid and GitHub. Pick a
+version whose minimum is Android 11 or lower and that has an arm64-v8a build
+(or no native code). Frame Control does not fetch APKs from those search sites.
+Older versions may lack fixes, and being installable does not guarantee an
+app will run: see the missing services below. Android may refuse a downgrade
+or an update signed by a different publisher; removing the app deletes its data.
+
+## Installed apps disappear when Lepton Development closes (verified 2026-09-25)
+
+Lepton Development runs in a throwaway "dev" context. When it exits for any
+reason (you close it, or it crashes), the launcher script
+`~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Lepton/lepton` calls
+`clear_baked_app_data "non steamlaunch container"` and **deletes every app
+installed over ADB**. The journal shows `Clearing baked app data due to non
+steamlaunch container`, and `pm list packages -3` is empty afterwards.
+
+The script skips the wipe when `LEPTON_NO_CLEANUP` is set
+(`liblepton/liblepton.sh`, `clear_baked_app_data`). To keep your apps, set
+Lepton Development's Steam launch options to:
+
+```
+LEPTON_NO_CLEANUP=1 %command%
+```
+
+(Steam → Library → Lepton Development → Properties → Launch Options.) Inferred
+from the script, not yet tested across a restart.
+
+## Which APKs work (verified 2026-09-25, SteamOS build 20260922.6101926)
+
+Lepton is LineageOS 18.1 (`lepton_arm64_only`): Android 11, API 30,
+`abilist=arm64-v8a` only, Mesa (Turnip, Adreno 750) with GLES 3.2 and
+Vulkan 1.4. About 30 F-Droid apps were installed and opened on the Frame to
+check each rule. The results are in the compatibility database (see compat-db/README.md).
+
+**Won't install** (the installer refuses):
+
+| Rule | Seen on device |
+|---|---|
+| `minSdkVersion` > 30 | `INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK: Requires newer sdk version #33 (current version is #30)` |
+| Native code without `arm64-v8a` (32-bit ARM or x86 only) | `INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS` |
+
+**Crash on launch.** Lepton has no `clipboard` system service, so
+`getSystemService(CLIPBOARD_SERVICE)` returns null:
+
+| What | Result |
+|---|---|
+| **Jetpack Compose UI < 1.11** | Crashes as soon as a Compose screen appears: `null cannot be cast to non-null type android.content.ClipboardManager` in `AndroidComposeView`. Seen with 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8 and 1.10 apps. |
+| Jetpack Compose UI 1.11, 1.12, 1.13 | **Works.** Six apps opened fine, including Aurora Store and NewPipe. |
+| Old Compose, but the first screen uses classic Views | Opens (FoCal, Compose 1.3), and crashes only on Compose screens |
+| SDL2 apps, including Kivy | Crash: SDL calls `ClipboardManager.addPrimaryClipChangedListener` at start-up |
+| Godot 4.3 | Crashes (clipboard cast). Godot 4.6.1 works. |
+
+**Works:** classic Android Views apps, Flutter (2 of 2), libGDX (2 of 2),
+Compose 1.11+, Firebase-using apps. React Native: 2 of 3 opened; one
+(controlloid) died with SIGSEGV on the Hermes JS thread. A Qt 6 app
+(AusweisApp) failed on a missing libc++ symbol.
+
+**Missing pieces:** an app may open but fail when you use one of these:
+
+- No Google Play Services.
+- No activity for `VIEW` of web links, `OPEN_DOCUMENT`/`GET_CONTENT` (no file
+  picker), `IMAGE_CAPTURE`, or text-to-speech. WebView (Chromium 152) is there.
+- No Downloads or Contacts providers.
+- Missing system services also include `accessibility`, `vibrator`, `phone`,
+  `print`, `usb`, `nfc` and `autofill`. The declared features lack
+  `touchscreen.multitouch`, `bluetooth_le` and `telephony`.
+- No on-screen keyboard (IME) is installed. How text entry reaches Android
+  apps in the headset hasn't been checked.
+
+**Lepton itself can crash.** Three times during testing, the graphics HAL
+(`android.hardware.graphics.composer@2.1-service`) aborted right after an app
+crashed. SurfaceFlinger died, the whole `lepton-dev` container exited, and the
+installed apps were wiped (see above). A retry of the same app worked, so it's
+intermittent rather than app-specific.
+
+**How good are the predictions?** In a random sample of 12 apps rated "Should
+work", all 12 installed, opened and were still running 12 s later (two needed
+a retry because Lepton crashed mid-install). "Opened" isn't the same as fully
+working: see the missing pieces above.
+
+## Catalogue and compatibility reports
+
+Frame Control's **Android apps** section lists every F-Droid app with a
+verdict: Works on Frame, Should work, Might work, Probably crashes, or Won't
+work, with the reasons. As of 2026-09-25 that's 30 working, 3,323 should work,
+223 might work, 723 probably crash (mostly Compose < 1.11) and 156 won't
+install. Each app is rated on its newest version that Lepton can install,
+because F-Droid often publishes separate per-ABI builds and the newest is
+frequently x86_64. **Install** downloads the APK (SHA-256 checked against the
+F-Droid index) and sets it up as its own instance.
+
+No ProtonDB-style database for sideloaded Android apps on the Frame existed
+as of 2026-09-25. [Steam Frame Hub](https://verified.steamframehub.com/)
+collects community reports for Steam games only and has no public API, and
+Valve's "Great on Frame" badges and each Steam app's `recommended_runtime`
+(for example `lepton-stable`) also cover Steam games only
+([VR.org](https://vr.org/articles/steam-frame-lepton-android-runtime-52-of-130-certified-2026)).
+So Frame Control keeps its own. Your reports are saved on your Mac; the
+maintainer's copy also syncs them to a private Lakebed database.
+**Test** records whether the app stays up in its own instance, and **Report**
+(for any APK, F-Droid or not) records whether it worked, how it was run, where it came from, and notes, each with the SteamOS and Lepton build ids.
+See
+[compat-db/README.md](../compat-db/README.md) and
+[apk-catalog/README.md](../apk-catalog/README.md).
+
+## 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.
