- Attempts carry a generation: one overtaken by a switch, a removal or a login
change routes nothing back to the old headset and can't report connected.
- Removing the active headset or changing its user/port reroutes at once,
before anything that can fail.
- One known_hosts file per headset (~/.ssh/frame-control-hosts/<id>):
forgetting one headset's key can't drop another's, whoever else writes.
- learn() checks, under the config lock, that the block is still what the
attempt started from before writing to it.
- A switch stops live video and drops captures from the previous headset.
- A probe shares its time between the addresses a name resolves to.

- Switching headsets is serialized with the start of any install; background
work counts as running from before its thread starts. use() reroutes every
command at once and makes ensure() wait for the new headset.
- A new user or port reroutes commands even if the attempt then fails.
- ~/.ssh/config edits take a lock file shared with Set Up Connection
(frame_connect.py and connect.sh, which now also writes atomically).
- A finished attempt no longer writes its older settings over a change Set
Up Connection made meanwhile.
- Pin edits are locked and swapped atomically.
- A bare alias behind ProxyJump/ProxyCommand is left to ssh to reach.
- The page drops answers about the previous headset after a switch; the
header switcher takes clicks in the macOS title bar.

- Plugged into the Mac, the Frame is a USB network device ("Steam Frame",
usb0 at ~0.9 ms). The tunnel uses it when the Frame's usb0 answers,
with the usual host key; otherwise the normal path. Interleaved runs:
content p50 7 vs 10 ms, click to drawn 17 vs 27 ms, scroll p95 23 vs
31-37 ms. FRAME_MACVIEW_USB=0 turns it off; the card says "over USB-C".
- Bench: --usb, and the route is recorded per run.
- Docs: Steam's own streaming (no SteamVR host on macOS; Remote Play pairs
but streams games, not windows; test blocked); the Frame's USB network;
the 2026-09-28 health-check boot-loop recurrence.

Frame Control can now manage more than one Steam Frame, and reach each at any
of several addresses (LAN IPs per network, its .local name, Tailscale). A
connector in the server tries them all at once, picks the best one that
answers, follows ssh -v through each stage (network, finding, SSH, identity,
login) and streams that to the page. The header shows it live; a new Devices
tab (key 5) manages headsets, addresses and network names.
- ui/frame_devices.py: registry in devices.json, imported from the managed
~/.ssh/config blocks; per-headset host key pinning; config block updates.
- ui/frame_network.py: gateway IP+MAC fingerprint, Wi-Fi name, Tailscale.
- ui/frame_link.py: the connector, Test now, Tailscale/mDNS discovery, API.
- server.py: ensure_master delegates to the connector; /api/connection,
/api/connection/events (SSE), /api/devices.
- Electron: headset switcher and Devices item in the Frame menu.
- frame_connect.py --alias; FRAME_CONTROL_DATA_DIR / FRAME_CONTROL_SSH_DIR
keep tests off real data.

The keyboard and trackpad no longer fetch KDE Connect from Valve's package
repository on the Frame. The desktop apps and the iPhone app's Frame bundle
carry Valve's arm64 build of kdeconnect 24.02.2-1 and the five libraries it
links (kcontacts, kpeople, modemmanager-qt, pulseaudio-qt, libfakekey),
pinned by SHA-256 in frame/kdeconnect/packages.json and downloaded at build
time from the kdeconnect-frame-24.02.2-1 release, which also holds Valve's
complete source package for each.
On first use the computer copies them over its SSH connection (the iPhone
bundle already has them on the Frame); the agent checks each SHA-256,
unpacks them and stamps which build it is, so later starts copy nothing.
No internet on the Frame, 3.6 MB instead of 8 MB, 18 MB unpacked instead of
82 MB (ModemManager and friends were packaging-only dependencies).
GPL/LGPL compliance: frame/kdeconnect/NOTICE.md names each exact version,
licence and source; per-project licence texts in frame/kdeconnect/LICENSES;
THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md; an About and licences dialog in the app.

