+# Emuchievements ARM64 hash helper feasibility, 26 October 2026
+
+The exact official Emuchievements 2.0.5 archive (store ID 28, SHA-256
+`98dcb443e81b9f9011cfe77c69eb659869c8e2df2df8b0a443df66cbfc2f5a89`)
+contains an x86_64 `Emuchievements/bin/hash`. Frame Control still blocks
+that archive on ARM64; this experiment did not install the plugin.
+
+The upstream source commit
+[`8567e94befffc943434b2adb842487274815f8bb`](https://github.com/EmuDeck/Emuchievements/commit/8567e94befffc943434b2adb842487274815f8bb)
+declares version 2.0.5. Its `src/py/main.py` matches the published ZIP's
+`Emuchievements/main.py` byte for byte (SHA-256
+`d4e72f136c94e48919575937ec4190f28864cc259eb111ef47f0df99f5912645`).
+The pinned build dependencies at that commit are libarchive
+`b3be94ba4f36943745e64a6a0a3c21c2d1281d3c`, libchdr
+`a20e04c12c0c20048bf771da6df7aa2e51f5e0cb`, and rcheevos
+`85a3209398e576d79170f569fcddf277640f3f06`.
+
+On a separate Linux host, the version-matched source and submodules built an
+x86_64 `hash` with CMake. It and the official x86_64 binary both returned
+`ff78ca6c21ac11504dbddbd5d4e7524a` for one synthetic `.rom` file. An
+isolated Debian cross-build using `gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu` and
+`g++-aarch64-linux-gnu` produced an AArch64 binary with SHA-256
+`9c7aedb80bdd64941aa5dd9b41f9bb8471411c812e04c7ee7d60486779d99997`.
+It links to `liblzma.so.5`, `libstdc++.so.6`, `libgcc_s.so.1`, and `libc.so.6`.
+
+A real Frame test acquired `/tmp/frame-test.lock` atomically with a unique
+owner before reading the device. SteamVR activity was **3** (standby),
+proximity raw **3.0625**, and battery **100%**. The ARM64 helper ran against
+the same synthetic ROM in a private `/tmp` directory, exited 0, and returned
+the same hash. The owned directory and lock were removed. No normal service,
+power setting, Steam library, real ROM, or installed plugin was changed.
+The separate host's source/build directory was also removed after the test.
+
+This proves only a single-file helper path. The official ZIP remains blocked
+because it still bundles x86_64 bytes. A release-ready port needs a packaged
+ARM64 helper with GPL-3.0 source and license compliance, format-specific hash
+coverage (including archives and CHD), a managed plugin transaction, actual
+Decky backend and frontend checks, and cleanup. RetroAchievements login,
+real ROM scanning, wearer-visible VR, and physical controller use remain
+unverified.

+# Music Control 1.1.7 bound-method compatibility, 26 October 2026
+
+The official Decky store archive for ID 111, version 1.1.7, is
+`3f56a3f56034b277ea74a2c37cc84133b69e382aa6bcb0b43876776aac737ed9`
+(SHA-256). The pinned `tests/fixtures/framey-official/111.zip` matches that
+digest and includes the upstream license.
+
+The unchanged backend fails before it reaches D-Bus: `sp_list_media_players`
+raises `TypeError: Plugin._get_dbus_env() takes 1 positional argument but 2
+were given`, and `sp_play` raises the corresponding `_sp_player_dbus` argument
+error. The source passes `self` explicitly to methods already bound by Python.
+
+For this exact store ID, archive digest and folder, a managed install removes
+the redundant argument at the five affected call sites. It checks the number
+of occurrences before writing `main.py` and records
+`music-control-bound-methods` in the managed receipt. The original ZIP remains
+the verified download; the older ID 12 archive is installed without this
+change.
+
+`test_exact_music_control_backend_calls_work_after_managed_install` installs
+the official ZIP through the production transaction script into a disposable
+home. It imports the patched backend and exercises player enumeration,
+selection, play/pause, next/previous, volume and playback-status calls against
+a private fake `dbus-send` executable that records the actual command
+arguments. It then removes the plugin through the receipt-bound transaction.
+The same test confirms ID 12 retains its original backend source. The focused
+store suite passed **23/23** tests locally. The pinned frontend/fake-Frame
+install/remove tests are part of the hosted gate.
+
+This proves that the Python argument mismatch no longer prevents backend
+command dispatch in the isolated fixture. The fixture is not an MPRIS player.
+Actual Decky 3.3.0 ARM64 execution, live player discovery, media transport,
+volume effects, album-art routing, and wearer-visible VR controls have not
+been verified. Music Control remains **partial**.