+
+Store search cards and app details also show **Reported not working** or
+**Reported issues** when saved compatibility reports say so. Details include
+the report date, version and notes. These are advisories: Install remains
+available unless the selected build has an existing compatibility blocker
+(for example, no arm64-v8a build or Android API above 30). Reports never clear
+those blockers. Apps reported not working are excluded from Home's featured
+app and recommendation shelves; search and category results still show them.
+An unrated install failure caused by the wrong APK architecture or Android API
+is ignored, using the same rules as the catalogue. A person's rating takes
+priority over automated results, with the latest rating winning.
+
+Reports warm in a background worker at server start. Search and details read
+only the last complete in-memory snapshot and schedule a single background
+refresh after 60 seconds; they never wait for disk, Keychain, a subprocess or
+the report database. During initial loading they show the usual build verdict;
+after a refresh, the next search or detail request sees the reports. Failed
+refreshes keep the previous snapshot and retry after another 60 seconds.
+
+**Availability:** public copies benefit from their own saved reports, including
+reports for apps outside the bundled catalogue, across every source with the
+same package name. This does not give public users the private shared ratings.
+The checked-in `apk-catalog/site/apps.js` contains predictions and no tested
+report verdicts, so it cannot supply a useful public report snapshot. No private
+reports, free-text notes or credentials are exported or published. The existing
+maintainer loader still uses its configured database access in the background;
+the search feature adds no sharing, endpoint or network destination. Tests leave
+the hook off by default (`FRAME_COMPAT_SEARCH_REPORTS=0` also disables it in
+server subprocesses) and use synthetic reports to exercise refresh behavior.
+
+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.
+
+## In-headset app store: F-Droid 1.17 (verified 2026-09-25)
+
+F-Droid 1.23 uses an old Compose and crashes on launch. **F-Droid 1.17.2**, the
+newest archived build without Compose, runs, loads the full catalogue (the
+first repo update takes about 90s), and can install apps. F-Droid 2.0 uses
+Compose 1.12, so it should work, but it hasn't been tried. The catalogue's
+Install button for F-Droid installs 1.17.2. To let F-Droid install apps without
+a settings prompt, with the tunnel open:
+
+```sh
+adb -s $S shell appops set org.fdroid.fdroid REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES allow
+```
+
+## Handy commands
+
+Open a tunnel by hand (use any free local port):
+
+```sh
+ssh -f -N -M -S /tmp/frame-adb.sock -L 127.0.0.1:15555:127.0.0.1:5555 frame
+adb connect 127.0.0.1:15555
+S=127.0.0.1:15555
+# when done: adb disconnect $S; ssh -S /tmp/frame-adb.sock -O exit frame
+```
+
+Then:
+
+```sh
+adb -s $S shell pm list packages -3              # installed third-party apps
+adb -s $S shell monkey -p <pkg> -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1
+# If monkey exits with -5 (it did for T3 Code), start the activity directly:
+adb -s $S shell am start -W -n "$(adb -s $S shell cmd package resolve-activity --brief -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER <pkg> | tail -n 1)"
+adb -s $S logcat -d -b crash                      # why an app died
+adb -s $S uninstall <pkg>
+adb -s $S exec-out screencap -p > shot.png        # the Lepton window
+```
+
+## Reaching a Mac service from Lepton (T3 Code v2, verified 2026-09-25)
+
+Lepton runs in podman with `pasta` networking. It has **its own loopback**, so
+a port on the Frame's `127.0.0.1` isn't visible as `127.0.0.1` inside Android.
+But pasta runs with `--map-gw`, so the **gateway address inside Lepton
+(`192.168.1.1` on the home network) maps to the Frame host's loopback**.
+
+T3 Code v2 on the Mac listens only on `127.0.0.1:3873`. To reach it:
+
+1. Keep `ssh -N -R 127.0.0.1:3873:127.0.0.1:3873 frame` running on the Mac,
+   for example from a LaunchAgent with `KeepAlive`, so launchd restarts it if
+   it drops.
+2. In the app on the Frame, the environment host is `192.168.1.1:3873`.
+
+The app on the Frame was built from the T3 Code v2 nightly source with `expo prebuild` and `gradlew assembleRelease
+-PreactNativeArchitectures=arm64-v8a`, using Homebrew `openjdk@17` and the
+`android-commandlinetools` SDK. It's signed with the debug key.
+
+To pair again, issue a one-time code on the Mac and type it into
+**Add environment**:
+
+```sh
+A="/Applications/T3 Code (V2 Preview).app"
+ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 "$A/Contents/MacOS/T3 Code (Alpha)" \
+  "$A/Contents/Resources/app.asar/apps/server/dist/bin.mjs" \
+  auth pairing create --base-dir "$HOME/.t3-v2" --ttl 15m --label "Steam Frame"
+```
+
+The app is deleted whenever Lepton Development closes (see above), so reinstall
+it afterwards or set `LEPTON_NO_CLEANUP=1`. The gateway address comes from the Frame's network when Lepton starts. On a
+different network, check it with `adb shell ip route` and edit the host.
+
+## Lepton Development forgets apps; give an app its own instance (verified 2026-09-25)
+
+**Lepton Development wipes every installed app when it exits.** Its launcher
+logs `Clearing baked app data due to non steamlaunch container`, unless
+`LEPTON_NO_CLEANUP` is set. A Steam-style launch (with `SteamAppId` set) is a
+"steamlaunch" context and keeps its data:
+
+- App data lives in `STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH/internal/<package>` (symlinked to
+  `/data/data/<package>`) and survives everything, including APK updates.
+- `STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH/baked` is Lepton's Android snapshot. It's rebuilt when
+  the APK changes, or when the app exits within 30 seconds of starting.
+- `STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH` must be under `~/.local/share/Steam` (use
+  `steamapps/compatdata/<id>`). Only that tree is mounted in the container. Put
+  it anywhere else and the symlinks dangle, so the app crashes with
+  `ENOENT` on its first file write.
+- Lepton runs apps headless unless an empty `lepton-show-flatscreen` file sits
+  next to the APK (`STEAM_COMPAT_INSTALL_PATH`).
+- Several instances can run at once. Each gets ADB on `5555 + offset`
+  (`podman ps --format "{{.Names}} {{.Labels.adb_port}}"`).
