spoopyghosty0 3ba49708aa 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 57f70dc63d 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).

Catalog: `headset:` field; com.fallen.affected, net.mobilemischief.spunkydungeon, com.ccpgames.gunjack (works, 2026-10-12). 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

**Quest controller mode:** adapter `quest_buttons` (0/1/2, per game + library `input.quest_buttons`) suggests Frame Controller bindings translated from the game's Touch set (`suggest_frame`, mapping docs/input/quest_buttons.json = single source for C table, tests, diagram `scripts/controller_diagram.py`); runtime accepts them headless. → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#quest-controller-mode-quest_buttons-2026-10-17
**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
**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.
**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:** 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
**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
(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 (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).
**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:** 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
**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).
**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:** `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`). Agent `not_started` waits 30 s for "Boot complete!". → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#vulkan-validation--itr2-solved
**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
**Mixed reality: scanned rooms (branch mr-scene):** agent `room_capture` records Valve's RoomView 3D depth mesh -> `fp_roomscan` -> `room.txt` + `room-mesh.bin` (docs/mr/ROOM_FORMAT.md; refined by default: the owner's cleanup passes + label rules in `native/roomscan/refine.c`/`rules.c`, unrefined output kept as `room-raw.txt` + `room-mesh-raw.bin`, head path/settings/report/labels/door suggestions in `scan.json`, `--refine-only <dir>` re-runs it, `--refine 0` = old output; docs/mr/scan.md "Refinement") in `~/.local/share/frameport/rooms/<universe>/`, copied next to settings.conf (`_room_sync`); FrameBridge (`scene_room.c/scene_meta.c/scene_anchors.c`, all through xrshim) serves walls, volumes, planes, the room mesh, META discovery/persistence, saved anchors and `XR_META_boundary_visibility`; `scene_emul` + `frame.meta_permissions` for every USE_SCENE/USE_ANCHOR_API game (migrations `scene_emul_all`, `scene_permissions`); per-game `scene_hide_bounds` (Demeter). → docs/DEVICE_NOTES.md#mixed-reality-scanned-rooms
**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
**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).
**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, 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 (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 (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.
**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:** `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
**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.

# 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
```markdown

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`.

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

notes: Starts and runs at 72 fps in headless launch tests (2026-10-17); not yet checked in the headset. Steam's shader
cache layer is left out and a few shaders the Frame's driver refuses are skipped, so some objects may be missing.
details: Unreal Engine game (Binned3 allocator, GitHub issue 349). Crash 1 - the allocator's 76 GiB up-front
reservation is refused by the Frame's kernel (frame.unreal_noreserve, suggested by analysis). Crash 2 - Unreal's
"Shader compilation failures are Fatal." With Lepton's Fossilize layer loaded every graphics pipeline failed with
VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY, even a constant-colour one (not the pipeline cache, not the CPU allocator, not Valve's
FDM/RPO layers); vk_no_fossilize takes the layer out of the game's instance. A few pipelines with the game's
multiview vertex shaders then still fail in Turnip; vk_pipeline_fallback creates them with blank shaders.

GitHub issue 369 (headset, Lepton 3.0.5): the GPU hang at a later loading screen is fixed by zink_shader_fix;
played ~28 min at 72 fps.
details: Unreal Engine 4 (GLES) by ILMxLAB, like Vader Immortal, but a different engine build - it has none of Vader's

frame.unreal_multiview_depth refreshes both cached dimensions from the current eye render size; multiview and
multisampling remain enabled. The two engine fixes check exported symbols, function sizes and instruction bytes
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
shaders; the Vulkan layer under Zink inserts stores of 0 (frame.zink_shader_fix, zink_shader_fix). Captured with
Lepton 3.0.5, so a Frame update that changes Zink's output stops it matching (the layer logs that).

# Batman audio geometry input lifetime
Batman: Arkham Shadow 1.4.1 could abort while loading a save or streaming the area
around a real-time cutscene. Unity reported requests for 26,388,238,103 or
147,520,448,640 bytes through `MetaXRAudioUnityMemoryAllocator.cpp`, followed by
`SIGTRAP` on an IL2CPP worker. The first captured stack reached
`GeometricAudioMeshPreprocessor::readMeshInfo` through
`ovrAudio_AudioGeometryReadMeshMemory`.
The serialized asset on disk was intact. In one failed run its vertex count was
read as 1 instead of 17,251. The managed-code trace showed a lifetime risk:
`LoadGeometryAsync` obtains a `NativeArray<byte>.ReadOnly` from a
`UnityWebRequest` download handler, calls async-void `LoadGeometryFromMemory`,
then returns. The background task retains the pointer/length pair, but not the
request owning those bytes. Its `GC.KeepAlive` boxes the read-only view rather
than retaining the request. The trace and device test support premature source
reuse as the cause; no hardware watch established the exact freeing instruction.
## Repair and isolation
`audio_geometry_owned.h` copies the input synchronously at
`LoadGeometryFromMemory`, before `Task.Run` can outlive the request. A mutex
protects the list of copies. The original worker still parses and processes the
audio geometry; its completion wrapper removes and frees the corresponding copy.
This also handles a worker finishing before the queuing call returns. NativeArray
length/padding bits and IL2CPP's hidden method-info arguments are preserved.
Null/invalid lengths and allocation failure retain the original call. A task
that never runs retains its copy until process exit; there is no timed expiry
that could free data beneath a late worker.
`batman_audio_geometry.h` enables the repair only in `com.camouflaj.manta`, on
AArch64, after the existing audio metadata initializer verifies Meta XR Audio
Wwise build `e1619e7fb839badf0ea5ecc22d9f028d0b17c34d`. It additionally requires
IL2CPP build `1d48a41d7e9011bef5fae0c23c404c62a4e7a73c` and exact 16-byte entry
sequences at both managed hooks. Unknown builds are left untouched. The live
IL2CPP addresses are `0x2e61bb4` (queue) and `0x2e63a28` (worker); text file
offsets in this build are 0x1000 lower. These offsets must not be reused for
another game or build.
Both geometry hooks and the metadata hooks use `audio_detour.h`. After the
16-byte entry guard, only the first, naturally aligned instruction is replaced:
a release atomic store publishes an AArch64 `B` to a nearby stub. The stub's
absolute jump and the trampoline (one verified non-PC-relative instruction,
then a direct branch to entry+4) are complete, instruction-cache flushed and RX
before publication. The original-call pointer is published first. Remaining
entry instructions are unchanged, so workers already past the entry can finish
normally. `/proc/self/maps` supplies free gaps, clipped to the ranges of both
branches. Page-aligned candidates are tried outward from the target (lower
address first on equal distances) with `MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE`; EEXIST/EINVAL
advance to the next candidate. Existing mappings are never replaced, and a
kernel that ignores the flag and relocates a mapping has that result unmapped.
