+# LocalSend ARM64 build and isolated Frame probe
+
+The official Decky Localsend archive remains **broken/blocked**: its helper is
+x86_64. A source rebuild is now proven to execute on the ARM64 Frame and answer
+the LocalSend 2.0 info endpoint. This is a core runtime result, not a working
+official-plugin or file-transfer claim. [Machine-readable evidence](framey-localsend-arm64-2026-10-26.json)
+records the exact scope and cleanup.
+
+## Reproduce the build
+
+The helper is MIT-licensed; the separate official Python plugin is BSD-3-Clause.
+Use the pinned helper source and retain its license for any redistribution.
+No binary is redistributed in Frame Control, and no installer digest or
+architecture safeguard was changed.
+
+```sh
+framey_build_dir=$(mktemp -d)
+git clone https://github.com/MoYoez/LocalSend-Go "$framey_build_dir/source"
+git -C "$framey_build_dir/source" checkout --detach 66edc509a28b9f877e7374504892dcbc653a4da4
+cd "$framey_build_dir/source"
+env GOTOOLCHAIN=go1.25.7 CGO_ENABLED=0 GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64 \
+  go build -trimpath -o "$framey_build_dir/localsend-core" .
+sha256sum "$framey_build_dir/localsend-core"
+```
+
+Two builds produced the same static aarch64 ELF SHA-256:
+`e79238f6051ce34f172f765ae918d3d902b819e27377989a55e5b1eba10e46f9`.
+The official ELF uses Go 1.25.7 too, but embeds no VCS revision, so the exact
+source correspondence is still unproven. The rebuilt helper recognizes every
+CLI flag supplied by the official Python backend.
+
+## Real Frame scope
+
+Tests ran under the normal atomic `/tmp/frame-test.lock` with a private temporary
+directory. `-h` exited before configuration or networking. For the health probe,
+`unshare -Urn` created a private user/network namespace with loopback and a veth
+pair entirely inside it: no external interface or default route. The veth used
+the documentation-only `192.0.2.1/24` address. Upstream rejects a loopback-only
+discovery interface, which is why the second isolated attempt used a veth.
+
+The helper used a private config/upload path, `-skipNotify`,
+`-useAutoSave=false`, `-useAutoSaveFromFavorites=false`, `-useHttp=true`,
+`-useReferNetworkInterface probe0` and `-scanTimeout 1`. The test client sent only
+`GET /api/localsend/v2/info` over loopback; it returned version `2.0`, device type
+`headless` and the private test alias. No upload, transfer, pairing or external
+discovery request ran. The helper exited; its private config/log and executable
+directory were removed; no service or power setting changed. The lock was
+released. An independent cleanup reacquisition found another job's lock and
+left it alone; cleanup success comes from the original probe's process wait and
+temporary-directory exit, not that deferred audit.
+
+Before enabling an ARM64 official package, verify the unmodified Python backend
+and frontend/proxy protocol with this source revision, then HTTPS, discovery and
+an explicitly safe private transfer. The official store must publish a matching
+ARM64 archive or Frame Control must gain a separately reviewed, digest-scoped
+build/package path. Compiling the core does not justify accepting the current
+x86 archive or marking the full plugin works.

+# Physical Mac desktop check, 26 October 2026
+
+Host: **MacBook Air (MacBookAir9,1), Intel Core i3 1.1 GHz, macOS 15.7.7
+(24G720), x86_64**. This is physical hardware. The console is an unattended
+server with display/automation restrictions. No Apple Silicon runtime result
+is inferred from this test.
+
+## Released installers: verified, installed, cannot run on Intel
+
+GitHub's latest release was v0.4.35 at the start; v0.4.36 became latest during
+the check. Each DMG and its SHA256SUMS were downloaded from that exact release
+with `gh release download`. Both passed `shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS
+--ignore-missing` (only the downloaded asset was checked):
+
+| Release | Asset | SHA-256 |
+|---|---|---|
+| v0.4.35 | Frame-Control-mac-arm64.dmg | `eda670748679ca02fcf242870cd53954b22cf8b93af47a193c9903bd08a8334f` |

+
+Each read-only DMG was mounted with `hdiutil attach -readonly -nobrowse`.
+There was no existing `/Applications/Frame Control.app`; the app was copied
+there with `ditto`, the command-line equivalent of the DMG's drag to
+Applications. `open "/Applications/Frame Control.app"` returned exactly:
+
+> The application cannot be opened because it has an incorrect executable format.
+
+`file` identified the executable as `Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64`.
+`codesign -dv` identified an ad hoc signature with no TeamIdentifier. The
+v0.4.35 `spctl -a -vv` assessment returned `rejected`. The v0.4.36 assessment
+stalled and is not counted as a completed assessment.
+
+**No Gatekeeper warning dialog was observed.** LaunchServices rejected the
+architecture first. The CLI download had no `com.apple.quarantine` attribute,
+so this was not a browser-quarantine test. Neither right-click Open, Open
+Anyway nor removing quarantine was tested. On this Intel Mac there is no

