spoopyghosty0 6423739ae6 Rebuild artifacts for #293, #329, #303, #327/#328, #323, #306, #349 and the snapshot fallback
FrameBridge (libopenxr_loader_generic.so, arm64-v8a + armeabi-v7a) rebuilt from the merged adapter sources: rect_clamp empty rects (#293), alpha_blend_emul (#329), foveation storage under Valve's FDM (#303), profile_remap profile report + detached-controller paths (#327/#328), action_dedup (#323), quad/cylinder snapshots, refresh-rate answer (#306), hide_fb_foveation (#349). The other targets rebuild to the committed bytes.

spoopyghosty0 d7810d28b7 Unreal Binned3 reservations with MAP_NORESERVE (frame.unreal_noreserve, GitHub #349)
Transformers Beyond Reality (UE5, FMallocBinned3) reserves 76 GiB with one
mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS) while libUnreal.so's
static constructors run. Quest grants it; the Frame's kernel (overcommit mode 0) refuses a
writable private mapping larger than RAM + swap, and Unreal's out-of-memory handler then
dereferences its not yet created log: SIGSEGV fault addr 0x10 inside System.loadLibrary.

The patch adds MAP_NORESERVE to every anonymous read/write mmap call site of the engine
library (mov w3, #0x22 -> #0x4022 before a bl to mmap's PLT stub, with x0 = 0 and w2 = 3
in the window), suggested from analysis unreal_binned3 (ANALYSIS_VERSION 22 on main). Triage
unreal-reserve-refused, PLAYBOOK row, tests. Headless on the dev Frame the game now gets
past loading to its OpenXR session and first frames.

ELF helpers find .dynsym/.dynstr/.dynamic by section type and link instead of by name: this
game's libOVRPlugin.so has a scrambled section name table, so add_needed raised
"produced NEEDED=[...]" and the build failed in frame.unreal_ovrp_entrypoints, and
dyn_symbols returned nothing (every ovrp_* lookup then counted as missing).

spoopyghosty0 8986aa7040 FrameBridge: answer xrGetDisplayRefreshRateFB with the real rate (PreyVR black menu, #306)
The Frame's runtime has no XR_FB_display_refresh_rate (-7); OVRPort's dispatcher still
offers it and answered 0 Hz. Team Beef's idTech 4 ports run USERCMD_MSEC = 1000 / refresh,
so PreyVR had 0 ms tics: the async thread spun (~1.9M tics/s), com_frameTime stayed 0 and
the main menu's timeline never got past its first step (black backdrop + cursor only).
FrameBridge now always answers with 1 / predictedDisplayPeriod (else the refresh_rate
setting, else 72 Hz). Headless: menu drawn (snapshot mean 68 vs 0.1 before), clocks advance.

- glmv: gl_mv_debug=2 traces draws (state, GL errors per framebuffer), failed texture
  uploads/copies/compiles and idTech 4 clocks; how this was found
- triage: a single xrEndFrame -16 is info, not the black-menu error it was blamed for
- PLAYBOOK row, CLAUDE.md fact, host test for the fallback rate

spoopyghosty0 a1dd3bc7b6 adapter: snapshots fall back to a quad/cylinder layer and log brightness
Frames without a projection layer (e.g. PreyVR's menu, a cylinder layer only) gave no snapshot. The snapshot now
takes the first quad/cylinder layer's image instead and logs the layer type, image area, array index and the mean/max
brightness of the submitted area, so a black image shows in the log without fetching the file (#306).

spoopyghosty0 2e1622c56b FrameBridge: unique controller action names (#323)
Scared By Squares (Unreal 4.27, OpenXR) creates two actions named "turn"
(an action mapping and an axis mapping called Turn). The Frame's runtime
accepts the duplicate, then vrserver fails to load the input manifest it
builds ("SetXrInputConfig failed. Failed to load manifest"), drops the
app's connection and treats it as exited: black, then the home environment
while the game keeps running with sound. Headless the app reconnected as a
plain OpenXR instance, got throttled to 10 fps and the compositor received
no presents.

- action_dedup (adapter setting, default on): a later duplicate action name
  or localized name in a set is created as "<name>_N" / "<Localized> N"
  (native/adapter/action_names.h, host-tested). Headless on the dev Frame:
  manifest loads, 72 fps, 2808 presents in 45 s (before: 10 fps, none).
- input_diag logs every action set and action (escaped names).
- force_render (hidden diagnostic): xrWaitFrame reports shouldRender=TRUE so
  headless runs exercise engines that skip layers when not visible; FrameBridge
  logs shouldRender changes.
- Triage: space-warp-used only on the motion-vector swapchain (format 97);
  D24S8 (129) eye depth falsely matched. New info finding duplicate-action-renamed.
- Catalog entry (status unknown, min_app 1.2.1), PLAYBOOK row.

spoopyghosty0 1d586d370b FrameBridge profile_remap: leave Meta's detached-controller paths out (#328)
Meta's Unity OpenXR features add Detached Touch/Touch Plus/Pro devices on
/user/detached_controller_meta/left|right. Unity merges same-named actions of all devices, so the
first such action (thumbstick) failed with XR_ERROR_PATH_UNSUPPORTED on the Frame (no
XR_META_detached_controllers), Unity attached no action set and neither Unity nor OVRPlugin got
controller input: hands on the floor (Spatial Zombies). Without the extension in the runtime, these
paths are now left out of xrCreateAction subaction paths and suggested bindings, and
xrGetCurrentInteractionProfile answers no profile for them. Headless: actions created, Touch
bindings accepted, action spaces created, no ACTIONSET_NOT_ATTACHED.
2026-10-17 01:55:30 -04:00
spoopyghosty0 e439623baa FrameBridge profile_remap: report the game's own profile for remapped hands (#327, #328)
Games that suggest controller bindings only for Meta's Touch Plus/Pro profiles got them moved to
oculus/touch_controller, but xrGetCurrentInteractionProfile then answered oculus/touch_controller,
a profile they never suggested. Unity's OpenXR input creates its devices by the reported profile,
found none and left the controllers unconnected: hands lying on the floor, no buttons (Hotel
Infinity). Such hands are now reported with the game's own (last remapped) profile; games that
suggest Touch themselves are unchanged. Logic moved to profile_report.c with a host test.

spoopyghosty0 6c82789a72 Foveation: keep eye swapchains ordinary under Valve's FDM (#303)
Unity's Oculus XR plugin asks for SUBSAMPLED eye images through
XR_META_vulkan_swapchain_create_info. With device.foveation on, Valve's
injected FDM leaves their coarse areas in the subsampled layout and the
compositor shows them as garbage around the sharp area (Medieval
Dynasty: black with scattered coloured blocks). foveation_fix=1 only
dropped the XrSwapchainCreateInfoFoveationFB nodes.

The adapter's storage fix (clear SUBSAMPLED from the META node) now runs
whenever foveation_storage_fix is set, also with foveation_fix, and
device.foveation tracked/fixed sets it. Generic form of Batman's
OVRPlugin allocation fix. Adapter rebuilt; revision not bumped.

spoopyghosty0 a294359a4e FrameBridge: emulate inverse alpha blending with passthrough (#329)
Star Wars: Beyond Victory's mixed reality showed the room on the game's
objects and black where the room should be. Unreal keeps 1 - coverage in
the scene alpha, and OVRPlugin chains XrCompositionLayerAlphaBlendFB
(colour ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA / SRC_ALPHA) to the eye layer; the Frame's
runtime ignores the struct and blends with the plain texture alpha.

New adapter setting alpha_blend_emul (default on, Vulkan): while
passthrough is emulated and the projection layer asks for inverse
blending, the alpha of the eye image rectangles is inverted in place
(alpha-only blend pass, once per acquired image, queued ahead of the
runtime's submission). layer_debug now also logs the blend factors.
Headless on the Frame: factors (3,2/3,2) seen, inversion runs, 72 fps,
no rejected frames. Not yet checked in the headset.

spoopyghosty0 277dd99645 Cpp2IL crashes aren't "code not found"; triage orders replayed logcat lines by date (#293)
- il2cpp._run: a non-zero exit or no .cs file under DiffableCs is an unreadable game. The release Cpp2IL dies on
  BattleTalent (Unity 2021.3.45f2, exit 134, IndexOutOfRangeException in CsFileUtils.GetTypeName) after making the
  folder tree; every class was recorded "missing" and cached.
- find_methods: any release failure gets one try with the development build (it reads BattleTalent), not only an
  unsupported metadata version; never with a caller's Cpp2IL or FRAMEPORT_CPP2IL. Errors are cached as errors,
  never as missing classes; cache entries with no class found and every wanted class missing are run again.
- Il2cppReturnPatch: Cpp2IL failures become the same WARN check as "code not found" but with Cpp2IL's error line;
  the method list in the WARN has no duplicates.
- triage: logcat times include the date (logcat replays kernel lines dated days earlier ahead of the game's; by time
  of day the "past midnight" guess gave a healthy run frames-stopped 83261 s). Year wrap handled.

spoopyghosty0 9cacc0eacc Unity IL2CPP fixes warn when they find nothing; FrameBridge fills empty image rects (#293)
- Il2cppReturnPatch (unity_runtime_msaa_off, unity_multipass, unity_text_input, ...): a patch that is turned on
  but whose methods Cpp2IL doesn't find in the game now logs it and adds a WARN build check naming the patch
  ("not applied (<id>): code not found in this game ...") instead of skipping silently. ApkContext.checks =
  checks a patch reports while applying; apply_frame_fixes adds them to the build's checks (job/CLI output,
  build record). WARN only: the build still succeeds.
- FrameBridge rect_clamp: an empty projection/quad image rect (BattleTalent's first frames: 0,0 0x0 ->
  xrEndFrame -25 twice, then OVRPlugin stops submitting) becomes the whole swapchain image when its size is
  known; counted as swapped, logged ("rect_clamp: view N empty image rect -> full swapchain WxH"). Adapter
  revision unchanged; artifacts rebuilt.

spoopyghosty0 728a009f22 a32 translator: end JIT blocks before the exit-stub table is full (GitHub #342)
Pinball FX2 VR (32-bit, through the a32 bridge) died ~2 s after its loading
screen with "a32: block at 0xf68587a0 overflowed the code buffer" (exit 127):
OpenSSL's sha1_block_data_order_armv8 (reached from RAND_poll) has ~60 SHA-1
crypto instructions in a row, each translated through the interpreter with
its own exit stub, and the block loop only stopped at 96 instructions or half
the code buffer, so the 64-entry stub table overflowed and fatal() ended the
process. The loop now also ends a block while 8 stubs are left.

Headless on the dev Frame the game now runs on past that point (menu-size
swapchains, recenter, its save files written) instead of exiting.
tests/programs/sha1ce.c (72 crypto instructions in a row + an unrolled SHA-1)
failed with the old a32run and passes with the new one, JIT = interpreter.
Triage signature a32-jit-overflow, PLAYBOOK row; frame.a32_bridge marks only
Pinball FX2 VR "Update on Frame" (package_revisions).

spoopyghosty0 80cb20980e Play services' folded Android 12 checks (#310) and USB MIDI polling (#297) on Android 11
Titan Isles (#310) died on GoogleApiHandler with NoSuchMethodError permitUnsafeIntentLaunch(): not the
missing Play services but play-services-basement's PlatformVersion.isAtLeastS()/isAtLeastSv2(), which R8
folded to `return true` in this minSdk 32 build. frame.gms_platform_version makes such constant checks for
Android 12+ return false again (analysis gms_folded_sdk_checks, triage gms-android12-call). Headless on the
dev Frame: runs, 72 fps, no crash.

PianoVision (#297), after frame.unity_appui_vibrator, crashed on MidiDeviceConnectionWatchThread: kshoji's
USB MIDI driver polls UsbManager, and Lepton has no USB service (null). frame.usb_midi_watcher makes
checkConnectedDevices return at once (analysis usb_midi_watcher, triage usb-midi-watcher). Host-tested.

spoopyghosty0 1321caabab Unity App UI: start without Android 12's VibratorManager (frame.unity_appui_vibrator, #297)
PianoVision quit about a second after start on the Frame: Unity App UI's activity
(com.unity3d.player.appui.AppUIGameActivity) calls getSystemService("vibrator_manager") and casts to
android.os.VibratorManager in onCreate without a version check; Lepton runs Android 11, so
NoClassDefFoundError before Unity starts. The sequence now leaves its registers null (the field store and
the rest of onCreate stay) and the activity's methods that read the vibrator return at once (in-place dex
edit). Suggested by analysis unity_appui_vibrator (ANALYSIS_VERSION 20) and triage unity-appui-vibrator.

spoopyghosty0 0f964b8483 frame.cortopia_org_id: Cortopia games stuck on the loading screen (GitHub #360)
Escaping Wonderland's Meta start-up (OculusPlatform.<Initialize>d__13) awaits
Users.GetOrgScopedID after the licence check and the logged-in user, when on
Wi-Fi, only for its analytics id. OVRPort's ovr_User_GetOrgScopedID returns
request id 0, Meta's C# wrapper logs "An unknown error occurred. Request
failed." and never calls back, so the game waits forever. The patch takes the
game's own no-Wi-Fi path for that request (b.ne after cmp w0,#2 on
get_internetReachability -> b, found with Cpp2IL). Analysis flag
cortopia_org_id (ANALYSIS_VERSION 20), triage cortopia-org-id-wait, PLAYBOOK
row, tests. Headless on the dev Frame: past the loading screen into the intro
scene (adventurer spawned), 72 fps.

spoopyghosty0 0775d32255 Photon Voice: skip Android 12 audio routing (GitHub #362, #325)
Photon Voice's AudioInAEC.updateAudioDevice calls getAvailableCommunicationDevices/setCommunicationDevice with no version check; on Lepton's Android 11 the microphone thread dies with NoSuchMethodError (Table Troopers at the tutorial). New patch frame.photon_voice_audio_route (analysis photon_voice_api31, ANALYSIS_VERSION 20) makes it return at once, sharing vivox_audio_route's helper; Vivox's patch is unchanged. Triage vivox-api31 / photon-voice-api31 now look for the SDK in the stack; other libraries fall to audio-api31 (report).

Sections now run from what most users need to what only some need:
Updates, Installing, Library folders, Appearance, Data, Problems and
feedback, Install links, Tools, This PC, About, Uninstall. Updates gains a
Games part: game recipes from GitHub (moved from Data) and the new
"Check games from install links for new versions" switch with its last
check and Check now. Inside sections the common options come first
(Installing: parallel uploads and video before keep-copies; Updates: dev
build last; Appearance: language first when a translation exists).

and, at start (at most every 6 h), fetches remembered web manifests again;
a newer version marks the game link_update. The Library bar and the game
page offer to download and install it (one confirmation, same download path
as a first install, a name the user gave is kept). CLI: frameport
link-updates [--install]. Docs: INSTALL_BUTTON.md.

spoopyghosty0 39e1762e53 Game menu: Update with a newer version… for Linux apps and PC VR games (#161)
Follow-up to "Update with a newer APK…": Linux apps take their new AppImage/archive or folder (a file or a folder
picker, like the app was added), PC VR games their new game folder. pipeline.replace_linux_app / replace_rift_game
re-run the add path (add_linux_app(replace=) / add_rift_game(replace=)): the entry keeps its package (so the Steam
shortcut), name, artwork, tags, switches and the user's recipe; a folder keeps the program chosen before if it's still
there, else FramePort picks again (and asks, for ambiguous PC VR games). A name that looks like another app's is
allowed with a heads-up.

The entry gets a new source_id, recorded in the deployment's recipe at install (no agent change):
components.source_replaced shows the Frame copy (and a PC install, pc_outdated) as outdated until then. Such an
install also re-sends same-size files changed after the last install (installer.changed_since), since uploads
otherwise skip files the Frame has with the same size. The old PC VR folder is left out of later scans
(replaced_dirs). CLI: frameport new-version <game> <path> (APKs too). Docs: INSTALL.md.

spoopyghosty0 3d260dccb1 OpenSSH uploads log in like the Frame connection; SSH key files in Settings (#242)
A Frame that only authorizes the user's own key refused OpenSSH, which
offered FramePort's keys alone (IdentitiesOnly), so every upload fell back
to Paramiko. The connection now records which login worked (Frame.auth):
after a login with this PC's own keys/agent OpenSSH also offers private
copies of ~/.ssh/id_* (OpenSSH skips its defaults once -i is given) and the
agent; a refused strict login is retried that way once. FramePort doesn't
add its key to the Frame for this.

New: Settings > Installing > SSH keys (library ssh.extra_keys, CLI
frameport frame ssh-keys): extra private key files for the connection and
OpenSSH, checked with Paramiko (passphrase keys: use the agent). OpenSSH
runs with -v and a refused login's error lists the keys offered and its
warnings. whoami's SID is read from bytes (non-ASCII user names).
Checked with Windows ssh.exe/sftp.exe against the Frame.

spoopyghosty0 26a34ddadb OpenSSH uploads: don't escape glob characters inside sftp's quotes (#324)
sftp escapes * ? [ inside double quotes itself, so FramePort's extra
backslash became part of the path: a folder named "... [ENG] ..." failed
every OpenSSH upload (on Linux too) and fell back to Paramiko. On Windows
the local path now goes with forward slashes: Win32-OpenSSH turned every
backslash, escapes included, into '/' ("C://Users", "/[ENG]").
Checked with Windows sftp.exe and Linux sftp against the Frame (put and
reput, sha256 match).

Deadly Delivery 1.0.30 renders (72 fps), then its lobby's Meta entitlement check

so the Quest log had no finding. New Quest signature meta-entitlement (error:

headless. Identity/credentials stay in CLAUDE.local.md.

spoopyghosty0 6cd1eaaf23 adapter: show a per-eye cylinder menu to both eyes (fix black curved menus)
Doom3Quest-based ports (PreyVR, #306) draw their menu on a curved
cylinder layer submitted once per eye. The Frame's runtime has no
cylinder layers, so FrameBridge shows each as ~7 flat quad strips; a
per-eye pair is ~14 quad layers in one frame, which the runtime rejects
whole (xrEndFrame -> XR_ERROR_LAYER_INVALID, -16). The menu then stays
black while the game runs at 72 fps.

Collapse the pair: drop the right-eye cylinder and show the left eye's
strips to both eyes (the runtime composites a quad to both eyes anyway).
That halves the layer count and drops the per-eye eyeVisibility, and the
runtime accepts the frame. Only frames with per-eye cylinders change --
exactly the ones that were being rejected; mono (BOTH) cylinder games
such as 4XVR are untouched.

Verified on the dev Frame (headless): PreyVR v1.2.4 rebuilt + installed,
the menu frame now submits (one transient -16 on the first frame before
the space is locatable, then clean), 72 fps. Visual confirmation of the
menu needs the headset. Triage signature cylinder-menu-layers-rejected.

No adapter revision bump (installed games are not marked outdated).

spoopyghosty0 741af0651e adapter: log the created swapchain handle in xrCreateSwapchain
Diagnostics only (no behaviour change): the "new layer ... usable=0"
line prints a layer's swapchain pointer, but creation logged only the
result, so a dropped layer couldn't be matched to the xrCreateSwapchain
that made (or failed to make) its swapchain. Needed to pin why a quad
"screen layer" is dropped (#306 PreyVR: menu rendered to a quad whose
swapchain FrameBridge reports as not usable).

Medal of Honor (com.Virtuos.R6DLM) keeps Epic's DownloaderActivity and log text but renames the delivery predicates
and OBBData, so expansionFilesDelivered wasn't found and frame.unreal_skip_obb_delivery was never offered. Detection
now also matches a boolean method in the package's DownloaderActivity, called from onCreate, that carries Epic's
"Checking for file : " log and calls the expansion-downloader helpers; the patch rewrites those too. ANALYSIS_VERSION
18 -> 19. Heuristics eval unchanged (10/66); no existing recipe affected.

spoopyghosty0 9eef555bf2 cube_standin: serve a refused cube swapchain on Vulkan too (#296 UNDERDOGS)
The GLES-only stand-in left Vulkan games (UNDERDOGS: VkFormat 43, faces=6) with the runtime's refusal, so OVRPlugin
crashed in ovrp_EndFrame4. When there's no GLES context, the adapter now makes a cube-compatible VkImage (6 layers,
the requested format/size/mips, usage from the XR flags) with the app's device/queue and a private transient pool,
transitions it to COLOR_ATTACHMENT_OPTIMAL, and enumerates it as a Vulkan image; its cube layers are still dropped.
GLES behaviour is unchanged. Adapter rebuilt deterministically (both ABIs).

("duplicate VDF key") and Add to Steam library failed. Duplicates are now merged into one key: Steam's capitalized
spelling kept, the last value taken. Clean files still round-trip unchanged.

spoopyghosty0 aeabb3df5a Uploads: stream small-file tar batches over OpenSSH too, Paramiko fallback (Discussion #242)
Only big files (>=8 MiB) used OpenSSH; games made mostly of small files stayed on Paramiko and were slow on a fast
link. native_upload.put_tar streams the same tar batch through system ssh with the paired key and pinned host key;
on any failure the install falls back to Paramiko's put_tar and logs it, and doesn't retry OpenSSH for later batches.
The job log now names the transport for each part. upload_bench gains app-small / paramiko-small comparisons.

spoopyghosty0 d073541a83 Triage: name both OBB-check options (#159), Vulkan caveat for cube stand-in (#296), flag frames-that-started-then-stopped (#301)
- unreal-obb-check-stuck names frame.unreal_skip_obb_check (CRC, needs bVerifyOBBOnStartUp) and
  frame.unreal_skip_obb_delivery (the Java name/size gate), and says neither is a guaranteed fix.
- cube-swapchain-refused: the stand-in is GLES-only; a Vulkan game can't use it yet.
- A game that submitted projection frames but then logged no pacing summary for 20 s (process alive) is reported as
  frames-stopped (info), so a hang like SKYBOX's signature check isn't a false pass. Headless no-tracking ends are
  excluded.

entry with only that field: listed under its package name, "Update ready", and Update / Game settings failed with
KeyError 'recipe'. library.set_fields updates existing entries only (last played, test and session results, tags,
toggles); a one-time migration drops entries made of side notes alone.

launcher's start (logcat -T <epoch>) when the mirror never wrote, else from just before its last line. The reader
restarts from where it ended, stops when Lepton's lines come back, the container's log buffer is 16 MiB, and every
decision goes to logcat-keeper.log.

spoopyghosty0 927dae5ff8 Merge main into aarch32testing; maintainer fixes for the 32-bit bridge
Merged main (agent 90, ANALYSIS_VERSION 17/18 after main's 15/16) and rebuilt the bridge, foveation and a32
libraries from source (deterministic, no local paths).

Fixes on top:
- a32 loader: apply DT_ANDROID_RELR relocations (Journey of the Gods crashed at start)
- VrApi bridge: vrapi_Get/SetTrackingTransform (floor-level tracking; Shadow Point's player was below the floor)
- a32: never submit an untracked default head pose (hold up to 100 ms, repair or drop); pose consistency per display
  time; submit/tracking counters
- VrApi bridge: wait again when xrWaitFrame gives a display time in the refresh just submitted (the runtime rejected
  the second frame with AlreadySubmitted; Journey of the Gods ran at ~120 fps on a 90 Hz display and the scene slid
  and snapped back); pacing counters
- VrApi bridge: GLES re-entry polls events before reusing the kept session (a lost or exiting session is replaced, a
  stopped one waits for READY)
- VrApi bridge: STAGE is the runtime's STAGE space (play-area centre and orientation, unchanged by recentering);
  LOCAL_FLOOR keeps the head-based origin
- signer certificate: pick the certificate the SignerInfo names, not the first in the PKCS#7 block
- flat 32-bit apps keep the bridge (it isn't a VR-only fix)
- Frida gadget loads are stripped before translation
- launcher restart test fixed; native/.cache is no longer committed
- catalog: Shadow Point and Journey of the Gods work (headset, 2026-10-14; min_app 1.1.2)

UnicronNLandClaude Opus 5.5 a37c75aec8 VrApi bridge: recenter from the head after the runtime's recenter
Holding the Frame's menu button turned 32-bit (and other VrApi bridge)
games 90-120 degrees to the side. The bridge's app space is LOCAL plus
the head's yaw at the start; the runtime's recenter moves LOCAL to the
head, so that old yaw was applied again. On a LOCAL reference space
change (and on vrapi_RecenterPose, ignored before) the origin is taken
from the head again in the first frame after the change, and VrApi's
recenter count goes up. Owner-verified with Gunjack.

The upstream patches are regenerated against OVRPort 5e7df52 (they
were missing the FOV cache changes).

UnicronNLandClaude Opus 5.5 a7b5acbd14 Library migration a32_bridge_on: the 32-bit bridge for existing 32-bit games
Recipes the user edited (source "user") are never re-derived, so a 32-bit
game whose recipe was saved before the bridge existed kept OVRPort and the
64-bit fixes and no bridge. Since 95c5de9 such a recipe can't be built at
all (build.check_a32), so it needed fixing by hand.

The one-time migration a32_bridge_on (library._migrate, after
quest_binary_fixes_v2, which adds frame.vk_sanitize to every Quest recipe)
goes over every 32-bit-only game once:
- adds frame.a32_bridge with the patch's own reason, unless the game's
  catalog entry removes it (frame_remove)
- then engine.a32_recipe as for a bridge just turned on: OVRPort and the
  64-bit fixes off, device.text_input_window for Unity, a pre-bridge
  "unsupported" becomes "unknown"; the recipe stays the user's
- recipes that already have the bridge only lose what it replaces
- skips 64-bit games, PC VR / Linux entries and "install unchanged" games

It runs once per library, so a bridge the user switches off afterwards
stays off.

Tests: a user recipe from before the bridge is migrated, a catalog
frame_remove and a 64-bit game are left alone, switching the bridge off
afterwards sticks; the game page switch test now starts from a migrated
library.

UnicronNLandClaude Opus 5.5 a305ecc43b a32 bridge: switch off what it replaces, and win over pre-bridge catalog verdicts
Two ways a 32-bit game ended up with a recipe that couldn't work:

- Catalog entries written before the bridge existed (Journey of the Gods,
  Shadow Point: "unsupported: the Frame has no AArch32") dropped the
  heuristic bridge suggestion like any other patch the entry didn't choose.
- Turning the bridge on by hand kept OVRPort and the 64-bit-only fixes
  (e.g. frame.vk_sanitize) on; they then failed in the build.

Now:
- A catalog entry for a 32-bit game that neither names nor removes
  frame.a32_bridge counts as older than the bridge: the bridge stays in,
  "unsupported" becomes "unknown" and the note says it's untested with the
  bridge (quoting the old verdict). Entries that name the bridge keep their
  own verdict.
- engine.a32_recipe (was _a32) also runs in pipeline.set_recipe (game page,
  CLI `recipe --enable`, Game settings dialog) and before every build. When
  the bridge has just been turned on it also adds what it needs (Unity:
  device.text_input_window) and lifts a pre-bridge "unsupported"; later
  saves only remove, so a patch the user turns off stays off.
- Which patches work on the bridge is declared per patch instead of two
  lists in the engine: Patch.a32 / base.works_on_a32. OVRPort and Frame
  fixes are off unless they say a32 = True (the bridge, the adapter, the
  launcher entry); FrameBridge settings work unless they need the xrshim
  (settings.XRSHIM_SETTINGS, the same list frame.adapter's needs_xrshim
  reads now, so a new xrshim setting is excluded by itself). Such patches
  are hidden for 32-bit games, also in the Game settings dialog.
- build.check_a32 refuses a 32-bit build without the bridge, or with OVRPort
  or a 64-bit fix on, with a plain message instead of failing inside a tool
  or producing an APK the Frame rejects (INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS).
  engine.warnings(recipe, analysis) says the same on the game page.
- The game page redraws the patch list when the bridge switch changed other
  patches; its save uses C.update (warn.update raised when not mounted).
- Parity: a bridge build whose known-good APK is from before the bridge gets
  "new build (no baseline)" (no alt check either) and is listed apart from
  the games at parity, instead of UNEXPLAINED.

Tests: catalog verdict old vs tested, bridge turned on by hand (incl. a
later switch-off staying off), the lifted status, works_on_a32 per category,
check_a32, warnings, parity baseline + report, and the game page's switch
driven headless (no browser). Not yet built for or run on the Frame with
Journey of the Gods / Shadow Point.

UnicronNLandClaude Opus 5.5 2acfd64f7f Sports Scramble runs: Quest builds on the a32 bridge, Unreal's self-restart
Sports Scramble (a 32-bit Santa Cruz build: UE 4.21, OVRPlugin on VrApi 1.21)
now plays in the headset with both controllers.

a32 bridge:
- AAsset_getBuffer: the host buffer lies above 4 GiB, so the guest gets a
  copy in its own memory, freed in AAsset_close (Unreal read its
  UE4CommandLine.txt this way and aborted on the NULL it got before)
- AKeyEvent_getFlags and the remaining AConfiguration getters
- Touch controllers for Quest builds: apps that require 6DoF head tracking
  (uses-feature android.hardware.vr.headtracking version 1) get
  assets/fp_a32_headset.txt = "quest" at conversion; the bridge then passes
  both Frame controllers through (input devices, caps, state, tracking,
  vibration; struct tails per VrApi minor) and sends no synthetic touchpad
  events. Gear VR / Go games keep the remote emulation. A32_TOUCH=1/0
  overrides.