+- Outside Steam, Lepton's `setpgid --foreground` re-exec fails with no
+  terminal. Set `IS_PARENT=true` and start it with `setsid --wait`.
+
+[`frame/t3code/launch.sh`](../frame/t3code/launch.sh) does all this for T3
+Code (context `steamlaunch-2873873873`; ADB is the first free `5555 + n`, e.g. 5557). It needs the Steam client
+running (it mounts `~/.steam/steam.pipe`).
+
+**T3 Code in the Steam library (verified 2026-09-25).** The wrapper lives on
+the Frame at `~/Applications/T3Code/launch.sh`, with `t3code.apk` and the
+flatscreen marker next to it. It's a non-Steam shortcut called "T3 Code"
+(shortcut app id `3130509679`). Launching it from Steam gets its own SteamVR
+panel, `valve.steam.desktopgame.3130509679`, and opens already paired.
+
+- The shortcut was added without restarting Steam, through Steam's CEF debug
+  port (`127.0.0.1:8080` on the Frame, target `SharedJSContext`):
+  `SteamClient.Apps.AddShortcut(name, exe, "", "")`, then `SetShortcutName`
+  and `SetShortcutStartDir`. `steam steam://addnonsteamgame/<path>` only logged
+  the URL and added nothing.
+- To launch it over SSH: `steam steam://rungameid/13445436691150012416`, which
+  is `(3130509679 << 32) | 0x02000000`.
+- Steam sets `STEAM_FOSSILIZE_DUMP_PATH` for shortcut launches but not
+  `STEAM_COMPAT_SHADER_PATH`. Lepton then dies with "unbound variable", so the
+  wrapper sets both.
+- To update T3, replace `t3code.apk`. Lepton rebuilds its snapshot on the next
+  launch, and the pairing survives.
+
+## Crashing apps can take down the headset session (verified 2026-09-25)
+
+Some apps crash Android's graphics composer HAL, which kills the Lepton
+container. On 2026-09-25 a batch crash-test also coincided with `steamvr.service`
+restarting "on client request", which stops and SIGKILLs `gamescope-session`.
+After one of those kills, gamescope crash-looped about once a second on
+`rendervulkan.cpp:2181 ... Assertion '!modifiers.empty()'` because it kept
+attaching to the SteamVR processes orphaned from the dead session. The fix
+without sudo was to `for p in vrdashboard vrcompositor vrserver; do pkill -TERM -x $p; done` (pkill takes one pattern). The
+next session then started SteamVR fresh and recovered within a minute.
+
+## Android display: resolution, UI scale, text size (verified 2026-09-25, SteamOS 0.3.0, build 20260922.6101926)
+
+Each running Lepton instance has its own ADB port on the Frame, assigned at
+launch: 5555 is Lepton Development, and own-instance apps take the next free
+port (T3 Code was on 5557). Find them with `ss -ltn` (5555–5599) and identify
+each with `pm list packages -3`. Both instances reported `Physical size:
+1920x1080`. Their densities were 180 dpi (Lepton Development) and 213 dpi
+(T3 Code), and `settings get system font_scale` returned `null` (1.0).
+
+These all apply immediately and read back as set. Tested on Lepton Development
+only:
+
+```sh
+adb -s $S shell wm size 2560x1440         # or: wm size reset
+adb -s $S shell wm density 240            # or: wm density reset
+adb -s $S shell settings put system font_scale 1.15
+adb -s $S shell settings delete system font_scale
+```
+
+After a `wm` reset, Android writes `font_scale=1.0` back asynchronously, so a
+single delete that follows one reads back `1.0`. A second delete a second later
+leaves it `null`. Frame Control's **Android display** card does this for you
+(`/api/android/display`).
+
+**Inferred, not yet checked in the headset:** a bigger Android resolution with
+density scaled to match (2560×1440 at 4/3 of the density) gives sharper text,
+because gamescope scales Lepton's surface to fit the same panel. Also unverified:
+whether the settings survive the app or its Lepton instance relaunching.
+Lepton Development rebuilds its Android data on exit, so there they probably
+don't.
+
+## Expansion files and save backups
+
+SideQuest-inspired CLI helpers install local OBB files into an already-running
+app instance and back up/restore a stopped instance's private app data. See
+[SideQuest features and limits](sidequest.md) for commands, archive scope and
+verification status. These paths have offline coverage; real Frame storage and
+permissions remain unverified. They do not change APK install or launch behavior.
+
+
+## Local APK/OBB backups and Android bundles
+
+In **Android apps → Import Android game → Choose game files…** (or **Send to Frame**), choose one
+base APK, any supported splits, and its matching `main.<version>.<package>.obb` and/or
+`patch.<version>.<package>.obb` files together. The desktop app also discovers
+matching OBB files beside a lone selected APK. Browser uploads use only the
+files you selected. Installed apps can receive OBB-only imports.
+
+You can instead select **one `.xapk`, `.apks`, or `.apkm` archive** containing
+one base APK, optional supported splits and matching OBBs. These extensions describe
+containers, not a guarantee that their contents are supported. OBBs may be
+at the archive root, under `<package>/`, or under `Android/obb/<package>/`;
+one enclosing backup folder is allowed. Known manifest/icon/signature
+sidecars are ignored; the APK manifest determines the package. Unknown files,
+unsafe paths, links, encrypted entries, duplicate paths (including case
+collisions), more than 4,096 entries, or more than 16 GiB unpacked are refused.
+Staging also keeps 64 MiB of free disk space. Payloads still have the regular
+100-file/99-OBB limit. Ordinary `.zip` files keep the PC-title import route;
+extract an Android ZIP yourself and select its APK/OBBs.
+
+The importer previews the app and files before **Import game & data**.
+Confirming authorizes installing the app, starting it to prepare Android,
+checking the running package/version, copying OBBs through the existing
+verified data helper, and closing the game. Open it from Steam afterwards.
+If setup fails, read the error and retry the same backup; do not uninstall
+first, since that deletes saves. An app that cannot start may also prevent
+data setup. Uploaded and extracted staging is removed on cancellation,
+inspection failure, or job completion/failure; abandoned imports expire
+through the existing one-hour staging lifecycle. Original local files stay intact.
