Flatpak installs record their outcome inside main's background job; failed
jobs are diagnostics too. The Privacy panel lives on the Tools page (#privacy
opens it), tab analytics use the four page names, and "Test it now?" reads the
install job's result.

- Anonymous PostHog analytics (ui/frame_telemetry.py): usage on by default
after a first-run notice; compatibility results and error details opt-in,
offered together by the notice's "Share more to help fix problems" button.
Random id, no person profiles or GeoIP, scrubbed text, an offline outbox,
and "Show what's been sent" in the new Privacy panel. Inert without a
project key, from a source checkout, or with DO_NOT_TRACK=1.
- APK installs now record install_failed when the APK itself won't install,
and offer a 20-second test after installing. Opted-in reports reach the
shared database through PostHog and `frame_compat_db.py sync`.
- The desktop app updates itself from published releases (app/updater.js):
update.json from releases/latest/download, SHA-256 checked, no downgrades;
macOS bundle swap, Windows NSIS, Linux AppImage, otherwise the release page.
scripts/publish-release.sh publishes a tested draft with its manifest.
- Report a problem (header button, Privacy panel, Help menu) files a GitHub
issue through the website's feedback API, with a previewed, scrubbed
diagnostics snapshot; activity and logs only when asked for.
Reviewed by GPT-6 Astra (xhigh, read-only) three times; all findings fixed.
Docs: docs/privacy.md, docs/releasing.md.

tests/fakeframe: a container that stands in for the Frame (Arch Linux, or
Arch Linux ARM on arm64) with sshd, rsync, Valve's steamos-devkit-service
and hooks (vendored unmodified), a fake Steam client for the devkit pipe and
the DevTools port (the app's JavaScript runs in Node against stand-in
SteamClient/appStore objects), stubs for steam, wpctl, flatpak, podman,
Lepton and friends, battery and thermal files under /sys, and fault
switches (fakeframe-ctl): pairing mode, approve/deny/timeout, Steam not
running, headset asleep, sshd off, disk full, runtimes missing. A second
container is the computer running Frame Control.
tests/e2e: 29 tests driving the real ui/server.py, frame_connect.py and
frame_titles.py against it; skipped unless FRAME_E2E=1. scripts/e2e.sh
builds, runs and tears down; CI runs it on ubuntu-24.04-arm.
tests/smoke + scripts/frame-smoke.sh: the core cases against a real Frame,
recorded with its BUILD_ID, cleaning up after itself; --pair to pair a
throwaway key. docs/testing.md describes the layers.

An iPhone can't run Python or ssh, but the Frame can. The app (ios/, SwiftUI)
connects with its own SSH key (Citadel), copies the server and helpers to
~/.cache/frame-control/<version> on the Frame once per version, starts
ui/server.py there with FRAME_LOCAL=1 on the Frame's 127.0.0.1, and shows the
page through an SSH tunnel. The server exits when the phone disconnects.
Server: FRAME_LOCAL=1 puts ui/local-bin on PATH, whose ssh stand-in runs each
`ssh frame COMMAND` locally (and serves as rsync's transport), so desktop and
phone share one code path. Android display goes through podman exec there, as
the Frame has no adb. FRAME_UI_KEY replaces the fixed X-Frame-UI value with a
per-session key. Power actions take the Developer Mode password via sudo -S.
--port 0 now prints the port it took.
Page: a bottom tab bar and safe areas on phones, Play buttons visible on touch
screens, saving through the share sheet, SSH/SFTP/Steam Link/remote desktop
opening in their iOS apps, and a password dialog for power.
App: pairing with the Developer Mode password once (never stored) or with a
key the user adds; host key pinned on first use; plain-language connection
errors with quiet retries; frame-control://install links; alerts and confirms.

Combines the three feature branches on bundle-deps. Conflicts in server.py,
index.html, preload.js, README and test_server.py keep both sides. The
web-install downloader now uses urllib's default HTTPS context, so the
bundled CA list from 770f26c applies to it on Windows too.