Analysis: detect.requires_6dof, headset "quest" for such 32-bit apps
(ANALYSIS_VERSION 13).

Agent 82: Unreal restarts the app once after its first-run shader precompile
(the "optimizing" screen): it starts its own launcher activity and exits, and
Lepton ends the container with the first process. Skipping the restart or
turning it off (r.ProgramBinaryCache.RestartAndroidAfterPrecompile=0) left
the game on that screen for good. launch.sh now starts Lepton once more when
the system log shows the app's own LAUNCHER start right before its
System.exit(0) (_restart_requested; first run kept as
launch-before-restart.log; FRAMEPORT_NO_RESTART=1 turns it off).
upgrade_launchers adds it to existing launchers. Crashes, quitting from the
game and Steam's Exit game don't match.

Catalog: Sports Scramble works (owner, headset, 2026-10-13).

Profiled Gunjack and Spunky Dungeon on the Frame with perf and a new

none in Gunjack). The cost was elsewhere:

- The run loop took the translation mutex on every dispatch and walked a hash
  chain under it (Gunjack: jit_run 23.6 % of all samples, pthread_mutex_*
  about 7 %, plus futex time in the kernel).
- The inline lookup table for indirect branches was only written at
  translation, so a hot return target lost its slot for good to any block
  translated later into the same slot and went through the run loop ever after.
- Every dispatch did an atomic add/sub on a counter all threads share (4.7 %).
- jit_invalidate scanned every block on each cacheflush that touched a code
  page: Unity's Mono JIT does that constantly (72 % of Spunky Dungeon's main
  thread in one run).

Now:
- the run loop looks blocks up without the lock (inline table first, then
  the hash chains, published with release stores); the lock is only taken to
  translate or to chain the exit it came from
- it refills the inline table with every block it dispatches; the refill and
  invalidate_block are fenced against each other, so an invalidated block
  never stays reachable
- HASH_BITS / LTAB_BITS 16 -> 18 (Gunjack translates well over 100k blocks)
- a per-thread in_jit_section flag + fence instead of the shared counter;
  flush_cache sets flush_pending and waits for the flags (threads_any_in_jit)
- per-guest-page block lists: an invalidation visits only the blocks on the
  affected pages and drops invalid ones from the lists on the way

Results on the Frame (same build otherwise, same launch conditions):
- Gunjack, 25-45 s after start with OVP_HEADLESS_TEST: 100,462 -> about
  45,000 samples in 20 s (about 55 % less CPU), jit_run 23.6 % -> 1.6 %,
  pthread_mutex_lock about 7 % -> 0.4 %
- Gunjack, 12-27 s: 72 fps in both, 11,306 -> 9,801 samples, jit_run
  10.4 % -> 1.0 %
- Spunky Dungeon, 12-27 s: 72 fps in both; translated code is only 2-3 %
  there, so no change. The jit_invalidate phase wasn't reproducible headless
  under identical conditions: not yet measured in a played session.
- bench.c (single thread, few dispatches): unchanged.

Tests: run_programs.py (jit + interp, and A32_CACHE_KB=300), bridge harness,
fuzz.py arm-dp / t32 / arm-vfp / arm-neon (0 mismatches), pytest. Both games
pass their launch tests at 72 fps with the final build.

UnicronNLandClaude Opus 5.5 694621c71f Catalog: Gunjack (Gear VR, 32-bit bridge) works in the headset
Gunjack (CCP, Unreal Engine 4.10 NativeActivity, VrApi, GLES) runs on the
Frame through frame.a32_bridge, confirmed in the headset by the owner
(2026-10-12). The recipe needs only frame.a32_bridge: the engine adds the
adapter and the LAUNCHER fix and turns OVRPort off, the same patch set as
the build now on the dev Frame.

Notes give the controls (right controller): trigger = fire, A = tap, stick
down = reload (swipe back), stick up = special weapon (swipe forward),
B = back. GAMES.md and the patch docs regenerated.

UnicronNLandClaude Opus 5.5 9df1d35003 a32 bridge: right stick up/down = swipe forward/back for NativeActivity games
Gunjack (UE 4.10, Gear VR) has no separate reload or special-weapon input on
the touchpad: every swipe goes to UE4's Gesture_Flick, and
ATDPlayerController::OnFlick reads the flick angle. Below 45 or above 315
degrees (+X, a swipe towards the back of the Gear VR touchpad) it reloads;
135 to 225 degrees (-X, a swipe forward) fires the special weapon. Up and down
swipes do nothing. The bridge sent the stick's up/down as Y swipes, so in
Gunjack those directions did nothing.

For games that read their AInputQueue (NativeActivity), the right stick's
up/down now swipe along the touchpad's own X axis: up = swipe forward
(special weapon), down = swipe back (reload). Left/right are unchanged.
Unity games (AFFECTED, Spunky Dungeon) keep their mapping.

Rebuilt liba32bridge.so. Gunjack was rebuilt and installed on the dev Frame;
the headless launch test passes. Not yet tried in the headset.

UnicronNL a86a86df3d a32 bridge: controller input for NativeActivity games (Gunjack)
Gunjack (UE 4.10, Gear VR) imports no vrapi input functions: it reads the
Gear VR touchpad and back button as Android input events from its
AInputQueue (native_app_glue). The bridge delivered its controller events
through Activity.dispatchKeyEvent, which never reaches native code, so no
control worked at all.

input.c now queues synthetic events in front of the game's AInputQueue:
- AInputQueue_attachLooper (without a callback) registers the queue;
  ALooper_pollAll/pollOnce return its ident while a synthetic event waits
  (ALooper_wake ends a blocking poll), AInputQueue_getEvent hands it out,
  finishEvent frees it.
- The AInputQueue/AInputEvent/AKeyEvent/AMotionEvent imports are written
  by hand ("!" in imports.txt) and answer for synthetic events; real
  events go to libandroid as before.
- Touch positions are scaled to the activity's window size
  (native_activity.c records it).

Mapping (right controller, as for AFFECTED: The Manor): trigger = hold
the touchpad, A = tap, right stick = swipe, B / left menu = back. Unity
and other Java-delivered games are unchanged. A new input_start (VR
re-entry) ends the previous poll thread.

Also: the libandroid functions the host side calls directly are weak
references again, so the PC test harness links (it broke with the
AAsset calls of the signature loader); bridge/test/run.py passes.

Headless on the Frame: "controllers: the game reads its AInputQueue",
72 fps. Not yet verified in the headset.

UnicronNLandClaude Opus 5.5 626950e52e Gunjack runs: original APK signature for UE4's check, GLES session kept across VR re-entry
Gunjack (CCP, UE 4.10, Gear VR) quit after loading because AndroidMain compares
GameActivity.AndroidThunkJava_GetSignature() with the original signing
certificate, and then crashed in the Frame's runtime when it entered VR again.

a32 bridge:
- frame.a32_bridge: original_signature() = Base64.DEFAULT(SHA-1(signing
  certificate DER)) of the original APK (META-INF/*.RSA|DSA|EC), stored as
  assets/fp_a32_signature.txt for libUE4.so games (convert(), shared with
  bridge/convert.py)
- the bridge loads it at activity creation and answers guest calls on the
  method ID of AndroidThunkJava_GetSignature()Ljava/lang/String; with it
  (replaces the unused hex/OpenSSL prototype)

VrApi bridge: after loading, Unreal leaves VR mode and enters it again on the
same GL context; the first frame of a second OpenXR session there aborted in
vrclient (CSharedSemaphoreLinux::WaitFromGPU from the GL binding's
PreBeginFrame). vrapi_LeaveVrMode now keeps a running GLES session and
vrapi_EnterVrMode reuses it for the same context (another context still gets
a new session; Vulkan unchanged). upstream-patches/runtime.cpp.patch updated,
libvrapi.so and liba32bridge.so rebuilt.

Verified on the Frame: headless launch test passes (72 fps after re-entry);
owner-verified in the headset.

UnicronNLandClaude Opus 5.5 4be8e3be37 a32 bridge in FramePort: patch frame.a32_bridge, Spunky Dungeon, Gunjack findings
32-bit-only APKs (Gear VR / Oculus Go games) are no longer "unsupported": the
recipe engine suggests frame.a32_bridge, which converts the APK with the
translator bridge (convert() shared with bridge/convert.py) and ships
liba32bridge.so / liba32rt.so / liba32stub.so (native/build.py --only a32).

FramePort:
- engine._a32: overport off (OVRPort is 64-bit only; the patch ships OVRPort's
  loader chain + its 32-bit platform dispatcher, overport.ensure_runtime_lib),
  only frame.a32_bridge/adapter/launcher of the frame patches, 64-bit-only
  adapter settings dropped, device.text_input_window for Unity; such patches
  are hidden in the UI
- analysis extra.headset (ANALYSIS_VERSION 9): quest / go / gearvr ->
  "Gear VR" / "Oculus Go" platform + Steam tag; catalog `headset:` field
- expects_obb ignores Unreal's OBB-inside-the-APK (assets/main.obb.png)
- catalog: com.fallen.affected, net.mobilemischief.spunkydungeon

Bridge / translator:
- VrApi 1.31 + Unity 2019 (no-config EGL contexts, LOCAL_FLOOR/STAGE tracking
  space), GL buffer mappings per buffer object (fixes a ~10 MB/s guest leak and
  garbled vertices), Go controller mapped to the right Frame controller
- native_app_glue imports (ALooper/AInputQueue/AConfiguration/AAsset*) for
  UE4 NativeActivity games (Gunjack: runs, then quits on its own APK signature
  check, which FramePort doesn't defeat)
- debugging aids: A32_BREAK, A32_STRACE to logcat, lifecycle/LeaveVrMode logs

vrapi-bridge: honours LOCAL_FLOOR/STAGE, picks a window/RGBA8 ES3 config for
no-config contexts; upstream patch updated, libvrapi.so rebuilt.

Verified on the Frame: Spunky Dungeon (Unity 2019.2, OVRPlugin 1.46) plays at
72 fps; AFFECTED The Manor still runs.

UnicronNLandClaude Opus 5.5 98b16b211a a32translator: Android bridge for 32-bit games (first game: AFFECTED The Manor)
32-bit ARM (armeabi-v7a) libraries run inside a normal 64-bit Android app on the
Steam Frame, without Android's native-bridge mechanism (no Lepton changes): each
libX.so becomes libX.a32.so plus a 64-bit stub, next to liba32bridge.so (the
translator + host glue) and liba32rt.so (a 32-bit static-PIE runtime with bionic's
libc/libm/libz/libstdc++ and a loader for the game's libraries). Guest and host
talk through hypercalls (SVC 0, r7 = 0x0a32xxxx).

Bridge (native/a32translator/bridge):
- JNI both ways: generated + hand-written JNIEnv/JavaVM, RegisterNatives and
  Java_* exports through AAPCS64 -> AAPCS32 trampolines, handles for references,
  arrays/strings shared when below 4 GiB, else copied
- NativeActivity glue, libandroid imports (weak, generated from imports.txt)
- GLES 3.2 + extensions + EGL: 996 functions generated from the NDK headers
- OpenSL ES output implemented in the guest, played through AAudio
- VrApi 1.x (Gear VR era) translated to the 64-bit VrApi -> OpenXR bridge,
  including OVRPlugin 1.12's frame layout and its wrapped (app texture) chains
- controller input as Gear VR touchpad/back/gamepad events (UnityPlayer.injectEvent)
- convert.py: prototype of the APK conversion (FramePort patch to follow)
- PC harness with a fake JVM (32 checks, qemu or native) and an on-device test APK

Translator fixes found on the way: guest signals during blocking system calls
and in host code (Boehm GC deadlock in Unity's Mono), static-PIE start files and
PT_TLS/PT_GNU_RELRO bias, host fault chaining, stderr to logcat in bridge mode.

vrapi-bridge: OVP_HEADLESS_TEST=1 skips the wait for a tracked head (automated
tests without a worn headset); upstream-patches/runtime.cpp.patch updated.

Verified on the Frame (2026-10-10): AFFECTED The Manor (Unity 5.6 + Mono,
OVRPlugin 1.12) runs in the headset with picture and sound; controls in progress.

signature check) don't take effect: Wine's kernelbase is ARM64EC. The LibOVR shim in the game then does a plain
`LoadLibrary("LibOVRRT64_1.dll")` search (exe dir, cwd, system32, windows, PATH — no registry, `OculusBase` or
`LIBOVR_DLL_DIR` used by this build) → `Failed to initialize Oculus API (-3001)` (= Lies Beneath's "Unable to load
LibOVRRT DLL"). A symlink `pfx/drive_c/windows/system32/LibOVRRT64_1.dll -> <base>/revive/LibReviveXR64.dll` (Wine
maps a symlink to the already-loaded module) gets past it to **-3021 = ovrError_LibSignCheck**: the shim only accepts
an Oculus-signed runtime. Next step (not done): make the runtime check pass without Detours, e.g. an injected helper
that patches the game's import table (IAT) for LoadLibrary*/WinVerifyTrust, or a prefix-level override. This is
runtime interop (what Revive does), not the Platform SDK licence check (which FramePort never touches).
Uninstall (Quest, saves kept) used to leave `deployment.json` → still "installed"; fixed (agent v16).

**Steam Frame controller models (2026-09-30, not yet seen in a game):** adapter setting `controller_models`
(`native/adapter/render_model.c`) emulates XR_FB_render_model and serves `files/framebridge/controller_{left,right}.glb`;
agent v20 (`install_controller_models`, command `controller_models`) converts the Frame's SteamVR render models
(folder name matching "frame" + left/right, OBJ+PNG, `openxr_grip` component → grip space) at finalize/set_settings.
Valve's models are never committed or copied off the Frame. Only games that use Meta's runtime controller models
benefit (manifest `RENDER_MODEL` permission/feature → suggested); **none of the 34 catalog games do** (they ship their
own meshes: that would need per-game asset replacement). Model discovery and conversion
checked on the device 2026-09-30: `/opt/steamvr/drivers/frame_controller/resources/rendermodels/frame_controller_{left,right}`
(component OBJs in model space = the whole `<name>.obj`, one `_color.png` 2048² near-black, `openxr_grip` rotates about
X only; hidden-by-default components like `status` are skipped) → ~2 MB glb each, ~1 s. Not yet seen in a game (none
of the installed builds has the new adapter, and none requests runtime models), so whether Meta's SDK attaches runtime models at the grip pose is unverified.
**Steam Frame controller models:** adapter setting `controller_models` (`native/adapter/render_model.c`, emulates XR_FB_render_model) + agent `install_controller_models` (Frame's SteamVR models → glb at finalize); no catalog game uses runtime models; Valve's models are never committed or copied off the Frame. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#steam-frame-controller-models
**overport's dispatcher (`libopenxr_loader.so`) only forwards functions in its own table** (`overportOXR: Unknown
proc addr: …`), so adapter emulations of functions it doesn't know are unreachable. For XR_FB_render_model,
`native/xrshim` fills the gap: OVRPlugin's `dlopen("libopenxr_loader.so")` string is rewritten to the shim (see
native/README). Verified on the device with Toy Master (2026-09-30): `extension shim: xrLoadRenderModelFB -> FrameBridge`.
Toy Master doesn't request a model after that (it uses its own), so the glb loading path is only unit-tested.
**Crash backtraces (2026-09-30):** Lepton writes tombstones only to `lepton-logcats/steamlaunch-<appid>/logcat-crash.log` (after "Dumping logcat"), not launch.log; agent v23 launch tests wait for it and return `crash_log`, triage gets it via `triage(..., crash=)` (not pid-filtered: tombstones come from crash_dump's pid). The guest is `userdebug` (`ro.debuggable=1`), so Lepton's Fossilize layer loads into every app whatever the APK's debuggable flag; it has no off switch. Fossilize crashed Deadpool VR on uninitialized attachment-reference pNexts (several, in FVulkanRenderPass and the render-target layout) → `frame.vk_sanitize` = `native/vkshim` (engine's `dlopen("libvulkan.so")` string → `libfp_vk.so`, wraps vkCreateRenderPass2/KHR, drops unreadable/wrong-sType pNexts; verified: game runs). overport's dispatcher aborts on swapchains > 4096 px (`cmp wN,#4096` in xrCreateSwapchain) → `frame.swapchain_limit` (verified with 4XVR, 7680×3840 accepted by the runtime). Both are default-on (parity classifies their rewrites as
"expected"; library migration `quest_binary_fixes_v2`). The adapter shows cylinder layers (4XVR's movie screen) as ~15° quad strips (`cylinder_strips`, setting
`cylinder_strips`); the runtime composites them at full resolution. Equirect (360°) layers are dropped: drawing
them ourselves (GLES renderer in xrEndFrame: stutter, never showed 4XVR's VR video; Vulkan renderer: hung the
Frame's GPU in AC Nexus; reading the newest *released* image broke 4XVR's theatre) was removed again on the owner's
request — don't retry without a new approach. Converted layers must count as "swapped" or the original layer list
is submitted (runtime returns -2 for every frame). A focus debounce (hiding the Frame's brief
FOCUSED→VISIBLE→SYNCHRONIZED dips, which make 4XVR recenter) was also removed: AC Nexus stayed black with it (it
hid 521 ms focus changes at start). The new approach (below) is per-game, off the app's render thread, GLES-only.
**360° layers / 4XVR (2026-09-30):** the Frame's Android SteamVR runtime (`/opt/steamvr/bin/androidarm64/vrclient.so`,
mounted in Lepton as `/data/steamvr/runtime`) only composites quad + projection layers (cube/cylinder/equirect(2)
are enum names only) — nothing to unlock. Per-game adapter settings (off by default, hooks installed only when on):
`equirect_emul` (GLES only: a worker thread with a shared EGL context converts each 360° image to a cube map when it
changes and draws one adapter projection layer from it for every frame with exactly that frame's views (the app's own
projection views, else xrLocateViews at displayTime); xrEndFrame waits ≤6 ms for the worker's CPU submit, never the
GPU. Learned in the headset: quads can't be a background (the Frame draws quad layers above all projection layers
whatever the order: hid 4XVR's balcony/controllers), and the Frame doesn't reproject a projection layer from its own
pose (images drawn only after head turns, or ahead from xrWaitFrame and sometimes late, wobbled);
`equirect_flip/face/res/fps/stereo`), `stable_local`, `focus_hold` (only after 3 s FOCUSED, dips <600 ms),
`aim_pitch/aim_yaw/aim_forward`, `refresh_rate`, `layer_debug` (diagnostics); focus_hold is default-on since 2026-10-05. 4XVR re-creates LOCAL spaces every 2–4 s
(menu recentring suspect); its theatres are baked 7680×3840 equirect2 images (`assets/100.png` …). Test 360° videos
(NASA, public domain) are in the Frame's ~/Videos; copies in `~/Downloads/frameport-360`. 4XVR's "Internal Storage"
lists its own `/sdcard/4XPlayer`, not Movies: agent v25 `link_media` hard-links sent files into an app's own top-level
folder (`app_media_dirs`), `frameport frame send --app <pkg>`, GUI game page "Add videos" (players) / "Add videos &
files…". A 4XVR webm stereo swapchain was refused with XR_ERROR_LIMIT_REACHED (-10) → right eye grey; our projection
swapchain was halved (1536/eye) in case memory is the limit (unverified). Frame data snapshot