+
+**Limits:** this backup importer requires exactly one base APK. For split sets,
+each split must identify the same package and version, and pass the existing
+[Quest split merger](quest-import.md#split-apks). It refuses resource, code and
+feature splits and does not choose among device variants. Merging re-signs the
+APK, which can affect licences. It does not restore `Android/data`, private app
+data, saves or entitlements. These split imports have local fixture and merger
+tests, but no real split game has been installed with this backup route on the
+Frame.
+
+For issue #102, the RE4 report only establishes that an APK attempt failed.
+Missing OBBs are a hypothesis; the edition/build, exact files, failing step,
+and runtime compatibility remain unknown. Record those details, Frame Control
+and SteamOS versions, and sanitized server/crash errors before diagnosing it.
+`python3 ui/frame_android.py info /path/to/game.apk` inspects the APK locally.
+Successful installation or fixture tests do not establish RE4 compatibility;
+OBBs cannot fix ABI/API, VrApi/OpenXR, entitlement or Android-service failures.

+# Backup and recovery
+
+**Tools → Backup & recovery** copies what a factory reset would lose from the
+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. Unit tests and the fake Frame cover those (see
+[Verification](#verification)).
+On 2026-10-24, the real-device reproduction in [issue #142](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/issues/142)
+confirmed full Plasma Desktop Mode on the same build: the Plasma session target
+was active and the Game Mode target inactive. Desktop Mode also ran gamescope
+for `steamvr-plasma.service`, so the old process check incorrectly reported
+Game Mode. SteamOS's `steamosctl switch-to-game-mode` restored Game Mode and
+reversed the target states; battery stayed at 99%, and the rollback timer and
+shared lock were cleaned up. After #143 passed CI, the corrected code was
+tested in another full Plasma session under a three-minute rollback timer.
+`ui/frame_backup.py session` reported Desktop Mode despite gamescope, and
+`ui/frame_backup.py game-mode` invoked the same guarded Return function used by
+the button. Game Mode became active and a second call made no switch. Battery
+remained at 99%; the timer and lock were removed. That test used the production
+CLI rather than clicking the desktop button.
+
+Later on 2026-10-24, the published **v0.4.17 Linux x86_64 AppImage** passed the
+literal packaged-button check on the same Frame/build. With the shared lock and
+a verified three-minute rollback timer, the headset entered full Plasma Desktop
+Mode. In the packaged Electron window, **Tools → Backup & recovery → Check**
+reported Desktop Mode despite gamescope. A trusted automated pointer click on
+the visible **Return to Game Mode** button, accepting its confirmation, returned
+`switched: true` and `steamosctl switch-to-game-mode`. The systemd targets then
+confirmed Game Mode. A second confirmed button click returned `switched: false`;
+the Game Mode service invocation and SteamVR PID stayed unchanged. **Check**
+then reported Game Mode and disabled Return. The test app/server and virtual
+display were stopped; the timer and shared lock were removed. Steam and SteamVR remained running
+at 99% battery. [Commands, responses, cleanup and limits](evidence/return-game-mode-packaged-2026-10-24.json),
+[before](evidence/return-game-mode-packaged-2026-10-24-before.png) and
+[after](evidence/return-game-mode-packaged-2026-10-24-after.png).
+
+This used the unchanged extracted AppImage payload with its bundled Python on
+Xvfb (`--no-sandbox --disable-gpu`), following the packaged Export test in #156.
+FUSE mounting, desktop integration, hardware rendering and the view inside a
+worn headset were not checked. Older SteamOS builds remain fixture-tested.
+
+## 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, including any ancestor below the home folder of a selected
+  save or settings path, and single files over 2 GiB. Discovery checks each
+  component, and packing checks it again before opening each file.
+
+Steam backups use the normal `~/.local/share/Steam` directory tree. A separate
+`~/.steam/steam` alias does not affect this route. A library, Proton prefix or
+Wine save folder redirected by a symlink below the home folder is skipped,
+even if its target is inside home; it is not resolved and backed up elsewhere.
+The home folder itself is trusted and may use the host's normal path aliases.
+
+These are path checks, not a filesystem snapshot: a concurrent rename or link
+replacement between a check and a read can still race it. Close games and
+avoid moving or relinking these folders during backup. This fix rejects links
+already present when checked, including ones introduced after discovery; it
+does not provide atomic protection against concurrent filesystem changes.
+
+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. **Check** reads the main user's
+systemd session targets over SSH: `gamescope-session.target` and
+`plasma-workspace-wayland.target`. Game Mode requires the former active and the
+latter inactive; Desktop Mode requires the reverse. This takes precedence over
+process names: full Desktop Mode can run gamescope for its VR overlay, and
+Game Mode can run a nested Plasma panel. Check changes nothing.
+
+Conflicting, transitional, failed or unreadable targets produce **unknown**.
+On older images where both targets are explicitly absent, the fallback accepts
+only gamescope without Plasma/nested desktop as Game Mode, or Plasma without
+gamescope/nested desktop as Desktop Mode. Mixed processes remain unknown.
+The SDDM autologin file is still reported as a login preference; it cannot
+establish which session is running.
+
+After confirmation, **Return to Game Mode** runs exactly
+`steamosctl switch-to-game-mode` when available, or the older
+`holo-session-select gamescope` / `steamos-session-select gamescope` command.
+It closes the desktop and anything open in it. Frame Control never edits the
+SDDM files itself, and runs no switch when the headset is in Game Mode, when
+its mode is unknown, or when no supported switch command is installed. A
+refused command reports an error; a request being sent does not verify that
+the new session has started.
+
+### 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 steamosctl switch-to-game-mode` (verified on SteamOS 0.5.6).
+   Older images may instead provide `steamos-session-select gamescope` or
+   `holo-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 in save/settings roots and their ancestors refused, 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.
+Synthetic symlink fixtures cover every component of a Proton save root below
+home, including `compatdata/<appid>` and `steamuser/AppData`, plus directory
+and file links introduced between discovery and packing. Ordinary Proton and
+non-Steam saves, Linux saves, controller layouts, reference settings and home
+aliases still pack with their original bytes. These are local fixture checks;
+this path fix has not been tested on a headset.
+`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.
+
+Isolated session tests in the same suite reproduce full Plasma plus gamescope,
+Game Mode with and without the nested desktop, conflicting/transitional targets,
+missing targets on older builds, failed/timed-out systemd reads, selector
+compatibility, and the confirmed Return action with SSH mocked. Run them with
+`python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -p test_backup.py -v`.