If no candidate works, that hook is skipped without changing its entry. No ELF
page-slack fallback is used: zero bytes alone cannot establish that padding is
outside all section content, and the loaded program headers do not prove this.
Every mprotect result is checked. Failures before entry publication free the
mapping. If restoring RX after publication fails, the entry word is restored,
its instruction cache is flushed, and restoring RX is attempted again. The
mapping and original-call pointer must then remain valid until process exit:
a worker may already have followed the published branch. Freeing them without
quiescing those threads would introduce a use-after-unmap. A persistent kernel
mprotect failure can leave the entry page RWX. Each hook failure logs its target
and failing operation once; metadata installation is attempted once per verified
library. Allocation failure reports the closest eligible free page, last
attempted address, actual mmap result, errno and attempt count. Null closest and
zero attempts mean no eligible free gap. Protection failures identify stub RX,
entry RWX, or entry RX, including the rollback RX errno (zero means it succeeded).
This exceptional rollback cannot provide immediate reclamation or guarantee RX
when the kernel refuses it. The previous hint-based publication build failed installation on the Steam
Frame; this gap-search replacement has host validation only.
This is separate from the existing [audio metadata retirement repair](AUDIO_METADATA.md).
It does not change the decoder, acoustic processing, tracking, foveation,
resolution, refresh rate, or other games' recipes. Temporary input dumps, native
parser bypasses and redundant late copies used during investigation are not
included. Production logs are limited to installation and the first four
copy/completion pairs. No game assets are included in the repository.
The `frame.adapter` package revision increases only for Batman. Existing Batman
installs therefore offer **Update on Frame**; other games are not marked outdated
by this repair. Updating/rebuilding Batman installs the new adapter through the
normal path; no launcher script or additional option is needed.
## Validation
- Native regressions cover deferred and inline completion, source destruction
before worker execution, concurrent loads, cleanup, allocation failure,
argument preservation, and rejection of unknown build IDs/function entries.
Host C tests also cover branch-range endpoints, stub/trampoline encoding,
publication order, synthetic maps with in-range/out-of-range/absent gaps and
adjacent mappings, outward placement order, EEXIST/EINVAL fallback, rejected
relocated mmap results and mprotect failure cleanup/rollback.
- On the headset, the affected save loaded successfully with the repair. Logs
showed private copies of 2,599,300, 159,020 and 628,088 bytes made before dispatch;
each original parser completed and each copy was released. Another 180,120-byte
geometry input also completed normally.
- The game continued for over seven minutes after that load with zero allocation
failures, rejected meshes or fatal signals. Acoustic geometry was loaded, not
disabled. That device test used the ownership repair with diagnostic guards;
none of the guards rejected a mesh. The production repair omits those guards.
- The rebuilt latest adapter passes the repository checks recorded in the PR;
the device result above is for the experimental build tested before integration.
This does not establish long-term stability or resolve the separately observed
whole-headset power-offs. Those require their own power/reset investigation.

# Controller buttons
> **Experimental.** The Frame's runtime accepts these bindings, but the modes haven't been tried in the headset on
> many games yet. If buttons stop working in a game, set it back to **SteamVR default** (Game settings →
> Controllers) and report it.
Quest games usually bind Quest Touch controllers. Steam Frame has a d-pad and View button on the left controller,
and an A/B/X/Y diamond and Menu button on the right. Without a game's own Frame bindings, SteamVR maps Touch X/A
to the bottom button and Touch Y/B to all three top buttons. View sends Touch Menu. The right X and Y therefore
send Touch B, rather than the left-hand X and Y of a Quest controller.
**Controller buttons** chooses an alternative for Quest games running through FrameBridge:
- **SteamVR default (0)** leaves SteamVR's Touch remapping in place. This is the initial default.
- **Mirror (1)** uses every face button. On each controller, bottom and outer send X/A; top and inner send Y/B, as on Quest controllers, whose second button sits up and toward the other hand.
- **Quest pair (2)** uses two face buttons per controller, placed like Touch's: left X = d-pad down, Y = d-pad
right; right A = A, B = X. The other face buttons send no Touch input.
![Quest Touch reference and the three Steam Frame button mappings](images/controllers/quest-buttons.svg)
The small label identifies the physical button; the larger label is the Touch input the game receives. Blue is
X/A, orange is Y/B or Menu, and a dash means no Touch input. Left and right refer to the hand holding the controller.
<!-- quest-buttons-table:start -->
| Frame input | SteamVR default (0) | Mirror (1) | Quest pair (2) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Left d-pad ↑ | Y | Y | — |
| Left d-pad ↓ | X | X | X |
| Left d-pad ← | Y | X | — |
| Left d-pad → | Y | Y | Y |
| Left View | Menu | Menu | Menu |
| Right A (bottom) | A | A | A |
| Right B (right) | B | A | — |
| Right X (left) | B | B | B |
| Right Y (top) | B | B | — |
| Right Menu | — | — | — |
| Left bumper | — | — | — |
| Right bumper | — | — | — |
<!-- quest-buttons-table:end -->
The table describes button clicks and face-button touches. View sends Menu click only. Triggers, grip pressure,
thumbsticks, tracked poses and vibration keep their corresponding Touch bindings.
## Choose a mode
For one game, open its **Game settings → Controllers → Controller buttons**. Choose **Use global default** to
follow Settings, or select a specific mode to keep an override for that game. An explicit **SteamVR default**
keeps mode 0 even when the global choice is Mirror or Quest pair.
For the library default, open **Settings → Controllers**. The diagram follows the selected mode. New installs
and configuration updates use this default for games without an override. With a Frame connected, choose
**Apply to installed games now** to send it to installed Quest games that follow the global default. Overrides
are kept. Changing the default does not mark every game as needing an update.
Changes take effect at the **next launch**. Close and relaunch a running game.
Games installed before this feature need **Update on Frame** once for the mode to work.