**Companion apps / intents (2026-10-03, tested with Stremio + 4XVR):** a second APK can be installed into a running
Lepton container (`podman exec -i lepton-steamlaunch-<appid> pm install -g -S <size> < apk`) and runs there, VR
included (4XVR in Stremio's flatscreen container: FrameBridge 72 fps, settings via LEPTON_ENV_FRAMEBRIDGE_CONFIG). But
Lepton's services.jar (`ActivityStarter.execute`) intercepts **every** `android.intent.action.VIEW` with data (any
scheme, explicit component or not, no property to disable): it writes `steam://openurl/<uri>` to `/lepton/steam.pipe`
(= the host Steam client's `~/.steam/steam.pipe`) and starts nothing. So "open in external player" hand-offs (Stremio
→ 4XVR) can't work inside Lepton; don't retry without Valve changing it. Lepton installs exactly one `*.apk` per app
folder (two break `get_apk_path`).
**Text input (2026-10-03, verified in the headset with Stremio VR):** Lepton's Android has no IME (`ime list` empty)
and runs VR apps headless (`lepton.headless=true`): no Android window has input focus (`dumpsys input` FocusedWindows
empty), so neither `input text`, a USB keyboard nor Steam's keyboard reach the app. `lepton-show-flatscreen` on a VR
app keeps VR working (FrameBridge 72 fps) and gives the window focus; Steam's on-screen keyboard then opens for text
fields. Unity's TMP_InputField on non-Quest Android waits for the system keyboard (`TouchScreenKeyboardShouldBeUsed`)
and deselects a frame later unless `isKeyboardUsingEvents` (Android: `InPlaceEditing() && m_HideSoftKeyboard`);
uGUI InputField's LateUpdate keeps the field when `InPlaceEditing()`. Patch `frame.unity_text_input` rewrites them
(`mov w0,#0|#1; ret`) at Cpp2IL's **Offset** (= file offset; RVA differs by 0x4000 in Stremio's lib), Cpp2IL
2022.1 pre-release (Unity 6 / metadata v31; Il2CppDumper can't), cached per libil2cpp sha. `/dev/uinput` has an ACL
for steamos (Steam Input) → agent v33 `_keyboard` uinput keyboard ("Type on Frame") reaches everything with focus.
Installing a second APK into a container with `pm install` re-runs Lepton's post-install hook on the **main** app
(`lepton.active_app_id`; moves its files to /data/steam_app) and corrupts it on the next start (fix: touch the APK →
re-bake); `cmd_real package install` skips the hook.
**User reports (2026-10-04, issues #4-#10):** Steam shortcuts go to the signed-in account (`loginusers.vdf`
MostRecent) else every account (agent v35 `library_users`; it used to refuse with >1 account → Play gave Steam's "Game
configuration unavailable"); `launch` uses the shortcut's own appid and errors `NOT_IN_LIBRARY`, the app then adds it
and plays. Unity IL2CPP fixes share one Cpp2IL run (`unity_text_input.Il2cppReturnPatch`, `ALL_TARGETS`, cache keyed by
global-metadata.dat): `frame.unity_runtime_msaa_off` (OVRManager raises MSAA to 4x at runtime: "Switching to the
recommended level" → Lucky's Tale restarted the headset; `OVRDisplay.get_recommendedMSAALevel` → 0) and
`frame.unity_multipass` (Oculus XR Plugin multiview → MultiPass via `OculusSettings.GetStereoRenderingMode`; I Am Cat's
right eye grey). Both checked against Toy Master's Cpp2IL output, not yet in a headset. VR4 quits itself (System.exit
after the intro movie) → catalog `use_alt`. **Catalog changes reach existing games** without hardcoded migrations:
recipes store `catalog_rev` (= `CatalogEntry.rev()`), `library._follow_catalog` re-derives non-user recipes whose entry
changed; a maintained entry beats the user's shared copy when its `updated`/verified date is later (`catalog._newer`).
**Round 2 of reports (2026-10-04):** VR4's campaign hang = one fragment shader reading an uninitialized loop counter
(reporter's capture): vkshim `vk_shader_fix` setting (`<size>:<sha256>:<offset>:<words>`, from the recipe's `adapter:`;
matched by size + SHA-256, words inserted into a copy) — on the device the module is fixed at load ("fixed shader
module (6488 -> 6512 bytes)"); campaign itself not yet seen in a headset by us. Text settings (kind "str") stay out of
the Game settings dialog (saving it dropped them). I Am Cat: `GetStereoRenderingMode` is inlined (no call sites) →
`Il2cppReturnPatch.field_loads` rewrites the field read in `OculusLoader.Initialize` (Cpp2IL gives the field offset,
`field:<name>`); verified with Toy Master: eye swapchains array=1 ×2 instead of array=2. Builds record `recipe_fp`
(`patches/base.recipe_fingerprint`, `Patch.revision`): a changed recipe or revised patch shows "Update on Frame".
Remembered Frames are found again after an address change (`Frame.relocate`: scan, same SSH host key, before
login). Packaged apps show artwork by file path (`thumbs.use_file_paths`, #16). Diagnostics: this boot's kernel log.
Device tests of requested games (2026-10-04, headless): I Am Cat, Myst 3.3.0, BattleGlide, Blade & Sorcery: Nomad
start (RUNNING, frames). Roblox: SIGSEGV in je_free from libroblox.so ~3 s in (likely its anti-tamper vs the re-signed
APK). BONELAB (Unity 2021.3 Vulkan, OVRPlugin 1.94): SIGSEGV with pc == fault addr in vkCreateInstance, called from
libSLZQuestNative.so's Vulkan hooks into an unmapped (unloaded) library right after OVRPlugin's pre-init
xrDestroyInstance; pinning openxr/vrclient libraries (RTLD_NODELETE) did NOT help — find the unloaded library with the
linker's dlopen/dlclose logging next. Accounting+ (Unity 2017.4 built-in Oculus, libOVRPlugin + libvrapi): Unity
never starts VR on the Frame (no OVRPlugin/OpenXR lines; runs as a 2D app), which is why its "controller setup"
screen can't be passed — Unity 2017's Oculus device check, not the controller profiles. Cpp2IL can't read Unity 2017.
The Frame's Android runtime (vrclient.so) knows oculus/touch_controller but not Meta's Touch Plus/Pro profiles
(OVRPlugin suggests those too, routinely) → adapter `profile_remap`.
Headset round 2 (2026-10-04): the Frame drops focus often (ms to 7 s; only some are presence/standby) → games pause
or recentre (B&S Player.OnVRPresence → Teleport, BattleGlide/Unreal pauses); focus_hold now 1 s focused / 1 s max dip
(longer must still pause). Myst crash = vrclient xrSyncActions race after FOCUSED → `sync_guard` (confirmed); its
object glitches: app space warp suspected (FB_space_warp is advertised and used) → recipe `patch_disable_space_warp`.
I Am Cat multipass: poses/times consistent, but every frame is submitted after the next xrWaitFrame (one period late;
Zink + doubled draws) and the game clamps its physics step to 10 ms → judder while still; testing scale 0.8. Roblox's
newest crash is on Fossilize's recording thread → vk_sanitize extended to own-engine libs (engine "Other").
Accounting+: unity_oculus_check + native/ovrpshim (libfp_ovrp.so waits via ovrp_WaitToBeginFrame before Unity
2017's ovrp_Update2) → VR in the headset at ~72 fps (2026-10-04), but stuck at "press any button" although input
reaches its OVRInput cleanly (probe: both Touch connected 0x63, individual buttons, input focus 1) → works with issues.
"outside of frame bounds" warnings stay (~2/frame) and are harmless.
Steam library (GitHub #4/#21/#27, agent v38): shortcuts go to every Steam account (signed-in first; MostRecent isn't
always the account on the Frame); stop_steam also waits for Steam's helpers; after the restart the agent re-reads
shortcuts.vdf and writes once more if Steam put its old copy back (`shortcuts_lost`); lost again (agent v89): Steam
ignores FramePort's entries on that Frame, so `add_devkit_entry` adds the devkit entry instead (`added` gets `via:
devkit`) and only reports an error if that fails too. 0.6.3's Play
auto-repair (`_add_then_play`) crashed (its job got a Job, not a reporter). Uploads resume on a transient OSError.
Lepton's Android 11 has no clipboard service (134 services; checked with `podman exec … service check clipboard`):
SDL/LÖVE apps crashed at start → `frame.sdl_clipboard` (`apk/dex.py`: in-place dex edit, nops one invoke, fixes
the header checksum/signature; verified with LÖVE for Android 11.5, GitHub #24 Dramatic Shape). Godot 4.2-4.4 (Kotlin `as ClipboardManager`,
GitHub #134 EndoparasiticVR) → `frame.godot_clipboard` (nops the `Intrinsics.checkNotNull` before that check-cast; Godot's
clipboard methods return at once; analysis `godot_clipboard`, ANALYSIS_VERSION 10; checked on real godot-lib/templates
4.2.2-4.4.1, not on the device; 4.1 and 4.5+ don't throw). 2D apps (vr_kind none)
keep every suggested patch that isn't about VR (`needs_vr = False`), not a fixed list. FramePort on the Frame:
`frame/local.py` (127.0.0.1, own key authorized; "This Frame (experimental)"; app data in
~/.local/share/frameport-app because ~/.local/share/frameport is the agent's) and Steam library changes wait while
Desktop Mode is open. Verified on the device 2026-10-04 (install + launch test from the Frame). Library updates on the
Frame run one at a time (agent v40 flock): two quick uninstalls used to bring a removed shortcut back (Roblox).
Headset round 3 (owner's verdicts, 2026-10-04): Blade & Sorcery works — its freezes were the headset's wear sensor
flickering off while worn (vrserver.txt "HMD off/on" 0.5-2 s) → per-game `focus_hold_ms=2500` (only this game reacts;
not a default). BattleGlide works (focus_hold). Myst works with issues (object glitches; space warp ruled out, its
recipe keeps it on). I Am Cat works with issues (judder; scale 0.8 no help). Roblox unsupported (je_free in
libroblox, also with the Vulkan shim). Installs skip the Steam restart when the shortcut is unchanged and wait while a
game runs (agent v37). New default fixes in FramePort's code reach games already in a library: after every app update
`library._follow_catalog` re-derives each non-user recipe once (setting `recipes.app_version`; tests switch it off via
`library.REFRESH_ON_UPDATE`). Analysis fields added later: **bump `analysis/detect.ANALYSIS_VERSION`** (stored as `analysis.extra.analysis_version`); older entries whose APK is still there are analysed again at the GUI's start (background thread, not a job: ~8 s per 900 MB APK) and before a build (`pipeline.refresh_analyses`, GitHub #104); only `analysis`/`suggested` change, user recipes stay; an unreadable APK gets `analysis_failed` = the version (not retried until the next bump). Troubleshooting techniques: docs/PLAYBOOK.md "Debugging techniques". Unity `boot.config` "vulkan" substring mislabels GLES games as Vulkan
(I Am Cat ran GLES); OVRPlugin's "Unavailable OpenXR extension: XR_FB_scene" is routine (no longer triaged).
**Round 4 (2026-10-04):** XR_KHR_android_surface_swapchain is listed by the Frame's runtime but returns
FUNCTION_UNSUPPORTED → adapter `surface_emul` (default on, `native/adapter/surface_swapchain.c`): an ordinary runtime
swapchain is returned, the game gets a Surface from a SurfaceTexture on a worker thread (own EGL context, JavaVM from
XrInstanceCreateInfoAndroidKHR), frames are read back (glReadPixels) and uploaded in xrEndFrame (Vulkan: own command
buffer + fence per panel, never waits; GLES: glTexSubImage2D). I Am Monkey's intro works (owner-confirmed). SUPERHOT
(Quest) quit at start: its cloud save folder was mode 1700 and Lepton's app writes through the folder's group →
launch.sh `fix_perms` adds u+rwx,g+rwx (agent v41). Lucky's Tale: Unity's Loading.PreloadManager thread grows the
native heap ~1 GB/s until the OOM killer (Frame freezes); no fix. `perf` works as steamos (paranoid 2; ptrace_scope 1
blocks gdb/eu-stack/debuggerd) — see PLAYBOOK "Debugging techniques". QuestCraft downloads its JRE at first run into
`files/runtimes/JRE` (Pojlib Installer); on the Frame it was missing (unpacked by hand, unverified). WiiCompiled: its launcher shows
(lepton-show-flatscreen) but imports .wcgame files through Android's document picker (OPEN_DOCUMENT), which Lepton
lacks (ActivityNotFoundException) → imported by hand: libmain.so + game.json → internal files/game/<profile>,
DATA/ → external files/WiiCompiledOpenXRVR/DATA, MOD/ → .../RetroRewind6 (decompiled with jadx). Lepton has no
picker at all: a FramePort fix would be an injected picker activity. Generated cover/banner art used to suppress the
Steam placeholder set (no Steam art at all) → fixed in artwork/steam.py.
**Steam library failures (GitHub #21/#30):** on some Frames Steam never loads FramePort's shortcuts.vdf entries (same SteamOS build and arm64 beta client as the dev Frame; IDs correct; file written before Steam starts): Play → console_log `GameAction [AppID <id>] … RequestingLicense → UpdatingAppInfo → LaunchApp failed with AppError_9` (= "Game configuration unavailable", Steam treats the id as a store app). Cause unknown; agent v42/43 diagnostics: `launch` returns `steam` (started / error + code / silent from console_log), `collect_diag` adds `steam_library` (real Steam dir, beta, Steam start vs vdf write time, entries per account, devkit games) + `steam-console.txt` (incl. Steam's `logs/shortcuts.previous.txt` if present; steamclient.so has "LoadShortcuts: rejecting attempt to load shortcuts: invalid account ID"). **Fallback (agent v43):** when Play gets AppError_9 the agent registers the game through Steam's devkit interface (what Valve's Devkit Management Tool does, MIT: `devkit-1 steam://devkit-1/<~/.steam/steam.token>/create-shortcut?response=<file>&gameid=<id>&directory=~/devkit-game` written to ~/.steam/steam.pipe; answer file / `.error`; `~/devkit-game/<id>/launch.sh` = link to the game's launch.sh, `<id>-argv.json` ["launch.sh"] (relative to the folder), `<id>-settings.json` {steam_play 0, compat_tool ""}). Steam adds it live (no restart), picks its own appid (read back from shortcuts.vdf by DevkitGameID), shows it as a normal non-Steam game named "Devkit Game: <id>" (OpenVR 0, but VR works: owner-verified 2026-10-04), art copied to grid/<appid>*. Ids: letter first, then letters/digits/_ only (spaces, '-', leading digit → "missing/invalid arguments"). Later Plays use the devkit entry; uninstall (`devkit_unregister`, `delete-shortcut` live) and purge remove it. Verified on the dev Frame: register/launch/unregister; the AppError_9 trigger itself only in unit tests. GitHub #42 (two Steam accounts, neither MostRecent): Steam rewrote the active account's shortcuts.vdf without FramePort's entries right after starting, and added the devkit entry live without saving it, so `devkit_appid` (vdf only) failed ("Steam added the devkit entry but didn't save it"); agent v55 `devkit_appid_from_log` reads Steam's `sanitize shortcut app id "~/devkit-game/<id>/launch.sh": replacing 0 with N` console line. GitHub #41 (one account): same Steam behaviour, and every install restarts Steam, which forgets the never-saved devkit entry. Agent v56: the log fallback reads only the current session's console_log.txt; Play re-registers a devkit entry that gets AppError_9; art updates also write the devkit entry's grid art (`copy_grid_art`). Open: why some Frames' Steam never loads or saves shortcuts.vdf (single account too).
**Exit game (GitHub #36, 2026-10-04):** `Apps.TerminateApp` (what Exit game calls; reachable for tests through Steam's CEF devtools on 127.0.0.1:8080, SharedJSContext, `Runtime.evaluate` — a stdlib websocket client is enough) closed both a normal shortcut and a devkit entry on the dev Frame within 1-3 s. SIGTERM to Steam's `reaper` alone left launch.sh + Lepton (setsid) + the container running (an earlier headset launch ran on for 87 min); SIGTERM to launch.sh cleans up in ~4 s. Agent v44: launch.sh's 2 s loop ends the game when its parent (the reaper) is gone; `upgrade_launchers` (from ensure_host_fixes) adds that to existing launchers in place. Which in-headset exit path fails is still unknown. Screenshots on the Frame: all under SteamVR's appid 250820 (`760/remote/250820/screenshots`, screenshots.vdf has creation time, no game).
**SteamVR dashboard at game start (2026-10-04):** the dashboard (Resume game / controller / VR options) was open whenever a FramePort game started (also over Lepton's 2D launcher). Steam's UI exposes `SteamClient.OpenVR.VROverlay.{IsDashboardVisible,HideDashboard,ShowDashboard}` (CEF devtools, `steam_js` in the agent). Agent v44: launch.sh starts `_dashboard_worker` (waits for FrameBridge's first `pacing:` line in launch.log, then hides a visible dashboard for 25 s, at most 3 times; log `<base>/dashboard.log`; opt out with env FRAMEPORT_KEEP_DASHBOARD=1). Verified on the dev Frame (dashboard shown → 4XVR launched via Steam → hidden ~5 s after the first frames); not yet seen in the headset. **Headset (ITR2, 2026-10-05): too late** — Steam shows its frame menu (`valve.steam.gamepadui.frame.menu`, vrwebhelper_systemui.txt `[PooledPopups] Showing`) ~0.3 s after the game's first submitted frame (FrameBridge `new layer:`), but the first `pacing:` summary comes ~8 s later; the owner had pressed Resume (`[HideDashboard] return_to_game`) before the worker looked. Agent v52: watches from the first `new layer:` line (incremental log reads, 0.5 s polls, 30 s window). Agent v59: watches 120 s and hides up to 10 times (the menu came back after 30 s in the owner's sessions). Agent v53: stops for good once the player opens the dashboard with the controller (`toggle_dashboard_action` in vrwebhelper_systemui.txt since the worker started): v52 closed it 60 ms after each press, and the game, paused for it, stayed paused.
**Space warp / ITR2 (2026-10-04):** Into The Radius 2 (UE5, `libUnreal.so` + OVRPlugin, Vulkan) uses Application SpaceWarp (extra swapchains `376x376 format=97` motion vectors + `format=129` depth); #35 reports flickering textures. OVRPort's `patch_disable_space_warp` has no effect on UE5, and hiding XR_FB_space_warp in FrameBridge's enumerate doesn't reach the game either: **OVRPort's dispatcher offers/enables XR_FB_space_warp itself**. FrameBridge `hide_space_warp` (per game, off) hides it and strips `XrCompositionLayerSpaceWarpInfoFB` (1000171000) from the projection views (log `hide_space_warp: removed space warp info`); the game still renders its MV swapchains. Test build installed on the dev Frame; flicker not yet checked in a headset. Heuristic: UE5 + OVRPlugin shows it as an option (off). `equirect_emul` is suggested for Unreal games whose graphics API isn't detected ("GLES or unknown"); on Vulkan it switches itself off (Myst/Riven/ITR2): harmless, but Unreal Vulkan detection is a known gap.
**PR #34 (merged 2026-10-04, Lucas-Mathieu):** `native/adapter/audio_metadata.h` patches Meta XR Audio Wwise (only build ID e1619e7f…, Batman: Arkham Shadow 1.4.1) so queued audio metadata isn't freed while the current audio frame references it (smoke-bomb crash). Verified headless: installs ("metadata reclamation follows …"), 72 fps; we added a once-per-second scan limit. Outside PRs: review source, rebuild `artifacts/` ourselves, merge locally (contributor's commit kept), push main.
**Heuristics eval (2026-10-04):** `scripts/eval_heuristics.py "<VR CyberDeck Portable>"` → 19/44 recipes exact, 322/352 fields (most diffs: `frame.unity_text_input` suggested where older catalog recipes lack it; the rest are runtime-only findings: use_alt, vk_shader_fix, focus_hold, sync_guard, multipass). `PATCHED/` copies aren't scored (already converted).
**Crash backtraces:** Lepton writes tombstones only to `lepton-logcats/steamlaunch-<appid>/logcat-crash.log` (launch tests return `crash_log`). Fossilize loads into every app (userdebug guest) → `frame.vk_sanitize` (`native/vkshim`); overport's dispatcher aborts on swapchains > 4096 px → `frame.swapchain_limit`; cylinder layers → quad strips (`cylinder_strips`). Drawing equirect layers ourselves and a focus debounce were tried and removed: don't retry without a new approach. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#crash-backtraces-fossilize-swapchain-limit-cylinder-and-equirect-layers
**360° layers / 4XVR:** the Frame's Android runtime composites only quad + projection layers (quads always above projection layers). Per-game adapter settings (off by default): `equirect_emul` (GLES), `equirect_flip/face/res/fps/stereo`, `stable_local`, `focus_hold` (default on), `aim_pitch/aim_yaw/aim_forward`, `refresh_rate`, `layer_debug`; agent `link_media` / `app_media_dirs` put sent files into a player's own folder. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#360-layers--4xvr
**Companion apps / intents:** a second APK can run inside a game's Lepton container, but Lepton turns every `android.intent.action.VIEW` with data into `steam://openurl` → "open in external player" hand-offs can't work; Lepton installs exactly one `*.apk` per app folder. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#companion-apps--intents-stremio--4xvr
**Text input:** Lepton's Android has no IME and VR apps run headless (no focused window); `lepton-show-flatscreen` keeps VR and gives focus + Steam's keyboard (`device.text_input_window`); `frame.unity_text_input` patches Unity's TMP_InputField/InputField at Cpp2IL offsets; agent `_keyboard` = uinput "Type on Frame". `pm install` of a second APK corrupts the main app (`cmd_real package install` skips the hook). → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#text-input-stremio-vr
**User reports #4-#10:** shortcuts go to the signed-in account (agent `library_users`), `launch` errors `NOT_IN_LIBRARY`; shared Cpp2IL run (`unity_text_input.Il2cppReturnPatch`) for `frame.unity_runtime_msaa_off` and `frame.unity_multipass`; VR4 → catalog `use_alt`. **Catalog changes reach existing games**: recipes store `catalog_rev`, `library._follow_catalog` re-derives non-user recipes. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#user-reports-2026-10-04-issues-4-10
**Round 2 of reports / headset rounds 2-3 (2026-10-04):** vkshim `vk_shader_fix` (VR4); `Il2cppReturnPatch.field_loads` (I Am Cat); builds record `recipe_fp` (changed recipe/revised patch → "Update on Frame"); `Frame.relocate`; adapter `profile_remap` (Touch Plus/Pro); `sync_guard` (Myst); `focus_hold` tuning; ovrpshim for Unity 2017 (Accounting+); Steam library to every account, `shortcuts_lost` / `add_devkit_entry`; no clipboard service → `frame.sdl_clipboard`, `frame.godot_clipboard`; 2D apps keep non-VR patches (`needs_vr = False`); `frame/local.py` (FramePort on the Frame); after every app update `library._follow_catalog` re-derives non-user recipes once (`recipes.app_version`, `library.REFRESH_ON_UPDATE`). Analysis fields added later: **bump `analysis/detect.ANALYSIS_VERSION`** (re-analysis at GUI start + `pipeline.refresh_analyses`; `analysis_failed`). Roblox and BONELAB crash (unsupported). → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#round-2-of-reports-headset-rounds-2-3-2026-10-04
**Round 4:** XR_KHR_android_surface_swapchain is listed but unsupported → adapter `surface_emul` (default on, `native/adapter/surface_swapchain.c`); save folders without u/g+rwx → launch.sh `fix_perms`; Lucky's Tale OOM (no fix); `perf` works as steamos (gdb blocked); QuestCraft JRE, WiiCompiled import by hand (Lepton has no document picker). → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#round-4-2026-10-04-surface-swapchains-save-folder-permissions
**Steam library failures (GitHub #21/#30/#41/#42):** on some Frames Steam never loads FramePort's shortcuts.vdf entries (Play → AppError_9) → fallback: register through Steam's devkit interface (`devkit-1 … create-shortcut`, `~/devkit-game/<id>/`; `devkit_appid`, `devkit_appid_from_log`, `devkit_unregister`, `copy_grid_art`; ids: letter first, letters/digits/_ only); `collect_diag` adds `steam_library`. Cause still unknown. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#steam-library-failures-and-the-devkit-fallback-github-21304142
**Exit game (GitHub #36):** `Apps.TerminateApp` (Steam CEF devtools on 127.0.0.1:8080) closes games; launch.sh ends the game when its parent reaper is gone (`upgrade_launchers` adds it). → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#exit-game-github-36
**SteamVR dashboard at game start:** launch.sh's `_dashboard_worker` hides the dashboard via `SteamClient.OpenVR.VROverlay` (agent `steam_js`) from the first FrameBridge `new layer:` line (120 s, ≤10 times, stops after `toggle_dashboard_action`); log `<base>/dashboard.log`, opt out `FRAMEPORT_KEEP_DASHBOARD=1`. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#steamvr-dashboard-at-game-start
**Space warp / ITR2:** OVRPort's dispatcher offers XR_FB_space_warp itself (`patch_disable_space_warp` doesn't reach UE5) → FrameBridge `hide_space_warp` (per game, off; suggested for UE5 + OVRPlugin). `equirect_emul` switches itself off on Vulkan. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#space-warp--itr2
**PR #34 (Lucas-Mathieu):** `native/adapter/audio_metadata.h` keeps Meta XR Audio Wwise metadata alive (Batman: Arkham Shadow 1.4.1 smoke-bomb crash). Outside PRs: review source, rebuild `artifacts/` ourselves, merge locally. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#pr-34-meta-xr-audio-metadata-batman
**Heuristics eval (2026-10-04):** 19/44 recipes exact (superseded by the 2026-10-15 numbers under Heuristics). → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#heuristics-eval-2026-10-04
**Power (0.9, agent v47):** sidebar bar below the Frame card: Sleep / Restart / Shut down, each confirmed (`app.frame_power`, a running game asks again). logind answers CanSuspend/CanReboot/CanPowerOff = "challenge" for an SSH session but "yes" inside a user unit, so agent `power` runs `systemctl suspend|reboot|poweroff` from a transient `systemd-run --user --on-active=3` timer (the command answers first). Restart verified on the device (back in ~84 s, new boot id).
**Proton default (agent v51, owner's choice 2026-10-05):** the newest **stable** ARM64 Proton is the default for PC VR games (`pick_proton`: asked-for name/alias, else newest installed stable, else any stable). Agent v49-50 defaulted to Experimental; the owner's headset A/B with Rick and Morty (Experimental 69 % reprojected frames, stable felt much smoother) reverted it. The game page's Customize shows `pcvr.proton_tool` as a dropdown (Stable (default) / Experimental = alias `proton-experimental`); `ensure_proton` installs a chosen one (it asks once more for the runtime Steam only names after Proton is installed; Experimental installed unattended on the device in 53 s). A PC VR launch test that fails on stable suggests Experimental (`pipeline.PROTON_TOOL`, `proton_alternative_worth_trying`, button "Try Proton Experimental and reinstall"). Remaining Rick and Morty stutter on head turns = the game rendering below the refresh rate (reprojection), not Proton.
**USB cable link (verified 2026-10-05, cabled to the dev PC):** `usb0` is a USB **NCM** gadget (configfs g1: `ncm.usb0` + `ffs.adb`, Valve 28de:2460) set up by `usb-ncm-gadget@usb0.service`, which only runs with `ConditionPathExists=|/etc/systemd/system/adbd.service.d/steamos-devkit-enabled` = **Developer Mode only**. `usb-ncm-dnsmasq@usb0` serves DHCP with fixed `dhcp-host` entries: Frame 10.86.200.233, PC **10.86.200.234** (`frame/usb.py` FRAME_USB_IP/PC_USB_IP). Windows 11 binds its built-in "UsbNcm Host Device" (no driver); WSL mirrored sees eth 10.86.200.234. USB is high-speed (USB 2.0): upload 36.9 MB/s vs 11.3 MB/s home Wi-Fi. Frame→PC over the cable worked without a firewall change. `scripts/usb_autotest.py` (Windows via powershell.exe from WSL), `frameport frame usb-check`. Wizard "Set up with a USB cable" (`PairingServer(host=PC_USB_IP)`; the real bootstrap ran end to end over USB). Discovery dedupes by SSH host key and prefers USB > Frame hotspot > network (`discovery.dedupe`); a lost address is re-found by key (`Frame.relocate`, tested with a dead saved address).
**Proton default:** the newest **stable** ARM64 Proton (`pick_proton`; owner's headset A/B); `pcvr.proton_tool` dropdown (Experimental = alias `proton-experimental`), `ensure_proton`, `proton_alternative_worth_trying`. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#proton-default-stable-vs-experimental
**USB cable link:** `usb0` is a USB NCM gadget (Developer Mode only); Frame 10.86.200.233, PC **10.86.200.234** (`frame/usb.py`); ~37 MB/s; `scripts/usb_autotest.py`, `frameport frame usb-check`; discovery prefers USB > hotspot > network (`discovery.dedupe`). → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#usb-cable-link
**Catalog updates without a release (2026-10-05):** apps fetch `catalog/games/*.yaml` from GitHub `main` (`recommend/catalog.refresh_remote`: one API call `git/trees/main?recursive=1` + raw.githubusercontent downloads of changed blobs, cached as `catalog-gh-<sha>.yaml`, every 6 h; GUI at start + Settings → Data "Check now"; CLI background thread + `frameport catalog-update`). `catalog.load()` only reads the cache. A remote entry is skipped (`unusable_reason`) when it names a patch/adapter key this app doesn't register, has a field `CatalogEntry` doesn't know, or `min_app` > this version: add `min_app` (or rely on new patch ids) when a config needs an unreleased FramePort. Remote beats bundled unless the bundled entry has a later updated/verified date; the user's own entries still win as before. Off: setting `catalog.auto_update`, env FRAMEPORT_NO_CATALOG_UPDATE; FRAMEPORT_CATALOG_URL still overrides the source. So: **pushing a catalog change to main reaches users within 6 h** (their recipes follow via catalog_rev → Update on Frame).
**Start activity / QuestCraft / ITR2 pop-in (2026-10-05):** WiiCompiled's VR part (`QuestActivity`, SDL, process `:game`) stays behind Lepton's flat window when the launcher is shown (`device.text_input_window`). `frame.start_activity` (opt-in; analysis `extra.vr_activity` = the original APK's activity with Meta's VR category when it isn't the launcher) gives that activity's filter LAUNCHER and every other LAUNCHER becomes INFO, per element (`axml.set_start_activity`); Lepton's own `apk-info-extractor --print-activity-name` (on the Frame under Lepton/liblepton/apk_extractor) then answers QuestActivity. **OVRPort gives every MAIN activity LAUNCHER + VR categories**, so the VR activity must come from the original APK's analysis, not the converted manifest. Lepton has no activity override (`APP_ACTIVITY` is reset when app_metadata.sh is sourced). QuestCraft reaches Minecraft 1.21.5 (Fabric, Vivecraft, Sodium; LTW "Large Thin Wrapper" GL 3.0 on the Frame's Zink) and stops at `OpenGL error 1282` in `WindowFramebuffer` createTexture (Minecraft's crash report in `files/instances/1.21.5/crash-reports/`, Pojlib's `files/latestlog.txt`); the vrclient SIGSEGV / "pthread_mutex_lock called on a destroyed mutex" afterwards is only the shutdown (Unity's render thread still in vrclient while the instance is destroyed). ITR2 "models popping in and out" in game: Unreal reads user config from **internal** storage (`lepton-data/internal/<pkg>/files/UnrealGame/<Project>/<Project>/Saved/Config/Android/Engine.ini`, not external); `r.AllowOcclusionQueries=0` there broke its menus (removed again). Vulkan shim `vk_query_slots` (two slots per occlusion query) never saw ITR2 create an occlusion query pool, and the run with it crashed (Unreal RenderThread SIGSEGV, caught by sentry-native: no tombstone; the backtrace is in `cache/sentry/*/.sentry-native/*.run/*.envelope` with module offsets) - left off. Next suspect: Unreal 5 mobile HZB occlusion reading depth stored with Valve's FDM injection layer; test = launcher `VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS=''` (Lepton then loads neither VALVE_rpo nor VALVE_fdm_injection, Fossilize still). QuestCraft: LTW overrides glGetError and returns 0 with `LIBGL_NOERROR` set; Lepton passes `LEPTON_ENV_<NAME>` to the app as `<NAME>`, so catalog `lepton_env: {LEPTON_ENV_LIBGL_NOERROR: '1'}` gets Minecraft past the GL error 1282; then black picture (see the catalog entry). FrameBridge logs `new layer` once per layer type per process and projection views only for the first frames, so a second session in the same process (Vivecraft after Unity) needs `layer_debug=1`.
**Vulkan validation / ITR2 solved (2026-10-05):** Khronos' validation layer can't come from Lepton (its layer dir is in the read-only guest image; the Linux copies on the Frame are glibc) and a global `debug.vulkan.layers` property (via the LEPTON_GFXRECON_FP_PROPS trick) kills the container at boot. Working recipe: bundle `libVkLayer_khronos_validation.so` (Khronos android-binaries release, arm64-v8a, stored uncompressed) into a test APK re-signed with the game's key (`apk.sign.sign`), install with `frameport install <pkg> --apk`, and set the Vulkan shim's `vk_validation=1` (it adds the layer at vkCreateInstance; findings under the logcat tag VALIDATION in launch.log, each message ID capped at 10). ITR2's flicker + windows behind models = Unreal's Qualcomm shader-resolve subpasses with a depth resolve of a single-sampled depth attachment (VUID-04908/-03179); `vk_spec_fixes=1` drops that resolve (its TRANSFER_DST half never applies to ITR2: the main depth is transient). Valve's VALVE_rpo layer removed ITR2's fog (catalog `lepton_env: VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS: VK_LAYER_VALVE_fdm_injection`). `r.ViewDistanceScale=2` in the internal Saved/Config/Android/Engine.ini only exists on the owner's Frame (the catalog can't write internal storage yet). Launch tests: Lepton prints a transient "is not a running context" on the first start after an APK change (agent v54 `not_started` waits 30 s for "Boot complete!").
**GitHub #38/#39 (2026-10-05):** PowerWash Simulator stuck at "Waiting.." on a reporter's Frame = Unity sized the right-eye image rect past its swapchain (rect 268+1656 on a 1920-wide swapchain; the runtime's recommended size differs per Frame) and SteamVR rejected every frame (`xrEndFrame failed -25`, XR_ERROR_SWAPCHAIN_RECT_INVALID), after which the game stopped calling xrEndFrame. FrameBridge `rect_clamp` (default on; sizes noted in xrCreateSwapchain; clamped layers count as swapped) keeps projection/quad rects inside their swapchain; triage `swapchain-rect-invalid`. Not reproducible on the dev Frame with `scale` (Unity's eye sizing isn't just the recommended width); no regression there (72 fps). The adapter's revision was NOT bumped (that would mark every installed game outdated): affected users rebuild. The Room VR (#38) = Unity's render thread SIGSEGV in libgallium_dri.so ~30 ms after the game recreates its eye swapchain with samples=4 (FrameBridge retries samples=1); the game's own code turns MSAA on (not OVRManager); candidate fix: hide GL_EXT_multisampled_render_to_texture (GL shim) - needs the APK to test. The launch test passed both (render thread dead / no frames): triage gap.
**Headset round 2026-10-05 (evening):** I Am Cat's judder = repeated xrLocateViews of one display time returning
slightly different poses → FrameBridge `pose_consistency` (owner-verified, works). Lucky's Tale freeze on touching a