+# Battery and health monitoring
+
+Open **Control Center → Battery & thermal health**, or expand **System
+information**, to read the Frame's charge, charging state, signed battery
+power, battery temperature and driver-reported health. Optional readings show
+charge cycles, full charge capacity, design capacity and full / design capacity.
+The existing battery chip also shows charging state and temperature.
+
+These are read-only readings from the Linux host's `/sys/class/power_supply`,
+not Android's container battery view. The probe prefers the documented Frame
+fuel gauge, `max1720x_bat_7-36`, over other battery nodes, excludes peripheral
+(`scope=Device`) and absent batteries, and otherwise uses a deterministic
+battery fallback. The UI shows the selected source path.
+
+| Reading | Linux attribute | Interpretation |
+|---|---|---|
+| Charge | `capacity` | Integer 0–100 percent; zero is a real reading |
+| Charging state | `status` | Charging, Full, Discharging or Not charging; missing/unknown states stay unavailable |
+| Battery power | `voltage_now × current_now` | Microvolts and microamps converted to signed watts; positive means charging on the Frame |
+| Temperature | `temp` | Tenths of a degree Celsius, including valid negative readings |
+| Battery health | `health` | Driver status such as Good or Overheat; not a wear percentage |
+| Charge cycles | `cycle_count` | Driver-reported count, including zero |
+| Full/design capacity | `charge_full`, `charge_full_design` | Microamp-hours converted to mAh |
+| Full / design capacity | Ratio of those two capacities | Fuel-gauge estimate; not a diagnosis or a guaranteed runtime |
+| Time estimate | `time_to_full_now`, `time_to_empty_now` | Seconds; displayed only for the corresponding charging/discharging state |
+
+Unavailable means the field is absent, unreadable or invalid. One missing
+sensor does not hide the others. Zero design capacity cannot produce a ratio. Time estimates outside 1 second
+to 7 days and battery temperatures outside −273.15 to 200 °C are rejected
+as invalid readings; these bounds are not thermal warning thresholds.
+The ratio may exceed 100% because full capacity is a gauge estimate, so the app
+does not clamp it or invent a wear warning. The app does not estimate health
+from charge percentage or assign temperature thresholds. Existing thermal
+alerts use the kernel's own hot/critical trip points.
+
+A connected charger does not necessarily mean charging: the Frame can still
+drain under load or sit idle near full charge. A 100% capacity reading alone
+does not prove the driver reports Full. Missing status is explicitly unknown;
+near-zero measured battery power with a charger is shown as not charging.
+Failed, stale or disconnected status samples clear Control Center readings.
+
+**No charge controls are provided.** Frame's SteamOS charge-limit backend is
+unsupported; see [charge-limit research](charge-limit.md). Monitoring never
+writes to power supplies, pauses charging, changes current or sets a limit.
+
+## Verification
+
+`tests/test_battery.py` uses temporary sysfs-like files for conversion,
+malformed/missing values, permission failures, source selection and partial
+sensor support. `tests/control_center.cjs` exercises charging states, optional
+metrics and failed/stale/disconnected sample handling. These tests do not
+connect to a headset. On 2026-10-24, the PR's uninstalled parser was also
+piped over SSH to a real Frame running SteamOS 0.5.6 (build
+`20261015.6141207`). Its read-only sysfs result selected
+`max1720x_bat_7-36` and reported 99% charge, Not charging, 24.9 °C,
+Good driver health, 14 cycles, 2,920 mAh full and 2,700 mAh design capacity
+(108.1% fuel-gauge estimate). The Control Center UI was not run against this
+headset; Windows and macOS were not tested. Optional fields are not claimed to
+be available on every firmware build.

+  capacity and estimated capacity health in Control Center. Unknown charging
+  status stays explicit. Monitoring is read-only; charge limits remain
+  unsupported on Frame. The read-only parser was checked on a real Frame; the UI was not.

+# 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):
+
+Rechecked read-only on build `20261022.6153909` on 2026-10-25: the
+`BatteryChargeLimit1` interface still returned `UnknownInterface`, no
+`charge_control_*` sysfs attribute existed, and the vendor charging switches
+were root-owned mode `644`. See [Round 3 headset evidence](evidence/round3-headset-2026-10-25.md).
+
+- `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.
+
+For safe read-only readings in Control Center, see [battery and health
+monitoring](battery-health.md). It does not provide charging controls.
+
+## 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.

+# Computer use through Frame Control MCP
+
+The MCP transport can carry semantic actions or visual computer-use actions.
+The limits are the Frame's underlying interfaces, permissions and whether an
+action can be targeted and verified. A stereoscopic headset screenshot alone
+is not a reliable coordinate system for clicking a particular app window.