+recommended Open Anyway flow for compatible Macs and labels the latter
+unverified here. No global Gatekeeper setting was changed.
+
+## Separate Intel candidate: partial native runtime pass
+
+[PR #262](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/262), commit `6ea9eb2`,
+adds native x64 DMG/ZIP builds, pinned x64 Python, an x86_64 Swift helper, and
+CI architecture checks. Swift 6.2.4 rejected an ambiguous
+`Data.withUnsafeMutableBytes` overload in the helper; an explicit
+`UnsafeMutableRawBufferPointer` annotation compiled successfully on this Air.
+
+`npm run dist:mac:x64` completed locally, producing an ad hoc signed app,
+ZIP and DMG. The unpacked candidate was copied to
+`/Applications/Frame Control Intel Test.app` and launched with telemetry off,
+a task-local server data directory and a temporary loopback debug port.
+This is **not** the published v0.4.36 binary.
+
+The first launch stalled for several minutes before app code ran. A process
+sample showed only `_dyld_start`, a 12 KiB footprint and no loaded image
+list, while `syspolicyd` used about 89% CPU. It later proceeded without any
+system-service restart; the app window and server loaded. The initial stall
+is a host observation, not proof of a Frame Control bug. Restarting that
+security daemon was rejected by automatic approval review, and was not done.
+
+| Check | Observed result and limit |
+|---|---|
+| Native window and IPC bridge | The Electron renderer displayed Apps and the offline identity warning; `window.frameApp` was present. Native renderer inspected through its temporary loopback CDP port; this does not prove every macOS permission dialog or physical click |
+| Settings | Native preference read returned `{}`. Writing `mvSeparate="0"` read back correctly. The original preference file was restored byte-for-byte (or removed when originally absent) in a finally block. Persistence across an app restart is not claimed |
+| Open at Login | Source is opt-in and focused login-item tests passed. Native menu read via System Events timed out; an OS login session and actual checkbox state remain unverified. No login item was enabled |
+| Logs | `~/Library/Logs/Frame Control/server.log` exists. Its startup line proves the candidate used `Contents/Resources/python/bin/python3` and its bundled `ui/server.py`; HTTP reads and offline failures were logged. Show Server Log menu interaction was not verified |
+| Update check | Actual `frameApp.update.check()` completed with `status="none"`, `current="0.4.36"`, latest `0.4.36`, and `error=null`. No update was installed; native dialog dismissal was not verified |
+| OBS setup and lifecycle | Native status reported supported/idle, Start on port 15123 reported starting, Stop reported stopping, then idle. The Frame's SSH identity rejection prevented a headset stream. This checks local lifecycle only: no OBS app, audio/video delivery or receiver tested |
+| Decky store | The exact released UI/server resources, separately served by this Mac's existing Python 3.9.6, loaded 116 official entries in local Chromium. Forty rows rendered; searching ProtonDB found ProtonDB Badges 1.3.4; all Install buttons stayed disabled while offline. No loader or plugin was installed. [Browser screenshot](mac-decky-browser-2026-10-26.png) |
+| Other UI | Released Apps, Settings, Privacy & updates, Tools, Capture & Live and Decky views rendered. The privacy page correctly reported telemetry blocked by `FRAME_CONTROL_TELEMETRY=0`; sharing/contact choices were left alone. The activity log displayed the offline failure. The browser path hides native OBS buttons as designed; it is not a substitute for the native lifecycle check above |
+| Framey preview | No standalone local preview control was found in the desktop UI. The Framey panel belongs to the headset runtime; no VR or plugin-backend result is claimed |
+
+The released server refused a stale SSH host identity rather than silently
+trusting it. That safety check was preserved; no host pin was replaced just
+to make the test pass. Capture, media, game launches, power controls, installs,
+sign-ins and notifications were not triggered without a working connection.
+
+## Headset: read-only relay checks, no changes
+
+`frame.local` resolved on the Air, but direct TCP/SSH did not connect. The
+coordinator host lxso2 could reach it. The app's read-only `frame_status.py`
+was piped through lxso2 to the Frame and returned:
+
+- SteamOS **0.5.6**, build **20261022.6153909**, variant `vr`.
+- Battery **99%, Charging**.
+- Home storage: 996,984,774,656 bytes total, 769,023,275,008 bytes free.
+- A read-only search counted **14** Steam screenshot JPEGs; none was copied.
+
+The shared `/tmp/frame-test.lock` was owned by another Framey test on each
+check. This job did not acquire, remove or replace it. File upload/delete,
+OBS on the device and every other headset mutation were skipped. These relay
+reads do not prove the native Mac app's direct SSH or file-transfer path.
+The headset was never wiped or rebooted.
+
+## Validation and follow-up
+
+A disposable Linux checkout of exact commit `6ea9eb2` on lxso2 passed:
+**1,590 server tests (16 skipped)** and **46 app tests**. On the physical Air,
+**14 focused login-item/preferences/OBS tests** and **18 website tests** passed.
+Full Mac server/release suites were attempted but spawned helper programs
+stalled and timed out during the policy-service problem; they are not a pass.
+Node 22's complete app run cancelled sign-in tests around an unreferenced
+timeout; the exact same app suite passed on lxso2. CI uses Node 24.
+
+Required next steps: pass exact-head Mac packaging/architecture CI, publish
+an Intel asset through coordinator job mppkd9qczt, then repeat a normal
+browser-download/quarantine installation of that release on this Air. Verify
+Open Anyway and Open at Login through an authorized interactive console.
+Acquire the shared headset lock before a temporary transfer or real OBS test.
+Preserve all unverified labels until those checks actually pass. PR #113 was
+not changed. No social post was made.

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