save slot = OVRPort's OpenXR dispatcher converting XR_FB_haptic_amplitude_envelope with ns read as s (GitHub #9) →
xrshim `haptic_fix` (owner-verified); its remaining short pauses were the wear sensor ("HMD off/on" 0.5-1 s in
`logs/eyetracking.txt`, not vrserver.txt) → **`focus_hold` is on by default with 5 s** (owner's choice; C defaults
too). The Room VR works (`unity_no_overlay_copy`). BattleSisters (Unity 2019.4 built-in VR, no libOculusXRPlugin.so)
flooded "outside of frame bounds" ~2400/s and hung the GPU (kernel hangcheck, zink DEVICE LOST) → the ovrpshim frame
wait now also applies to Unity 2019 without the Oculus XR Plugin (`UnityOculusCheck.legacy_loop`). Vader Immortal
(UE4, stuck on the loading image after the intro, GitHub #49): VRP repacks carry a Frida gadget (`libfrda.so`,
config `hijack_responses`), but OVRPort's `patch_clean_up_frida` removes its loadLibrary call, so it never runs on
the Frame; `frame.ovr_trace` (opt-in, `native/ovrtrace`: 1138 exported ovr_* stubs → real loader functions, logcat
tag `fp_ovrtrace`: calls, PopMessage answers, unanswered requests every 10 s) is the next diagnostic.
**Unity built-in VR input (2026-10-05):** probe builds (`FRAMEPORT_INPUT_PROBE=1 frameport build …`; it logs
trigger/grip crossings too) showed OVRPlugin returns the full Touch state for every controller mask (also Go masks);
presses reach the games' OVRInput. Accounting+ (Il2CppDumper v6.7.46 reads its Unity 2017 metadata v24, run on Windows)
passes stance selection (NewtonVR grip/trigger) but its motion warning waits for `Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0/1)`,
which Lepton never delivers (no focused Android window) → ovrpshim registers its own
`UnityEngine.Input::GetMouseButtonDown(System.Int32)` icall (il2cpp_add_internal_call, after Unity's: resolve first)
that adds a click in the frame a Touch trigger or A/B/X/Y is newly pressed (`unity_oculus_check` revision 3).
BattleSisters (Unity 2019 InputSystem/XR InputDevices via `VrHandInput`): libunity's Oculus module (OVRPlugin
function table: a global pointer at 0x16b57c0 in this build, slots filled by name, e.g. +0x160 GetControllerState,
+0x168 State2, +0xe8 GetNodePresent) only reports controllers when `strncmp(deviceModel, "Oculus", 6) == 0` (next to
the Go check `deviceModel == "Oculus Pacific"`); Lepton's model is "Valve Lepton" → Go/unknown → only Go masks polled,
buttons dead. `unity_oculus_check` revision 4 (`oculus_model_checks`, Unity 2019 only) turns the 17 compares' length
into 0 (`orr w2, wzr, #6` → `mov w2, #0` after the adrp/add of the "Oculus" literal; the string stays: it is also
Unity's VR device name). Device result: libunity now polls `ovrp_GetControllerState(0x3)` (Touch); owner-confirmed
2026-10-06: buttons work. Its first controller vibration then hit OVRPort's haptic-envelope bug (11 GB, OOM kill) →
`haptic_fix` is now suggested for every game with libOVRPlugin.so (settings detect), BattleSisters works. Ruled out before: ProductName, GetNodePresent, the device-model string itself, exports.
Accounting+ works (owner, 2026-10-06).
**Vader Immortal (UE4, GitHub #49, 2026-10-06, headless):** stuck after the intro on an in-game image (the splash
quad ends ~6 s in; then the game's own projection frames, 72 fps, balanced xrBeginFrame/xrEndFrame). Not the Platform
SDK (`frame.ovr_trace`: only user + entitlement, both answered) and not the repack's Frida gadget (OVRPort's
`patch_clean_up_frida` removes its loadLibrary). It **leaks ~430 GPU mappings (/dev/dri/renderD128) and ~20 MB a
second** (6.5 GB + swap after 5 min, then 26 fps): page-fault stacks (perf -e page-faults, offsets resolved with the
process maps + vrclient.so's own symbols; its text segment is at file offset + 0x4000) end in SteamVR's runtime:
`xrBeginFrame → CSxrCompositorOpenVR::BeginFrame → SubmitExplicitTimingData → CVRCompositorSharedTextures::
BeginGPUTimingCommandBuffer` and `xrEndFrame → CVRCompositorClient::SubmitWithArrayIndexAndTime`. Ruled out: the
layer color scale/bias + image layout structs (FrameBridge `strip_color_bias` 1/2, diagnostic), Valve's Vulkan
layers (VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS=""), array swapchains in general (Lucky's Tale/I Am Cat flat). Kernel tracepoints aren't
allowed for steamos. FrameBridge: `layer_debug` logs xrDestroySwapchain and per-5 s xrBeginFrame/xrEndFrame counts;
`frame_balance` (ends an open frame before the next begin) exists but Vader never leaves one open. Next (built,
not yet run: the Frame slept): `layer_debug` also counts xrAcquire/Wait/ReleaseSwapchainImage per 5 s (hooked only
with layer_debug, after the other conditional hooks) to see whether Vader skips a wait or release: it doesn't (361/361/361 per 5 s).
FrameBridge `snapshot=N` (`snapshot_gl.c`, GLES): every N s the left-eye image the game submits is read back on its
own context and saved as `files/fb_snap_0-7.ppm` (quarter size) — headless launches show a black headset view, this
shows what the game draws. Vader: Lucasfilm logo (an OBB mp4: video works), then its loading card (portrait + segmented
bar) that never advances; the async loader thread sleeps and OBB reads stop (~168 MB of a 2.7 GB pak).
**SteamVR overlay apps (agent v75, 2026-10-10):** host OpenVR overlays (VRApplication_Overlay) are composited over Lepton (Quest) games on the Frame (probe checker seen over 4XVR in the headset view, `native/vroverlay_probe`); Windows ones register through Proton's vrclient too (Temporal Reality's Windows build created its overlays; fpsVR never reaches OpenVR under Proton). Detection `analysis/vroverlay.py` (bundled `.vrmanifest` with `is_dashboard_overlay`, else OpenVR + IVROverlay + self-registration markers, engine Other; Rift fingerprint `RIFT_ANALYSIS`), patch `pcvr.vr_overlay` (param autostart), Linux entry fields `vr_overlay`/`vr_overlay_autostart` (game page switch); agent `register_vr_overlay`/`unregister_vr_overlay`/`launch_vr_overlay` (IVRApplications via ctypes, live; manifest `<anchor>/frameport-overlay.vrmanifest`, the app's own key, binary = launch.sh). **SteamVR on the Frame reads only `binary_path_linux_arm`** (binary_path_linux alone is skipped). Overlay apps: no launch test, no Linux Steam-parent watchdog (`FRAMEPORT_OVERLAY`), not a "running game". A Steam overlay-app shortcut and a game shortcut run together. SteamVR's SetApplicationAutoLaunch didn't persist on the dev Frame (the watch never started by itself) → **agent v76: FramePort's own autostart**: the deployment's `overlay.autostart` is the source of truth; `ensure_host_fixes` (`ensure_overlay_service`) keeps the user service `frameport-vr-overlays.service` (`_vr_overlay_watch`, 5 s polls of the known vrserver's /proc stat) only while an overlay app has autostart on (register/unregister, uninstall, purge and the kill switch `~/.local/share/frameport/vr-overlays.disabled` / `FRAMEPORT_NO_OVERLAY_AUTOSTART` update it); a new vrserver (pid + start time, kept in `~/.cache/frameport-vr-overlays.json` across agent updates) → child `_vr_overlay_round`: wait for IVRApplications, 15 s grace, `launch_vr_overlay` for apps not running (folder process or GetApplicationProcessId); log `~/.local/share/frameport/vr-overlays.log`. Dev Frame: adopted the running vrserver, skipped the already running watch; a start after a real SteamVR start/boot is not yet seen. Details: docs/FRAME_RUNTIME.md "Overlay apps".
**Vader's leak solved / AC Nexus flips (2026-10-14):** Vader Immortal leaves GL errors pending on its context; SteamVR's GL interop (`openxr_graphics_gl_openvr.cpp`, `xrclient_<pkg>.txt` in Steam's logs: `SXR_GL_CHECK: error:0x502 ... glGenTextures`) takes the stale error as its own failure once, and from then on `CVRCompositorSharedTextures::BeginCommandBuffer` allocates a command buffer every frame (perf page-fault stacks; ~430 renderD128 mappings + 22 MB/s). Adapter `gl_error_clear` (GLES, catalog on for Vader ep1-3) clears them before xrCreateSwapchain/xrBeginFrame/xrEndFrame: flat memory, no SXR_GL_CHECK (headless). The per-game `xrclient_<pkg>.txt` logs are worth reading for runtime errors. The Frame's runtime caps swapchains per session (XR_ERROR_LIMIT_REACHED from ~15; AC Nexus asks for more): flip emulation now turns quads upright in place (scratch VkImage, once per acquire; transfer usage added to single-layer colour swapchains) instead of a shadow swapchain per quad, which ran into the cap (#138). Headless sessions don't draw AC Nexus's panels (adapter `flip_dump` saves before/after images of flipped quads, for headset runs).
**Lepton's logcat mirror dies (agent v67, 2026-10-09):** occasionally launch.log ends with `logcat: Unexpected EOF!` right after the game starts (about 1 launch in 50, Lepton 2.8.14 and 3.0.5): no dashboard auto-hide, no launch-test result. launch.sh's `_logcat_keeper` then reads `podman exec lepton-steamlaunch-<appid> logcat` itself into launch.log (up to 5 restarts while the game runs).
**Double launch (agent v57, 2026-10-06):** a second Play while Lepton still boots (~10 s with nothing to see) made
the second Lepton stop the first one's container ("Waiting for steamlaunch-<appid> (PID …) to exit", exit 137
"(starting)", "Clearing baked app data due to early exit") and both died (Vader, BattleSisters). launch.sh now takes
`flock` on `<base>/.launch.lock` (fd 9, inherited by Lepton; the watchdog and dashboard helpers close it with
`9>&-`); a second launch exits 0 and logs to `<base>/launch-dup.log`. `upgrade_launchers` adds it to existing
launchers. Verified on the device (second launch during boot: ignored, the first kept running). Vader on its loading
card ignores input too (owner pressed/held every button: presses reach the runtime, the card never changes).
**Issue triage round (2026-10-06, owner's headset):** vibration in OVRPlugin games = 2 s vibrations updated per frame and
stopped with amplitude 0; FrameBridge turns amplitude 0 into xrStopHapticFeedback (else each buzz ran 2 s), haptic_fix
uses the envelope RMS (was its peak), per-game `haptic_scale` → Creed/The Boys/Jurassic World fine. Lambda1VR (TBXR):
loader named by Build.MANUFACTURER (`frame.tbxr_vendor`), no graphics extension enabled (FrameBridge adds
XR_KHR_opengl_es_enable + asks for the requirements on -50), always multisampled render-to-texture (GL shim gives
single-sampled stand-ins when GL_EXT_multisampled_render_to_texture is hidden) + its xash/ data → works. Jurassic World:
`frame.vrapi_stub`. Metro Awakening: contributor's vkshim fixes + hide_space_warp + no VALVE_rpo (jumping polygons like
ITR2). Pinball FX VR: hide_space_warp (stutters). Eleven: a Meta online request fails after platform init → needs Meta
services. Star Wars Tales: top half black + freeze after loading; ruled out: asset-file paks (never requested), Valve
foveation (off: no change), GL errors (MESA_DEBUG=1: none), EGL_BAD_ACCESS once in OVRPlugin init (harmless); the game's
eye image reads back black. BlazeRush: VrApi bridge exports + ovr*_ToString stubs + avatar stub get it to the menu room
at 72 fps, full input reaches it (diagnostics `input 5s`: Touch type only, sticks 1.0, buttons, poses 0x8f), but the room
draws no controllers and ignores input; avatar loader forced to its "Failed" path (no logged-in user) changed nothing.
`frame.ovr_trace` can't trace Unity games (P/Invoke dlsym; nothing imports ovr_*). Headless: the VrApi bridge's 30 s
head-pose deadline ends VR mode without a worn headset (not a game bug).
**Lepton storage (2026-09-30):** each app's /sdcard (= /storage/emulated/0 → `<base>/lepton-data/external`) has `Movies`/`Download`/`Documents` symlinked to the Frame's `~/Videos`/`~/Downloads`/`~/Documents` (liblepton/mounting.sh, only if they exist at start); agent v24 `storage_targets` reads that mapping. Android's MediaProvider canonicalises paths to /home/steamos/... and rejects every file ("doesn't appear under [/system/media...]"), `sm list-volumes` is empty: the media index never works, apps must browse folders. Lepton installs with `adb install -g` (runtime permissions granted, MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE too). Files: `install/files.py`, `frameport frame send|storage`, GUI Files tab (formerly Frame → Send files).
**SteamVR per-app settings (2026-09-30):** editing steamvr.vrsettings while SteamVR runs is lost; the web API (127.0.0.1:27062 /app/setsettings) needs `x-steamvr-secret`. `native/vrsettings` = `fp_vrsettings.exe` (freestanding, OpenVR `FnTable:IVRSettings_003` as a Utility app, loads SteamVR's bin/win64/openvr_api.dll) sets them live and SteamVR persists them: section `steam.app.<shortcut appid>`, keys `preferredRefreshRate` (float) and `motionSmoothingOverride` (0 global, 1 on, 2 off, 3 always). Steam Link (vrlink) lists the Frame's rates 72/80/90/96/108/120/144 in vrserver.txt and follows the per-app preference ("host preferred N Hz"; whether the key is honoured is unverified in-headset yet). Judder metric: vrcompositor.txt session summary dropped + "Timed out. N total" (Stormland: 0 dropped but 313 timeouts in 2 min); fpsVR (`%LOCALAPPDATA%\fpsVR\*.json`, 0.1 ms histograms) gives p99 CPU/GPU ms. `pcvr.steamvr_tuning` (default on, PC only) applies on Play: highest rate whose budget ≥ p99×1.05, at least one step down, smoothing on.
**Language packs (merged from PR #20, 2026-10-04):** overport's `libovrplatformloader.so` is a dispatcher that `dlopen`s Meta's own loader (`libovrplatformloader_meta.so` / `_meta_q1.so`, also `libpxrplatformloader.so`) and keeps its own message queue; `ovr_LanguagePack_GetCurrent/SetCurrent` are 8-byte `return 0` stubs in it, `ovr_AssetFile_GetList` forwards to Meta's loader. `frame.langpacks` (opt-in, `native/langpack`) serves `<tag>.lang` files from the game's data; `elf.hide_exports` marks the loader's exports STB_LOCAL (bionic and glibc only match GLOBAL/WEAK; verified for glibc, bionic's `is_symbol_global_and_defined` is from memory). `libfp_langpack.so` is built here (`python native/build.py --only langpack`) and committed. Owner-verified 2026-10-04: Deadpool VR with only `en.lang` and the patch on plays English dialogue and runs normally (headless launch tests show 2-6 fps while it loads: not a regression sign). A dispatcher answer that arrives after we answered the timed-out GetList is dropped (one answer per request); games already in a library get `lang_packs` filled after an app update (`library._refresh_data_fields`). The library logs to logcat under the tag `fp_langpack` (dirs looked in, packs found, every language-pack call), so it shows up in the game's `launch.log`; an `ovr_AssetFile_GetList` the dispatcher leaves unanswered for 1.5 s is answered with our packs alone. Deadpool VR (Unreal) accepts a pack only when its `Metadata` equals the game's own version string (`ULanguagePacksSubsystem` compares it with `%s.%s.%s.%s.%s` built from the build info, e.g. `1.0.40.356975.Quest` = versionName; found by disassembling `libUE4.so`): the patch writes the APK's versionName into the library (`@FPMETA@` slot, `with_metadata`), `FRAMEPORT_LANGPACK_META` overrides it. Deadpool VR (2026-10-04, headset): German became selectable with that Metadata, but dialogue stayed silent (even English once reported as a pack) while the path was spelled `/sdcard/Android/obb/<pkg>/x.lang`; with the `/storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/<pkg>/x.lang` spelling (Unreal's own, now listed first in `scan_dirs`) German dialogue plays. `FRAMEPORT_LANGPACK_SKIP=<tags>` or a file `fp_langpack_skip` in the obb folder leaves packs out of the list (experiments).
**Cube swapchains (GitHub #107, 2026-10-09):** the Frame's runtime refuses `faceCount=6` swapchains (-2,
XR_ERROR_RUNTIME_FAILURE); OVRPlugin ignores that ("CreateSwapchain for eye 0: 0x0, 0 stages") and crashes in
ovrp_EndFrame4 (memset). FrameBridge `cube_standin` (default on, `native/adapter/cube_standin.c`) serves a refused cube
swapchain as one GL cube-map texture in the app's context (GLES only) and drops its layers. Verified headless with
Budget Cuts Ultimate (2048² sRGB, 12 mips; runs on at ~70 fps); what the cube layer showed is simply missing.
**Hardware video decoding (PR #96, PR #128 by Lucas-Mathieu, adapted 2026-10-10, agent v71):** `native/hevc` = one
OMX plugin `OMX.frameport.{avc,hevc,vp9}.decoder` (FFmpeg v4l2m2m on Iris /dev/video-dec0, FFmpeg software decoders as
fallback inside the component, Vulkan copy for big native surfaces). The connection installs it once per Frame
(`ensure_video_codec` → agent `video_codec_status`/`install_video_codec`: `~/.local/share/frameport/video-codec/versions/
<manifest sha>` + `current` symlink). A Frame keeps the same or a newer `revision` (no flip-flop between PCs) → **bump
`revision` in native/hevc/build.py with every artifact change**; a failed install isn't retried during the connection.
Per game: only launchers of games whose recipe has `frame.hw_video_decode` (install stage, no APK change; suggested
from analysis `media_codec`, ANALYSIS_VERSION 8; deployment.json `hw_video_decode`) get the codec line → the Podman
wrapper (native/hevc/podman.py) mounts the plugin into that container (merged media_codecs.xml in
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/frameport-video). Off for every game: Settings → Installing (library `video.hw_decode` → agent
`video_codec_switch` = video-codec/disabled); one game: `FRAMEPORT_NO_HW_VIDEO=1 %command%`. `upgrade_launchers`
converts agent ≤70 launchers (Batman's `<base>/frameport-codec` → keeps the line, folder then removed). Batman: catalog
+ migration `batman_video_patches` (`frame.hw_video_decode` + hidden adapter setting `surface_native`). Iris: 8K
refused (ENOMEM) while any other decoder session is open; SteamVR's vrlinkrunthread holds one ~12 s at game start →
refused opens retry until 20 s after the plugin loaded (else 2 s), then software; VP9 7680x3840 never returned a
picture → VP9 ≤4096x2304; hidden VP9 frames come back as empty capture buffers (bytesused 0, no LAST):
FFmpeg's wrapper ended the EOS drain at the first one (two-pass VP9 lost its last ~25 frames) → build.py requeues
them (codec revision 8; drain ends at LAST, or 1 s after a skipped empty buffer; dev Frame 2026-10-10: 600/600 =
OMX.google.vp9 Y hashes). Rebuilds are deterministic (ext4 + NTFS path
with spaces, two NDK copies → same; rev 8 141de01f…; PR #128's own sources → its 27a2d749…). Not yet run on the device.
**Vulkan shader dump (GitHub #140, 2026-10-10):** adapter `vk_shader_dump=1` (Vulkan shim, `native/vkshim/shader_dump.h`;
applies where vk_sanitize can: Unreal/Other arm64) writes each distinct SPIR-V module once to
`files/fp_vk_shaders/<size>_<sha256>.spv` (tmp + rename) and one `index.txt` line per vkCreateShaderModule (`<seq> <ms>
<unix ms> <name> new|known|again|failed`, O_APPEND) to find the module behind a GPU hang. Agent v72 `collect_diag`
returns `shaders` (newest modules of fp_vk_shaders + fp_spirv, ≤4 MB each, base64) → bundle
`games/<pkg>/target/shaders/`. Triage `gpu-hang` suggests both dumps; `triage.graphics_api` (FrameBridge's
xrCreateSwapchain formats: <0x1000 Vulkan, else GL) keeps only the session's API's (`API_ONLY`). Host-tested only.
Agent v74: a reporter's hang came ~10 s after the last new module, so the culprit wasn't among the newest written →
with an index naming modules, `shader_dumps` sends every module of the index's **newest session** (after the last
`# start`), deduplicated, last used first, each ≤4 MB, ≤30 MB in all (`session` = how many it names) + that session's
index lines; no index (fp_spirv) = the old newest-by-mtime 4 MB. One JSON line (~40 MB base64) over the SSH channel
is read whole by `Frame.agent` (fine at that size); `_Writer.fit` drops the least recently used modules last, after
cutting logs, to stay under the 24 MB zip limit.
**Unreal OBB check (GitHub #159, 2026-10-10):** Epic's DownloaderActivity checks OBB name+size (OBBData), then with `bVerifyOBBOnStartUp=true` CRCs the whole OBB; its screens are invisible in Lepton (stuck at `Displayed …/.DownloaderActivity`, triage `unreal-obb-check-stuck`) → `frame.unreal_skip_obb_check` (analysis `unreal_verify_obb`, ANALYSIS_VERSION 11) flips the manifest boolean (`axml.set_meta_data_bool`); skips only the CRC pass. Host-tested only.
**Issue round 2026-10-12 (agent v83):** Lepton pastes STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH unquoted into `sh -c "ln -s …/internal/<pkg>
/data/data/<pkg>"` (mounting.sh): a game on a card named "Steam Frame 512g" got no internal storage (no saves/prefs;
Beyond Sandbox's EOS then looped `createKeychain→resetKeychain` forever, 1.85 GB log). Quest launchers with an unsafe
path now `ln -sfn <base> ~/.local/share/frameport/lepton-paths/<pkg>` at every start and give Lepton that path
(`app_dir_lines`/`set_app_dir`/`launcher_base`; upgrade_launchers converts; deployment.json keeps the real base).
Verified on the device with a spaced copy of Stremio (old: the `ln` error; new: /data/data link, shared_prefs
writable). `frame.eos_keychain_loop` (opt-in, triage `eos-keychain-loop`) returns from EOSSDK.resetKeychain. Wander
0.3570 (Unity 6.5, Firebase, Gecko) ran out of bionic's 128 pthread keys → `frame.unity_tls_key_pool` (Klownicle's
approach, #198: libunity's 4 key imports renamed `fp_tkey_*` via `elf.rename_imports`, `libfp_tkeys.so` pools
destructor-less keys behind one real key); device: past Firestore, 72 fps. Cpp2IL releases can't read metadata v107
(Unity 6.5) → `tools/cpp2il.py` falls back to the development CI build (nightly.link) on that error. Vermillion's canvas
is an OVROverlay quad (drawn above the hand) → `frame.vermillion_scene_canvas` (PaintableMesh getters → false;
installed build checked, 72 fps headless; headset not yet). Linux apps: `desktop_icon` switch, a deleted desktop copy
stays deleted (#212). Findings: OLAR (#201) RHIThread null deref in libUnreal (`ldr x8,[x19,#792]`, x19=0) not fixed by
hide_space_warp / vk_hide_fdm / no Valve layers; FNAF HW (#135) "freeze" = first-start GL program-binary-cache compile
on Zink (threads busy in zink/disk cache), not a hang; VR4 (#199) reporter's patch.203 OBB truncated. Upload benchmark
(`scripts/upload_bench.py`, #242): home Wi-Fi caps every method at ~11 MB/s; paramiko uses ~3x OpenSSH's CPU; Windows
OpenSSH refuses FramePort's key file (ACL "bad permissions") until its permissions are tightened.
**Meta user id (GitHub #182, 2026-10-11):** OVRPort's platform loader (runtimes 3.4.3-23204ea and -aa54c3f) answers
`ovr_GetLoggedInUserID` (and two other callers) without a Meta account with a made-up id from a helper (`stp; mov x29,
sp; bl random; …; mov/movk x9 = 0x53444835ec580000 (6e18); add x0, x8, x9; ldp; ret`), kept only in memory → a new id
every start; Walkabout Mini Golf files saves under `Profiles/Oculus/<id>/` and lost all progress. `frame.ovr_stable_user`
(default_on, detect = the game has libovrplatformloader.so) rewrites the helper to `mov x0, <6e18 + 32 bits of
sha256(package, keystore)>; ret`: stable per game and per user (keystores are personal), so online games never see two
FramePort users as one. Found in every PATCHED build checked. Host-tested only; upstream candidate.
**Vivox API 31 (GitHub #101, 2026-10-09):** newer Vivox builds (Green Hell VR) call Android 12 AudioManager
communication-device methods from `com.vivox.sdk.AudioChangeListener` with no SDK check → NoSuchMethodError on Lepton's
Android 11. `frame.vivox_audio_route` (analysis `vivox_api31`, ANALYSIS_VERSION 4) makes every such method return at
once (`Dex.return_early`: return-void / `const/4 v0,0; return v0`; nopping the invoke would leave a move-result the
verifier rejects). Older Vivox (Eleven Table Tennis, BattleSisters) lacks that code and isn't matched. Verified
headless: Vivox initialises, 150 s at ~65-70 fps.
**Steam Input gamepad for 2D apps (GitHub #162, agent v72, 2026-10-10):** Lepton's Android only has the Wayland seat's `wayland_touch/keyboard/pointer`. Steam makes its virtual pad (uinput, `/devices/virtual/input`, 28de:11ff, "Microsoft X-Box 360 pad N", ACL for steamos) only while the Frame's controllers are on (controller.txt "Steam Controller reserving XInput slot 0"; gone when they sleep), also with no game running; steamos-manager's 28de:0000 keys device isn't a pad (no BTN_SOUTH). Lepton's container root (system_server too) = steamos (`keep-id:uid=0`), so a bind-mounted `/dev/input/eventN` opens. Opt-in `device.steam_gamepad` (vr_kind none; suggested for `android.hardware.gamepad`/`LEANBACK_LAUNCHER`, analysis `gamepad`, ANALYSIS_VERSION 9): deployment.json `steam_gamepad` → launcher `GAMEPAD_LINE` (after the codec line: exports FRAMEPORT_GAMEPAD + LEPTON_ENV_SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_ALLOW_STEAM_VIRTUAL_GAMEPAD, puts `agent/bin` first on PATH) → `PODMAN_WRAPPER` (written by ensure_host_fixes; non-`run` calls go straight on; `run` imports the agent's `podman_run_args`; hands on to the next Podman after its own PATH entry with itself removed from PATH, so it chains to the codec wrapper either way round) adds the pads + `Vendor_28de_Product_<pid>.kl` (Xbox 360 layout). Verified headless with a uinput stand-in pad (Stremio's container: EventHub `classes=0x80000141`, our key layout, KeyEvent BUTTON_A dispatched); with Steam's real pad and a game: not yet. Pads made after the start aren't seen until the next one.
**Multiview programs on flat framebuffers (GitHub #77, Doom3Quest, 2026-10-09, prototype):** Mesa enforces OVR_multiview's
"program num_views == draw framebuffer views" rule (`draw_validate.c`, the draw is dropped silently); Qualcomm doesn't.
Doom3Quest compiles every VS with `layout(num_views=2) in;` and draws its HUD/PDA into 2D-texture FBOs → black. Opt-in
`frame.gl_multiview_fbo` (analysis `gl_multiview_libs`, ANALYSIS_VERSION 6; own-engine GLES only): `native/glmv` =
`libfpglmv.so` (12 chars = "libGLESv3.so": libdoom3.so's one `.rodata` dlopen string is rewritten in place, its qgl*
table comes from dlsym on that handle; also first DT_NEEDED for its direct gl*/egl* imports). Such draws use a lazily
built single-view twin (view 0, uniforms copied per draw); eglMakeCurrent resets the per-thread cache. Host-tested only
(rewriter on all 19 Doom3Quest shaders + glmv.c against a stand-in GL, `tests/test_gl_multiview_fbo.py`); the host's
Mesa 23.2 llvmpipe has no OVR_multiview. Headset-verified by Xandrix1987 (2026-10-09: HUD/PDA shown, no fps drop) -> in the Doom3Quest catalog recipe.
**BlazeRush (GitHub #57, Klownicle's verified guide, 2026-10-10; FramePort's version headless-tested only):**
`frame.blazerush` (1.0.349 only: exec-segment SHA + every word checked, offsets from PT_LOAD) NOPs the avatar-readiness
wait (0x4b2dbc), RETs the avatar renderer (0x4b2adc), renames `cache/shader_cache` → `cache/br_shader_v1`. GL shim
(now also exports glShaderSource/glLinkProgram/glProgramBinary/glDeleteProgram/glDraw*: pass-through unless a setting
is on) `gl_int_attribs` (integer inputs fed via glVertexAttribPointer re-set with glVertexAttribIPointer per draw,
reflection cached per EGL context + program, dropped on link/binary/delete) and `gl_highp_markers` (vertex shaders with
every '|' marker: mediump→highp except on in/out/uniform lines); host test `tests/test_blazerush.py` with a stand-in
GL. FOV: the game reads VrApi props 7/8 right after vrapi_Initialize (no session; the Frame has no
XR_EPIC_view_configuration_fov) → the bridge saves the live FOV (also located before tracking, headless: 118.87×120.04
on the dev Frame) in `files/framebridge-vrapi-fov.txt` and answers with it at the next start (log `FOV properties: …
(saved by an earlier session)`). `device.config_sync` (catalog field `config_sync`, agent v78): user_config.xml
r_3dwidth/height, r_width/height from the runtime eye size (FrameBridge logs `runtime recommended eye size`) × scale,
written at finalize, set_settings and by launch.sh before Lepton starts (`_config_sync`). Headless runs at scale 1.7
end in `zink: DEVICE LOST` right after the bridge's 30 s no-tracking deadline tears the session down (gpu fault at the
teardown; not at scale 1.0): a headless-only artifact, the headset never hits that deadline. Launch tests count an exit/crash after
such a line as a pass (triage.yaml `headless_end`, finding `headless-end`; GitHub #57 "Failed to launch" on install).
**Session triage (agent v70, 2026-10-09):** launch tests never reach FOCUSED, so real play sessions are triaged
too. list_installed gives each game `last_play` {start, end, test} from `<anchor>/plays.log` (launch tests write a
`test <unix>` line first → test sessions are only marked); `session_log` returns the newest session's launch.log
(`<base>/session.log`, ≤4 MB: head + tail + FrameBridge/crash lines between) + that session's logcat-crash.log +
`journalctl -k` GPU lines ("kernel: …"). The GUI's connection refresh (`app._check_sessions` → `pipeline.sessions_due`,
background thread; sessions >7 days old are skipped) runs `pipeline.triage_session` = `validate/session.analyze`
(triage.yaml signatures incl. `space-warp-used` (info, `question:`, never auto-applied), `gpu-hang` (`report: true`)
+ computed `slow-frames` (pacing windows vs the nearest refresh rate) and `focus-dips` (FrameBridge always logs
`focus: lost` / `focus: back after N ms`, session_fixes.c)) → library `last_session` / `last_session_checked` → game
page "Last session" callout (Try this fix / Rebuild with this fix / Yes-No question / Report / Dismiss). Suggestions may
be values (`adapter.scale=0.85`, `triage.split_suggestion`); adapter-only fixes are pushed live (`apply_suggestions_live`
→ agent set_settings, like the Game settings dialog). CLI `frameport session <pkg> [--apply]`. PC VR (Proton) launchers
log no session end, so they aren't triaged yet. pac_hints stays triage-only: a survey of all 68 dump APKs found unpaired
PAC hints in 21 libraries of 18 games (OpenSSL's 38/40 in most UE4 libUE4.so and libEOSSDK.so, UE5 libUnreal.so ~400
vs +2-3, libass, libopencv, …), most of them games that work, so default-on would rewrite many working builds.
**Start activity / QuestCraft / ITR2 pop-in:** `frame.start_activity` (analysis `extra.vr_activity`, `axml.set_start_activity`; OVRPort gives every MAIN activity LAUNCHER, so take the VR activity from the original APK); Unreal reads user config from **internal** storage; Lepton passes `LEPTON_ENV_<NAME>` to the app as `<NAME>` (QuestCraft `LIBGL_NOERROR`); vkshim `vk_query_slots` left off. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#start-activity--questcraft--itr2-pop-in
**Vulkan validation / ITR2 solved:** bundle Khronos' `libVkLayer_khronos_validation.so` into a test APK + vkshim `vk_validation=1` (logcat tag VALIDATION); `vk_spec_fixes=1` drops ITR2's invalid depth resolve; VALVE_rpo removed its fog (catalog `lepton_env: VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS`).