The CLI can change an installed game's runtime setting:
```sh
frameport settings <pkg> quest_buttons=2
```
Use `0` for SteamVR default or `1` for Mirror. This command writes the installed settings directly; it does not
save a per-game recipe override. To keep the value through later installs and global applies, also save it in
the recipe, or use Game settings:
```sh
frameport recipe <pkg> --set quest_buttons=2
```
## Limits
- SteamVR's binding UI can still override these suggested bindings. Check custom bindings if the result differs
from the diagram.
- The d-pad has a single touch sensor: a thumb resting on it touches X and Y together. The right controller's
face buttons sense touch one by one.
- Bumpers have no Touch counterpart and are unbound. Thumbrest touch is dropped; the Frame profile has no
corresponding input. System buttons keep their runtime role.
- Mirror and Quest pair require the Frame runtime's `XR_VALVE_frame_controller_interaction` extension. If it is
absent, FrameBridge logs that fact and leaves SteamVR's remap in place.
- Games suggesting their own Frame Controller bindings keep those bindings and continue seeing the Frame
Controller profile, even if they also suggest Touch bindings. These modes do not replace the game's own mapping.
- Touch suggestions using bare pose, trigger, squeeze or button paths are translated too; explicit components
such as `/pose`, `/value`, `/click` and `/touch` are also supported where the mapping provides them.
- Finger proximity emulation (`proximity_emul`) continues to work with Mirror and Quest pair. Dropping the
unsupported thumbrest path does not disable proximity emulation from the other touch inputs.
- The setting applies to Quest VR games, including 32-bit games through the bridge. It does not change PC VR or
flat Android Steam Input layouts.
The mapping follows [Valve's Frame Controller input reference](https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamhardware/steamframe/input)
and the [shared mapping data](input/quest_buttons.json). To regenerate the diagram, app illustrations and table,
run `uv run python scripts/controller_diagram.py`; add `--check` to verify them without writing files.

# 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.
## Per-game language (GitHub #354, 2026-10-17)
Asgard's Wrath 2 starts in English with no in-game language choice. Headless verification used Transformers:
`LEPTON_GFXRECON_FP_LOCALE="0\npersist.sys.locale=de-DE"` gave container
`getprop persist.sys.locale = de-DE`, while `ro.product.locale` remained `en-US`. The game's VM started with
`user.locale=de-DE`, Android configuration was `[de_DE]`, and Unreal logged `Locale=de_DE`.
Patch `device.language` sets this boot property independently of `device.hide_navbar`.
Text/voice switching in individual games, including Asgard's Wrath 2, still needs headset verification.
Recipes store the selection as `patches: {device.language: {tag: de-DE}}`. The catalog's `device` field is a
list of patch IDs, with dedicated fields for some parameterized device settings (files, environment, config sync,
foveation); it has no field for a language tag. Catalog import/export cannot currently preserve this selection.
## 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). The shared detour now publishes one aligned AArch64 branch to a range-checked nearby stub, with a one-instruction trampoline; protection failures roll back (published mappings must remain alive for in-flight threads). See [AUDIO_GEOMETRY.md](AUDIO_GEOMETRY.md) for failure limits and host validation; this publication change has not been device-tested. Original repair 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/#385, 2026-10-17):** the Frame's runtime refuses `faceCount=6`
swapchains (-2, XR_ERROR_RUNTIME_FAILURE). `cube_standin` (default on, `native/adapter/cube_standin.c`)
serves refused cubes with a GLES cube texture in the app's context or a Vulkan cube-compatible image.
This prevents OVRPlugin's empty-image-list crash (Budget Cuts Ultimate; Vulkan UNDERDOGS).
`cube_quads` (int, default 1) now copies mip 0 into six runtime quad swapchains, replacing each cube at
its original layer-list position. Face order is +X, -X, +Y, -Y, +Z, -Z; inward-facing quad right/up axes
match GL cube s/t. Vulkan copies reverse rows for its top-left quad image origin. The cube orientation
rotates the box; its centre follows the stereo view midpoint in the layer's space at displayTime
(falls back to the space origin without valid tracking). Faces are 100 m square at 50 m distance.
Eye visibility and layer flags are retained. Quads submitted by the game retain their order.
The Frame draws quads above **every** projection, regardless of order. This implementation conservatively
drops cubes whenever any projection is submitted, including alpha projections: it supports cube-only
loading screens with optional quad overlays, not skyboxes behind gameplay. Multiple cubes of the same
size/format share six swapchains, using separate array slices so their images cannot overwrite one another.
Each pool is copied once per frame. Other sizes need another six swapchains; runtime allocation refusal
(particularly near its ~15-swapchain cap) frees partial allocations and disables that pool until reset.
Pools are freed on stand-in creation/destruction, xrEndSession and session destruction; stand-ins are also freed at
session destruction. Set `cube_quads=0` for the previous drop-only behaviour.
Look for `cube_quads: created six ... face swapchains (GLES|Vulkan)` and
`cube_quads: submitting cube as six quads (half-size=50m, mip=0)`. Refusals log
`cube_quads: face swapchain creation failed (result=...); dropping cube layers`; mixed frames log
`cube_quads: skipping cube with projection; preserving scene visibility` once.
Host math/settings/artifact checks and Android builds are available; no device test yet. Headset checks
still needed: face seams/orientation, sRGB/alpha, GLES context availability, Vulkan synchronization and
loading-to-gameplay transitions (HardBullet's 1024²/32² Vulkan cubes; Budget Cuts GLES).
## 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).
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, and since #293 on any release failure (BattleTalent, Unity 2021.3: the release dies exit 134 in CsFileUtils.GetTypeName after making the folders, no .cs; `il2cpp._run` = non-zero exit or no .cs is unreadable; never with FRAMEPORT_CPP2IL; caches holding "every class missing" are re-run). 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.
## 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]`.
## XR_FB_color_space (#336)
OutRun Quest VR (`org.outrun.quest.vr`, its own Khronos loader, no OVRPlugin) logs "Rec.709 color space unavailable" right after xrCreateInstance and quits ~20 s later without a session: the Frame's runtime (and OVRPort's dispatcher) list no XR_FB_color_space. Adapter setting `fb_color_space` (off by default, `native/adapter/color_space.c`) offers the extension when the runtime lacks it, strips it from the runtime's create info, fills XrSystemColorSpacePropertiesFB with Rec.709 and answers xrEnumerateColorSpacesFB / xrSetColorSpaceFB (no conversion: the runtime has no API for it). The functions are reachable through FrameBridge's xrGetInstanceProcAddr and `framebridge_extension_proc` (xrshim); OVRPort's fixed dispatcher table can't forward them, hence off by default. Not yet tried on the device (the build was not downloaded: it ships Sega's game data). Log: `color_space: emulating XR_FB_color_space`.
