-There's no paid Apple developer account behind it, so macOS says the app is
-damaged or can't be checked. Drag it to Applications, then clear the download
-quarantine once, only for a download you trust from the releases linked above:
+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"
 ```

-The first time, macOS also asks to allow local network access (for SSH) and
-control of Terminal (for the password prompts).
+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.

+# Official audio plugins: local real-backend checks
+
+Volume Mixer 1.2.1-1 (38), Volume Boost 0.0.7 (58) and Mixer 0.1.0 (144)
+passed useful audio controls in local Chromium with their **unmodified official
+Python backends running in actual Decky 3.3.0**. All three remain **partial**:
+this run used amd64 Linux, and Frame ARM64 dependencies/audio-session mapping
+are unverified. The shared headset lock was occupied; no headset reads or
+changes occurred. No worn-VR result is claimed.
+
+The private test container and browser relay were removed after verification.
+
+The [machine-readable observations](framey-audio-backends-2026-10-26.json)
+pin all three official archives and the published Decky binary digest, and
+record each browser-triggered write with independent `pactl` channel readbacks.
+
+| Plugin | Useful behavior checked | Still unverified on Frame |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Volume Mixer | Discover two playback streams; slider click and ArrowDown change only the selected stream, 100 → 50 → 45%; other stream remains 100% | ARM64 libpulse/libdbus, actual user audio session, Bluetooth playback controls |
+| Volume Boost | Both-channel slider; separate right-channel change preserves left; reopen restores sync preference and actual values; exact numeric left entry; syncing disables both right controls | `pactl`, default sink, hard-coded runtime UID, physical output, boost above 100% |
+| Mixer | Exact stream volume 37 → 38%, independently read back; invalid 101 and off-step 37.5 produce no write; playback filter saved, survives actual Decky restart, hides the intended stream on reopen | `pw-dump`/`wpctl`, actual Frame session, physical output, worn VR |
+
+## Reproduced host gap
+
+Both Volume Boost and Mixer request `SliderField.editableValue`. Framey
+previously ignored that prop and rendered only a range slider. It now supplies
+an accessible numeric input with the same minimum, maximum, step and disabled
+state, and emits numeric `onChange` values. Empty, non-finite, out-of-range and
+browser-invalid drafts do not reach a backend. No official archive was patched.
+This also makes the control available to other plugins requesting that prop;
+it does not establish their compatibility.
+
+## Runtime and isolation
+
+The disposable Debian 13 container ran PipeWire 1.4.2, WirePlumber 0.5.8 and
+PulseAudio client tools 17.0. Docker used `--network none --cap-drop ALL
+--security-opt no-new-privileges`, no host audio sockets and no sound devices.
+Only the archive cache and test inputs were mounted, read-only. Debian 12 was
+insufficient for the published Decky binary's GLIBC requirement; that initial
+runtime did not start.
+
+Private environment:
+
+```text
+XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/framey-audio-runtime
+PIPEWIRE_REMOTE=framey-audio
+PULSE_SERVER=unix:/tmp/framey-audio-runtime/pulse-native
+DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/tmp/framey-audio-runtime/bus
+DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/tmp/framey-audio-runtime/bus
+```
+
+XDG config/data/state and both Decky paths were below the private test base.
+Decky ran unprivileged with `CHOWN_PLUGIN_PATH=0`, `LIVE_RELOAD=0`,
+`USE_CEF_CLOSE_WORKAROUND=0` and `KEEP_SYSTEMD_SERVICE=1`. A private D-Bus
+session satisfied Volume Mixer's import; there was no real BlueZ service.
+Its fixed `/tmp/VolumeMixer-decky.log` existed only inside the container.
+
+The JSON includes the complete PipeWire server configuration: only a dummy
+driver and null stereo sink, no hardware factories. A second PipeWire process
+loaded protocol-native, client-node, adapter, metadata and protocol-pulse with
+the private absolute socket. `wireplumber --profile policy` managed this server;
+that installed profile contains no hardware monitors. Only private default-sink
+metadata was selected. Two `paplay --raw --format=s16le --rate=48000 --channels=2
+/dev/zero` clients supplied silence named `FrameySilent0` and `FrameySilent1`.
+Without policy, successful volume RPCs initially left readbacks unchanged; those
+fixture attempts are excluded from the passing observations.
+
+The browser relay served actual `ui/headset.html`, vendored React 18.3.1,
+`ui/framey-host.js` and the exact archived frontends in an opaque `allow-scripts`
+iframe. Outer headset/installed-plugin responses were fixture-shaped. Backend
+RPC used the official Decky websocket protocol inside the isolated container:
+`loader/call_legacy_plugin_method` with keyword objects for 38/58 and
+`loader/call_plugin_method` with positional arguments for 144. This bypassed
+Steam CEF and the production SSH/CDP transport; neither is an audio verification
+claim from this run.
+
+The relay allowed discovery/settings reads, bounded volume writes only to
+identified `FrameySilent` streams/the private default sink, and Mixer filters
+`[]` or `["FrameySilent0"]` with boost limit 0. It denied Bluetooth commands,
+`reset_volumes` and boosts. Every volume write was followed by a separate
+`pactl -f json list sinks` / `list sink-inputs` read. A clean Decky shutdown and
+restart retained Mixer's actual settings file and filter behavior.