**GitHub #38/#39:** SteamVR rejects image rects past their swapchain (-25) → FrameBridge `rect_clamp` (default on), triage `swapchain-rect-invalid`; The Room VR MSAA crash in libgallium. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#github-3839-powerwash-simulator-the-room-vr
**Headset round 2026-10-05:** FrameBridge `pose_consistency` (I Am Cat judder), xrshim `haptic_fix` (Lucky's Tale), **`focus_hold` on by default with 5 s** (wear-sensor dips, `logs/eyetracking.txt`), `unity_no_overlay_copy` (The Room VR), ovrpshim frame wait for Unity 2019 (`UnityOculusCheck.legacy_loop`), `frame.ovr_trace` (opt-in, `native/ovrtrace`, logcat `fp_ovrtrace`). → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#headset-round-2026-10-05-evening
**Unity built-in VR input:** probe builds `FRAMEPORT_INPUT_PROBE=1`; ovrpshim adds a `GetMouseButtonDown` icall click (Accounting+); libunity 2019 only polls Touch when the device model starts with "Oculus" → `unity_oculus_check` revision 4 `oculus_model_checks` (BattleSisters); `haptic_fix` suggested for every game with libOVRPlugin.so. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#unity-built-in-vr-input-accounting-battlesisters
**Vader Immortal (GitHub #49):** stuck on its loading card and leaked GPU mappings (solved below: `gl_error_clear`); diagnostics FrameBridge `layer_debug`, `strip_color_bias`, `frame_balance`, `snapshot=N` (`snapshot_gl.c`: saves the submitted left-eye image as `files/fb_snap_*.ppm`). → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#vader-immortal-headless-investigation
**SteamVR overlay apps:** host OpenVR overlays composite over Lepton games; detection `analysis/vroverlay.py`, patch `pcvr.vr_overlay`, Linux fields `vr_overlay`/`vr_overlay_autostart`, agent `register_vr_overlay`/`unregister_vr_overlay`/`launch_vr_overlay`; SteamVR on the Frame reads only `binary_path_linux_arm`; FramePort's own autostart (`ensure_overlay_service`, `frameport-vr-overlays.service`). See also docs/FRAME_RUNTIME.md "Overlay apps". → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#steamvr-overlay-apps
**Vader's leak solved / AC Nexus flips:** stale GL errors broke SteamVR's GL interop → adapter `gl_error_clear` (GLES, catalog for Vader ep1-3); read `xrclient_<pkg>.txt` in Steam's logs for runtime errors; the runtime caps swapchains per session (~15) → flip emulation in place; adapter `flip_dump`. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#vaders-leak-solved--ac-nexus-flips
**Unreal's self-restart:** UE 4.21+ restarts itself after the first shader precompile and Lepton ends the container → launch.sh RESTART_BLOCK starts Lepton once more (`upgrade_launchers`; `FRAMEPORT_NO_RESTART=1` off). → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#unreals-self-restart
**xrWaitFrame runs ahead:** the runtime sometimes returns a display time <1 refresh after the last submit and rejects the second submission (`VRCompositorError_AlreadySubmitted`) → the VrApi bridge re-waits (`pacing 2s:` counters). → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#xrwaitframe-runs-ahead-journey-of-the-gods
**Lepton's logcat mirror dies** (EOF, read failure, or silent) → launch.sh `_logcat_keeper` reads `podman exec <container> logcat` itself into launch.log (log `<base>/logcat-keeper.log`). → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#leptons-logcat-mirror-dies
**Double launch:** launch.sh takes `flock` on `<base>/.launch.lock` (fd 9); a second launch exits 0 and logs to `<base>/launch-dup.log` (`upgrade_launchers` adds it). → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#double-launch
**Issue triage round 2026-10-06:** FrameBridge turns haptic amplitude 0 into xrStopHapticFeedback, per-game `haptic_scale`; Lambda1VR → `frame.tbxr_vendor`; Jurassic World → `frame.vrapi_stub`; Metro Awakening / Pinball FX → `hide_space_warp`; `frame.ovr_trace` can't trace Unity games; the VrApi bridge's 30 s head-pose deadline ends headless VR mode. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#issue-triage-round-2026-10-06
**Lepton storage:** each app's /sdcard has `Movies`/`Download`/`Documents` symlinked to the Frame's `~/Videos`/`~/Downloads`/`~/Documents` (agent `storage_targets`); the media index never works; Lepton grants all runtime permissions. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#lepton-storage
**SteamVR per-app settings:** `native/vrsettings` = `fp_vrsettings.exe` sets `steam.app.<appid>` `preferredRefreshRate` / `motionSmoothingOverride` live; `pcvr.steamvr_tuning` (default on, PC only). → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#steamvr-per-app-settings
**Language packs:** `frame.langpacks` (opt-in, `native/langpack`, `elf.hide_exports`, logcat tag `fp_langpack`) serves `<tag>.lang` files; Unreal needs the pack's Metadata = the game's version (`with_metadata`, `FRAMEPORT_LANGPACK_META`) and the `/storage/emulated/0/...` path spelling; `FRAMEPORT_LANGPACK_SKIP`. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#language-packs
**Cube swapchains:** the runtime refuses `faceCount=6` → FrameBridge `cube_standin` (default on, GLES only, `native/adapter/cube_standin.c`). → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#cube-swapchains
**Hardware video decoding:** `native/hevc` OMX plugin (`OMX.frameport.{avc,hevc,vp9}.decoder`), installed once per Frame (`ensure_video_codec`, agent `video_codec_status`/`install_video_codec`/`video_codec_switch`); **bump `revision` in native/hevc/build.py with every artifact change**; per game `frame.hw_video_decode` (analysis `media_codec`), Settings `video.hw_decode`, `FRAMEPORT_NO_HW_VIDEO=1`; Batman migration `batman_video_patches` + `surface_native`. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#hardware-video-decoding
**Vulkan shader dump:** adapter `vk_shader_dump=1` (`native/vkshim/shader_dump.h`) writes SPIR-V modules + `index.txt` to `files/fp_vk_shaders/`; `collect_diag` returns the newest session's modules (`shader_dumps`); triage `gpu-hang`, `triage.graphics_api`. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#vulkan-shader-dump
**Unreal OBB check (#159):** `frame.unreal_skip_obb_check` (analysis `unreal_verify_obb`) turns off Epic's OBB CRC pass; triage `unreal-obb-check-stuck`. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#unreal-obb-check
**Issue round 2026-10-12:** Lepton breaks on unquoted paths with spaces → launchers give Lepton a `~/.local/share/frameport/lepton-paths/<pkg>` link (`app_dir_lines`/`set_app_dir`/`launcher_base`); `frame.eos_keychain_loop`, `frame.unity_tls_key_pool` (`libfp_tkeys.so`, `elf.rename_imports`), `frame.vermillion_scene_canvas`; `tools/cpp2il.py` falls back to Cpp2IL's dev build for metadata v107; Linux `desktop_icon`; `scripts/upload_bench.py`. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#issue-round-2026-10-12
**OpenSSH uploads (#324/#242):** `native_upload.quote` escapes only backslash and `"`, Win32 local paths go as `C:/…`; `Frame.auth` records the login that worked (app_key / user_key from `ssh.extra_keys`, `frame ssh-keys`, agent, password); strict IdentitiesOnly first, relaxed retry. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#openssh-uploads
**Meta user id (#182):** OVRPort's platform loader makes up a new user id every start → `frame.ovr_stable_user` (default on) returns a stable per-game, per-user id. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#meta-user-id
**Vivox API 31 (#101):** newer Vivox calls Android 12 AudioManager methods → `frame.vivox_audio_route` (analysis `vivox_api31`, `Dex.return_early`). → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#vivox-api-31
**Steam Input gamepad for 2D apps (#162):** opt-in `device.steam_gamepad` (deployment `steam_gamepad` → launcher `GAMEPAD_LINE` → `PODMAN_WRAPPER` / `podman_run_args` bind-mount Steam's virtual pads). → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#steam-input-gamepad-for-2d-apps
**Multiview programs on flat framebuffers (#77):** Mesa drops num_views=2 draws on single-view FBOs → `frame.gl_multiview_fbo` (`native/glmv` = `libfpglmv.so`, analysis `gl_multiview_libs`); headset-verified with Doom3Quest. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#multiview-programs-on-flat-framebuffers-doom3quest
**BlazeRush (#57):** `frame.blazerush` (1.0.349 only), GL shim `gl_int_attribs` / `gl_highp_markers`, saved VrApi FOV (`files/framebridge-vrapi-fov.txt`), `device.config_sync` (catalog `config_sync`); launch tests treat an end after the headless deadline as a pass (triage `headless_end`). → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#blazerush
**Session triage:** real play sessions are triaged too: agent `last_play` / `session_log` (`<anchor>/plays.log`), `pipeline.sessions_due` / `triage_session` = `validate/session.analyze` (incl. `space-warp-used`, `gpu-hang`, `slow-frames`, `focus-dips`) → library `last_session` → game page "Last session"; `apply_suggestions_live`; CLI `frameport session <pkg> [--apply]`; pac_hints stays triage-only. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#session-triage
**Unresolved (as of 2026-09-28):** Arcsmith (right-eye distortion) and Time Stall (both eyes) — swap, tracking, Valve
layers, depth, pacing ruled out. Sniper Elite VR (DEVICE LOST), Espire 1 (Mesa GL upload crash), HITMAN 3 (freedreno
crash): use PC versions.
**Install links / FrameDrop button protocol (2026-10-07, not yet clicked end to end from a browser):** FrameDrop
(framedropvr.com, a closed-source Windows sideloader) defines "Install with FrameDrop" buttons:
`https://framedropvr.com/install?manifest=<url>|url=<file>` → that page opens `framedrop://install?…` (1.6 s, else its
home page); manifest `{"schema":"framedrop.install/v1","name","files":[{"url","sha256"}]}` (name = Steam title; .apk
or Linux .zip). `deeplink.py` (no Flet) parses framedrop://, frameport:// and the pasted https link, enforces its
rules (https; http only on loopback; no credentials; no LAN/loopback/link-local IPs, also after DNS and redirects; URL
ends in a file name), caps manifests at 256 KiB, ignores non-hex sha256 (FrameDrop's own example has a placeholder),
downloads into `<data>/downloads/<slug>-<hash>/` (OBBs → `obb/` next to the APK, `.part` removed on cancel/mismatch);
`pipeline.add_from_link` routes APK / Linux / exe and sets `title` + `title_locked` + `link` (a bare file link keeps
FramePort's title). GUI: `views/link_dialog.py` (always asks first), Add games → "Install from a link…", CLI
`frameport open-link [--yes --no-install --gui]`. **A `flet build` bundle can't take a URL argument** (the Flutter
host treats any argv as a developer page URL), so `urlhandler.py` registers a script, not FramePort.exe: Windows
HKCU `Software\Classes\{framedrop,frameport}` → hidden PowerShell `frameport-link-handler.ps1`; WSL (source runs)
the same keys → `wsl.exe -d <distro> -e sh frameport-link-handler.sh`; Linux `frameport-links.desktop` +
`xdg-mime`; macOS unsupported (Apple Events, paste instead). The script drops the link into `<data>/links/*.link`
and starts FramePort unless `<data>/gui.alive` is < 10 s old (`gui.starting` stops double starts); the GUI's
`_watch_links` thread touches the heartbeat and opens links (newest window session). Settings → Install links: one
switch per scheme (`links.framedrop`, `links.frameport`, default on); a scheme another program owns (FrameDrop) is
only taken with "Use FramePort for these links" (`register([s], force=True)`); off removes only FramePort's own
registration (`MARK` in the command). Never registered with FRAMEPORT_HOME/FRAMEPORT_NO_LINK_HANDLER (tests,
screenshots). Same round: files dropped on the Library (`ui/dropped.py`, bundles only like the Files tab), "Add a
Windows program (.exe)…" (`pipeline.add_windows_exe`: exe in Downloads/home/drive root copied alone into
`<data>/windows-apps/<slug>/`), patch `device.display_mode` (Automatic / VR / Flat window → `InstallContext.display`,
`installer.show_window`). FramePort-only manifest extension `"frameport": {"description", "icon"}` (bad values ignored; icon: same URL rules,
≤2 MiB, Pillow-checked, ≥32 px, saved as PNG in `<data>/downloads/icons/`, shown in the question by asset URL, then
`sources.apply_custom(pkg, "icon")` unless `.picked` exists; description fills `details.description` only when
empty). Bare file links get a title guessed from the file name (`title_from_filename`: version/arch dropped, package
names → last part). Windows test of 0.12.1.dev191 (2026-10-07): a button click opened the dialog; but a click right
after closing FramePort did nothing (the closed window's heartbeat was < 10 s old) → the handler scripts now wait
up to 4 s for the link file to be taken before trusting the heartbeat, the window's CLOSE event / atexit delete
`gui.alive`, and the Windows command runs under `conhost.exe --headless` (plain `-WindowStyle Hidden` flashed a
console). Screens: `scripts/ui_smoke.py --links --fake-frame --game <pkg>` (tall pages: `--viewport
1280x7000`; Flutter's popup menu ignores Escape).
Demo link: the homepage's example button = `deeplink.DEMO_MANIFEST` (https://frameport.app/demo/cool-game.json, published
from site/public/demo/); every form (https button page, frameport://, framedrop://, pasted) → `InstallRequest.demo`,
no network (fetch_manifest returns `demo_manifest()`, download refuses), `link_dialog.show_demo` (Install =
`easter.demo_install`: Cool Game's cover out of the portal; eggs off → "Nice, it works!"), CLI just says so.
**Install links / FrameDrop button protocol:** `deeplink.py` parses framedrop://, frameport:// and https install links (strict URL rules, manifest ≤256 KiB, downloads into `<data>/downloads/`), `pipeline.add_from_link`, `views/link_dialog.py`, CLI `frameport open-link`; `urlhandler.py` registers a script (bundles can't take URL arguments), `<data>/links/*.link` + `gui.alive` heartbeat; Settings → Install links (`links.framedrop`/`links.frameport`); `ui/dropped.py`, `pipeline.add_windows_exe`, `device.display_mode`; demo link `deeplink.DEMO_MANIFEST`. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#install-links--framedrop-button-protocol
**Install link updates:** manifest `version` → library `link.version`; `pipeline.check_link_updates` (GUI start, 6 h, setting `links.check_updates` = Settings → Updates → Games) marks `link_update` → Library bar / game page → `link_dialog.update_from_link`; CLI `frameport link-updates`; the demo link is never checked. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#install-links--framedrop-button-protocol