## Per-game headset identity (#373, 2026-10-17)
Owner decision: all Quest / OVRPort conversions default to Quest 3; Customize → Headset model offers Quest 3,
Quest 3S, Quest Pro and Quest 2. Rebuild and reinstall after changing it. Rift, Linux and 2D apps are excluded.
Target: Asgard's Wrath 2's **Enhanced Rendering Features** and **90 Hz Mode**. This implementation has static and
host tests; unlocking those options and actual 90 Hz presentation still need an owner headset check.
Device evidence supplied by the owner (headless Transformers, OVRPort runtime 3.4.3-aa54c3f): Lepton's image already
sets `ro.product.model=Lepton`, manufacturer `Valve`, device `lepton_arm64_only`. A `LEPTON_GFXRECON_*` boot-property
line cannot replace existing write-once `ro.*` values. Removed the WIP headset property injection. Android
`Build.MODEL` stays Lepton. A general app-start dex/reflection override is follow-up: the existing `Dex.return_early`
tooling replaces method bodies, but does not supply a universal early startup hook that safely sets Build fields.
OVRPlugin logged `venderId 10291, systemName Oculus Quest2` even with FrameBridge rewriting the name. The APK's
`lib/arm64-v8a/libopenxr_loader.so` dispatcher sits above FrameBridge: `xrGetSystemProperties` at VA `0x18554`
overwrites the name (`0x18620`–`0x18638`, string at file/VA `0x6034`) and returns its own
`XR_META_headset_id` (`0x186e8` loads address `0x29338`, `0x18778`–`0x1877c` copies 16 bytes;
UUID file offset `0x21338`). Vendor id remains 10291. A lower-layer-only override cannot fix those answers.
Disassembly of the supplied Unreal `libOVRPlugin.so`:
- `ovrp_GetSystemHeadsetType` at `0x251730` calls `ovrp_GetSystemHeadsetType2` at `0x247bb0`, which calls the
`0x2590b0` thunk → `0x292f80`.
- System properties' name is copied to the global std::string `0x62d328` at `0x261b30`–`0x261b3c`.
`0x261b9c`–`0x261bb4` stores the headset-id-present flag (`0x62d2c0`) and UUID (`0x62d2c1`).
- `0x292f80` checks that flag. When present it compares the UUID, in inline 64-bit constants, returning
Quest 1 = 8 (`0x293134`), Quest 2 = 9 (`0x2931ac`), Pro = 10 (`0x2931b8`),
Quest 3 = 11 (`0x2931c4`), Quest 3S = 12 (`0x293060`–`0x29309c`). Unknown UUID → 9.
- Only without the UUID does `0x2930a8` fall back to systemName (older Quest/Pro names, default 9).
`0x292d60` is a separate product-name normalizer: it recognizes newer Meta names but returns the generic
`Meta Quest` for known Quest products. It is not the headset-type selector. Android Build is not consulted
in the traced headset-type path.
- Cross-check: the available armv7 OVRPlugin's Thumb entry `0x120c5c` → thunk `0x12bc38` → `0x148ac8`
likewise tests UUID first (16-byte comparisons), then name at `0x148b1a`. This older build recognizes through
Quest 3 (return 11 at `0x148b14`), not Quest 3S. It is consistent with the Unreal mapping for Quest 2/Pro/3.
Raw XrUuidEXT byte order (hyphens just group sequential bytes; do not swap GUID fields):
| Model | UUID | Unreal headset type |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Quest 2 | `3064f239-15ed-4722-a659-5ea1ecd899c2` | 9 |
| Quest Pro | `b58443c9-df86-40cd-8918-2a278e18ab71` | 10 |
| Quest 3 | `082746ba-a071-4cf7-8f87-bade5cce43ce` | 11 |
| Quest 3S | `9510492b-0d42-4872-bcf4-fb1a8def6f0e` | 12 |
`device.headset_model` now applies at APK stage after FrameBridge. It verifies original name, UUID and the
instructions loading both in the known dispatcher before writing either. Unknown builds fail with an explicit
unsupported-dispatcher message and a Quest 2 escape hatch. Same-size data edits only: NUL-padded 14-byte name and
16-byte UUID. Quest Pro uses the short dispatcher label `Quest Pro` because `Meta Quest Pro` plus NUL needs 15 bytes;
its UUID selects type 10. Quest 2 changes no dispatcher bytes and adds no embedded headset setting (native default preserves the old name).
FrameBridge retains the full standard name override
for apps calling it directly; setting 2 preserves its original result. No UUID extension is invented in FrameBridge.
Owner verification: rebuild/reinstall Asgard's Wrath 2 with Quest 3 selected. Capture the OVRPlugin line containing
`venderId 10291, systemName Meta Quest 3`, and its `HeadsetId:` line (16 hex bytes matching Quest 3 above).
Capture any game/OVRPlugin headset-type line: expect `Meta_Quest_3` / `Quest_3` / numeric 11 if the build logs it;
absence of such a line is not proof of failure. In the headset check both named graphics options become available,
can be enabled and persist after restart. Check actual runtime refresh/pacing separately when selecting 90 Hz;
identity alone does not implement refresh-rate support. Rebuild with Quest 2 for the control: original `Oculus Quest2`,
original Quest 2 UUID, type 9 if logged, and previous option visibility. Also smoke-test a Unity OVRPlugin game
with the default Quest 3 choice for regressions. No device access was used during implementation.
## Mixed reality: scanned rooms
Live floor coverage (agent v104) is enabled by default for manual and game-requested scans; the capture
payload accepts `preview: false`, and `frameport frame room scan --no-preview` disables it. A world-locked,
upward-facing 6 m square at floor height follows the current raw-to-STAGE calibration and stays centred on the
scan's first recorded camera position. Every 16th depth vertex contributes to raw-space 10 cm voxels; at most once
per second, newly occupied cells redraw a 256×256 RGBA map in one colour (FramePort's secondary blue), each cell a
filled 10 cm square, only the opacity telling floor (<0.3 m, faint), raised surfaces (0.3–1.5 m) and tall surfaces
(>1.5 m, strongest, the room's outline) apart; unseen transparent. Overlays have no depth (they draw over hands and
passthrough), so the map stays faint; three colours in 3x3 blotches clashed in the owner's first run. It shows
coverage, not a validated room boundary. IVROverlay_028 slots 1/3/20/22/33/43/62 (OpenVR 2.15.6 header)
create/destroy/sort order (1, below the scan prompts' 10)/set width/set absolute STAGE transform/show/upload raw
pixels. Each upload is 256 KiB (at most 256 KiB/s); timing for the first
20 uploads and every tenth thereafter, plus failures, goes to `rooms/scans/scan-*.fprs.log` and the built room’s `scan.log`. Overlay errors or an
upload taking over 50 ms disable the preview while capture continues; headset appearance and upload cost still
need device validation.
