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
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).

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

(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

UE 4.21 + OVRPlugin on VrApi 1.21): manifest requires `android.hardware.vr.headtracking` version 1
= "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).

X only; hidden-by-default components like `status` are skipped) → ~2 MB glb each, ~1 s. Not yet seen in a game (none

Both are default-on (parity classifies their rewrites as

(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
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 →
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.
**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).
**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
**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
**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
**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.
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:
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).
`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.
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.
notes:Mixed reality laser obstacle course; requires spatial data and room layout emulation (scene_emul=1). frame.meta_depth_occlusion keeps close lasers visible (its asset fixes only for the build they were made for); tested version not recorded (PR#246).
details:Mixed reality game that projects lasers across your room; needs Meta scene emulation and spatial data permission.
diagnosis:'The game is using a simple fallback room. Scan your room for mixed reality, or use Frame > Room > Use my play area for walls without furniture. A recorded scan can be imported until headset capture is available.'
diagnosis:'The game cannot discover a Meta room. Enable room layout (adapter.scene_emul), rebuild and reinstall for the updated extension shim, then save a room under Frame > Room.'
diagnosis:The game submits an offset projection viewport. With Valve foveation, dynamic resolution can move the sharp centre or expose a white edge. Keeping full resolution may help; it increases GPU load and needs the updated adapter and OVRPlugin shim in a rebuilt APK.
question:With foveated rendering enabled, was the sharp centre misplaced or was there a white line at the picture edge?

> **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.

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.
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.