- **The repo is public: never commit personal data** — the Frame's IP address, the Steam user id, the owner's email,
local home paths (native builds use `-ffile-prefix-map`). History was rewritten once to remove them.
## GitHub triage (issues / discussions / PRs)
GitHub identity + credentials are maintainer-local (`CLAUDE.local.md`): check `gh api user --jq .login` before any
GitHub write. **The owner approves before posting, labelling or closing anything.** Reply style: "I"/neutral, never
we/our/us; never mention agent version numbers or internal tool versions; show the owner every draft in full with a
short recap of the thread so far; read **all** comments on a thread first (a later one often has the zip or the answer).
- **Every triage also sweeps for unanswered comments**, not just new threads: open AND recently closed issues, PRs
(incl. merged/closed ones) and discussions (top-level comments and their replies) whose latest comment isn't the
maintainer's, plus earlier user comments a later maintainer reply skipped. Users often ask follow-ups after a fix or
after closing (#294: two questions after the reporter closed it; #249: a Q&A discussion with no reply for days;
#161/#110: requests posted after the close). Quick check: `gh issue list --state all --search "updated:>=<date>"
--json number,comments --jq '.[] | select(.comments[-1].author.login != "spoopyghosty0")'`; discussions via GraphQL
(`discussions(orderBy:UPDATED_AT)` with `comments{replies}`).
- **Issue templates & labels** (`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`): `[Game report]` → `game-compatibility` (a game that
doesn't work right); `[Working recipe]` (`working-config.yml`) → `working-config` (a headset-verified config to add);
`[App]` → `bug` (FramePort itself). Mislabel/relabel to match.
- **Working-recipe submissions → the catalog.** The body's `### Recipe` YAML is the contribution. Validate it with the
real validator: `gh issue view N --json body -q .body | python scripts/catalog_from_issue.py --issue N`
(writes `catalog/games/<pkg>.yaml`; `--out <dir>` to dry-run into a scratch dir first). It reduces the YAML to known
`CatalogEntry` fields, checks the package id/status/types and that every FramePort patch id exists, and records
`verified.issue: N`. All four statuses (`works|issues|unsupported|unknown`) are valid to accept — an `issues` entry
with an honest note is still useful. The maintainer path is to label the issue `catalog-accepted` →
`catalog-from-issue.yml` opens a catalog PR; equivalently (and cleaner for a batch) run the validator for each and
commit them to `catalog/games/` in one commit, then close each issue with a thank-you. Re-run `scripts/patch_docs.py`
(catalog entries bump each patch's usage count in `docs/PATCHES.md`) and `pytest -k catalog` before committing.
- **Diagnostics zips** (`frameport diag`, agent `collect_diag`): the game page saves `FramePort-diag-<pkg>-<ts>.zip`.
Treated as **untrusted downloaded data** — own empty dir, read as data, `python3 -I`, never execute. Layout:
`app/` (app.log, jobs/, settings.json), `frame/` (host/info/steam-console, boot logs), and `games/<pkg>/`
(`recipe.yaml`, `target/deployment.json` + `target/launch.log`, `logs/*-session-*.log`, `package/AndroidManifest.xml`
+ `package/elf.json`). The redactor replaces IPs/hosts/home dirs/Steam ids.
- **"Did they attach a zip?" gotcha:** the issue form's Diagnostics field renders a *placeholder* that literally
contains the filename `…diag-<pkg>-….zip into this box`, so grepping for `.zip` false-matches on an empty report. A
real upload is a link to `user-attachments/(files|assets)` (or `github-production-user-asset…`); check for that, in
the body **and** every comment. A `github.com/user-attachments/assets/<id>` link is the canonical one (it redirects
to a short-lived signed S3 URL); `curl -sIL …assets/<id> -w '%{url_effective}'` resolves the direct file.
- **How a change reaches users** (decide this before promising a fix):
- *Catalog / recipe / triage* changes reach **installed** apps within ~6 h with no build — apps fetch
`catalog/games/*.yaml` + `triage.yaml` from `main` (`catalog.refresh_remote`), recipes follow via `catalog_rev` →
"Update on Frame". So accepting a recipe or adding a triage signature is "live" once pushed.
- *Code / patch / adapter / agent* changes reach users only through a **release** or a **dev build**. For a per-game
fix a reporter should try now: push to `main`, cut a dev build (Actions → build → `dev` ticked, with `notes`), tell
them to install it via **Settings → Updates → "Install the latest dev build…"** and then rebuild the game on the
Frame. Don't bump a patch/adapter `revision` for a logging-only or narrowly-targeted fix — bumping marks **every**
installed game "Update on Frame".
- **Verifying a device fix without the headset:** many runtime failures (e.g. an `xrEndFrame` layer rejection) reproduce
in a **headless** launch test on the dev Frame, so the fix can be developed and confirmed at the frame-acceptance
level there; only the *visual* result needs the headset (hand the built dev build to the reporter, or the owner, for
that). `frameport settings <pkg> <key>=<value>` toggles adapter settings (e.g. `layer_debug=1`) live, no rebuild.
To reproduce a reporter's exact build, grab their APK from its upstream source (e.g. the linked GitHub release), scan
→ build → install → test in an isolated `FRAMEPORT_HOME` (see "Dev commands" / the Frame-busy rules).

# Announcements
`current.md` is the one announcement FramePort shows as a pop-up in the app. Edit it on `main`: the app reads it
from GitHub `main` (raw.githubusercontent.com) at most every 6 hours, so a push reaches everyone without a release.
## Who sees it
- **Only people who already used FramePort before the announcement's `date`.** A new install never shows one, and
nor does an announcement published before FramePort was installed.
- **Once.** Closing it in any way (the X, a click outside it, Escape, or its button) dismisses it for good. The app
remembers dismissals in its settings (`announce.dismissed`).
- **A new announcement = a new `id`.** Fixing a typo with the same `id` doesn't show it again to anyone who closed it.
A new `id` shows to everyone who used FramePort before its `date`, whether they closed the earlier one or not.
## The file