When an MR game asks for a room scan, FramePort scans in the headset and FrameBridge loads the new room before
answering the game. If no scanner answers within five seconds, the game gets the stored room. Set
`scene_scan_request=0` to always use the stored room. A scan that starts but fails keeps the old room and reports
a capture failure to the game.
**Mixed reality: scanned rooms (agent v92, 2026-10-16, branch mr-scene; docs/mr/):** Quest MR games read the room
through Meta's scene APIs; the Frame offers none, and Valve's chaperone is no room (2D outline raised to 2.43 m, often
the default 1 m circle -> the Android runtime's STAGE rect falls back to 1x1 m; XRService's plane detection is
horizontal-only, its persistent map sparse ORB, its XRIPC single-client; cameras are XRService's alone,
IVRTrackedCamera gives no frames). **The passthrough's RoomView 3D depth mesh is readable** (docs/mr/PHASE0.md:
IVRBlockQueue_005 `/xrservice/roomview3d/meshData|meshLayout`, metadata through the C++ `IVRPaths_002` on the block
handle, `meshIsUpToDate` on the queue handle; 132x128 fan, ~30/s; raw->standing moves during a session -> convert
with the final one), so FramePort scans rooms itself: agent `room_capture` (Background/Overlay OpenVR app, prompts =
artifacts/roomscan/*.png via IVROverlay_028 slots 1/3/20/22/35/43/44/63, `scripts/mr/render_prompts.py`) -> `.fprs`
dump -> `fp_roomscan` (native/roomscan, freestanding, offline) -> `room.txt` + `room-mesh.bin`
(docs/mr/ROOM_FORMAT.md; outline = positive shoelace in x-z, wall inward normal (-dz, dx)) in
`~/.local/share/frameport/rooms/<universe>/`; launch.sh copies it next to settings.conf (`_room_sync`, games with
`scene_emul`); FrameBridge (`scene_room.c/scene_meta.c/scene_anchors.c`) serves N walls, volumes (BOUNDED_3D),
planes, GLOBAL_MESH (XR_META_spatial_entity_mesh), XR_META discovery/persistence (newer Meta SDKs and MRUK), anchors
saved in `files/framebridge-anchors.txt`; all through xrshim (OVRPort's dispatcher drops unknown META calls).
`scene_emul` is now suggested for every USE_SCENE/USE_ANCHOR_API game (migration `scene_emul_all`; NOPE and Pinball
FX had none). PC: Frame page "Room" card, `frameport frame room scan|status|from-boundary|import|export|build|show`.
Real data (owner's room, 2026-10-16): floor at 0, table surfaces, orthogonal walls found; the ceiling needs "look up".
Scan on request (agent v103): scene-emulation launchers run `_scan_watch` alongside the game. FrameBridge's
`framebridge-scan-request` in the game's external files directory gets an ack, then the existing prompted headset
capture/build flow saves and copies the new room before an `ok` result; errors, cancellation and timeout return
`failed`. Captures share a global lock, stale protocol files are cleared on launch, and the watcher stops with the
launcher. Logs: `<base>/scan-watch.log`. Device validation is still required.
PR #246 (@alicecatpaw, merged into mr-scene 2026-10-18): FrameBridge trims frames to maxLayerCount (Punch Fit sent
21+ layers; projection layers and FrameBridge's fade quad always stay), drops quads with zero size or an empty image
rect, and logs up to 10 quads with pose and swapchain. Two Unity patches, both only from a catalog recipe or the
user's choice: `frame.meta_depth_occlusion` (Depth API occlusion off; Laser Dance's lasers vanished up close) and
`frame.unity_scene_active_rooms` (OVRSceneManager's player-in-room check). The PR's own META discovery and boundary
visibility code was replaced by this branch's (`scene_meta.c`). The PR's recipes were checked on the author's Frame
only; open question: does OVRPort's dispatcher advertise XR_META_environment_depth (then a FrameBridge setting that
hides it would fix depth occlusion for every engine).
## Vulkan pipelines refused: Fossilize and Turnip (Transformers, #349)
Transformers Beyond Reality: Redux (Unreal, Vulkan) ended its first frames with Unreal's "Shader compilation failures
are Fatal." (2026-10-17, headless on the dev Frame). `vk_pipeline_log=1` showed every graphics pipeline failing in
pairs: the precache attempt with `VK_PIPELINE_CREATE_FAIL_ON_PIPELINE_COMPILE_REQUIRED_BIT` (flags 0x100) answers
`1000297000` (= VK_PIPELINE_COMPILE_REQUIRED, normal), the real compile answers `-1` (VK_ERROR_OUT_OF_HOST_MEMORY)
in the same millisecond, and the shim never logged a single success. The dumped SPIR-V was valid (spirv-val), one
module a constant-colour fragment shader. Ruled out in one run each: the app's VkPipelineCache, its
VkAllocationCallbacks (retry without either/both), Valve's VALVE_rpo/VALVE_fdm_injection (`device.foveation: off`).
Khronos' validation layer added a crash of its own (null deref in its vkCreateRenderPass2 on the game's create info,
the shim changed nothing there): don't use it for this game. Removing `VK_LAYER_fossilize` from GraphicsEnv's debug
layer list (`android::GraphicsEnv::setDebugLayers`, as `native/zinkfix` adds its layer) made the pipelines compile:
360 modules instead of 10, frames submitted. Two Fossilize instances are still created by other threads before the
engine loads the shim; they aren't the renderer's. About six pipelines with the game's multiview vertex shader
(module 12944, ViewIndex) still fail in Turnip; a blank fragment shader alone doesn't help, blank vertex + fragment
does. Settings `vk_no_fossilize` + `vk_pipeline_fallback` (catalog entry): headless RUNNING after 72 s at 72 fps.