+
+## What exists, and the right route
+
+| Surface | Evidence and route | Remaining work or boundary |
+|---|---|---|
+| Frame management | **Verified:** existing SSH/HTTP operations for status, capture and file transfer work through MCP. Typed install/launch/power tools wrap the existing API. | Extend typed operations before adding generic mouse automation. Preserve explicit approval for consequential changes. |
+| App/window observation | **Verified 2026-09-29:** `computer_state` reads gamescope X11 window/app/process triples, focused app and the installed AT-SPI library. | Bounded to 96 accessible nodes and six levels. Trees may be truncated, stale, hidden or incomplete. Snapshot paths and XIDs are observations, never durable action permissions. |
+| Chromium page content | **Verified previously:** the assistant rendered and could be exercised through CDP in an isolated Frame Chromium profile. | A shipped click/type surface needs exact owned browser/target binding, fresh element references, lifecycle cleanup, consent and post-action readback. Do not expose unrestricted JavaScript or attach to arbitrary existing profiles automatically. |
+| Steam UI | **Verified 2026-09-29:** the AT-SPI service listed the Steam client's Chromium process and frame nodes, but child traversal was incomplete. Existing `frame_steam.py` uses Steam's loopback CDP endpoint for specific operations. | Prefer those narrow Steam interfaces. Presence of AT-SPI does not prove controls are actionable, and generic pointer injection is not proved for VR menus. |
+| Other Linux apps | **Verified 2026-09-29:** Frame ships libX11, libXtst and libatspi; `/dev/uinput` is writable by the current user. | Library presence and access permissions do not prove that a game accepts input. Global virtual input can affect whichever app has focus. Do not ship a blind keyboard/mouse tool on this evidence alone. |
+| Panel focus and layouts | **Documented in [#41](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/41):** `POST /api/panels` accepts `list`, `focus` and `open`. Focus was verified there. | Reuse that owned interface after integration. Its tested gamescope-owned overlay transform setters return `PermissionDenied`; no reliable saved spatial-layout interface was established. Do not duplicate its implementation here. |
+| Shared keyboard/trackpad | **Documented in [#19](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/19):** `/api/input` supplies state/start and event submission, implemented with a bundled KDE Connect daemon. | This branch does not import, launch or depend on that daemon. The user's own-implementation rule remains authoritative. A first-party input implementation or permitted bundled-library route needs its own delivery evidence before MCP integration. |
+| Physical/device boundaries | **Documented:** an asleep Frame may be off the network; power authorization can require the user's password; physical pairing and headset fit/comfort require the user. | MCP cannot bypass offline hardware, consent, compositor permissions or physical verification. Keep explicit human handoffs. |
+
+## Reusing the existing computer-use work
+
+**Documented:** the installed `cua-driver` skill has the right control pattern:
+observe an exact window, use a semantic target if available, fall back to pixels
+from that same snapshot, then read back the result. Its browser route requires
+an exact process/window/target binding and session-scoped element references.
+Those are useful design rules for Frame tools.
+
+**Verified locally 2026-09-29:** `cua-driver describe get_window_state` describes
+host-local process/window IDs and macOS AX inspection. It does not establish an
+SSH Frame target. The installed skill's advertised Linux companion file is
+missing. A native ARM64 Frame backend, its dependencies and remote transport
+have not been verified. We therefore do not claim that the existing Mac driver
+can control the Frame by passing it a Frame PID or screenshot, and we do not
+make the feature depend on installing that application.
+
+Frame Control's `computer_state` is our own Python implementation over installed
+platform libraries. It sends the probe over SSH stdin, writes no helper to disk,
+and exits after one observation. Missing displays/libraries return explicit
+errors; a 15-second process deadline prevents a stalled accessibility call from
+leaving a probe behind. Window names and accessibility text are untrusted app
+content, never instructions to an agent.
+
+**Recommended next implementation:** an isolated Chromium session with typed
+snapshot/click/type/scroll tools and exact fresh target binding, then individually
+verified native app actions. Use the headset capture to judge appearance, not to
+invent a screen-to-window coordinate transform. Direct tool calls must retain
+approval rules; a generic computer-use tool must not become a route around the
+MCP approval panel, install confirmation or power confirmation.
+
+## Isolated browser input proof
+
+**Verified 2026-09-29, SteamOS 0.4.1, BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901:** a temporary
+Frame Chromium profile loaded a local test page through an SSH reverse tunnel.
+CDP `Input.insertText` entered the test string in its own input. A CDP
+`Input.dispatchMouseEvent` press/release on its own button copied that string
+to the page's result; DOM readback matched exactly. The browser profile,
+loopback forwards and panel log were removed afterward. No user app was typed
+into, no global settings were changed and no third-party helper app was used.
+
+AT-SPI did **not** expose the test page's controls in that same probe, even with
+Chromium's renderer-accessibility flag. It returned the partial Steam-client
+tree instead. The reason remains **unverified**; this is an evidence gap, not
+proof that Frame accessibility cannot work. For a first implementation,
+Chromium's proven page-specific CDP route is stronger than assuming complete
+AT-SPI coverage. This proof does not ship unrestricted click/type tools or
+establish input delivery to SteamVR's menus.

+# 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.

+## 日本語: 5 ステップで接続
+
+1. [公式リリース](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/releases/latest)から PC の OS 用ファイルをダウンロードします。Windows は `.exe`、macOS は `.dmg`、Linux は `.AppImage` または `.deb` です。同じリリースの `SHA256SUMS` でファイルを確認してください。
+2. PC に Frame Control をインストールして起動します。Windows はスタートメニュー、macOS はアプリケーション、Linux はアプリ一覧から開きます。AppImage の場合は実行権限を付けて開きます。
+3. Frame の Steam 設定 → システムで開発者モードを有効にし、開発者設定でユーザーパスワードを設定します。Frame と PC を同じ信頼できるネットワークに接続し、Frame を起こしておきます。
+4. PC の Frame Control で **Set Up Connection…** を選びます。Frame が見つからない場合は、Frame の設定で IP アドレスを確認して入力します。macOS では **Devices & connection → + Add a headset…** からアドレスを設定できます。
+5. Frame に **Pair new host** が出たら、自分が開始した要求だけを承認します。ペアリングに失敗した場合は、PC のターミナルで開発者モードのパスワードを入力します。接続後、Frame Control に戻って状態を確認します。
+
+Frame Control は管理用の SSH 接続を使います。ゲーム映像は SteamVR / Steam Link が送ります。Frame Control を入れてもゲームの ping は下がりません。無線アダプターは必須ではありません。USB-A-to-C ケーブルで Frame の USB ネットワークが使えるかは、まだ確認できていません。

+# What we have tested
+
+Release baseline: Frame Control **v0.4.41**, 26 October 2026. Rows also identify verified post-release main changes explicitly. “Real Frame + physical PC” means an actual headset and a non-virtual computer. “VM only” means a Windows virtual machine, sometimes connected to the real Frame. A CI test or a simulated device is **not** a physical hardware test. The date/version column is the last relevant check, not a promise that every new release was retested on that platform. See each link for the exact procedure and limits.