+This is a static, digest-scoped follow-up. Neither plugin was installed or

+It was downloaded and hash-checked without executing any member. Of its 27
+members, `decky-cloud-save/bin/rclone` is a regular executable of **60,776,600
+bytes** with ELF machine **62 (x86_64)**. The installer permits at most 30 MiB
+per member, so this exact ZIP fails before native architecture validation.
+Raising that limit alone would still leave an x86_64 executable on the ARM64
+Frame. No cloud credentials, saves, reads or writes were exercised.
+
+## Emuchievements 2.0.5, store ID 28
+
+The official ZIP SHA-256 is
+`98dcb443e81b9f9011cfe77c69eb659869c8e2df2df8b0a443df66cbfc2f5a89`.
+The [earlier helper check](framey-emuchievements-arm-2026-10-26.md) proved
+one synthetic ROM hash on ARM64, without installing the plugin. The upstream
+source commit `8567e94befffc943434b2adb842487274815f8bb` and its pinned
+libarchive, libchdr and rcheevos submodules were checked out separately for
+this audit. The source is GPL-3.0. An isolated Debian ARM64 cross-build made a
+2.6 MB helper (`c8794558a0d75294930f969a426e7d2ac13a27e3c1ff9bd8aae093e31596b9bd`),
+but it was **not shipped or run on ROM archives**. A complete source bundle
+without Git metadata compressed to about 8 MB; source and license distribution
+would be part of any release-ready port.
+
+The proposed source has an additional blocker. `backend/src/util.cpp` builds
+an extraction destination by appending each raw archive member pathname to
+an owned `/tmp/tmpdir.*` prefix, then passes it to libarchive's disk writer.
+It neither rejects `..`/absolute paths nor enables libarchive's secure path
+flags. `backend/src/main.cpp` later removes the extracted file's parent path.
+With an untrusted archive, those paths may leave the intended temporary
+directory. The plugin's Python backend also invokes `bin/hash` through a
+shell with a path argument. A port needs bounded path validation, secure
+extraction/cleanup, safe subprocess arguments, format coverage and actual
+Decky/backend tests before its official ZIP can be transformed or installed.
+
+The official archive still contains an x86_64 helper. RetroAchievements
+login, real ROM scanning, a packaged ARM64 backend, wearer-visible VR and
+physical controller use remain unverified.

+Intel Mac. It merged at main commit
+`035c59ee1134aa158c3cd818e8dd35f822cbfc4b`. The seven-job post-merge
+main [checks run](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/actions/runs/40342375912)
+passed, including iOS and fake-Frame e2e. Annotated tag `v0.4.47`

+The [candidate evidence](v0447-candidate-2026-10-26.md) records a locked
+exact-version real Frame smoke: **12 passed / one optional x86 launch skipped /
+zero failed**, with owned cleanup and lock release. The x86 launch needs Steam
+Linux Runtime 4, which was absent. The headset was in standby and no wearer was
+confirmed, so the interactive worn-check script was not run. No panel or
+physical-controller claim follows from the smoke.
+
+The draft contained exactly ten installers and `SHA256SUMS`, each with a
+GitHub SHA-256 digest. An independently downloaded `SHA256SUMS` matched a
+fresh ten-line list regenerated from GitHub asset metadata byte for byte;
+its SHA-256 was

+`scripts/publish-release.sh --dry-run v0.4.47` passed the tag, installer,
+checksum, and update-manifest gates after release notes were attached.

+ran `scripts/frame-smoke.sh` on SteamOS 0.5.6 build `20261022.6153909`.
+The runner acquired its own unique `/tmp/frame-test.lock` owner before
+reading device status. Preflight found SteamVR activity **3** (standby),
+proximity raw **3.0625**, and battery **99%**. Owned ARM64 and Windows/Proton
+titles installed, launched and were removed. The optional x86_64 title
+installed and was removed; its launch was **skipped** because Steam Linux
+Runtime 4 was absent. The result was **12 passed / 1 skipped / 0 failed**.
+Owned cleanup passed and the command exited 0, including lock release.
+A separate fresh locked read found battery **100%**, activity **3** and no
+`fc_smoke_*` title directories; it released only its own lock. The private
+runner result is `2026-10-26T153655Z-20261022.6153909.json`.
+
+At 15:42 UTC, exact version-bumped commit
+`a31b4a426cf4204e45fe218e204a26328aa0b1c9` ran the same token-locked
+smoke. Preflight found activity **3**, proximity raw **3.0625** and battery
+**100%**. It passed **12 / 1 optional x86 launch skipped / 0 failed**.
+Cleanup passed and the command exited 0 after releasing its lock. The
+private runner result is `2026-10-26T154258Z-20261022.6153909.json`.
+A fresh separately locked read found battery **100%**, activity **3** and
+no test-title directories, then released that lock. Merging current main
+into the candidate created commit
+`a8bf01d660cd9abb8d2a724626a06a0e7e6c2a6a`; its tree before this
+evidence document was byte-identical to the tested version-bumped commit

+No wearer was confirmed. Neither smoke woke the headset or ran the

+controllers, VR keyboard and optical comfort remain unverified. The hourly
+shared-lock worn check remains enabled.

Existing installations require update/reinstall to repair permissions. A [read-only installed-metadata follow-up](evidence/framey-installed-context-2026-10-26.md) now repairs the About crash. The library snapshot copies only Steam-supplied installed booleans into detached metadata, preserving unknown values as undefined. Junk-Store About/Dependencies, Back and reopen render in local Chromium with actual Frame library data and the official ARM64 backend. It remains partial: dependency/login/game operations, RSS, the optional Line truncated