## Quest controller mode (`quest_buttons`, 2026-10-17)
Adapter setting `quest_buttons` (0 SteamVR default, 1 Mirror, 2 Quest pair; contract docs/input/QUEST_BUTTONS.md,
user page docs/CONTROLLERS.md). FrameBridge enables `XR_VALVE_frame_controller_interaction` and, after a game's Touch
suggestion succeeds, suggests `/interaction_profiles/valve/frame_controller_valve` bindings translated from the
accepted Touch set (SteamVR uses a Frame binding before its own Touch remap: Touch B/Y on all three top buttons).
Headless check on the device (I Am Cat, Unity + OVRPlugin, mode 2, `input_diag=1`): the runtime offers and enables the
extension in a Lepton app, and accepts the generated Frame suggestion (`quest_buttons: frame_controller bindings
(mode 2, 27 bindings, 7 dropped): 0`); the game's Touch (34 paths) and hand-interaction suggestions were accepted as
before; 72 fps, no new errors. Translations as in the JSON at the time: left `x/*` -> `dpad_down/*`, `y/*` -> `dpad_left/*`,
`menu/click` -> `view/click`. Not provable headless (tracking needs the headset worn): that SteamVR then reads the
buttons from the Frame binding; one launch in the headset settles it.
Pitfall seen during the test: OVRPort runs from two sessions on the same data folder share
`overport-workspace/dec/working.apk` and fail at once (`OVRPort failed (exit 1)`, `FileAlreadyExistsException` in
OVRPort's own output, which the CLI doesn't print without a verbose reporter). Build one game at a time per data folder.
Headset round 2026-10-18 (owner, TestQuestControllers): the button mapping works. Owner's corrections, now in the JSON:
Quest's second button sits up and toward the other hand, so Quest pair = left Y on d-pad right, right B on X (Mirror
follows: X/A = bottom + outer, Y/B = top + inner). The d-pad has one capacitive sensor: a thumb on it touches every
direction, so X and Y touch light together (left as is, hardware limit); the right face buttons sense touch singly.
SteamVR's own Touch remap (`/opt/steamvr/drivers/frame_controller/resources/input/frame_controller_remapping.json`,
layout `oculus_touch`) is the diagram's "SteamVR default": X -> d-pad down, Y -> d-pad left/right/up, A -> A,
B -> B/X/Y, Menu -> View, plus trigger click -> bumper. Games with their own Valve binding file in that folder
(Beat Saber, Batman, Accounting+, In Death, ...) use that file instead.

## Can I back up a game's saves?
Yes. Steam doesn't sync Quest games' saves, so FramePort copies them to your PC: **Back up saves** next to Play on
the installed game's page, 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).
In **Settings → Data**, **Choose backup folder…** selects a different folder, including a local Drive or Nextcloud
sync folder. FramePort checks that it can write there. **Use the default** resets the location. Existing backups stay
where they are and remain listed for restoring; retention only removes old backups in the currently selected folder.
FramePort writes local files; your cloud client handles uploading them.
**Back up saves when a game closes** (Settings → Data, off by default) keeps the newest three changed snapshots per
game on the Frame, even while FramePort is closed. Connect once after changing this setting to apply it to the Frame.
New snapshots are copied to your backup folder when FramePort connects or polls the connection, marked **automatic**,
and count toward the same backup limit. Unchanged saves are skipped. A snapshot captures what the game wrote to disk;
it cannot recover progress a forcibly closed game never saved.
**Restore saves…** puts one back: it replaces the game's saves on the Frame. The Frame keeps a copy of the saves it
had, so **Undo last restore** in the same window takes you back. When you uninstall a game and tick *Also delete its

## Room data
Live floor coverage (agent v104) is enabled by default for manual and game-requested scans; the capture
payload accepts `preview: false`, and `frameport frame room scan --no-preview` disables it. A world-locked,
upward-facing 6 m square at floor height follows the current raw-to-STAGE calibration and stays centred on the
scan's first recorded camera position. Every 16th depth vertex contributes to raw-space 10 cm voxels; at most once
per second, newly occupied cells redraw a 256×256 RGBA map in one colour (FramePort's secondary blue), each cell a
filled 10 cm square, only the opacity telling floor (<0.3 m, faint), raised surfaces (0.3–1.5 m) and tall surfaces
(>1.5 m, strongest, the room's outline) apart; unseen transparent. Overlays have no depth (they draw over hands and
passthrough), so the map stays faint; three colours in 3x3 blotches clashed in the owner's first run. It shows
coverage, not a validated room boundary. IVROverlay_028 slots 1/3/20/22/33/43/62 (OpenVR 2.15.6 header)
create/destroy/sort order (1, below the scan prompts' 10)/set width/set absolute STAGE transform/show/upload raw
pixels. Each upload is 256 KiB (at most 256 KiB/s); timing for the first
20 uploads and every tenth thereafter, plus failures, goes to `rooms/scans/scan-*.fprs.log` and the built room’s `scan.log`. Overlay errors or an
upload taking over 50 ms disable the preview while capture continues; headset appearance and upload cost still
need device validation.
- SteamVR on the Frame has no Meta scene/anchor extensions. Its chaperone supplies only a 2D outline raised to
2.43 m, without furniture, ceiling or a room mesh. Valve's default boundary is a 20-point circle of roughly 1 m
radius; FramePort refuses to treat it as a room.
- FrameBridge's `scene_emul=1` serves saved room data, with a guardian box when no room is available. OVRPort's
loader only dispatches functions in its own table: newer Meta entry points go through FramePort's extension shim.
MRUK uses discovery (`xrDiscoverSpacesMETA`, older versions `xrQuerySpacesFB`) and requests Space Setup when
discovery returns no rooms. Volumes hang below their top-face anchor in Meta's coordinate convention.
- Room files use STAGE coordinates (metres, +Y up, floor y=0, -Z forward). The format contract is
[mr/ROOM_FORMAT.md](mr/ROOM_FORMAT.md). On the Frame: `~/.local/share/frameport/rooms/<universe>/room.txt`,
optional `room-mesh.bin` and `scan.log`; `rooms/current` points to the most recently saved room.
- A room belongs to its chaperone universe. The agent reads the last universe switch from `vrserver.txt`, falling
back to the newest universe in `~/.config/openvr/config/chaperone_info.vrchap`; dummy 424242 means none.
A matching room is selected first, else `current`; the app reports `aligned: false` after a universe change.
- Quest launchers copy that room beside `settings.conf` before Lepton starts; FrameBridge reads
`dirname($FRAMEBRIDGE_CONFIG)/room.txt`. Stale copies are removed if no room exists or emulation is disabled.
Each game's persistent anchors stay in `/sdcard/Android/data/<pkg>/files/framebridge-anchors.txt`.