+
+Earlier full-catalog fake-Frame evidence for these exact digests covers
+install/receipt/frontend/removal transport, with plugin execution stubbed.
+The new evidence adds actual local backend execution; it does not turn that
+older fake-Frame result into an ARM64 backend test.
+
+## Regression checks
+
+The required server suite passed 1,612 tests (16 skips); all 38 focused Framey
+tests and both website tests passed. The 116-plugin browser audit retained
+98 initializer-ready / 18 failed, with no change to any ready state. That audit
+keeps backend/network actions denied. A fresh official catalog fetch confirmed
+all 116 IDs, versions and digests unchanged.
+
+## Next device check
+
+Acquire the normal atomic `/tmp/frame-test.lock`; refuse an existing owner.
+First inspect available tools/libraries and audio runtime UID. If supported,
+repeat with a private ARM64 Decky user service, isolated audio socket, dummy
+sink/streams and hardware discovery disabled. Check Volume Mixer's fixed log
+path for collisions before loading it. Never attach the fixture to the normal
+headset output/default server. Remove only test-owned services/processes/files,
+read back original service/battery state and release only the matching lock.
+Keep all three partial until that check passes; physical output, Bluetooth and
+worn-VR controls need separate evidence.

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

+# 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.

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

+# 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.
+
+**Follow-up:** the official v0.4.39 Intel installer later launched on this Air.
+See the [released-build test](mac-v0439-2026-10-26.md); the results below remain
+the earlier ARM64 failure and separate candidate 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` |
+| v0.4.36 | Frame-Control-mac-arm64.dmg | `4d13068f0cfd3616823d63c82333afa7e368c1d57d375e9564f5f7ed4f0ebbd7` |
+
+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
+honest opening workaround for either released ARM64 app. Rosetta does not
+run ARM64 apps on Intel. The README now separates that fact from Apple's
+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.

+# Official Intel Mac release test, 26 October 2026
+
+Physical **MacBookAir9,1, Intel Core i3 1.1 GHz, macOS 15.7.7 (24G720)**.
+The earlier ARM64 failure led to [#262](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/262),
+now merged. This test uses the published **v0.4.39**, tag `fd0b0a9`, rather
+than the locally built candidate. [Earlier results](mac-desktop-2026-10-26.md)
+remain a separate historical record.
+
+## Download, installation and Gatekeeper observations
+
+Downloaded `Frame-Control-mac-x64.dmg` and its same-release `SHA256SUMS`
+with `gh release download`. `shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS --ignore-missing`
+passed for the downloaded asset:
+
+```text
+f47b5a188b5090f97a72467394d4fa65ccc73fe3169a6276e2a32cab5c8019d8  Frame-Control-mac-x64.dmg
+```
+
+Also clicked that asset in T3's Chromium browser. Its 169,230,398-byte download
+had the same hash. **Neither download had `com.apple.quarantine`.** T3's
+browser is not evidence of Safari/Chrome download metadata.
+
+Mounted the verified CLI DMG read-only, preserved the task's earlier ARM64
+installation, and copied `Frame Control.app` into `/Applications` with `ditto`
+(the command-line equivalent of dragging it there). The executable is x86_64;
+`codesign -dv` reports ad hoc signing. `open "/Applications/Frame Control.app"`
+returned success and the app started its bundled Python server.
+
+**No Gatekeeper warning dialog was observed.** `spctl --assess --type execute
+-vv "/Applications/Frame Control.app"` returned exit 3 and exactly:
+
+```text
+/Applications/Frame Control.app: rejected
+```
+
+Opening this unquarantined copy needed no override. This does not establish
+the warning or opening steps for a quarantined browser download. The README
+keeps Apple's Open Anyway guidance, explicitly unverified here. No quarantine
+attribute was removed and no global security setting was changed. System
+Events inspection timed out; an AppleEvent quit request returned “User
+cancelled” (-128). Native console/menu automation remains unavailable.
+
+## Official native app results
+
+After the normal launch, a second run disabled telemetry, used a task-local
+server data directory and enabled a temporary loopback renderer debug port.
+The app bundle was not patched. The following checks used its real renderer
+and `window.frameApp` IPC bridge; they are not physical mouse/menu tests.
