steamFrame.launchers.<desktop ID> takes the app's own entry (a Flatpak's
export, a Nix package's or a host file) and rewrites only its command lines
(hostEnv, env, flatpakArgs, args, wrappers) and the keys asked for
(mimeTypes, defaultFor, settings), so name, icon, translations and actions
stay the app's and follow its updates.
- Package entries are rewritten at build time; Flatpak/host file entries at
runtime by steam-frame-nix-launchers into
<session.runtimeDir>/steam-frame-nix/applications (tmpfs), on switch, at
login and when Flatpak installs/updates apps (path unit); the Home Manager
links point there.
- keyring.{enable,electron} replaces steamFrame.keyring.{flatpaks,programs}
(clean break: the old options fail with the new form).
- Firefox's launcher is the Flatpak's entry with the profile wrapper in
front (no --profile for the profile manager); Jellyfin's hardware
decoding sets flatpakArgs and env.
- cleanup --all removes the tmpfs entries.
- Check on copies of the real Element, KRDC, Firefox, gedit, Jellyfin and
Claude entries, quoting and generator behaviour.
README keeps intro, feature list linking docs/, install, two sessions,
usage, the complete options table, changes outside Nix, rollback,
uninstall. Each feature's details (problem, what you get, configuration,
limitations, how it works) move to its own page in docs/; docs/dashboard.md
is split per feature and docs/changes-outside-nix.md becomes
docs/cleanup.md.
The README is the complete user documentation again: features, install,
two sessions, usage, the full options table (and renamed options), every
feature with problem, usage, limitations, security and "remove when",
UI patches at user level (DevTools on the LAN, after a Steam update),
changes outside Nix, rollback and uninstall.
docs/ keeps only the technical side (how the patches work, writing
patches, signatures and the update procedure, the SteamVR debugger
mechanics, cleanup and installer internals), linked from each feature.
docs/options.md, two-sessions.md and desktop-integration.md are gone
(their content is in the README).
One page per feature group (sessions, keyboard, launcher menu, dashboard, SteamVR debugger, Firefox, Jellyfin, UI patches, changes outside Nix) and the full options table in docs/options.md.