- With `scene_emul`, launch.sh starts `_scan_watch <pkg>` after Lepton, closing fd 9; its exit trap stops the
watcher, which also exits if the launcher disappears. It polls once a second and logs to `<base>/scan-watch.log`.
In `<base>/lepton-data/external/Android/data/<pkg>/files/`, FrameBridge writes `framebridge-scan-request`
(`request <id> <unix_seconds>`); the watcher clears stale request/ack/result files at startup, writes
`framebridge-scan-ack` (`ack <id>`), reuses the headset capture/build worker, stores the current room and copies
it beside settings.conf before atomically writing `framebridge-scan-result` (`ok <id>` or `failed <id> <reason>`).
A global `rooms/.scan.lock` excludes concurrent captures, including manual scans; `rooms/.lock` still protects
room publication. Launcher exit cancels the scan; a 350-second deadline leaves time for the six-minute protocol timeout.
- Frame → Room and `frameport frame room` manage rooms. `from-boundary` creates walls without furniture;
`import` / `export` transfer room files; `show` writes an SVG preview; `build <dump.fprs>` syncs the bundled
`fp_roomscan` by SHA-256 and runs it on the Frame with `--offline`. `scan` = agent `room_capture`: records the
RoomView meshes (`/xrservice/roomview3d/meshData` + `/meshLayout`, `IVRBlockQueue_005`) while in-headset prompts
guide the player, then builds the room from that recording.
## Save backups (Quest games, agent v101, 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.
- PC destination: `saves.folder` (empty = `<data>/save-backups`); Settings → Data has an awaited folder picker,
a default reset and a write probe. Old destinations (`saves.previous_folders`) stay listed; switching never moves
or deletes files. `saves.keep` defaults to 10 and prunes only the selected destination.
- `saves.auto` defaults off. Connection and 30 s poll hooks sync its value using `save_snapshot_settings` (flag
`~/.local/share/frameport/save-snapshots/enabled`). Updated and newly written Quest launchers call `_snapshot_close`
after stopping the container, inside the EXIT trap, with the launch lock still held on fd 9. The worker verifies
that fd against `<base>/.launch.lock` and passes it through `podman unshare`; another launch cannot run meanwhile.
`timeout -k 5 90` bounds the whole worker. PC VR/Linux launchers have no snapshot step.
- Snapshots use the same archive builder, exclusions and 64 MiB/file, 4 GiB/total limits as manual backups.
File paths/sizes/content hashes form a fingerprint; unchanged saves skip compression. Complete snapshots are
atomically published under `~/.local/share/frameport/save-snapshots/<pkg>/<ns>-<sha256>.tar.gz`, with fingerprint
sidecars. The newest three per game are retained; interrupted `.part` files are overwritten on the next attempt.
- `save_snapshots` lists immutable snapshots oldest first per game; `_fetch_save_snapshot '<json>'` streams one
(archive stdout, result JSON stderr). PC `install/saves.sync_snapshots` runs in the background, verifies the archive
hash and package, imports it as a normal backup marked `automatic`, and applies `saves.keep`. A local
`<data>/save-snapshots-synced.json` digest ledger prevents reimporting snapshots after pruning or deleting backups.
Failures leave snapshots on the Frame for the next poll. This path does no disk/SSH work in rendering.

### Frame Controller input
The runtime offers `XR_VALVE_frame_controller_interaction`, with interaction profile
`/interaction_profiles/valve/frame_controller_valve`. [Valve's input reference](https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamhardware/steamframe/input)
describes two gamepad halves. Under `/user/hand/<hand>/input/`:
- Left: `dpad_up`, `dpad_down`, `dpad_left`, `dpad_right`, `view` (click and touch).
- Right: `a`, `b`, `x`, `y`, `menu` (click and touch). The face diamond is A bottom, B right, X left, Y top.
- Both: `system`, `bumper`; `squeeze` and `trigger` (click, touch, value); `thumbstick` (vector, x, y, click,
touch); `grip/pose`, `aim/pose`. Haptics use `/user/hand/<hand>/output/haptic`.
SteamVR prefers a game's Frame Controller binding. Without one, its Touch remap sends left d-pad down as Touch X
and left/up/right as Touch Y; right A as Touch A and X/Y/B as Touch B. Left View sends Touch Menu.
FrameBridge's `quest_buttons` preference (`0` default, `1` Mirror, `2` Quest pair) enables the extension when offered
and suggests a Frame binding translated from the game's Touch suggestions. Common pressure/trigger/thumbstick,
pose and haptic paths keep their Touch counterparts; thumbrest touch and system click are dropped, bumpers stay
unbound. The player's SteamVR custom bindings can override suggestions. This works on both bridge ABIs, without
the arm64-only extension shim. See [Controller buttons](CONTROLLERS.md) and the [mapping contract](input/QUEST_BUTTONS.md).

## Shared foveation controls (tested 2026-10-12)
Under a Quest game's **Game settings → Picture**, choose **Foveated rendering → Eye-tracked**, then **Save**.
Changes apply at the next game start.
The area selector now uses Valve's supported `FOVE_LEVEL` presets (GitHub #394; binary analysis
2026-10-17). Default leaves the runtime choice alone; on the shared injection path this is `lo`.
The old `FOVE_INNER`/`FOVE_OUTER` radius exports had no effect: Lepton does not pass them through,
and the layer does not read them. The previously documented 0.30/0.60, 0.25/0.50, 0.20/0.40
radius pairs do **not** describe the generated shared-injection density map.
The inspected arm64 `libVkLayer_VALVE_fdm_injection.so` has these semantics (virtual addresses):
- `init_fdm_fove_level` at `0x1cdf4` calls the cached option reader, then
`debug_parse_flags_option` (`0x21d74`) with table `0x27e70`: named tokens `lo` → 1,
`med` → 2, `hi` → 3. It does not call atoi/strtol. Unset, empty, unknown and numeric
strings parse to zero and retain the current profile (initialized to 1 at `0x1ce74`).
Tokens are case-sensitive and separated by non-alphanumeric/non-underscore characters;
matching values are ORed, so combinations can alias another profile. `all` also yields 3;
`help` prints the table and returns zero. Use a single preset token.
- Profile selection at `0x1918c–0x19364` uses normalized **rectangles**, not circular radii.
