Claude 1639e7f3c6 Write the Steam Frame device checklist for any POSIX shell
The adb commands named the device through a PowerShell variable, which
fish and bash do not read; each line now names it, and two grep lines
pull the driver and the relevant extensions out of the vkjson dump.

Claude 6815b10122 Document the Steam Frame build
docs/steam-frame.md covers the steamFrame flavour: the CPU target and
why it excludes SVE, the Lepton entry activity and manifest, the Frame
controller map, the refresh rate and eye-tracked foveation, building and
installing, the device checklist (what to collect from the headset, the
log lines a first session should show, the open questions), and what a
native SteamOS build would need. OPENXR.md documents refresh_rate and
eye_tracked_foveation and the Frame controller profile; the Quest doc,
the Android README and the README point to it.

Claude b1a8b034d9 Centre foveation on the player's gaze on headsets with eye tracking
With [vr] eye_tracked_foveation (on by default on the Steam Frame, off
elsewhere) the runtime asks for XR_EXT_eye_gaze_interaction. When the
system reports an eye tracker, OpenXRInput binds the gaze pose and
locates it for each packet's display time, in the space the eye views
are located in; vr/eye_gaze.h turns it into tangents of each eye's own
view, which AuroraStereoFrame now carries (appended, after the existing
prefix).

Aurora centres the eye's fragment density map on the gaze snapped to a
cell of two map texels (about 3 degrees). Each eye keeps up to 32 maps,
one per cell looked at, so a glance back reuses its map; a new map is
bound once its upload completes, and until then the eye keeps the map
it had. Without a tracked gaze (a blink, no tracker, the setting off)
foveation centres on the forward direction exactly as before: the
forward maps are byte-identical.

Also logs every extension the OpenXR runtime offers at startup, so the
first Steam Frame session shows what SteamVR's Android runtime has.

Claude e626e0eceb Give the Steam Frame build its own passthrough default
SteamVR has no XR_FB_passthrough, so the Steam Frame build neither asks
for it nor offers the setting: [vr] passthrough defaults to false there,
and the F10/headset panel and the launcher hide the switch. The Frame
keeps the Android defaults that suit it (render scale 0.8, foveation
medium, the GX thread, object culling, performance level boost) and
starts at 120 Hz (previous commit).

Claude 8b98330485 Ask the headset for a configured refresh rate, 120 Hz on the Steam Frame
[vr] refresh_rate (Hz, 0 = the headset's own) is requested through
XR_FB_display_refresh_rate each time the session starts running and
whenever the setting changes, matched against the runtime's own list
within half a hertz. Setting it back to 0 restores the rate the session
started at. A rate that is not offered, or one the runtime declines, is
logged and changes nothing.

The game renders 60 frames a second, so at 120 Hz every frame shows for
exactly two refreshes, where 72 or 90 Hz hold some frames longer than
others. The Steam Frame build defaults to 120; every other build keeps
the headset's own rate unless the player picks one.

The F10/headset panel and the Android launcher's Headset section offer
the choice; the interpolation tooltip points at it.

Claude 150062280d Add a Steam Frame flavour of the Android app with Frame controller bindings
The Steam Frame runs Android apps through Lepton with SteamVR's OpenXR
runtime. A third headset flavour, steamFrame, targets it:

- -mcpu=cortex-x4+nosve for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 (its firmware does
  not expose SVE, which clang otherwise auto-vectorises with), from one
  flavour-to-CPU map that the kit export now reads instead of guessing
  from the variant name.
- MKW_ANDROID_HEADSET=steam_frame defines MKW_HEADSET_STEAM_FRAME for
  the runtime's own targets, for Frame-specific defaults.
- A manifest without the Horizon OS entries, and FrameEntryActivity as
  the single real MAIN/LAUNCHER activity with the Khronos and Oculus VR
  categories, which Lepton needs to start an app in VR. It opens the
  setup panel and, when the selected game can start, the game on top.
- XR_VALVE_frame_controller_interaction: the Frame controller profile
  with its left D-pad (new dpad_* actions, the Wii Remote's D-pad or the
  gamepad's), View as menu and the left shoulder as the panel button.
  Also requested on Windows for SteamVR streaming to a Frame.
- Build-Quest.ps1, Build-QuestGame.ps1 and Run-Quest.ps1 take
  -Headset frame.