+
+| Check | Result and limit |
+|---|---|
+| UI | Apps, Games, Tools, Settings, Privacy & updates, Capture and Decky views rendered with the expected headings. The activity log showed the stale SSH identity warning. [Native Apps screenshot](mac-v0439-native-2026-10-26.png) |
+| Settings | Initial native preferences were `{}`. `mvSeparate="0"` saved and read back, including after a real app restart. The original preferences file was restored byte-for-byte in `finally` (or removed if originally absent) |
+| Open at Login | Still opt-in in source; no login item was enabled. Actual menu checkbox and OS login behavior remain unverified because native automation was unavailable |
+| Logs | `~/Library/Logs/Frame Control/server.log` recorded startup with the installed app's `Contents/Resources/python/bin/python3` and `ui/server.py`. Show Server Log menu interaction remains unverified |
+| Update check | Native check returned current/latest `0.4.39`, status `none`, error `null`. No update installed |
+| OBS | Native Start on port 15123 returned `starting`; Stop returned `stopping`, then `idle`. This was offline: no OBS receiver or real headset audio/video |
+| Decky store | Native Load store returned 116 entries; 40 initial rows rendered. Search found ProtonDB Badges 1.3.4 and its compatibility text. Install remained disabled; no plugin/loader installed |
+| Framey preview | No standalone local Framey preview control found. No VR runtime result claimed |
+
+Closing the app through `window.close()` stopped its processes and closed
+the debug port. **The final shutdown log exposed a bug:** stdin EOF and the
+app's SIGTERM can overlap, raising `KeyboardInterrupt` while cleanup is
+installing its ignore handler. Cleanup can then stop before releasing staging
+or SSH resources. [#284](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/284)
+changes SIGTERM to request HTTP shutdown without raising into cleanup.
+
+The regression test injects SIGTERM at that exact cleanup boundary. On this
+physical Mac with the official app's bundled Python 3.12, it failed before
+the fix with exit -2 and the observed traceback. After the fix, all **45
+server integration tests** passed, including owned staging-file cleanup.
+This validates source from the fix PR, not a fixed published app.
+
+## Headset relay and small transfer
+
+`frame.local` resolved but TCP 22 returned **No route to host**. The native
+app refused a stale SSH identity; no pin was replaced. The trusted lxso2
+coordinator relay could reach the Frame. Both shared locks were absent.
+
+The relay test atomically created `/tmp/frame-test.lock` on the coordinator
+and the headset, each with this job's owner marker. It then:
+
+- Read battery **99%, Not charging** before and after; storage total
+  **996,984,774,656 bytes**, free **769,077,035,008 bytes**.
+- Listed **7** Steam screenshot JPEGs matching
+  `userdata/*/760/remote/*/screenshots/*.jpg`; no image was copied. This narrower
+  layout-specific count differs from the earlier broad JPEG search.
+- Sent a **40-byte** test payload from this Mac through lxso2, created one
+  reserved file in the Frame user's home using exclusive creation, and read
+  it back. SHA-256 matched
+  `457485db13f80d819d5301d337502c3df050c6b3eb6202be7aac85d2af8e0b92`.
+- Deleted that exact test file and released only the matching owned locks.
+  A separate SSH read verified the file and both locks were absent.
+
+This proves a bounded relay transfer, not native Mac app file transfer or
+direct `frame.local` connectivity. No existing headset file, app, service,
+power setting or SteamVR state was changed. The headset was not wiped or
+rebooted. Real OBS and wearer/controller interaction remain unverified.
+
+The DMG was ejected; the native app, debug port and task browser tab were
+closed; the desk hold was released. The official app remains installed for
+reproduction. No social post was made; PR #113 was left alone.

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

 - **Works** requires verified useful plugin behavior with its real backend. Read the reason for the verified scope and remaining limits; it does not imply worn-VR verification.
- **Partial** means a limited frontend/settings surface initialized or rendered. Backend-dependent functionality remains unverified; it is not an end-to-end success claim.
+- **Partial** means only a subset or a local fixture scope was verified, often just frontend/settings initialization. The remaining backend/device functionality is unverified; read the reason for the exact scope.
 - **Broken** means a concrete archive, frontend or Steam dependency blocks the audited version. An artificial backend/network denial alone is not evidence that the real backend is broken.
 - **N/A** means the plugin targets hardware or a display/UI surface that Framey does not provide. The store disables installation for these versions.

A [local audio follow-up](evidence/framey-audio-backends-2026-10-26.md) exercised Volume Mixer, Volume Boost and Mixer through real Decky 3.3.0 amd64 backends on private silent virtual audio targets. Sliders, numeric volume entry, independent server readbacks and Mixer filter persistence across a runtime restart passed. These three stay partial: real ARM64 Frame audio dependencies/session mapping remain unverified because the shared headset lock was occupied. A [library context follow-up](evidence/framey-library-context-2026-10-26.md) read 1,106 app overviews, 895 game IDs and the current public Steam ID from real Frame CEF under the shared lock. Local Chromium replayed this detached snapshot to render Deck Settings game selection, Steamback's empty save panel and PlayTime statistics/settings. Steamback and PlayTime used actual Decky 3.3.0 amd64 backends in an isolated container; their ARM64 backends and automatic game hooks remain unverified. Shotty's frontend now starts, but its published backend fails on missing `click`; it stays broken. Other official backends remain unexecuted. The separate VR job proves Frame Control/sample compositor rendering, not any official plugin. No worn-VR official-plugin result is claimed. A [local UI follow-up](evidence/framey-ui-fallbacks-2026-10-26.json) rendered Pause Games and Tailscale Control settings with all backend/network actions denied; it does not verify process pausing or Tailscale changes.

 ## Native payload portability

 All published Linux native payloads in this snapshot are x86_64; no published aarch64 payload was found. The three Windows DLLs belong to Decky-Framegen. The installer still rejects these archives.