+
+| Feature | Real Frame + physical PC tested | VM only | Untested or limited | Last check and proof |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| Mac desktop release — tested on a real Mac | Physical MacBook Air (MacBookAir9,1), Intel Core i3, macOS 15.7.7 (24G720): official v0.4.39 x64 DMG and ZIP hashes/architectures verified; clean DMG app installed and launched. Native UI, preferences across restart, update discovery of 0.4.40, offline OBS Start/Stop and 116-entry Decky store checked. Actual Open at Login menu toggled on, persisted across Quit/relaunch, then restored off. A 54-byte relay upload/readback/delete passed under coordinator/headset locks | No | Ordinary browser quarantine, right-click Open and Open Anyway remain unverified; the synthetic quarantine probe was inconclusive. Actual login startup untested. Direct frame.local had no route and app SSH trust failed; relay transfer is not native Mac transfer acceptance. Real OBS/Framey VR unverified. Earlier shutdown race fix #284 shipped in v0.4.40, whose Intel installer was not tested here | 26 Oct, official v0.4.39 tag `fd0b0a9`: [repeat Intel acceptance evidence](evidence/intel-mac-v0.4.39-2026-10-26.md); [earlier release test](evidence/mac-v0439-2026-10-26.md) |
+| Core title smoke test | Linux lxso2 ran the exact v0.4.41 tagged source against the real Frame; 13/13 reserved title steps passed and cleanup completed | No | The headset was unworn; visible rendering and controller input were not checked. Optional Steam Linux Runtime 4 was absent, so the x86_64 test executable did not actually launch. Other feature paths retain their separate limits below | 26 Oct, exact v0.4.41 tag `b5d50a8`, Frame OS 0.5.6 build `20261022.6153909`: [tagged release evidence](evidence/v0441-release-2026-10-26.md); [earlier candidate smoke](evidence/v0441-candidate-frame-2026-10-26.md) |
+| Windows desktop in the headset | No physical Windows PC test | Windows 11 VM sent a whole desktop to a real Frame; this used an intermediate fix, not the final native DLL | Physical GPU, capture and controller input; individual windows unavailable in bundled DXGI build | 24 Oct, v0.4.10 installer + candidate fix: [VM log](evidence/windows-vm-2026-10-24.md), [PC guide](pc-in-headset.md) |
+| Linux desktop in the headset | No | No | Native Linux PC capture is disabled; lxso2 lacked a desktop portal and PipeWire session. The separate Steam `-pipewire` helper is not Frame Control's PC capture | 24 Oct, v0.4.17: [host audit](evidence/linux-pc-host-lxso2-2026-10-24.md), [Steam helper PR #163](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/163) |
+| Mac desktop in the headset | A physical Mac sent its screen/window to a real Frame | No | Current v0.4.26 Mac installer and worn-headset controller input have not been repeated | 28 Sep, pre-v0.4 / Frame OS 0.4.1: [Mac guide and measurement](streaming.md#b-show-the-macs-desktop-inside-the-frame) |
+| OBS headset source on Linux | Real Frame to OBS 30.0.2 on a Linux host: 187.367 s, 720p30 H.264/AAC stereo, 5,621 frames, no encoder skips; room passthrough appeared in the recording | No | Synthetic tone was measured, not real game audio or audible listening. Default audio led by about 0.43 s in this setup; a measured +480 ms OBS offset removed residual skew at test resolution. Source-image latency was 1.431 s in one trial; other hosts and long sessions are unverified | 25 Oct, v0.4.30 package plus PR #219 runtime: [validation](evidence/obs-validation-2026-10-25.md) |
+| OBS headset source on Windows | No physical Windows PC test | Windows 11 VM helper fixture passed, but a native bridge to the real Frame sent no packets | In-app OBS controls remain hidden; native Windows OBS and firewall path are unverified | 25 Oct, PR #219: [validation](evidence/obs-validation-2026-10-25.md), [OBS guide](obs-headset-source.md) |
+| OBS headset source on macOS | Physical Intel Air: official v0.4.39 native Start/Stop returned to idle offline | No | Real headset stream, OBS receiver and audio/video remain unverified; the app rejected its stale SSH identity | 26 Oct, v0.4.39: [Mac evidence](evidence/mac-v0439-2026-10-26.md), [OBS guide](obs-headset-source.md) |
+| OBS headset source on a SteamOS / Steam Machine PC | No SteamOS PC or Flatpak OBS runtime test | No SteamOS host VM test | v0.4.27 AppImage launched on Ubuntu x86_64 under Xvfb; the helper sent H.264/AAC from a real Frame to a local UDP receiver. SteamOS read-only root, desktop UI and Flatpak OBS remain unverified | 25 Oct, v0.4.27: [host test](evidence/obs-steamos-host-2026-10-25.md), [OBS guide](obs-headset-source.md#steamos--steam-machine-pc-host) |
+| Wired connection doctor | No physical PC/Frame cable test of the doctor | No | Synthetic route/SSH tests; a separate Mac USB-C address observation does not test the doctor or game stream | 25 Oct, v0.4.23: [PR #178](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/178), [wired guide](wired-connection.md) |
+| Windows Wireless Adapter doctor | No physical Steam Wireless Adapter/dropout test | Windows 11 VM ran read-only checks without the adapter or WLAN | Adapter identification, dropouts and recovery on hardware | 24–25 Oct, v0.4.20–0.4.25: [VM log](evidence/windows-wireless-2026-10-24.md), [doctor guide](windows-wireless-doctor.md), [comparison PR #184](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/184) |
+| Linux Wireless Adapter doctor | No Steam Wireless Adapter hardware test | No | Read-only Linux host checks and mocked adapter states; no adapter-specific hardware observation | 24 Oct, v0.4.20: [PR #165](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/165), [doctor guide](linux-wireless-adapter-doctor.md) |
+| Switch PC windows | No physical Windows PC test | No real VM-to-Frame Alt+Tab check recorded | Explicit chord is covered by tests; actual window focus, keyboard layouts and controller interaction are unverified | 25 Oct, v0.4.24: [PR #181](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/181), [PC guide](pc-in-headset.md) |
+| Keyboard and trackpad from Frame Control | A Linux PC sent a click and ASCII keys to a temporary focused window on the real Frame | No | Worn-headset interaction, Unicode delivery and pixel-accurate pointing | 24 Oct, v0.4.19: [received-event log](evidence/pad-gamescope-2026-10-24.md), [PR #66](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/66) |
+| Backup and restore after reset | Same-headset backup, no-op save restore and Return to Game Mode checks | No | Restore **after a factory reset**, replacement restore and Android data restore have not been tested on a headset. No headset reset was done | 24 Oct, v0.4.17: [backup guide](backup-and-recovery.md), [Return to Game Mode log](evidence/return-game-mode-packaged-2026-10-24.json) |