---
The body, in Markdown: **bold**, *italic*, `code`, [links](https://frameport.app/), lists, headings.
```
The body is Markdown (no HTML). A `date` in the future works as a schedule: nobody sees it before then.
Images look best at about 2:1 (e.g. 1200×600). The pop-up is 600 px wide and shows between 140 and 320 px of the
picture's height.
`pytest tests/test_announcements.py` checks this file, so a broken announcement fails CI instead of silently showing
nothing.
To turn announcements off for testing: `FRAMEPORT_NO_ANNOUNCEMENTS=1`.

title: Scared By Squares
status: unknown
notes: 'Showed black and dropped back to the home environment while the game kept running (sound only, GitHub 323).
Fixed in FramePort 1.2.1 and checked on the Frame without the headset (the game runs at 72 fps and SteamVR keeps it
as the running game); not yet confirmed in the headset. Rebuild and reinstall the game after updating FramePort.'
details: 'The game (Unreal 4.27, OpenXR) creates two controller actions named "turn" (an action mapping and an axis
mapping called Turn). The Frame''s runtime accepts the duplicate, then fails to load the input manifest it builds
from the actions ("SetXrInputConfig failed. Failed to load manifest") and treats the game as closed. FrameBridge''s
action_dedup (on by default) creates the second one as "turn_2".'

notes: 32-bit only (armeabi-v7a), runs through FramePort's 32-bit bridge (experimental). Both controllers work as
Touch controllers. The first start shows a one-time "optimizing" screen (a bit jittery) and then starts the game
again by itself.
details: 'Unreal Engine 4 NativeActivity with OVRPlugin + VrApi, GLES, OBB. The bridge needed AAsset_getBuffer
(copied into guest memory), AKeyEvent_getFlags and the remaining AConfiguration getters. A Santa Cruz (early
Quest) build: it requires 6DoF head tracking, so the bridge passes both Frame controllers through as Touch
controllers (assets/fp_a32_headset.txt) instead of the Gear VR remote. Unreal restarts the app after its
first-run shader precompile; the launcher starts Lepton again for it (agent 86). Plays in the headset (owner,

before changing one instruction each; unrecognized engine builds are left unchanged.
A fragment shader (module 16800_8dbab031..., as Zink compiles it) reads 12 int loop counters/accumulators before
setting them and hangs the GPU (kernel hangcheck) at a loading screen, the same bug as Vader Immortal's lightspeed

Lepton 3.0.5, so a Frame update that changes Zink's output stops it matching (the layer logs that).

pattern: '(?i)entitlement check failed|\bnot entitled to (use|play)|ovrPlatformInitialize_(NotEntitled|UnableToVerify|FileInvalid|SignatureInvalid)'

diagnosis: The game's Meta licence check (entitlement) failed. It needs Meta's online login and licence check,

doesn't get around such checks.

diagnosis: A Meta platform request made by the game failed (it needs Meta's online services, which the Frame

some games have a per-game fix that skips the call. A problem report with diagnostics shows which call it is.

pattern: 'DisplayErrorAndExit: Failed to launch SystemActivities'

diagnosis: The game's own Meta platform library tried to open Meta's system screens (Horizon OS), which the

Daydream needs Google's VR services (VrCore) and Cardboard draws for a phone in a viewer; FramePort has no translation for either, so the game runs as a flat window at best, usually without working controls. An Oculus build of the same game (Meta Quest, Oculus Go or Gear VR) goes through FramePort's normal path.

# Device notes
Detailed device findings per game and issue, moved verbatim from CLAUDE.md (which keeps a one-line pointer
with the key fact and the patch/setting names for each). Read the matching section before debugging a game;
general runtime facts are in docs/FRAME_RUNTIME.md and symptom → fix rows in docs/PLAYBOOK.md.
## a32 bridge: games, lessons, debugging aids, profiling
Learned: Unity 2019 contexts
have no EGLConfig (EGL_KHR_no_config_context: the VrApi bridge takes the window's or an RGBA8 ES3 config); Unity's
floor origin = vrapi_SetTrackingSpace(1) (the VrApi bridge now honours LOCAL_FLOOR/STAGE); mapped GL buffers are
per buffer object (a per-target guest copy leaked ~10 MB/s and garbled vertices); the guest runtime's own scudo
names its maps `[anon:scudo:*]` below 4 GiB (watch them for guest leaks). The Go controller = the right Frame
controller (stick = touchpad touch, sideways > 0.6 or press = click). Gunjack (CCP, UE 4.10 NativeActivity, Gear VR,
2026-10-10): needed the native_app_glue imports (ALooper/AInputQueue/AConfiguration/AAsset*, imports.txt), an arm64
libvrapi.so for Java's System.loadLibrary("vrapi") and MOUNTED under OVP_HEADLESS_TEST; it then loads its map and
quit on purpose: AndroidMain compares AndroidThunkCpp_GetSignature() with an obfuscated copy. **Works since
2026-10-11 (owner-verified in the headset):** GameActivity.AndroidThunkJava_GetSignature() = Base64.DEFAULT(SHA-1(
signing certificate DER)) (jadx); `a32_bridge.original_signature` computes it from the original APK's
META-INF/*.RSA|DSA|EC, `convert()` stores it as `assets/fp_a32_signature.txt` for libUE4.so games, the bridge loads
it at activity creation (native_activity.c) and jni.c answers Call*Method on the method ID of
`AndroidThunkJava_GetSignature()Ljava/lang/String;` with it. After loading, Unreal leaves VR mode and enters it again on
the same GL context; a second OpenXR session there aborted in vrclient (CSharedSemaphoreLinux::WaitFromGPU from the GL
binding's PreBeginFrame, also with OVP_HEADLESS_TEST) → the VrApi bridge keeps a running GLES session across
LeaveVrMode and reuses it for an EnterVrMode with the same context (upstream-patches/runtime.cpp.patch).
Debugging aids added: A32_BREAK=<guest addr>[,..] (stack of the first hits; guest libs load at fixed addresses, e.g.
libUE4 0xf25d5000), A32_STRACE in bridge mode = path/exit calls to logcat, activity lifecycle + LeaveVrMode caller
logs. Lepton's logcat mirror often dies for these games: read `podman exec <container> logcat` instead. Gunjack input
(2026-10-11): it imports no vrapi input functions and reads the Gear VR touchpad/back as AInputEvents from its
AInputQueue (native_app_glue), so dispatchKeyEvent never reached it (no control at all) → input.c queues synthetic
events there (ALooper_poll* return the queue's ident while one waits; AInputQueue_getEvent/finishEvent and the
AInputEvent/AKeyEvent/AMotionEvent getters are hand-written "!" imports that know them; touch positions scaled to the
window size). Same mapping as AFFECTED: trigger = hold touchpad, A = tap, right stick = swipe, B = back; for NativeActivity games the stick's up/down = swipe forward/back (touchpad X: Gunjack's OnFlick = reload at ~0°, special weapon at ~180°). Not yet
headset-verified. Quest builds on the bridge (2026-10-13, Sports Scramble = a 32-bit Santa Cruz build,
UE 4.21 + OVRPlugin on VrApi 1.21): manifest requires `android.hardware.vr.headtracking` version 1
(`detect.requires_6dof`, headset "quest", ANALYSIS_VERSION 16) → convert writes `assets/fp_a32_headset.txt`
= "quest" → vrapi.c `quest_touch` (read in vrapi_Initialize via the activity's AssetManager; A32_TOUCH=1/0
overrides) passes the 64-bit bridge's Touch controllers through (enumerate/caps/state/tracking/haptics, struct
tails per VrApi minor) and starts no synthetic input. It also needed AAsset_getBuffer (guest copy, freed in
AAsset_close), AKeyEvent_getFlags and the other AConfiguration getters. Headset (owner, 2026-10-13): plays,
both controllers work. Recenter (holding the Frame's menu button) turned VrApi games ~90-120 degrees aside: the bridge's app space is LOCAL + the start yaw and the runtime moves LOCAL to the head → the bridge now takes the origin from the head again on XR_TYPE_EVENT_DATA_REFERENCE_SPACE_CHANGE_PENDING (LOCAL) and on vrapi_RecenterPose (owner-verified with Gunjack, 2026-10-13). Next: the other 32-bit catalog games (Journey of the Gods, Shadow Point: still "unsupported" until
tested), translator speed. Profiled on the Frame
(2026-10-12, `A32_PERFMAP` + perf): FPCR switches are negligible (8 of 86k samples); the cost was the run loop
(a mutex + hash-chain walk on every dispatch, a contended counter, inline-lookup slots never refilled: Gunjack
~45 % of its CPU) and `jit_invalidate` scanning every block on each Mono `cacheflush` (72 % of Spunky Dungeon's
main thread). Now lock-free lookups, ltab refill, per-thread flags, per-page block lists: Gunjack's dispatcher
23.6 % -> 1.6 %, CPU in the same phase about -55 %, still 72 fps.
## Upload speed
**Upload speed (measured 2026-09-29):** via the home router (PC Wi-Fi → router → Frame wlan0) only 15-18 MB/s, the
same for paramiko, OpenSSH and 4 parallel streams, so the network path is the limit, not the SSH code. Direct to the
Frame's hotspot (`wlanap` 10.35.78.1; the owner's PC has Valve's USB Wi-Fi dongle on it) 83 MB/s OpenSSH / 97 MB/s
paramiko; reading dumps from D: via WSL drvfs is then the cap (~82 MB/s). `Frame.fast_link()` (installer
`transfer_link`, uploads ≥64 MiB) uses usb0 > wlanap when reachable **and** the host key matches the paired Frame.
## Revive under Proton arm64 (Lone Echo)
**Revive under Proton arm64 (Lone Echo, 2026-09-29):** Revive's Detours hooks (LoadLibraryW/ExW, OpenEventW, the
signature check) don't take effect: Wine's kernelbase is ARM64EC. The LibOVR shim in the game then does a plain
`LoadLibrary("LibOVRRT64_1.dll")` search (exe dir, cwd, system32, windows, PATH — no registry, `OculusBase` or
`LIBOVR_DLL_DIR` used by this build) → `Failed to initialize Oculus API (-3001)` (= Lies Beneath's "Unable to load
LibOVRRT DLL"). A symlink `pfx/drive_c/windows/system32/LibOVRRT64_1.dll -> <base>/revive/LibReviveXR64.dll` (Wine
maps a symlink to the already-loaded module) gets past it to **-3021 = ovrError_LibSignCheck**: the shim only accepts
an Oculus-signed runtime. Next step (not done): make the runtime check pass without Detours, e.g. an injected helper
that patches the game's import table (IAT) for LoadLibrary*/WinVerifyTrust, or a prefix-level override. This is
runtime interop (what Revive does), not the Platform SDK licence check (which FramePort never touches).
Uninstall (Quest, saves kept) used to leave `deployment.json` → still "installed"; fixed (agent v16).
## OVRPort 1.2.5
**OVRPort 1.2.5 (2026-10-01, the fork's first release; CLI-only):** same commands (`patches [--json]`, `patch`, `help`,
`install`), but `patch` rejects unknown/duplicate args, unknown patch ids and an empty `--patches=`
(`tools/overport.patch` refuses empty lists). After patching it adds `libovrplatformcompat.so` itself when the platform
loader lacks `ovrMessageType_ToString` (our `frame.ovrplatformcompat` then skips: same library). New patches (all off;
`patches/overport.py`): `patch_ac_nexus_no_appsw_72/_90` (AC Nexus build 207706 only, exclusive),
`patch_disable_meta_xr_audio_telemetry` (x86_64 emulators: hidden), `patch_vrapi_openxr` = OVRPort's VrApi adapter =
the **unpatched** upstream of our `frame.vrapi_bridge` (`native/vrapi` unchanged since our 5e7df52), only usable with an
experimental CLI built with `-PwithVrApi=true` (stable jars list it but fail). The owner prefers OVRPort's fixes over
ours where they work as well (less to maintain): compare in the headset before switching a default.
`frameport install <pkg> --apk <file>` installs a specific (test) build signed with the game's key.
Headset results (2026-10-02, `PATCHED/_test-ovrport-1.2.5/TESTING.md`): OVRPort's own VrApi translator fails on the
Frame (Climb 2: requests VkFormat 37 → crash; POTW: no GLES path, missing `vrapi_GetTextureSwapChainHandle`) → keep
`frame.vrapi_bridge`; those two changes are upstream candidates. 1.2.5 builds (its platform compat, new permissions)
work. AC Nexus: `patch_ac_nexus_no_appsw_90` is the catalog default (owner preferred 90 Hz); `STRICT` patches are only
taken from a catalog recipe where `applies()` holds (the AC Nexus ones need build MAIN.450412.207706.final, else the
whole overport run fails).
## Steam Frame controller models
**Steam Frame controller models (2026-09-30, not yet seen in a game):** adapter setting `controller_models`
(`native/adapter/render_model.c`) emulates XR_FB_render_model and serves `files/framebridge/controller_{left,right}.glb`;
agent v20 (`install_controller_models`, command `controller_models`) converts the Frame's SteamVR render models
(folder name matching "frame" + left/right, OBJ+PNG, `openxr_grip` component → grip space) at finalize/set_settings.
Valve's models are never committed or copied off the Frame. Only games that use Meta's runtime controller models
benefit (manifest `RENDER_MODEL` permission/feature → suggested); **none of the 34 catalog games do** (they ship their
own meshes: that would need per-game asset replacement). Model discovery and conversion
checked on the device 2026-09-30: `/opt/steamvr/drivers/frame_controller/resources/rendermodels/frame_controller_{left,right}`
(component OBJs in model space = the whole `<name>.obj`, one `_color.png` 2048² near-black, `openxr_grip` rotates about
X only; hidden-by-default components like `status` are skipped) → ~2 MB glb each, ~1 s. Not yet seen in a game (none
of the installed builds has the new adapter, and none requests runtime models), so whether Meta's SDK attaches runtime models at the grip pose is unverified.
## Crash backtraces, Fossilize, swapchain limit, cylinder and equirect layers
**Crash backtraces (2026-09-30):** Lepton writes tombstones only to `lepton-logcats/steamlaunch-<appid>/logcat-crash.log` (after "Dumping logcat"), not launch.log; agent v23 launch tests wait for it and return `crash_log`, triage gets it via `triage(..., crash=)` (not pid-filtered: tombstones come from crash_dump's pid). The guest is `userdebug` (`ro.debuggable=1`), so Lepton's Fossilize layer loads into every app whatever the APK's debuggable flag; it has no off switch. Fossilize crashed Deadpool VR on uninitialized attachment-reference pNexts (several, in FVulkanRenderPass and the render-target layout) → `frame.vk_sanitize` = `native/vkshim` (engine's `dlopen("libvulkan.so")` string → `libfp_vk.so`, wraps vkCreateRenderPass2/KHR, drops unreadable/wrong-sType pNexts; verified: game runs). overport's dispatcher aborts on swapchains > 4096 px (`cmp wN,#4096` in xrCreateSwapchain) → `frame.swapchain_limit` (verified with 4XVR, 7680×3840 accepted by the runtime). Both are default-on (parity classifies their rewrites as
"expected"; library migration `quest_binary_fixes_v2`). The adapter shows cylinder layers (4XVR's movie screen) as ~15° quad strips (`cylinder_strips`, setting
`cylinder_strips`); the runtime composites them at full resolution. Equirect (360°) layers are dropped: drawing
them ourselves (GLES renderer in xrEndFrame: stutter, never showed 4XVR's VR video; Vulkan renderer: hung the
Frame's GPU in AC Nexus; reading the newest *released* image broke 4XVR's theatre) was removed again on the owner's
request — don't retry without a new approach. Converted layers must count as "swapped" or the original layer list
is submitted (runtime returns -2 for every frame). A focus debounce (hiding the Frame's brief
FOCUSED→VISIBLE→SYNCHRONIZED dips, which make 4XVR recenter) was also removed: AC Nexus stayed black with it (it
hid 521 ms focus changes at start). The new approach (below) is per-game, off the app's render thread, GLES-only.
## 360° layers / 4XVR
**360° layers / 4XVR (2026-09-30):** the Frame's Android SteamVR runtime (`/opt/steamvr/bin/androidarm64/vrclient.so`,
mounted in Lepton as `/data/steamvr/runtime`) only composites quad + projection layers (cube/cylinder/equirect(2)
are enum names only) — nothing to unlock. Per-game adapter settings (off by default, hooks installed only when on):
`equirect_emul` (GLES only: a worker thread with a shared EGL context converts each 360° image to a cube map when it
changes and draws one adapter projection layer from it for every frame with exactly that frame's views (the app's own
projection views, else xrLocateViews at displayTime); xrEndFrame waits ≤6 ms for the worker's CPU submit, never the
GPU. Learned in the headset: quads can't be a background (the Frame draws quad layers above all projection layers
whatever the order: hid 4XVR's balcony/controllers), and the Frame doesn't reproject a projection layer from its own
pose (images drawn only after head turns, or ahead from xrWaitFrame and sometimes late, wobbled);
`equirect_flip/face/res/fps/stereo`), `stable_local`, `focus_hold` (only after 3 s FOCUSED, dips <600 ms),
`aim_pitch/aim_yaw/aim_forward`, `refresh_rate`, `layer_debug` (diagnostics); focus_hold is default-on since 2026-10-05. 4XVR re-creates LOCAL spaces every 2–4 s
(menu recentring suspect); its theatres are baked 7680×3840 equirect2 images (`assets/100.png` …). Test 360° videos
(NASA, public domain) are in the Frame's ~/Videos; copies in `~/Downloads/frameport-360`. 4XVR's "Internal Storage"
lists its own `/sdcard/4XPlayer`, not Movies: agent v25 `link_media` hard-links sent files into an app's own top-level
folder (`app_media_dirs`), `frameport frame send --app <pkg>`, GUI game page "Add videos" (players) / "Add videos &
files…". A 4XVR webm stereo swapchain was refused with XR_ERROR_LIMIT_REACHED (-10) → right eye grey; our projection
swapchain was halved (1536/eye) in case memory is the limit (unverified). Frame data snapshot
(SteamVR runtimes, Lepton scripts, logs; never commit Valve binaries): `~/frameport-research/frame-data-2026-09-30/`.
Not yet verified in the headset.
## Companion apps / intents (Stremio + 4XVR)
**Companion apps / intents (2026-10-03, tested with Stremio + 4XVR):** a second APK can be installed into a running
Lepton container (`podman exec -i lepton-steamlaunch-<appid> pm install -g -S <size> < apk`) and runs there, VR
included (4XVR in Stremio's flatscreen container: FrameBridge 72 fps, settings via LEPTON_ENV_FRAMEBRIDGE_CONFIG). But
Lepton's services.jar (`ActivityStarter.execute`) intercepts **every** `android.intent.action.VIEW` with data (any
scheme, explicit component or not, no property to disable): it writes `steam://openurl/<uri>` to `/lepton/steam.pipe`
(= the host Steam client's `~/.steam/steam.pipe`) and starts nothing. So "open in external player" hand-offs (Stremio
→ 4XVR) can't work inside Lepton; don't retry without Valve changing it. Lepton installs exactly one `*.apk` per app
folder (two break `get_apk_path`).
## Text input (Stremio VR)
**Text input (2026-10-03, verified in the headset with Stremio VR):** Lepton's Android has no IME (`ime list` empty)
and runs VR apps headless (`lepton.headless=true`): no Android window has input focus (`dumpsys input` FocusedWindows
empty), so neither `input text`, a USB keyboard nor Steam's keyboard reach the app. `lepton-show-flatscreen` on a VR
app keeps VR working (FrameBridge 72 fps) and gives the window focus; Steam's on-screen keyboard then opens for text
fields. Unity's TMP_InputField on non-Quest Android waits for the system keyboard (`TouchScreenKeyboardShouldBeUsed`)
and deselects a frame later unless `isKeyboardUsingEvents` (Android: `InPlaceEditing() && m_HideSoftKeyboard`);
uGUI InputField's LateUpdate keeps the field when `InPlaceEditing()`. Patch `frame.unity_text_input` rewrites them
(`mov w0,#0|#1; ret`) at Cpp2IL's **Offset** (= file offset; RVA differs by 0x4000 in Stremio's lib), Cpp2IL
2022.1 pre-release (Unity 6 / metadata v31; Il2CppDumper can't), cached per libil2cpp sha. `/dev/uinput` has an ACL
for steamos (Steam Input) → agent v33 `_keyboard` uinput keyboard ("Type on Frame") reaches everything with focus.
Installing a second APK into a container with `pm install` re-runs Lepton's post-install hook on the **main** app
(`lepton.active_app_id`; moves its files to /data/steam_app) and corrupts it on the next start (fix: touch the APK →
re-bake); `cmd_real package install` skips the hook.
## User reports 2026-10-04 (issues #4-#10)
**User reports (2026-10-04, issues #4-#10):** Steam shortcuts go to the signed-in account (`loginusers.vdf`
MostRecent) else every account (agent v35 `library_users`; it used to refuse with >1 account → Play gave Steam's "Game
configuration unavailable"); `launch` uses the shortcut's own appid and errors `NOT_IN_LIBRARY`, the app then adds it
and plays. Unity IL2CPP fixes share one Cpp2IL run (`unity_text_input.Il2cppReturnPatch`, `ALL_TARGETS`, cache keyed by
global-metadata.dat): `frame.unity_runtime_msaa_off` (OVRManager raises MSAA to 4x at runtime: "Switching to the
recommended level" → Lucky's Tale restarted the headset; `OVRDisplay.get_recommendedMSAALevel` → 0) and
`frame.unity_multipass` (Oculus XR Plugin multiview → MultiPass via `OculusSettings.GetStereoRenderingMode`; I Am Cat's
right eye grey). Both checked against Toy Master's Cpp2IL output, not yet in a headset. VR4 quits itself (System.exit
after the intro movie) → catalog `use_alt`. **Catalog changes reach existing games** without hardcoded migrations:
recipes store `catalog_rev` (= `CatalogEntry.rev()`), `library._follow_catalog` re-derives non-user recipes whose entry
changed; a maintained entry beats the user's shared copy when its `updated`/verified date is later (`catalog._newer`).
## Round 2 of reports, headset rounds 2-3 (2026-10-04)
**Round 2 of reports (2026-10-04):** VR4's campaign hang = one fragment shader reading an uninitialized loop counter
(reporter's capture): vkshim `vk_shader_fix` setting (`<size>:<sha256>:<offset>:<words>`, from the recipe's `adapter:`;
matched by size + SHA-256, words inserted into a copy) — on the device the module is fixed at load ("fixed shader
module (6488 -> 6512 bytes)"); campaign itself not yet seen in a headset by us. Text settings (kind "str") stay out of
the Game settings dialog (saving it dropped them). I Am Cat: `GetStereoRenderingMode` is inlined (no call sites) →
`Il2cppReturnPatch.field_loads` rewrites the field read in `OculusLoader.Initialize` (Cpp2IL gives the field offset,
`field:<name>`); verified with Toy Master: eye swapchains array=1 ×2 instead of array=2. Builds record `recipe_fp`
(`patches/base.recipe_fingerprint`, `Patch.revision`): a changed recipe or revised patch shows "Update on Frame".
Remembered Frames are found again after an address change (`Frame.relocate`: scan, same SSH host key, before
login). Packaged apps show artwork by file path (`thumbs.use_file_paths`, #16). Diagnostics: this boot's kernel log.
Device tests of requested games (2026-10-04, headless): I Am Cat, Myst 3.3.0, BattleGlide, Blade & Sorcery: Nomad
start (RUNNING, frames). Roblox: SIGSEGV in je_free from libroblox.so ~3 s in (likely its anti-tamper vs the re-signed
APK). BONELAB (Unity 2021.3 Vulkan, OVRPlugin 1.94): SIGSEGV with pc == fault addr in vkCreateInstance, called from
libSLZQuestNative.so's Vulkan hooks into an unmapped (unloaded) library right after OVRPlugin's pre-init
xrDestroyInstance; pinning openxr/vrclient libraries (RTLD_NODELETE) did NOT help — find the unloaded library with the
linker's dlopen/dlclose logging next. Accounting+ (Unity 2017.4 built-in Oculus, libOVRPlugin + libvrapi): Unity
never starts VR on the Frame (no OVRPlugin/OpenXR lines; runs as a 2D app), which is why its "controller setup"
screen can't be passed — Unity 2017's Oculus device check, not the controller profiles. Cpp2IL can't read Unity 2017.
The Frame's Android runtime (vrclient.so) knows oculus/touch_controller but not Meta's Touch Plus/Pro profiles
(OVRPlugin suggests those too, routinely) → adapter `profile_remap`.
Headset round 2 (2026-10-04): the Frame drops focus often (ms to 7 s; only some are presence/standby) → games pause
or recentre (B&S Player.OnVRPresence → Teleport, BattleGlide/Unreal pauses); focus_hold now 1 s focused / 1 s max dip
(longer must still pause). Myst crash = vrclient xrSyncActions race after FOCUSED → `sync_guard` (confirmed); its
object glitches: app space warp suspected (FB_space_warp is advertised and used) → recipe `patch_disable_space_warp`.
I Am Cat multipass: poses/times consistent, but every frame is submitted after the next xrWaitFrame (one period late;
Zink + doubled draws) and the game clamps its physics step to 10 ms → judder while still; testing scale 0.8. Roblox's
newest crash is on Fossilize's recording thread → vk_sanitize extended to own-engine libs (engine "Other").
Accounting+: unity_oculus_check + native/ovrpshim (libfp_ovrp.so waits via ovrp_WaitToBeginFrame before Unity
2017's ovrp_Update2) → VR in the headset at ~72 fps (2026-10-04), but stuck at "press any button" although input
reaches its OVRInput cleanly (probe: both Touch connected 0x63, individual buttons, input focus 1) → works with issues.
"outside of frame bounds" warnings stay (~2/frame) and are harmless.
Steam library (GitHub #4/#21/#27, agent v38): shortcuts go to every Steam account (signed-in first; MostRecent isn't
always the account on the Frame); stop_steam also waits for Steam's helpers; after the restart the agent re-reads
shortcuts.vdf and writes once more if Steam put its old copy back (`shortcuts_lost`); lost again (agent v89): Steam
ignores FramePort's entries on that Frame, so `add_devkit_entry` adds the devkit entry instead (`added` gets `via:
devkit`) and only reports an error if that fails too. 0.6.3's Play
auto-repair (`_add_then_play`) crashed (its job got a Job, not a reporter). Uploads resume on a transient OSError.
Lepton's Android 11 has no clipboard service (134 services; checked with `podman exec … service check clipboard`):
SDL/LÖVE apps crashed at start → `frame.sdl_clipboard` (`apk/dex.py`: in-place dex edit, nops one invoke, fixes
the header checksum/signature; verified with LÖVE for Android 11.5, GitHub #24 Dramatic Shape). Godot 4.2-4.4 (Kotlin `as ClipboardManager`,
GitHub #134 EndoparasiticVR) → `frame.godot_clipboard` (nops the `Intrinsics.checkNotNull` before that check-cast; Godot's
clipboard methods return at once; analysis `godot_clipboard`, ANALYSIS_VERSION 10; checked on real godot-lib/templates
4.2.2-4.4.1, not on the device; 4.1 and 4.5+ don't throw). 2D apps (vr_kind none)
keep every suggested patch that isn't about VR (`needs_vr = False`), not a fixed list. FramePort on the Frame:
`frame/local.py` (127.0.0.1, own key authorized; "This Frame (experimental)"; app data in
~/.local/share/frameport-app because ~/.local/share/frameport is the agent's) and Steam library changes wait while
Desktop Mode is open. Verified on the device 2026-10-04 (install + launch test from the Frame). Library updates on the
Frame run one at a time (agent v40 flock): two quick uninstalls used to bring a removed shortcut back (Roblox).
Headset round 3 (owner's verdicts, 2026-10-04): Blade & Sorcery works — its freezes were the headset's wear sensor
flickering off while worn (vrserver.txt "HMD off/on" 0.5-2 s) → per-game `focus_hold_ms=2500` (only this game reacts;
not a default). BattleGlide works (focus_hold). Myst works with issues (object glitches; space warp ruled out, its
recipe keeps it on). I Am Cat works with issues (judder; scale 0.8 no help). Roblox unsupported (je_free in
libroblox, also with the Vulkan shim). Installs skip the Steam restart when the shortcut is unchanged and wait while a
game runs (agent v37). New default fixes in FramePort's code reach games already in a library: after every app update
`library._follow_catalog` re-derives each non-user recipe once (setting `recipes.app_version`; tests switch it off via
`library.REFRESH_ON_UPDATE`). Analysis fields added later: **bump `analysis/detect.ANALYSIS_VERSION`** (stored as `analysis.extra.analysis_version`); older entries whose APK is still there are analysed again at the GUI's start (background thread, not a job: ~8 s per 900 MB APK) and before a build (`pipeline.refresh_analyses`, GitHub #104); only `analysis`/`suggested` change, user recipes stay; an unreadable APK gets `analysis_failed` = the version (not retried until the next bump). Troubleshooting techniques: docs/PLAYBOOK.md "Debugging techniques". Unity `boot.config` "vulkan" substring mislabels GLES games as Vulkan
(I Am Cat ran GLES); OVRPlugin's "Unavailable OpenXR extension: XR_FB_scene" is routine (no longer triaged).
## Round 4 (2026-10-04): surface swapchains, save-folder permissions
**Round 4 (2026-10-04):** XR_KHR_android_surface_swapchain is listed by the Frame's runtime but returns
FUNCTION_UNSUPPORTED → adapter `surface_emul` (default on, `native/adapter/surface_swapchain.c`): an ordinary runtime
swapchain is returned, the game gets a Surface from a SurfaceTexture on a worker thread (own EGL context, JavaVM from
XrInstanceCreateInfoAndroidKHR), frames are read back (glReadPixels) and uploaded in xrEndFrame (Vulkan: own command
buffer + fence per panel, never waits; GLES: glTexSubImage2D). I Am Monkey's intro works (owner-confirmed). SUPERHOT
(Quest) quit at start: its cloud save folder was mode 1700 and Lepton's app writes through the folder's group →
launch.sh `fix_perms` adds u+rwx,g+rwx (agent v41). Lucky's Tale: Unity's Loading.PreloadManager thread grows the
native heap ~1 GB/s until the OOM killer (Frame freezes); no fix. `perf` works as steamos (paranoid 2; ptrace_scope 1
blocks gdb/eu-stack/debuggerd) — see PLAYBOOK "Debugging techniques". QuestCraft downloads its JRE at first run into
`files/runtimes/JRE` (Pojlib Installer); on the Frame it was missing (unpacked by hand, unverified). WiiCompiled: its launcher shows
(lepton-show-flatscreen) but imports .wcgame files through Android's document picker (OPEN_DOCUMENT), which Lepton
lacks (ActivityNotFoundException) → imported by hand: libmain.so + game.json → internal files/game/<profile>,
DATA/ → external files/WiiCompiledOpenXRVR/DATA, MOD/ → .../RetroRewind6 (decompiled with jadx). Lepton has no
picker at all: a FramePort fix would be an injected picker activity. Generated cover/banner art used to suppress the
Steam placeholder set (no Steam art at all) → fixed in artwork/steam.py.
## Steam library failures and the devkit fallback (GitHub #21/#30/#41/#42)
**Steam library failures (GitHub #21/#30):** on some Frames Steam never loads FramePort's shortcuts.vdf entries (same SteamOS build and arm64 beta client as the dev Frame; IDs correct; file written before Steam starts): Play → console_log `GameAction [AppID <id>] … RequestingLicense → UpdatingAppInfo → LaunchApp failed with AppError_9` (= "Game configuration unavailable", Steam treats the id as a store app). Cause unknown; agent v42/43 diagnostics: `launch` returns `steam` (started / error + code / silent from console_log), `collect_diag` adds `steam_library` (real Steam dir, beta, Steam start vs vdf write time, entries per account, devkit games) + `steam-console.txt` (incl. Steam's `logs/shortcuts.previous.txt` if present; steamclient.so has "LoadShortcuts: rejecting attempt to load shortcuts: invalid account ID"). **Fallback (agent v43):** when Play gets AppError_9 the agent registers the game through Steam's devkit interface (what Valve's Devkit Management Tool does, MIT: `devkit-1 steam://devkit-1/<~/.steam/steam.token>/create-shortcut?response=<file>&gameid=<id>&directory=~/devkit-game` written to ~/.steam/steam.pipe; answer file / `.error`; `~/devkit-game/<id>/launch.sh` = link to the game's launch.sh, `<id>-argv.json` ["launch.sh"] (relative to the folder), `<id>-settings.json` {steam_play 0, compat_tool ""}). Steam adds it live (no restart), picks its own appid (read back from shortcuts.vdf by DevkitGameID), shows it as a normal non-Steam game named "Devkit Game: <id>" (OpenVR 0, but VR works: owner-verified 2026-10-04), art copied to grid/<appid>*. Ids: letter first, then letters/digits/_ only (spaces, '-', leading digit → "missing/invalid arguments"). Later Plays use the devkit entry; uninstall (`devkit_unregister`, `delete-shortcut` live) and purge remove it. Verified on the dev Frame: register/launch/unregister; the AppError_9 trigger itself only in unit tests. GitHub #42 (two Steam accounts, neither MostRecent): Steam rewrote the active account's shortcuts.vdf without FramePort's entries right after starting, and added the devkit entry live without saving it, so `devkit_appid` (vdf only) failed ("Steam added the devkit entry but didn't save it"); agent v55 `devkit_appid_from_log` reads Steam's `sanitize shortcut app id "~/devkit-game/<id>/launch.sh": replacing 0 with N` console line. GitHub #41 (one account): same Steam behaviour, and every install restarts Steam, which forgets the never-saved devkit entry. Agent v56: the log fallback reads only the current session's console_log.txt; Play re-registers a devkit entry that gets AppError_9; art updates also write the devkit entry's grid art (`copy_grid_art`). Open: why some Frames' Steam never loads or saves shortcuts.vdf (single account too).
## Exit game (GitHub #36)
**Exit game (GitHub #36, 2026-10-04):** `Apps.TerminateApp` (what Exit game calls; reachable for tests through Steam's CEF devtools on 127.0.0.1:8080, SharedJSContext, `Runtime.evaluate` — a stdlib websocket client is enough) closed both a normal shortcut and a devkit entry on the dev Frame within 1-3 s. SIGTERM to Steam's `reaper` alone left launch.sh + Lepton (setsid) + the container running (an earlier headset launch ran on for 87 min); SIGTERM to launch.sh cleans up in ~4 s. Agent v44: launch.sh's 2 s loop ends the game when its parent (the reaper) is gone; `upgrade_launchers` (from ensure_host_fixes) adds that to existing launchers in place. Which in-headset exit path fails is still unknown. Screenshots on the Frame: all under SteamVR's appid 250820 (`760/remote/250820/screenshots`, screenshots.vdf has creation time, no game).
## SteamVR dashboard at game start
**SteamVR dashboard at game start (2026-10-04):** the dashboard (Resume game / controller / VR options) was open whenever a FramePort game started (also over Lepton's 2D launcher). Steam's UI exposes `SteamClient.OpenVR.VROverlay.{IsDashboardVisible,HideDashboard,ShowDashboard}` (CEF devtools, `steam_js` in the agent). Agent v44: launch.sh starts `_dashboard_worker` (waits for FrameBridge's first `pacing:` line in launch.log, then hides a visible dashboard for 25 s, at most 3 times; log `<base>/dashboard.log`; opt out with env FRAMEPORT_KEEP_DASHBOARD=1). Verified on the dev Frame (dashboard shown → 4XVR launched via Steam → hidden ~5 s after the first frames); not yet seen in the headset. **Headset (ITR2, 2026-10-05): too late** — Steam shows its frame menu (`valve.steam.gamepadui.frame.menu`, vrwebhelper_systemui.txt `[PooledPopups] Showing`) ~0.3 s after the game's first submitted frame (FrameBridge `new layer:`), but the first `pacing:` summary comes ~8 s later; the owner had pressed Resume (`[HideDashboard] return_to_game`) before the worker looked. Agent v52: watches from the first `new layer:` line (incremental log reads, 0.5 s polls, 30 s window). Agent v59: watches 120 s and hides up to 10 times (the menu came back after 30 s in the owner's sessions). Agent v53: stops for good once the player opens the dashboard with the controller (`toggle_dashboard_action` in vrwebhelper_systemui.txt since the worker started): v52 closed it 60 ms after each press, and the game, paused for it, stayed paused.
## Space warp / ITR2
**Space warp / ITR2 (2026-10-04):** Into The Radius 2 (UE5, `libUnreal.so` + OVRPlugin, Vulkan) uses Application SpaceWarp (extra swapchains `376x376 format=97` motion vectors + `format=129` depth); #35 reports flickering textures. OVRPort's `patch_disable_space_warp` has no effect on UE5, and hiding XR_FB_space_warp in FrameBridge's enumerate doesn't reach the game either: **OVRPort's dispatcher offers/enables XR_FB_space_warp itself**. FrameBridge `hide_space_warp` (per game, off) hides it and strips `XrCompositionLayerSpaceWarpInfoFB` (1000171000) from the projection views (log `hide_space_warp: removed space warp info`); the game still renders its MV swapchains. Test build installed on the dev Frame; flicker not yet checked in a headset. Heuristic: UE5 + OVRPlugin shows it as an option (off). `equirect_emul` is suggested for Unreal games whose graphics API isn't detected ("GLES or unknown"); on Vulkan it switches itself off (Myst/Riven/ITR2): harmless, but Unreal Vulkan detection is a known gap.
## PR #34: Meta XR Audio metadata (Batman)
**PR #34 (merged 2026-10-04, Lucas-Mathieu):** `native/adapter/audio_metadata.h` patches Meta XR Audio Wwise (only build ID e1619e7f…, Batman: Arkham Shadow 1.4.1) so queued audio metadata isn't freed while the current audio frame references it (smoke-bomb crash). Verified headless: installs ("metadata reclamation follows …"), 72 fps; we added a once-per-second scan limit. Outside PRs: review source, rebuild `artifacts/` ourselves, merge locally (contributor's commit kept), push main.
## Heuristics eval (2026-10-04)
**Heuristics eval (2026-10-04):** `scripts/eval_heuristics.py "<VR CyberDeck Portable>"` → 19/44 recipes exact, 322/352 fields (most diffs: `frame.unity_text_input` suggested where older catalog recipes lack it; the rest are runtime-only findings: use_alt, vk_shader_fix, focus_hold, sync_guard, multipass). `PATCHED/` copies aren't scored (already converted).
## Proton default (stable vs Experimental)
**Proton default (agent v51, owner's choice 2026-10-05):** the newest **stable** ARM64 Proton is the default for PC VR games (`pick_proton`: asked-for name/alias, else newest installed stable, else any stable). Agent v49-50 defaulted to Experimental; the owner's headset A/B with Rick and Morty (Experimental 69 % reprojected frames, stable felt much smoother) reverted it. The game page's Customize shows `pcvr.proton_tool` as a dropdown (Stable (default) / Experimental = alias `proton-experimental`); `ensure_proton` installs a chosen one (it asks once more for the runtime Steam only names after Proton is installed; Experimental installed unattended on the device in 53 s). A PC VR launch test that fails on stable suggests Experimental (`pipeline.PROTON_TOOL`, `proton_alternative_worth_trying`, button "Try Proton Experimental and reinstall"). Remaining Rick and Morty stutter on head turns = the game rendering below the refresh rate (reprojection), not Proton.
## USB cable link
**USB cable link (verified 2026-10-05, cabled to the dev PC):** `usb0` is a USB **NCM** gadget (configfs g1: `ncm.usb0` + `ffs.adb`, Valve 28de:2460) set up by `usb-ncm-gadget@usb0.service`, which only runs with `ConditionPathExists=|/etc/systemd/system/adbd.service.d/steamos-devkit-enabled` = **Developer Mode only**. `usb-ncm-dnsmasq@usb0` serves DHCP with fixed `dhcp-host` entries: Frame 10.86.200.233, PC **10.86.200.234** (`frame/usb.py` FRAME_USB_IP/PC_USB_IP). Windows 11 binds its built-in "UsbNcm Host Device" (no driver); WSL mirrored sees eth 10.86.200.234. USB is high-speed (USB 2.0): upload 36.9 MB/s vs 11.3 MB/s home Wi-Fi. Frame→PC over the cable worked without a firewall change. `scripts/usb_autotest.py` (Windows via powershell.exe from WSL), `frameport frame usb-check`. Wizard "Set up with a USB cable" (`PairingServer(host=PC_USB_IP)`; the real bootstrap ran end to end over USB). Discovery dedupes by SSH host key and prefers USB > Frame hotspot > network (`discovery.dedupe`); a lost address is re-found by key (`Frame.relocate`, tested with a dead saved address).
## Start activity / QuestCraft / ITR2 pop-in
**Start activity / QuestCraft / ITR2 pop-in (2026-10-05):** WiiCompiled's VR part (`QuestActivity`, SDL, process `:game`) stays behind Lepton's flat window when the launcher is shown (`device.text_input_window`). `frame.start_activity` (opt-in; analysis `extra.vr_activity` = the original APK's activity with Meta's VR category when it isn't the launcher) gives that activity's filter LAUNCHER and every other LAUNCHER becomes INFO, per element (`axml.set_start_activity`); Lepton's own `apk-info-extractor --print-activity-name` (on the Frame under Lepton/liblepton/apk_extractor) then answers QuestActivity. **OVRPort gives every MAIN activity LAUNCHER + VR categories**, so the VR activity must come from the original APK's analysis, not the converted manifest. Lepton has no activity override (`APP_ACTIVITY` is reset when app_metadata.sh is sourced). QuestCraft reaches Minecraft 1.21.5 (Fabric, Vivecraft, Sodium; LTW "Large Thin Wrapper" GL 3.0 on the Frame's Zink) and stops at `OpenGL error 1282` in `WindowFramebuffer` createTexture (Minecraft's crash report in `files/instances/1.21.5/crash-reports/`, Pojlib's `files/latestlog.txt`); the vrclient SIGSEGV / "pthread_mutex_lock called on a destroyed mutex" afterwards is only the shutdown (Unity's render thread still in vrclient while the instance is destroyed). ITR2 "models popping in and out" in game: Unreal reads user config from **internal** storage (`lepton-data/internal/<pkg>/files/UnrealGame/<Project>/<Project>/Saved/Config/Android/Engine.ini`, not external); `r.AllowOcclusionQueries=0` there broke its menus (removed again). Vulkan shim `vk_query_slots` (two slots per occlusion query) never saw ITR2 create an occlusion query pool, and the run with it crashed (Unreal RenderThread SIGSEGV, caught by sentry-native: no tombstone; the backtrace is in `cache/sentry/*/.sentry-native/*.run/*.envelope` with module offsets) - left off. Next suspect: Unreal 5 mobile HZB occlusion reading depth stored with Valve's FDM injection layer; test = launcher `VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS=''` (Lepton then loads neither VALVE_rpo nor VALVE_fdm_injection, Fossilize still). QuestCraft: LTW overrides glGetError and returns 0 with `LIBGL_NOERROR` set; Lepton passes `LEPTON_ENV_<NAME>` to the app as `<NAME>`, so catalog `lepton_env: {LEPTON_ENV_LIBGL_NOERROR: '1'}` gets Minecraft past the GL error 1282; then black picture (see the catalog entry). FrameBridge logs `new layer` once per layer type per process and projection views only for the first frames, so a second session in the same process (Vivecraft after Unity) needs `layer_debug=1`.
## Vulkan validation / ITR2 solved
**Vulkan validation / ITR2 solved (2026-10-05):** Khronos' validation layer can't come from Lepton (its layer dir is in the read-only guest image; the Linux copies on the Frame are glibc) and a global `debug.vulkan.layers` property (via the LEPTON_GFXRECON_FP_PROPS trick) kills the container at boot. Working recipe: bundle `libVkLayer_khronos_validation.so` (Khronos android-binaries release, arm64-v8a, stored uncompressed) into a test APK re-signed with the game's key (`apk.sign.sign`), install with `frameport install <pkg> --apk`, and set the Vulkan shim's `vk_validation=1` (it adds the layer at vkCreateInstance; findings under the logcat tag VALIDATION in launch.log, each message ID capped at 10). ITR2's flicker + windows behind models = Unreal's Qualcomm shader-resolve subpasses with a depth resolve of a single-sampled depth attachment (VUID-04908/-03179); `vk_spec_fixes=1` drops that resolve (its TRANSFER_DST half never applies to ITR2: the main depth is transient). Valve's VALVE_rpo layer removed ITR2's fog (catalog `lepton_env: VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS: VK_LAYER_VALVE_fdm_injection`). `r.ViewDistanceScale=2` in the internal Saved/Config/Android/Engine.ini only exists on the owner's Frame (the catalog can't write internal storage yet). Launch tests: Lepton prints a transient "is not a running context" on the first start after an APK change (agent v54 `not_started` waits 30 s for "Boot complete!").
## GitHub #38/#39: PowerWash Simulator, The Room VR
**GitHub #38/#39 (2026-10-05):** PowerWash Simulator stuck at "Waiting.." on a reporter's Frame = Unity sized the right-eye image rect past its swapchain (rect 268+1656 on a 1920-wide swapchain; the runtime's recommended size differs per Frame) and SteamVR rejected every frame (`xrEndFrame failed -25`, XR_ERROR_SWAPCHAIN_RECT_INVALID), after which the game stopped calling xrEndFrame. FrameBridge `rect_clamp` (default on; sizes noted in xrCreateSwapchain; clamped layers count as swapped) keeps projection/quad rects inside their swapchain; triage `swapchain-rect-invalid`. Not reproducible on the dev Frame with `scale` (Unity's eye sizing isn't just the recommended width); no regression there (72 fps). The adapter's revision was NOT bumped (that would mark every installed game outdated): affected users rebuild. The Room VR (#38) = Unity's render thread SIGSEGV in libgallium_dri.so ~30 ms after the game recreates its eye swapchain with samples=4 (FrameBridge retries samples=1); the game's own code turns MSAA on (not OVRManager); candidate fix: hide GL_EXT_multisampled_render_to_texture (GL shim) - needs the APK to test. The launch test passed both (render thread dead / no frames): triage gap.
## Headset round 2026-10-05 (evening)
**Headset round 2026-10-05 (evening):** I Am Cat's judder = repeated xrLocateViews of one display time returning
slightly different poses → FrameBridge `pose_consistency` (owner-verified, works). Lucky's Tale freeze on touching a
save slot = OVRPort's OpenXR dispatcher converting XR_FB_haptic_amplitude_envelope with ns read as s (GitHub #9) →
xrshim `haptic_fix` (owner-verified); its remaining short pauses were the wear sensor ("HMD off/on" 0.5-1 s in
`logs/eyetracking.txt`, not vrserver.txt) → **`focus_hold` is on by default with 5 s** (owner's choice; C defaults
too). The Room VR works (`unity_no_overlay_copy`). BattleSisters (Unity 2019.4 built-in VR, no libOculusXRPlugin.so)
flooded "outside of frame bounds" ~2400/s and hung the GPU (kernel hangcheck, zink DEVICE LOST) → the ovrpshim frame
wait now also applies to Unity 2019 without the Oculus XR Plugin (`UnityOculusCheck.legacy_loop`). Vader Immortal
(UE4, stuck on the loading image after the intro, GitHub #49): VRP repacks carry a Frida gadget (`libfrda.so`,
config `hijack_responses`), but OVRPort's `patch_clean_up_frida` removes its loadLibrary call, so it never runs on
the Frame; `frame.ovr_trace` (opt-in, `native/ovrtrace`: 1138 exported ovr_* stubs → real loader functions, logcat
tag `fp_ovrtrace`: calls, PopMessage answers, unanswered requests every 10 s) is the next diagnostic.
## Unity built-in VR input (Accounting+, BattleSisters)
**Unity built-in VR input (2026-10-05):** probe builds (`FRAMEPORT_INPUT_PROBE=1 frameport build …`; it logs
trigger/grip crossings too) showed OVRPlugin returns the full Touch state for every controller mask (also Go masks);
presses reach the games' OVRInput. Accounting+ (Il2CppDumper v6.7.46 reads its Unity 2017 metadata v24, run on Windows)
passes stance selection (NewtonVR grip/trigger) but its motion warning waits for `Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0/1)`,