Dropping a game's .zip, folder or .exe on Send to Frame now adds it to the
headset's Steam library through Valve's SteamOS Devkit title path, with the
runtime picked from the program's header: Windows PE -> Proton Experimental
(steam_play=1), aarch64 ELF -> SteamLinuxRuntime_4-arm64, x86-64 ELF ->
SteamLinuxRuntime_4 (through FEX). Other architectures are refused.
- frame/devkit-utils: Valve's devkit-utils vendored unmodified (MIT,
steamos-devkit v0.20260925.1), synced to ~/devkit-utils by stamp, bundled in
the app and compiled in CI.
- ui/frame_titles.py: inspect (safe unzip, ELF/PE classification, launch
target ranking), install(path, name=None, exe=None, runtime=None,
progress=None), list, launch, remove, plus a CLI.
- ui/server.py: /api/titles (inspect/install/discard/launch/remove),
/api/titles/job progress, and an upload mode 'title'.
- ui/index.html: confirm dialog (name, launch target, runtime), install
progress, and a Sideloaded titles list with Launch and Remove. The app's
preload passes a dropped folder's path.
- tests and docs/sideloading.md. Device-side behaviour is inferred from
Valve's source; the headset was offline, so none of it has been checked on
a Frame yet.

A site can link to frame-control://install?manifest=URL (or ?url=URL) to
install a title with Frame Control. Manifests use FrameDrop's format, so
framedrop.install/v1 is accepted as well as frame-control.install/v1.
- app/install-link.js parses links; main.js registers the scheme (plus
electron-builder protocols for Info.plist and the .desktop file), takes
links from open-url, second-instance argv and the first argv, and holds
them until the page asks for them through preload's onInstallLink.
- ui/frame_webinstall.py checks the URLs (HTTPS only; localhost over http
only when the link itself is local; no userinfo; every address public,
rechecked on redirects and pinned for the connection), reads the
manifest, downloads with a size cap and sha256 check, and dispatch()
sends .apk to frame_android and .zip/.exe to frame_titles when present.
- server.py adds /api/webinstall/check, start, job and cancel behind the
existing Host and X-Frame-UI guards; a start needs a one-time id from
check. Downloads stop on cancel and on shutdown, and leftovers from a
killed server are swept by PID.
- index.html asks before anything downloads (name, source host, file,
type, size, whether a sha256 was given) and shows progress.
- docs/web-install.md, docs/install.html (landing page, unpublished).

- app/build/fetch-deps.js downloads a standalone Python 3.12
(python-build-standalone) for every build and adb from Google's
platform-tools, pinned by SHA-256, and prunes what the server never
uses. It replaces the Windows-only embeddable Python.
- The app runs the bundled Python with -I -u -B -X utf8, so a PYTHONHOME
or PYTHONPATH meant for another Python can't break it and nothing is
written inside the signed macOS bundle.
- An adb you already have still goes first, so two adb versions don't
keep restarting each other's server. arm64 Linux has no official
platform-tools and keeps using the system adb.
- ui/frame_apk.py reads APK badging (package, label, version, min SDK,
ABIs, icon) from the binary manifest and resources.arsc, replacing
aapt2. It matches aapt2 on nine F-Droid APKs and finds launcher icons
the old path missed with adaptive icons.
- The app reads the computer's clipboard through Electron, so Linux no
longer needs wl-clipboard or xclip.

Package the Frame Control web UI as an installable Electron Mac app and
bring in the tooling built alongside it.
- app/: Electron wrapper that starts ui/server.py on a free loopback port,
hardened window (sandbox, no navigation, runAsNode fuse off), login-shell
PATH so Homebrew tools work from Finder, first-run offer to run
connect.sh, ad-hoc signed DMG/zip via electron-builder.
- ui/: headset view (OpenVR screenshots), device status, library, Steam
"Get games" (owned games, install, store search), Android apps as
persistent Lepton instances with a rated F-Droid catalogue and a private
compatibility database, Android display controls over ADB, file and
clipboard transfer, Flatpaks, remote and power actions.
- apk-catalog/, compat-db/, frame/: catalogue build pipeline, Lakebed
capsule for compatibility reports, Frame-side launchers.
- tests/ and CI: server guard and validation tests plus Steam helper tests,
run on Python 3.9 with script and app syntax checks.
- Docs: README leads with the Mac app; new Android, panels, Steam games and
field-notes docs; security notes on LAN-exposed ADB ports.
Screenshot values for the headset's IP and Wi-Fi name are placeholders.