`lo` has a full-density center rectangle `(x=.364, y=.367, width=.295, height=.286)`
(constant at `0xe440`), then density byte `0x76` outside. `med` uses rectangles from
`0xe988`: sizes `.250×.245`, `.295×.286`, `.386×.367`, with density bytes
`0xff`, `0xa8`, `0x76` and `0x50` outside. `hi` uses `0xe9b8`: sizes
`.246×.211`, `.281×.246`, `.351×.316`, `.386×.351`, with bytes
`0xff`, `0xa8`, `0x76`, `0x50`, then `0x38` outside. Each byte is written to both
R8G8 density channels. All three retain a full-density center (`0xff`); medium/high make it smaller
and reduce peripheral density more. Coordinates are sampled on the density-map grid (`0x19378` onward).
- `FDM_DEBUG` flags `lo`/`med`/`hi` also select presets (high takes precedence), but an
explicit recognized `FOVE_LEVEL` overrides them (`0x1ce14`). `enable` gates injection;
`disable_offsets` fixes the gaze position (`0x1b6c8`), and `yflip` flips the vertical
offset (`0x1b9b8`). These three flags do not resize the profile.
- `FDM_SWAPCHAIN_SIZE` is parsed by `atoi` (`0x1c518`), clamped to nonnegative, and
seeds a known swapchain size (`0x1ccf8`). It is a size/matching hint, not a radius.
The synthetic map is square with side `ceil(size/32)` (`0x19048–0x19088`); image
association also matches this tile size (`0x16c78`). Changing render resolution changes
the pixel extent, tile quantization and potentially the matched render target/map. This can
change the visible diagnostic area without making the ignored radius exports effective;
a matched device capture is needed to establish which path a particular game used.
Per-game library preferences now store `level`. Legacy radius choices are translated on read
(and written as `level` on Save): nearest old nominal .30 → lo, .25 → med, .20 → hi,
with larger values clamped by nearest choice; zero or unknown/invalid values → Default.
This preserves approximate intent, not a claim that these presets implement those radii.
Explicit `level` wins. Obsolete radius exports are removed from managed launchers.
For device verification, hold game scene, render resolution and gaze constant; compare explicit
`lo`, `med`, `hi` across fresh game starts (Default should match lo absent another runtime override).
First use Fixed for a stable comparison, then Eye-tracked to check gaze following. Enable
**Darken coarse fragments (test)** and adapter `snapshot=N` to capture submitted eye images headlessly
every N seconds (GLES only, left eye at quarter size); compare the undarkened center and peripheral bands. Existing adapter
builds need diagnostic support installed. Turn the test and snapshots off before benchmarking.
Agent `FOVEATION_ENV_KEYS` must include `"FOVE_LEVEL"` for launcher updates via `set_settings`.
Under a Quest game's Advanced patches, choose **Foveated rendering → Eye-tracked**, then **Update on Frame**.
The full-resolution area selector defaults to **Default (30% radius)**: no radius override, preserving the

### Foveation user preferences (discussion #365)
Game settings → Picture provides Default / Eye-tracked / Fixed / Off, a runtime profile, and an advanced diagnostic switch.
`set_settings` (agent 98) atomically rewrites just the managed launcher exports and records them in deployment.json;
no APK rebuild, reinstall or live device intervention is needed. Changes apply at the next start. Default restores
recipe/catalog launcher defaults; explicit preferences win. One-time library migration extracts old recipe choices
and leaves internal APK compatibility support. Catalog defaults (including Climb 2 and Batman) still apply to new
entries. Shared working configs omit `device.foveation` entirely.
APK-side: adapter builds automatically prepare Batman's hash-verified allocation fix and Climb 2's
renderer-guarded private bridge for verified builds, independently of the runtime choice. Unknown versions skip
automatic compatibility edits; explicit catalog requests still fail validation rather than guessing offsets. FrameBridge
builds include the dormant diagnostic layer (activated only by `FRAMEPORT_FOVEATION_TEST=1`), so future test toggles
need only a launcher update. Existing builds need one normal update to acquire that support. Render resolution
(supersampling) changes the game's render resolution: higher is sharper but slower. Climb 2 foveation still requires
1.0 scale.
## Steam library scheduling
Agent v99 holds automatic shortcut restarts while the local app's
`~/.local/share/frameport-app/gui.alive` heartbeat is under ten seconds old, as well as while a game or Desktop Mode
is open. Closed/crashed GUIs expire; the existing twelve-hour hold limit still applies.
`library_mode` accepts `now` (default), `later`, and `off`; FramePort stores its preference as
`install.steam_library`. Later writes shortcuts and journals packages/removals in
`~/.local/share/frameport/library-pending.json`. Steam rewrites shortcuts.vdf on exit, so a user drop-in
`~/.config/systemd/user/steam.service.d/frameport-library.conf` reapplies the journal in ExecStartPre, after the
previous session has exited. ExecStartPost verifies the entries and uses the existing live devkit fallback if Steam
removed them. The journal is cleared only after success, and survives agent/app exit and reboot. The hooks share the
shortcut worker lock; an active worker performs its own write/verification instead. Both hook lines start with
`-` and run under `/usr/bin/timeout -k 5 20` (present on SteamOS; `-` ignores exit codes, including 127 for a missing
interpreter or agent, but not a hook that hangs until the unit's 90 s start timeout); ExecStartPre also has its own
SIGALRM deadline. ExecStartPost only starts the verification as the transient unit `frameport-library-verify`
(`--no-block`, RuntimeMaxSec 300), so Steam's start never waits for its Steam/devkit waits. The pre hook leaves
shortcuts.vdf alone when nothing is pending. The drop-in is removed (and the user manager reloaded) as soon as the
mode isn't `later` and nothing is pending, and by purge; an otherwise empty `steam.service.d` goes with it.
SteamOS 0.3.0 facts (checked 2026-10-16): Steam is the static user unit `/usr/lib/systemd/user/steam.service`
(Type=simple, Restart=always, TimeoutStartSec 90 s, its own `-` ExecStartPre lines; `extra_args.conf` drop-ins are
Valve's documented way to extend it), systemd 257; no user drop-ins exist by default.
This automatic application targets SteamOS's `steam.service`; if Steam is started outside that service, use
FramePort's Restart Steam now action to apply the journal safely.
Off skips new shortcuts (existing entries remain). Play in Off, and Play for a pending Later entry, starts launch.sh
in a detached user systemd unit, just as launch tests do, without adding a devkit entry. Steam/SteamVR must already
be running. This loses Steam's per-game overlay/controller setup and Exit game integration; use FramePort Monitor
to stop the game. This direct path has unit coverage; headset input/visual behaviour needs device validation.