which Lepton never delivers (no focused Android window) → ovrpshim registers its own
`UnityEngine.Input::GetMouseButtonDown(System.Int32)` icall (il2cpp_add_internal_call, after Unity's: resolve first)
that adds a click in the frame a Touch trigger or A/B/X/Y is newly pressed (`unity_oculus_check` revision 3).
BattleSisters (Unity 2019 InputSystem/XR InputDevices via `VrHandInput`): libunity's Oculus module (OVRPlugin
function table: a global pointer at 0x16b57c0 in this build, slots filled by name, e.g. +0x160 GetControllerState,
+0x168 State2, +0xe8 GetNodePresent) only reports controllers when `strncmp(deviceModel, "Oculus", 6) == 0` (next to
the Go check `deviceModel == "Oculus Pacific"`); Lepton's model is "Valve Lepton" → Go/unknown → only Go masks polled,
buttons dead. `unity_oculus_check` revision 4 (`oculus_model_checks`, Unity 2019 only) turns the 17 compares' length
into 0 (`orr w2, wzr, #6` → `mov w2, #0` after the adrp/add of the "Oculus" literal; the string stays: it is also
Unity's VR device name). Device result: libunity now polls `ovrp_GetControllerState(0x3)` (Touch); owner-confirmed
2026-10-06: buttons work. Its first controller vibration then hit OVRPort's haptic-envelope bug (11 GB, OOM kill) →
`haptic_fix` is now suggested for every game with libOVRPlugin.so (settings detect), BattleSisters works. Ruled out before: ProductName, GetNodePresent, the device-model string itself, exports.
Accounting+ works (owner, 2026-10-06).
## Vader Immortal (headless investigation)
**Vader Immortal (UE4, GitHub #49, 2026-10-06, headless):** stuck after the intro on an in-game image (the splash
quad ends ~6 s in; then the game's own projection frames, 72 fps, balanced xrBeginFrame/xrEndFrame). Not the Platform
SDK (`frame.ovr_trace`: only user + entitlement, both answered) and not the repack's Frida gadget (OVRPort's
`patch_clean_up_frida` removes its loadLibrary). It **leaks ~430 GPU mappings (/dev/dri/renderD128) and ~20 MB a
second** (6.5 GB + swap after 5 min, then 26 fps): page-fault stacks (perf -e page-faults, offsets resolved with the
process maps + vrclient.so's own symbols; its text segment is at file offset + 0x4000) end in SteamVR's runtime:
`xrBeginFrame → CSxrCompositorOpenVR::BeginFrame → SubmitExplicitTimingData → CVRCompositorSharedTextures::
BeginGPUTimingCommandBuffer` and `xrEndFrame → CVRCompositorClient::SubmitWithArrayIndexAndTime`. Ruled out: the
layer color scale/bias + image layout structs (FrameBridge `strip_color_bias` 1/2, diagnostic), Valve's Vulkan
layers (VK_INSTANCE_LAYERS=""), array swapchains in general (Lucky's Tale/I Am Cat flat). Kernel tracepoints aren't
allowed for steamos. FrameBridge: `layer_debug` logs xrDestroySwapchain and per-5 s xrBeginFrame/xrEndFrame counts;
`frame_balance` (ends an open frame before the next begin) exists but Vader never leaves one open. Next (built,
not yet run: the Frame slept): `layer_debug` also counts xrAcquire/Wait/ReleaseSwapchainImage per 5 s (hooked only
with layer_debug, after the other conditional hooks) to see whether Vader skips a wait or release: it doesn't (361/361/361 per 5 s).
FrameBridge `snapshot=N` (`snapshot_gl.c`, GLES): every N s the left-eye image the game submits is read back on its
own context and saved as `files/fb_snap_0-7.ppm` (quarter size) — headless launches show a black headset view, this
shows what the game draws. Vader: Lucasfilm logo (an OBB mp4: video works), then its loading card (portrait + segmented
bar) that never advances; the async loader thread sleeps and OBB reads stop (~168 MB of a 2.7 GB pak).
## SteamVR overlay apps
**SteamVR overlay apps (agent v75, 2026-10-10):** host OpenVR overlays (VRApplication_Overlay) are composited over Lepton (Quest) games on the Frame (probe checker seen over 4XVR in the headset view, `native/vroverlay_probe`); Windows ones register through Proton's vrclient too (Temporal Reality's Windows build created its overlays; fpsVR never reaches OpenVR under Proton). Detection `analysis/vroverlay.py` (bundled `.vrmanifest` with `is_dashboard_overlay`, else OpenVR + IVROverlay + self-registration markers, engine Other; Rift fingerprint `RIFT_ANALYSIS`), patch `pcvr.vr_overlay` (param autostart), Linux entry fields `vr_overlay`/`vr_overlay_autostart` (game page switch); agent `register_vr_overlay`/`unregister_vr_overlay`/`launch_vr_overlay` (IVRApplications via ctypes, live; manifest `<anchor>/frameport-overlay.vrmanifest`, the app's own key, binary = launch.sh). **SteamVR on the Frame reads only `binary_path_linux_arm`** (binary_path_linux alone is skipped). Overlay apps: no launch test, no Linux Steam-parent watchdog (`FRAMEPORT_OVERLAY`), not a "running game". A Steam overlay-app shortcut and a game shortcut run together. SteamVR's SetApplicationAutoLaunch didn't persist on the dev Frame (the watch never started by itself) → **agent v76: FramePort's own autostart**: the deployment's `overlay.autostart` is the source of truth; `ensure_host_fixes` (`ensure_overlay_service`) keeps the user service `frameport-vr-overlays.service` (`_vr_overlay_watch`, 5 s polls of the known vrserver's /proc stat) only while an overlay app has autostart on (register/unregister, uninstall, purge and the kill switch `~/.local/share/frameport/vr-overlays.disabled` / `FRAMEPORT_NO_OVERLAY_AUTOSTART` update it); a new vrserver (pid + start time, kept in `~/.cache/frameport-vr-overlays.json` across agent updates) → child `_vr_overlay_round`: wait for IVRApplications, 15 s grace, `launch_vr_overlay` for apps not running (folder process or GetApplicationProcessId); log `~/.local/share/frameport/vr-overlays.log`. Dev Frame: adopted the running vrserver, skipped the already running watch; a start after a real SteamVR start/boot is not yet seen. Details: docs/FRAME_RUNTIME.md "Overlay apps".
## Vader's leak solved / AC Nexus flips
**Vader's leak solved / AC Nexus flips (2026-10-14):** Vader Immortal leaves GL errors pending on its context; SteamVR's GL interop (`openxr_graphics_gl_openvr.cpp`, `xrclient_<pkg>.txt` in Steam's logs: `SXR_GL_CHECK: error:0x502 ... glGenTextures`) takes the stale error as its own failure once, and from then on `CVRCompositorSharedTextures::BeginCommandBuffer` allocates a command buffer every frame (perf page-fault stacks; ~430 renderD128 mappings + 22 MB/s). Adapter `gl_error_clear` (GLES, catalog on for Vader ep1-3) clears them before xrCreateSwapchain/xrBeginFrame/xrEndFrame: flat memory, no SXR_GL_CHECK (headless). The per-game `xrclient_<pkg>.txt` logs are worth reading for runtime errors. The Frame's runtime caps swapchains per session (XR_ERROR_LIMIT_REACHED from ~15; AC Nexus asks for more): flip emulation now turns quads upright in place (scratch VkImage, once per acquire; transfer usage added to single-layer colour swapchains) instead of a shadow swapchain per quad, which ran into the cap (#138). Headless sessions don't draw AC Nexus's panels (adapter `flip_dump` saves before/after images of flipped quads, for headset runs).
## Unreal's self-restart
**Unreal's self-restart (agent v90, 2026-10-13):** UE 4.21+ restarts the app once after its first-run shader
precompile ("optimizing" screen; `r.ProgramBinaryCache.RestartAndroidAfterPrecompile`): it starts its own LAUNCHER
activity and calls System.exit(0); Lepton ends the container with the first process (the restarted one with it).
Skipping `AndroidThunkJava_RestartApplication` or the cvar = 0 (accepted via UE4CommandLine.txt `-ini:`) left Sports
Scramble on that level for good. launch.sh (RESTART_BLOCK, `upgrade_launchers` adds it) starts Lepton once more when
`_restart_requested` sees the app's own LAUNCHER start (system log, uid >= 10000) <= 5 s before its exit; first run
kept as `launch-before-restart.log`; `FRAMEPORT_NO_RESTART=1` off. Owner-verified with Sports Scramble's first start (2026-10-13).
## xrWaitFrame runs ahead (Journey of the Gods)
**xrWaitFrame runs ahead (Journey of the Gods, 2026-10-14, owner-verified):** with real frames (headset on) the
Frame's runtime sometimes returns from xrWaitFrame at once with a display time less than one refresh after the frame
just submitted, and then rejects the second submission for that refresh (`VRCompositorError_AlreadySubmitted` in
Steam's `logs/xrclient_<pkg>.txt`; FrameBridge pacing above the display rate). VrApi games that render faster than
the display ran ahead (~120 submits/s at 90 Hz) and the scene slid and snapped back. The VrApi bridge re-waits when
the new display time is under half a period after the last submitted one (`pacing 2s:` counters). Headless runs only
submit empty frames and never show it. Lepton's logcat mirror also missed the whole verifying session (launch.log =
Lepton's own lines only): the keeper now catches a silent mirror too (agent v91).
## Lepton's logcat mirror dies
**Lepton's logcat mirror dies (agent v67, 2026-10-09; v91 2026-10-14):** Lepton's mirror (`podman exec -it <container> logcat -v threadtime,color`) fails three ways: `logcat: Unexpected EOF!` right after the game starts, `Logcat read failure`, or running and writing nothing at all (Lepton 3.0.5: seen twice on 2026-10-14, once in the owner's session, once headless). launch.sh's `_logcat_keeper` reads `podman exec <container> logcat -v threadtime -T <epoch>` itself into launch.log after a failure line or 20 s without a logcat line (from the launcher's start when the mirror never wrote, else from just before its last line), restarts it from where it ended (≤5), stops it when Lepton's coloured lines come back, sets the container's log buffer to 16 MiB (`logcat -G`), and logs every decision to `<base>/logcat-keeper.log`. Checked on the dev Frame: a mirror killed mid-game (hand-over without a gap) and a silent mirror (the whole session recovered).
## Double launch
**Double launch (agent v57, 2026-10-06):** a second Play while Lepton still boots (~10 s with nothing to see) made
the second Lepton stop the first one's container ("Waiting for steamlaunch-<appid> (PID …) to exit", exit 137
"(starting)", "Clearing baked app data due to early exit") and both died (Vader, BattleSisters). launch.sh now takes
`flock` on `<base>/.launch.lock` (fd 9, inherited by Lepton; the watchdog and dashboard helpers close it with
`9>&-`); a second launch exits 0 and logs to `<base>/launch-dup.log`. `upgrade_launchers` adds it to existing
launchers. Verified on the device (second launch during boot: ignored, the first kept running). Vader on its loading
card ignores input too (owner pressed/held every button: presses reach the runtime, the card never changes).
## Issue triage round (2026-10-06)
**Issue triage round (2026-10-06, owner's headset):** vibration in OVRPlugin games = 2 s vibrations updated per frame and
stopped with amplitude 0; FrameBridge turns amplitude 0 into xrStopHapticFeedback (else each buzz ran 2 s), haptic_fix
uses the envelope RMS (was its peak), per-game `haptic_scale` → Creed/The Boys/Jurassic World fine. Lambda1VR (TBXR):
loader named by Build.MANUFACTURER (`frame.tbxr_vendor`), no graphics extension enabled (FrameBridge adds
XR_KHR_opengl_es_enable + asks for the requirements on -50), always multisampled render-to-texture (GL shim gives
single-sampled stand-ins when GL_EXT_multisampled_render_to_texture is hidden) + its xash/ data → works. Jurassic World:
`frame.vrapi_stub`. Metro Awakening: contributor's vkshim fixes + hide_space_warp + no VALVE_rpo (jumping polygons like
ITR2). Pinball FX VR: hide_space_warp (stutters). Eleven: a Meta online request fails after platform init → needs Meta
services. Star Wars Tales: top half black + freeze after loading; ruled out: asset-file paks (never requested), Valve
foveation (off: no change), GL errors (MESA_DEBUG=1: none), EGL_BAD_ACCESS once in OVRPlugin init (harmless); the game's
eye image reads back black. BlazeRush: VrApi bridge exports + ovr*_ToString stubs + avatar stub get it to the menu room
at 72 fps, full input reaches it (diagnostics `input 5s`: Touch type only, sticks 1.0, buttons, poses 0x8f), but the room
draws no controllers and ignores input; avatar loader forced to its "Failed" path (no logged-in user) changed nothing.
`frame.ovr_trace` can't trace Unity games (P/Invoke dlsym; nothing imports ovr_*). Headless: the VrApi bridge's 30 s
head-pose deadline ends VR mode without a worn headset (not a game bug).
## Lepton storage
**Lepton storage (2026-09-30):** each app's /sdcard (= /storage/emulated/0 → `<base>/lepton-data/external`) has `Movies`/`Download`/`Documents` symlinked to the Frame's `~/Videos`/`~/Downloads`/`~/Documents` (liblepton/mounting.sh, only if they exist at start); agent v24 `storage_targets` reads that mapping. Android's MediaProvider canonicalises paths to /home/steamos/... and rejects every file ("doesn't appear under [/system/media...]"), `sm list-volumes` is empty: the media index never works, apps must browse folders. Lepton installs with `adb install -g` (runtime permissions granted, MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE too). Files: `install/files.py`, `frameport frame send|storage`, GUI Files tab (formerly Frame → Send files).
## SteamVR per-app settings
**SteamVR per-app settings (2026-09-30):** editing steamvr.vrsettings while SteamVR runs is lost; the web API (127.0.0.1:27062 /app/setsettings) needs `x-steamvr-secret`. `native/vrsettings` = `fp_vrsettings.exe` (freestanding, OpenVR `FnTable:IVRSettings_003` as a Utility app, loads SteamVR's bin/win64/openvr_api.dll) sets them live and SteamVR persists them: section `steam.app.<shortcut appid>`, keys `preferredRefreshRate` (float) and `motionSmoothingOverride` (0 global, 1 on, 2 off, 3 always). Steam Link (vrlink) lists the Frame's rates 72/80/90/96/108/120/144 in vrserver.txt and follows the per-app preference ("host preferred N Hz"; whether the key is honoured is unverified in-headset yet). Judder metric: vrcompositor.txt session summary dropped + "Timed out. N total" (Stormland: 0 dropped but 313 timeouts in 2 min); fpsVR (`%LOCALAPPDATA%\fpsVR\*.json`, 0.1 ms histograms) gives p99 CPU/GPU ms. `pcvr.steamvr_tuning` (default on, PC only) applies on Play: highest rate whose budget ≥ p99×1.05, at least one step down, smoothing on.
## Language packs
**Language packs (merged from PR #20, 2026-10-04):** overport's `libovrplatformloader.so` is a dispatcher that `dlopen`s Meta's own loader (`libovrplatformloader_meta.so` / `_meta_q1.so`, also `libpxrplatformloader.so`) and keeps its own message queue; `ovr_LanguagePack_GetCurrent/SetCurrent` are 8-byte `return 0` stubs in it, `ovr_AssetFile_GetList` forwards to Meta's loader. `frame.langpacks` (opt-in, `native/langpack`) serves `<tag>.lang` files from the game's data; `elf.hide_exports` marks the loader's exports STB_LOCAL (bionic and glibc only match GLOBAL/WEAK; verified for glibc, bionic's `is_symbol_global_and_defined` is from memory). `libfp_langpack.so` is built here (`python native/build.py --only langpack`) and committed. Owner-verified 2026-10-04: Deadpool VR with only `en.lang` and the patch on plays English dialogue and runs normally (headless launch tests show 2-6 fps while it loads: not a regression sign). A dispatcher answer that arrives after we answered the timed-out GetList is dropped (one answer per request); games already in a library get `lang_packs` filled after an app update (`library._refresh_data_fields`). The library logs to logcat under the tag `fp_langpack` (dirs looked in, packs found, every language-pack call), so it shows up in the game's `launch.log`; an `ovr_AssetFile_GetList` the dispatcher leaves unanswered for 1.5 s is answered with our packs alone. Deadpool VR (Unreal) accepts a pack only when its `Metadata` equals the game's own version string (`ULanguagePacksSubsystem` compares it with `%s.%s.%s.%s.%s` built from the build info, e.g. `1.0.40.356975.Quest` = versionName; found by disassembling `libUE4.so`): the patch writes the APK's versionName into the library (`@FPMETA@` slot, `with_metadata`), `FRAMEPORT_LANGPACK_META` overrides it. Deadpool VR (2026-10-04, headset): German became selectable with that Metadata, but dialogue stayed silent (even English once reported as a pack) while the path was spelled `/sdcard/Android/obb/<pkg>/x.lang`; with the `/storage/emulated/0/Android/obb/<pkg>/x.lang` spelling (Unreal's own, now listed first in `scan_dirs`) German dialogue plays. `FRAMEPORT_LANGPACK_SKIP=<tags>` or a file `fp_langpack_skip` in the obb folder leaves packs out of the list (experiments).
## Cube swapchains
**Cube swapchains (GitHub #107, 2026-10-09):** the Frame's runtime refuses `faceCount=6` swapchains (-2,
XR_ERROR_RUNTIME_FAILURE); OVRPlugin ignores that ("CreateSwapchain for eye 0: 0x0, 0 stages") and crashes in
ovrp_EndFrame4 (memset). FrameBridge `cube_standin` (default on, `native/adapter/cube_standin.c`) serves a refused cube
swapchain as one GL cube-map texture in the app's context (GLES only) and drops its layers. Verified headless with
Budget Cuts Ultimate (2048² sRGB, 12 mips; runs on at ~70 fps); what the cube layer showed is simply missing.
## Hardware video decoding
**Hardware video decoding (PR #96, PR #128 by Lucas-Mathieu, adapted 2026-10-10, agent v71):** `native/hevc` = one
OMX plugin `OMX.frameport.{avc,hevc,vp9}.decoder` (FFmpeg v4l2m2m on Iris /dev/video-dec0, FFmpeg software decoders as
fallback inside the component, Vulkan copy for big native surfaces). The connection installs it once per Frame
(`ensure_video_codec` → agent `video_codec_status`/`install_video_codec`: `~/.local/share/frameport/video-codec/versions/
<manifest sha>` + `current` symlink). A Frame keeps the same or a newer `revision` (no flip-flop between PCs) → **bump
`revision` in native/hevc/build.py with every artifact change**; a failed install isn't retried during the connection.
Per game: only launchers of games whose recipe has `frame.hw_video_decode` (install stage, no APK change; suggested
from analysis `media_codec`, ANALYSIS_VERSION 8; deployment.json `hw_video_decode`) get the codec line → the Podman
wrapper (native/hevc/podman.py) mounts the plugin into that container (merged media_codecs.xml in
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/frameport-video). Off for every game: Settings → Installing (library `video.hw_decode` → agent
`video_codec_switch` = video-codec/disabled); one game: `FRAMEPORT_NO_HW_VIDEO=1 %command%`. `upgrade_launchers`
converts agent ≤70 launchers (Batman's `<base>/frameport-codec` → keeps the line, folder then removed). Batman: catalog
+ migration `batman_video_patches` (`frame.hw_video_decode` + hidden adapter setting `surface_native`). Iris: 8K
refused (ENOMEM) while any other decoder session is open; SteamVR's vrlinkrunthread holds one ~12 s at game start →
refused opens retry until 20 s after the plugin loaded (else 2 s), then software; VP9 7680x3840 never returned a
picture → VP9 ≤4096x2304; hidden VP9 frames come back as empty capture buffers (bytesused 0, no LAST):
FFmpeg's wrapper ended the EOS drain at the first one (two-pass VP9 lost its last ~25 frames) → build.py requeues
them (codec revision 8; drain ends at LAST, or 1 s after a skipped empty buffer; dev Frame 2026-10-10: 600/600 =
OMX.google.vp9 Y hashes). Rebuilds are deterministic (ext4 + NTFS path
with spaces, two NDK copies → same; rev 8 141de01f…; PR #128's own sources → its 27a2d749…). Not yet run on the device.
## Vulkan shader dump
**Vulkan shader dump (GitHub #140, 2026-10-10):** adapter `vk_shader_dump=1` (Vulkan shim, `native/vkshim/shader_dump.h`;
applies where vk_sanitize can: Unreal/Other arm64) writes each distinct SPIR-V module once to
`files/fp_vk_shaders/<size>_<sha256>.spv` (tmp + rename) and one `index.txt` line per vkCreateShaderModule (`<seq> <ms>
<unix ms> <name> new|known|again|failed`, O_APPEND) to find the module behind a GPU hang. Agent v72 `collect_diag`
returns `shaders` (newest modules of fp_vk_shaders + fp_spirv, ≤4 MB each, base64) → bundle
`games/<pkg>/target/shaders/`. Triage `gpu-hang` suggests both dumps; `triage.graphics_api` (FrameBridge's
xrCreateSwapchain formats: <0x1000 Vulkan, else GL) keeps only the session's API's (`API_ONLY`). Host-tested only.
Agent v74: a reporter's hang came ~10 s after the last new module, so the culprit wasn't among the newest written →
with an index naming modules, `shader_dumps` sends every module of the index's **newest session** (after the last
`# start`), deduplicated, last used first, each ≤4 MB, ≤30 MB in all (`session` = how many it names) + that session's
index lines; no index (fp_spirv) = the old newest-by-mtime 4 MB. One JSON line (~40 MB base64) over the SSH channel
is read whole by `Frame.agent` (fine at that size); `_Writer.fit` drops the least recently used modules last, after
cutting logs, to stay under the 24 MB zip limit.
## Unreal OBB check
**Unreal OBB check (GitHub #159, 2026-10-10):** Epic's DownloaderActivity checks OBB name+size (OBBData), then with `bVerifyOBBOnStartUp=true` CRCs the whole OBB; its screens are invisible in Lepton (stuck at `Displayed …/.DownloaderActivity`, triage `unreal-obb-check-stuck`) → `frame.unreal_skip_obb_check` (analysis `unreal_verify_obb`, ANALYSIS_VERSION 11) flips the manifest boolean (`axml.set_meta_data_bool`); skips only the CRC pass. Host-tested only.
## Issue round 2026-10-12
**Issue round 2026-10-12 (agent v83):** Lepton pastes STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH unquoted into `sh -c "ln -s …/internal/<pkg>
/data/data/<pkg>"` (mounting.sh): a game on a card named "Steam Frame 512g" got no internal storage (no saves/prefs;
Beyond Sandbox's EOS then looped `createKeychain→resetKeychain` forever, 1.85 GB log). Quest launchers with an unsafe
path now `ln -sfn <base> ~/.local/share/frameport/lepton-paths/<pkg>` at every start and give Lepton that path
(`app_dir_lines`/`set_app_dir`/`launcher_base`; upgrade_launchers converts; deployment.json keeps the real base).

destructor-less keys behind one real key); device: past Firestore, 72 fps. Cpp2IL releases can't read metadata v107

Vermillion's canvas

stays deleted (#212). Findings: OLAR (#201) RHIThread null deref in libUnreal (`ldr x8,[x19,#792]`, x19=0) not fixed by
hide_space_warp / vk_hide_fdm / no Valve layers; FNAF HW (#135) "freeze" = first-start GL program-binary-cache compile
on Zink (threads busy in zink/disk cache), not a hang; VR4 (#199) reporter's patch.203 OBB truncated. Upload benchmark
(`scripts/upload_bench.py`, #242): home Wi-Fi caps every method at ~11 MB/s; paramiko uses ~3x OpenSSH's CPU; Windows
OpenSSH refuses FramePort's key file (ACL "bad permissions") until its permissions are tightened.
## OpenSSH uploads
**OpenSSH uploads (2026-10-15, #324/#242):** sftp escapes `* ? [` inside double quotes itself (and undoes it for
put's destination), so `native_upload.quote` escapes only `\\`/`"`; Win32 sftp turns every local backslash into `/`
(escapes too) → local paths go as `C:/…`. Logins: `Frame.auth` = the attempt that worked (app_key / user_key = a key
file from Settings → Installing → SSH keys, library `ssh.extra_keys`, CLI `frame ssh-keys` / agent / password).
OpenSSH strict (FramePort + Settings keys, IdentitiesOnly) unless auth was "agent"; a refused strict login retries
relaxed (+ private copies of ~/.ssh/id_{rsa,dsa,ecdsa,ed25519}: OpenSSH skips its defaults once any -i is given, + the
agent); `-v` key lines go into the error. FramePort doesn't add its key to the Frame for this. Windows-tested.
## Meta user id
**Meta user id (GitHub #182, 2026-10-11):** OVRPort's platform loader (runtimes 3.4.3-23204ea and -aa54c3f) answers
`ovr_GetLoggedInUserID` (and two other callers) without a Meta account with a made-up id from a helper (`stp; mov x29,
sp; bl random; …; mov/movk x9 = 0x53444835ec580000 (6e18); add x0, x8, x9; ldp; ret`), kept only in memory → a new id
every start; Walkabout Mini Golf files saves under `Profiles/Oculus/<id>/` and lost all progress. `frame.ovr_stable_user`
(default_on, detect = the game has libovrplatformloader.so) rewrites the helper to `mov x0, <6e18 + 32 bits of
sha256(package, keystore)>; ret`: stable per game and per user (keystores are personal), so online games never see two
FramePort users as one. Found in every PATCHED build checked. Host-tested only; upstream candidate.
## Vivox API 31
**Vivox API 31 (GitHub #101, 2026-10-09):** newer Vivox builds (Green Hell VR) call Android 12 AudioManager
communication-device methods from `com.vivox.sdk.AudioChangeListener` with no SDK check → NoSuchMethodError on Lepton's
Android 11. `frame.vivox_audio_route` (analysis `vivox_api31`, ANALYSIS_VERSION 4) makes every such method return at
once (`Dex.return_early`: return-void / `const/4 v0,0; return v0`; nopping the invoke would leave a move-result the
verifier rejects). Older Vivox (Eleven Table Tennis, BattleSisters) lacks that code and isn't matched. Verified
headless: Vivox initialises, 150 s at ~65-70 fps.
Photon Voice does the same (GitHub #362 Table Troopers, #325): `com.exitgames.photon.audioinaec.AudioInAEC.
updateAudioDevice` (void; only caller of getAvailableCommunicationDevices/setCommunicationDevice, reached from the mic
thread `AudioInAEC$1.run` via access$000; no SDK_INT check left) → sibling patch `frame.photon_voice_audio_route`
(analysis `photon_voice_api31`, ANALYSIS_VERSION 21; shares `vivox_audio_route.patch_class`; Vivox's id, title and
output unchanged, no revision bump). Triage: `vivox-api31` / `photon-voice-api31` now need the SDK's class in the
stack; any other `*CommunicationDevice*` NoSuchMethodError = `audio-api31` (report). Host-tested on the real dex only.
## Steam Input gamepad for 2D apps
**Steam Input gamepad for 2D apps (GitHub #162, agent v72, 2026-10-10):** Lepton's Android only has the Wayland seat's `wayland_touch/keyboard/pointer`. Steam makes its virtual pad (uinput, `/devices/virtual/input`, 28de:11ff, "Microsoft X-Box 360 pad N", ACL for steamos) only while the Frame's controllers are on (controller.txt "Steam Controller reserving XInput slot 0"; gone when they sleep), also with no game running; steamos-manager's 28de:0000 keys device isn't a pad (no BTN_SOUTH). Lepton's container root (system_server too) = steamos (`keep-id:uid=0`), so a bind-mounted `/dev/input/eventN` opens. Opt-in `device.steam_gamepad` (vr_kind none; suggested for `android.hardware.gamepad`/`LEANBACK_LAUNCHER`, analysis `gamepad`, ANALYSIS_VERSION 9): deployment.json `steam_gamepad` → launcher `GAMEPAD_LINE` (after the codec line: exports FRAMEPORT_GAMEPAD + LEPTON_ENV_SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_ALLOW_STEAM_VIRTUAL_GAMEPAD, puts `agent/bin` first on PATH) → `PODMAN_WRAPPER` (written by ensure_host_fixes; non-`run` calls go straight on; `run` imports the agent's `podman_run_args`; hands on to the next Podman after its own PATH entry with itself removed from PATH, so it chains to the codec wrapper either way round) adds the pads + `Vendor_28de_Product_<pid>.kl` (Xbox 360 layout). Verified headless with a uinput stand-in pad (Stremio's container: EventHub `classes=0x80000141`, our key layout, KeyEvent BUTTON_A dispatched); with Steam's real pad and a game: not yet. Pads made after the start aren't seen until the next one.
## Multiview programs on flat framebuffers (Doom3Quest)
**Multiview programs on flat framebuffers (GitHub #77, Doom3Quest, 2026-10-09, prototype):** Mesa enforces OVR_multiview's
"program num_views == draw framebuffer views" rule (`draw_validate.c`, the draw is dropped silently); Qualcomm doesn't.
Doom3Quest compiles every VS with `layout(num_views=2) in;` and draws its HUD/PDA into 2D-texture FBOs → black. Opt-in
`frame.gl_multiview_fbo` (analysis `gl_multiview_libs`, ANALYSIS_VERSION 6; own-engine GLES only): `native/glmv` =
`libfpglmv.so` (12 chars = "libGLESv3.so": libdoom3.so's one `.rodata` dlopen string is rewritten in place, its qgl*
table comes from dlsym on that handle; also first DT_NEEDED for its direct gl*/egl* imports). Such draws use a lazily
built single-view twin (view 0, uniforms copied per draw); eglMakeCurrent resets the per-thread cache. Host-tested only
(rewriter on all 19 Doom3Quest shaders + glmv.c against a stand-in GL, `tests/test_gl_multiview_fbo.py`); the host's
Mesa 23.2 llvmpipe has no OVR_multiview. Headset-verified by Xandrix1987 (2026-10-09: HUD/PDA shown, no fps drop) -> in the Doom3Quest catalog recipe.
## BlazeRush
**BlazeRush (GitHub #57, Klownicle's verified guide, 2026-10-10; FramePort's version headless-tested only):**
`frame.blazerush` (1.0.349 only: exec-segment SHA + every word checked, offsets from PT_LOAD) NOPs the avatar-readiness
wait (0x4b2dbc), RETs the avatar renderer (0x4b2adc), renames `cache/shader_cache` → `cache/br_shader_v1`. GL shim
(now also exports glShaderSource/glLinkProgram/glProgramBinary/glDeleteProgram/glDraw*: pass-through unless a setting
is on) `gl_int_attribs` (integer inputs fed via glVertexAttribPointer re-set with glVertexAttribIPointer per draw,
reflection cached per EGL context + program, dropped on link/binary/delete) and `gl_highp_markers` (vertex shaders with
every '|' marker: mediump→highp except on in/out/uniform lines); host test `tests/test_blazerush.py` with a stand-in
GL. FOV: the game reads VrApi props 7/8 right after vrapi_Initialize (no session; the Frame has no
XR_EPIC_view_configuration_fov) → the bridge saves the live FOV (also located before tracking, headless: 118.87×120.04
on the dev Frame) in `files/framebridge-vrapi-fov.txt` and answers with it at the next start (log `FOV properties: …
(saved by an earlier session)`). `device.config_sync` (catalog field `config_sync`, agent v78): user_config.xml
r_3dwidth/height, r_width/height from the runtime eye size (FrameBridge logs `runtime recommended eye size`) × scale,
written at finalize, set_settings and by launch.sh before Lepton starts (`_config_sync`). Headless runs at scale 1.7
end in `zink: DEVICE LOST` right after the bridge's 30 s no-tracking deadline tears the session down (gpu fault at the
teardown; not at scale 1.0): a headless-only artifact, the headset never hits that deadline. Launch tests count an exit/crash after
such a line as a pass (triage.yaml `headless_end`, finding `headless-end`; GitHub #57 "Failed to launch" on install).
## Session triage
**Session triage (agent v70, 2026-10-09):** launch tests never reach FOCUSED, so real play sessions are triaged
too. list_installed gives each game `last_play` {start, end, test} from `<anchor>/plays.log` (launch tests write a
`test <unix>` line first → test sessions are only marked); `session_log` returns the newest session's launch.log
(`<base>/session.log`, ≤4 MB: head + tail + FrameBridge/crash lines between) + that session's logcat-crash.log +
`journalctl -k` GPU lines ("kernel: …"). The GUI's connection refresh (`app._check_sessions` → `pipeline.sessions_due`,
background thread; sessions >7 days old are skipped) runs `pipeline.triage_session` = `validate/session.analyze`
(triage.yaml signatures incl. `space-warp-used` (info, `question:`, never auto-applied), `gpu-hang` (`report: true`)
+ computed `slow-frames` (pacing windows vs the nearest refresh rate) and `focus-dips` (FrameBridge always logs
`focus: lost` / `focus: back after N ms`, session_fixes.c)) → library `last_session` / `last_session_checked` → game
page "Last session" callout (Try this fix / Rebuild with this fix / Yes-No question / Report / Dismiss). Suggestions may
be values (`adapter.scale=0.85`, `triage.split_suggestion`); adapter-only fixes are pushed live (`apply_suggestions_live`
→ agent set_settings, like the Game settings dialog). CLI `frameport session <pkg> [--apply]`. PC VR (Proton) launchers
log no session end, so they aren't triaged yet. pac_hints stays triage-only: a survey of all 68 dump APKs found unpaired
PAC hints in 21 libraries of 18 games (OpenSSL's 38/40 in most UE4 libUE4.so and libEOSSDK.so, UE5 libUnreal.so ~400
vs +2-3, libass, libopencv, …), most of them games that work, so default-on would rewrite many working builds.
## Install links / FrameDrop button protocol
**Install links / FrameDrop button protocol (2026-10-07, not yet clicked end to end from a browser):** FrameDrop
(framedropvr.com, a closed-source Windows sideloader) defines "Install with FrameDrop" buttons:
`https://framedropvr.com/install?manifest=<url>|url=<file>` → that page opens `framedrop://install?…` (1.6 s, else its
home page); manifest `{"schema":"framedrop.install/v1","name","files":[{"url","sha256"}]}` (name = Steam title; .apk
or Linux .zip). `deeplink.py` (no Flet) parses framedrop://, frameport:// and the pasted https link, enforces its
rules (https; http only on loopback; no credentials; no LAN/loopback/link-local IPs, also after DNS and redirects; URL
ends in a file name), caps manifests at 256 KiB, ignores non-hex sha256 (FrameDrop's own example has a placeholder),
downloads into `<data>/downloads/<slug>-<hash>/` (OBBs → `obb/` next to the APK, `.part` removed on cancel/mismatch);
`pipeline.add_from_link` routes APK / Linux / exe and sets `title` + `title_locked` + `link` (a bare file link keeps
FramePort's title). GUI: `views/link_dialog.py` (always asks first), Add games → "Install from a link…", CLI
`frameport open-link [--yes --no-install --gui]`. **A `flet build` bundle can't take a URL argument** (the Flutter
host treats any argv as a developer page URL), so `urlhandler.py` registers a script, not FramePort.exe: Windows
HKCU `Software\Classes\{framedrop,frameport}` → hidden PowerShell `frameport-link-handler.ps1`; WSL (source runs)
the same keys → `wsl.exe -d <distro> -e sh frameport-link-handler.sh`; Linux `frameport-links.desktop` +
`xdg-mime`; macOS unsupported (Apple Events, paste instead). The script drops the link into `<data>/links/*.link`
and starts FramePort unless `<data>/gui.alive` is < 10 s old (`gui.starting` stops double starts); the GUI's
`_watch_links` thread touches the heartbeat and opens links (newest window session). Settings → Install links: one
switch per scheme (`links.framedrop`, `links.frameport`, default on); a scheme another program owns (FrameDrop) is
only taken with "Use FramePort for these links" (`register([s], force=True)`); off removes only FramePort's own
registration (`MARK` in the command). Never registered with FRAMEPORT_HOME/FRAMEPORT_NO_LINK_HANDLER (tests,
screenshots). Same round: files dropped on the Library (`ui/dropped.py`, bundles only like the Files tab), "Add a
Windows program (.exe)…" (`pipeline.add_windows_exe`: exe in Downloads/home/drive root copied alone into
`<data>/windows-apps/<slug>/`), patch `device.display_mode` (Automatic / VR / Flat window → `InstallContext.display`,
`installer.show_window`). FramePort-only manifest extension `"frameport": {"description", "icon"}` (bad values ignored; icon: same URL rules,
≤2 MiB, Pillow-checked, ≥32 px, saved as PNG in `<data>/downloads/icons/`, shown in the question by asset URL, then
`sources.apply_custom(pkg, "icon")` unless `.picked` exists; description fills `details.description` only when
empty). Bare file links get a title guessed from the file name (`title_from_filename`: version/arch dropped, package
names → last part). Windows test of 0.12.1.dev191 (2026-10-07): a button click opened the dialog; but a click right
after closing FramePort did nothing (the closed window's heartbeat was < 10 s old) → the handler scripts now wait
up to 4 s for the link file to be taken before trusting the heartbeat, the window's CLOSE event / atexit delete
`gui.alive`, and the Windows command runs under `conhost.exe --headless` (plain `-WindowStyle Hidden` flashed a
console). Screens: `scripts/ui_smoke.py --links --fake-frame --game <pkg>` (tall pages: `--viewport
1280x7000`; Flutter's popup menu ignores Escape).
Demo link: the homepage's example button = `deeplink.DEMO_MANIFEST` (https://frameport.app/demo/cool-game.json, published
from site/public/demo/); every form (https button page, frameport://, framedrop://, pasted) → `InstallRequest.demo`,
no network (fetch_manifest returns `demo_manifest()`, download refuses), `link_dialog.show_demo` (Install =
`easter.demo_install`: Cool Game's cover out of the portal; eggs off → "Nice, it works!"), CLI just says so.
Link updates (2026-10-17): manifest `version` (top level, or `frameport.version`, which wins; ≤64 chars) is stored in
the entry's `link` record (+ `direct`); `pipeline.check_link_updates` (GUI start via `app._check_link_updates`, every
6 h: setting `links.last_update_check`, off with `links.check_updates`) re-fetches web manifests that named a version
(`deeplink.can_check_updates`: not bare file links, local manifests or the demo) and sets/clears `link_update`
{version, checked}; versions compare with `deeplink.compare_versions` (numbers, then release > suffix). UI: Library
`link_bar` + game page callout → `link_dialog.update_from_link` (fetch again, one confirmation, `download_and_install`
per game; add_from_link clears the offer and keeps a name the user gave). CLI `frameport link-updates [--install]`.

Yes. Steam doesn't sync Quest games' saves, so FramePort copies them to your PC: the game's menu (**…** on its page) →
**Saves** → **Back up saves**, or **Back up all saves** on the Steam Frame page (Installed games). Close the game
first. A backup holds the game's own storage (`/data/data/<package>` and `/sdcard/Android/data/<package>`), without
caches, shader caches and large downloaded content (videos, OBBs, files over 64 MB); the job says when something was
left out. FramePort keeps the 10 newest backups per game (Settings → Data). They're in FramePort's data folder under
`save-backups/<package>/` (**Open backups folder** in the game's menu).

## Save backups (Quest games, agent v95, discussion #352)
- A Lepton game's saves are two folders of `<base>/lepton-data`: `internal/<pkg>` (= `/data/data/<pkg>`:
`shared_prefs/`, `files/`, `databases/`; Unreal's `files/UE4Game|UnrealGame/.../Saved` often lives here) and
`external/Android/data/<pkg>` (= `/sdcard/Android/data/<pkg>`: Unity's `files/`, Unreal's external `Saved`). On the
dev Frame (2026-10-16) every file in them belongs to `steamos` (Lepton's `keep-id:uid=0`: the container's root and
app = steamos), mostly mode 600/660 in 700/771/775/2771 folders; Lepton's links (`Android/obb/<pkg>`, `Movies`,
`Download`, `Documents`) sit outside these two folders.
- Agent `_backup_saves '<json>'` streams a tar.gz of both (members `internal/…`, `external/…`, PAX, numeric owners and
modes; last member `frameport-saves.json` = manifest with size + sha256 per file and what was left out) on the SSH
exec channel's stdout, the result JSON on stderr. Left out: folders named cache/code_cache/no_backup/il2cpp/
UnityShaderCache/(Vulkan)ProgramBinaryCache/GPUCache/… at any depth, Unreal `Saved/Logs|Crashes`, FrameBridge's
`fb_snap_*`/`framebridge*` files, `.obb/.apk/.foz/.mp4/.mkv/.webm/.mov`, symlinks and special files, and files over
64 MiB (big downloaded content; e.g. BattleTalent's `files/Video`). More than 4 GiB of saves is refused.
- `_restore_saves '<json>'` reads the archive from stdin and treats it as untrusted: only regular files and folders
under `internal/`/`external/` (no `..`, absolute paths, links, devices, duplicates), ≤1 GiB per file / 8 GiB in all,
each file's sha256 must match the manifest, the manifest's package must be the game. Everything is staged in
`<base>/.saves-restore-*` first, a path that would pass through a link on the Frame is refused, then the current
saves are written to `<base>/saves-before-restore.tar.gz` (one copy; `rollback: true` restores it and keeps the
replaced saves as the new copy) and each file is renamed into place. Existing files keep their owner and mode, new
ones get their folder's owner and the backup's mode (at least u+rw); save files the backup doesn't have are removed
(left-out files stay). A failure while swapping puts the rollback copy back.
- Both run their file work in `podman unshare` (the agent re-runs itself as `_saves_ns <op>` with stdio inherited) so
files owned by mapped ids are readable and keep their ids, take the game's launch lock (`<base>/.launch.lock`, a
Play meanwhile is ignored as a double launch) and refuse while its container runs. `saves_info` sizes a backup and
reports the rollback copy, `saves_rollback_delete` removes it.

# Evaluating patch heuristics
`scripts/eval_heuristics.py` compares `engine.suggest(analysis, use_catalog=False)` with the bundled
`catalog/games/*.yaml` entries. It does not merge personal or remote catalog recipes into the benchmark.
It supports the original dumps command, or a precomputed `scripts/heuristics_snapshot.py` snapshot:
```sh
.venv/bin/python scripts/eval_heuristics.py '<dumps folder>' --verbose
.venv/bin/python scripts/eval_heuristics.py --snapshot analyses.json --split all --json baseline.json
.venv/bin/python scripts/eval_heuristics.py --snapshot analyses.json --fit-report --out fit-report.md
```
Use a scratch `FRAMEPORT_HOME`, `FRAMEPORT_NO_CATALOG_UPDATE=1`, and an empty `FRAMEPORT_WINDOWS_DATA` for offline
measurement. Snapshot mode reads no APKs or game data. Each snapshot read copies the source to a temporary file,
then parses the copy, retrying incomplete JSON. To compare multiple splits against an actively growing snapshot,
freeze one valid copy first and use that file for every run.
The default split is `dev`. `split_packages({package: analysis_engine})` sorts packages by SHA-256 within Unity,
Unreal, and Other strata, then holds out the nearest 20% (half rounded up). Pass only packages with both an analysis
and a catalog entry. The same input set always yields the same split regardless of iteration order; adding packages
can move the cutoff. Very small strata can have no holdout. Unsupported entries participate in splitting.
## What is scored
Ground truth contains catalog choices and patch registry defaults, with no inherited heuristic adapter settings.
Default expectations are determined per analysis, using each default patch's own detection in the same way as the
engine's initial heuristic pass. Thus a conditional default that is not detected (e.g. LTW on a game without LTW)
is not expected. Explicit catalog `overport_remove` and `frame_remove` entries remove expected defaults. An absent
expected default is represented as `remove:<patch id>`; enabled defaults do not inflate patch scores.
Opt-in overport/frame/device/PC VR IDs, default removals, adapter values, device-file names, foveation parameters,
and alternate-build patch IDs are compared. Alternate-build identities use `alt:<patch id>` so choosing one in a
fallback is distinct from choosing it in the primary build. Device-file content is not compared. Adapter values
must match: a wrong value contributes both an FP and an FN for `adapter.<key>`. Patch precision, recall and F1 are
micro-averaged across games; an empty denominator is reported as zero. Exact-game accuracy also compares the
unsupported status flag. Fields report matching games, including empty-field matches.
`RUNTIME_ONLY` lists choices excluded from the headline: `use_alt`, selected runtime adapter settings, Lepton
environment variables, and config-sync settings. They have their own exact, field and patch metrics. Catalog
entries with status `unsupported` are excluded from both headline and runtime supported-game metrics, and have
separate metrics and per-game diffs. Converted analyses are included and marked. JSON contains all metrics per
engine, all game signatures, split assignments, and missing/extra decisions.
## Dated score: catalog gaps vs. detection errors
The strict score treats the catalog as complete, but older entries were verified before many patches existed, and
a catalog recipe inherits every heuristic adapter setting and device patch (except `device.text_input_window`)
without listing them (`engine.suggest`), so the verified build had those. The dated score (`headline_dated`, printed
under "Dated") sets aside, on both sides:
- patches first committed after the entry's `verified.date` (the verifier couldn't have chosen them), and
- inherited adapter/device picks (`inherited_decisions`).
What remains are real disagreements: an extra on an entry verified after the patch existed, or a catalog choice
the heuristics don't make. Gaps are counted per patch ("Catalog gaps by patch"). The dated score needs the intro
date cache that `--fit-report` writes; without it only inherited picks are set aside.
Before tuning a rule to remove an "extra", check which kind it is: a gap on an old entry is a candidate for the
catalog (fit report), not a detection error. Before adding a patch to a working entry, weigh its benefit (does it
fix something the game hits?) against a rebuild prompt for everyone who installed it; adapter settings never need
adding (inherited). Results 2026-10-15: strict 5/65 exact, F1 73.8%; dated 39/65, F1 88.6% (dev 90.5%, holdout
79.5%). Remaining misses are one-game fixes found at runtime (e.g. Vader's gl_error_clear, BlazeRush's GL settings).
An evaluation writes JSON even when its headline has differences, then exits 1 for compatibility with the original
script. It exits 0 when exact, or after producing a fit report.
## New patch fit
The fit report covers all catalog entries, independently of `--split`. Candidates come from the final heuristic
recipe, preserving platform, flat-app, dependency, and 32-bit normalization rules. A candidate must also be opt-in,
applicable and recommended by its own `detect()`. Entries already listing or explicitly removing the patch are
excluded; a listed adapter key is excluded regardless of its value. This report proposes additions, not value edits.
Each candidate includes its reason, experimental/strict flags, first local git introduction date, catalog entry
date (`verified.date`; `updated` only without one, since it also moves for unrelated edits), and whether the
patch is newer. Unknown dates are marked unknown. Warnings
come from the full catalog recipe plus that one candidate; they may include pre-existing conflicts. Missing-analysis
entries appear as metadata-only rows. Intro dates, including unknown results, are cached in
`patch-intro-dates.json` beside the snapshot (or dumps folder); subsequent runs only query uncached patch IDs.
`tests/test_eval_heuristics.py` uses synthetic data. The opt-in real-dump test in `tests/test_games.py` ratchets the
supported all-split exact ratio and patch F1 against measured, rounded-down baseline constants. Machine-local
`.eval-home/` and `.eval-results/` scratch outputs are ignored by git.

Patches that are on by default are on for every game, so the catalog rarely names them.
