Google Daydream / Cardboard builds: detect and warn (GitHub #335 )

Analysis extra.google_vr (ANALYSIS_VERSION 20): manifest DAYDREAM/CARDBOARD categories, enableVrMode=com.google.vr.vrcore, libgvr.so / Cardboard SDK libs, GVR Java classes, Unity vr-device-list (not libgvraudio.so, which Quest games ship too). A build without Oculus support gets a warning (recipe notes, CLI, game page); never unsupported from the manifest. Triage gvr-not-supported for Unity's 'Google VR Error', the bridge's missing CardboardViewNativeImpl and VrCore binds. PLAYBOOK row, tests.

+# 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
+---
+active: true                    # false = nothing is shown (the fields are still checked)
+id: meetup-2026-11             # letters, digits, . _ -  — change it for every new announcement
+title: Steam Frame meetup on Discord  # required
+date: 2026-11-02T18:00:00Z      # required: when it was published (UTC; a bare date = midnight UTC)

+image_alt: The meetup poster    # optional: what the picture shows (screen readers)
+button: Join the meetup         # optional: an action button, with url
+url: https://example.com/meetup
+expires: 2026-11-30             # optional: not shown after this day (UTC, inclusive)
+---
+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`.

A build without Oculus support gets a warning (recipe notes, CLI, game page); never unsupported from the manifest.

spoopyghosty0	960da4469b	Announcements: a one-time pop-up in the app Source of truth: announcements/current.md on main (front matter: id, title, date, optional image/button/expires; Markdown body), read from raw GitHub every 6 h like the catalog, so a push reaches users without a release. Ships switched off (active: false). Shown only to people who used FramePort before the announcement's date, never on a first start; any close (X, click outside, Escape) dismisses that id for good, and a new announcement = a new id. Centred over the content area, right of the sidebar. announcements/README.md explains the file; ui_smoke.py --announcement renders it.	2026-10-16 09:23:46 -04:00