+| Android game backup import | F-Droid Basic APK with synthetic main and patch OBBs installed, transferred and read back on a real Frame | No | v0.4.30 restricted split-APK backup route has generated-fixture and existing merger tests only; no real split game or RE4 gameplay test | 20 Oct OBB headset check; 25 Oct, v0.4.30 split fixtures: [OBB device evidence](evidence/android-import/device.json), [split PR #206](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/206), [guide](android-backups.md) |
+| Passthrough in recordings | Real room pixels in OBS and a production MP4 after safe SteamVR wake | No | **Yes** for the checked 0.5.6 mirror. Raw cameras are not opened. Other games/modes and Steam clips may differ | 25 Oct: [validation](evidence/obs-validation-2026-10-25.md), [recording guide](recording.md#does-record-include-passthrough) |
+| Open at login | No Frame needed; official v0.4.39 on the physical Intel Air toggled the actual native menu on, retained its checkmark after Quit/relaunch and restored it off. Linux autostart file previously toggled on a physical Linux host with an isolated config directory | No | A full OS login session and physical Windows host login remain untested | 26 Oct, v0.4.39: [native Intel toggle evidence](evidence/intel-mac-v0.4.39-2026-10-26.md); Linux v0.4.26: [PR #189](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/189) |
+| Local Frame Control extensions | Example panel displayed live Frame status in a browser preview; the real Frame served a read-only example in the experimental headset panel | No | No wearer-visible extension view; third-party extensions and physical Windows/macOS extension folders untested | 25 Oct, v0.4.29: [PR #194](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/194), [PR #201](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/201), [extension guide](extensions.md) |
+| Experimental Frame Control SteamVR panel | Frame OS 0.5.6 registered and served the opt-in overlay. A later unattended check safely woke SteamVR and found the panel in stereo compositor and mirror captures; it removed its temporary service and restored power settings | No | No person wore the headset for that check. Physical controller input, scrolling, VR keyboard, comfort and legibility remain unverified. The large status view has browser and packaging checks, not a wearer review | 26 Oct, v0.4.29–0.4.40: [panel PR #201](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/201), [unattended evidence](evidence/framey-vr-2026-10-25/README.md), [post-#292 unworn sample exercise](evidence/v0440-release-2026-10-26.md#post-tag-292-panel-regression), [earlier standby-gated exercise](evidence/framey-vr-standby-gate-2026-10-26.md), [worn checklist](framey-vr-check.md) |
+| Experimental Decky Loader manager | Frame OS 0.5.6 ARM64 user-service install/status/update/remove and managed ProtonDB install/update/remove passed earlier. A private Decky 3.3.0 service returned read-only ProtonDB and Steam Status setting RPCs; a later locked check verified the official Notebook default drawing/save/reopen flow and Simple Timer backend events in local Chromium | No | The loader remains opt-in. Installs/updates reject an archive whose Decky name collides with another installed plugin before download and under the headset transaction lock; this safety path has host/fake Frame tests, not a new real-headset collision test. v0.4.41 classifies the 116 exact-version plugins as 3 works, 48 partial, 54 broken and 11 not applicable. Notebook works for its default flow; Volume Mixer and Mixer work for tested per-app silent-stream volume control only. TabMaster is partial. Deck Shelves moved to partial after its exact chunked frontend rendered settings in local Chromium; its backend and Steam Home shelves remain unverified. Steamback, PlayTime and Deck Settings became partial after detached read-only library/user snapshots and isolated amd64 backend checks; their official ARM64 backends, automatic behavior and VR panels remain unverified. A read-only Steam bridge returned the Frame country, install folders and system information; IsThereAnyDeal selected that country in local Chromium, but its deployed HTTP endpoint and deal lookup remain unverified. An isolated ARM64 LocalSend core answered its info endpoint, but the official x86-only plugin archive and file transfers remain blocked. Volume Mixer and Mixer controlled a named silent stream through real ARM64 Decky with independent Pulse readbacks; Volume Boost default-sink reads matched, but real writes were denied. Audible output, Bluetooth playback, internal-node controls and worn VR remain unverified. Most official backends and VR controls remain unverified. Physical controller use and wearer-visible official panels remain unverified | 26 Oct, v0.4.31–0.4.41: [managed store PR #208](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/208), [name-collision PR #269](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/269), [catalog PR #266](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/266), [backend event evidence](evidence/framey-events-backend-2026-10-26.json), [Steam read PR #274](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/274), [LocalSend evidence PR #275](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/275), [local audio evidence](evidence/framey-audio-backends-2026-10-26.md), [ARM64 audio evidence](evidence/framey-audio-arm64-2026-10-26.md), [post-release library evidence](evidence/framey-library-context-2026-10-26.md), [compatibility table](framey-compatibility.md) |
+| Experimental Framey VR plugin panels and store | Unattended Frame OS 0.5.6 runs showed the Framey sample panel in stereo compositor and mirror captures. The latest standby-gated exercise restored the original power settings and released its shared lock. Synthetic OpenVR clicks changed a live sample setting, read its Decky backend file and confirmed it after a fresh iframe reopen | No | This was the repository sample, not an official store plugin. Physical controllers, native scrolling, VR keyboard, wearer comfort and legibility remain unverified. CSS Loader and SteamGridDB exact archives passed fake Frame install/remove and panel packing; this does not establish theme or artwork controls in VR. Panel-local backend events and React toasts have local/real-backend checks, but no wearer review. Pause Games and Tailscale Control settings render in local Chromium; their live actions are unverified. The 116-plugin catalog had 60 fake installs/removals and 56 expected blocks; v0.4.40 recorded 101 local Chromium initializers ready and 15 failed, up from 98/18 in v0.4.39. Notebook is marked works only for its default drawing/save/reopen flow | 26 Oct, v0.4.38–0.4.40: [post-#294 unworn sample and scroll evidence](evidence/framey-scroll-probe-2026-10-26.md#post-294-exact-main-sample-check), [backend event PR #270](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/270), [settings/cache PR #271](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/271), [post-release sample exercise](evidence/v0439-release-2026-10-26.md#post-release-framey-library-change-282), [worn checklist](framey-vr-check.md) |