- Analytics go to the maintainer's PostHog US project 343535, tagged

stores the sender's address otherwise (checked live), including events
queued by earlier versions.
- Report a problem sends a private problem_report event to PostHog instead
of a public GitHub issue, with its own random id so a contact address
can't be linked to analytics. The dialog asks how to reach the person and
shows a reference. Maintainers read reports on the PostHog dashboard or
with `python3 ui/frame_report.py inbox`.
- Community sync pages by timestamp in UTC: PostHog refuses OFFSET for

Home → Keyboard and trackpad, in every version of Frame Control (Mac,
Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPad) with nothing to install on the device in
your hand. On a phone: a trackpad (drag, tap, two-finger scroll and
right-click) and a field that types on the Frame. On a computer: click
the pad to pass the mouse and keyboard through; Esc to stop.
First-party route: ui/frame_input_agent.py runs on the Frame and talks
KDE Connect's LAN protocol (v7) to kdeconnectd as if it were a phone.
KDE Connect isn't on the image, but Valve's package repository has it;
the agent fetches it and four libraries into ~ (no root, survives
updates), starts it, pairs by itself (accepting over D-Bus), and stops
it again when the last device disconnects. Each device has its own
identity; a stuck KDE Connect is restarted once.
Verified against the real Frame (SteamOS 0.4.1): first-time install,
pairing, pointer moves from the Mac's server and the iPhone app
(Simulator), Mac and iPhone at once, two installs at once, a frozen
daemon replaced, and the daemon stopping when the app quits.

Frame Control can now show any Mac window, or a whole screen, as its own
SteamVR panel on the Steam Frame (Tools -> Mac in the headset, macOS only).
Place it with the SteamVR dashboard; the laser clicks and scrolls, and the
Mac's own keyboard types.
- mac/frame-mac-view (Swift, no dependencies): ScreenCaptureKit capture per
window or display, VideoToolbox H.264 with low-latency rate control (JPEG
fallback), a loopback HTTP/WebSocket server, CGEvent/AX input playback,
and a display-awake assertion while anyone watches.
- ui/frame_macview.py: starts the agent, runs an ssh -R tunnel with a
supervisor that reopens it on the same port, and launches a Chromium app
window per stream on gamescope's :0, tagged with STEAM_GAME for its own panel.
- Frame Control's key never leaves the Mac: viewers get single-use,
per-source tickets and reconnect keys that Stop revokes.
- ui/mac-view.html: WebCodecs decode, keyframe recovery, pointer/wheel/keys back.
- Bundled in the Mac app build; tests/test_macview.py builds and drives the
agent on macOS.
Verified on the Frame (build 20260925.6191901) with the test pattern: panel
in about 1.5 s, about 60 fps, Mac-to-window about 11-17 ms, tunnel recovery

On the Frame, Steam refused to register titles whose id had a hyphen
(fc-smoke-exe) with "missing/invalid arguments", and registered the same
program as FCSmokeProbe (headset smoke test, 2026-09-27, BUILD_ID
20260922.6101926). Valve's client only allows ^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_.]+$.
title_id now makes ids of letters, digits and _, not starting with a
digit, 2 to 64 long; new installs are checked against that, while titles
already on the Frame are still listed, launched and removed. Steam's error
text is trimmed before it's quoted, and the "install it again with Steam
running" hint only follows a Steam-not-running error.

- Cancelling (Change headset, Forget) invalidates the attempt in flight; a
connection only becomes the app's once every step finished for it.
- A server that stops while the tunnel opens is noticed (exit callbacks are
synchronised and replayed), and the app isn't left showing a dead page.
- The port is read only once the digits are complete, and range-checked.
- Other versions in ~/.cache/frame-control stay unless untouched for 14 days,
so a second phone or iPad isn't cut off.
- The key is appended on its own line even if authorized_keys lacks a final
newline.
- The app checks every 20 s, and on returning to the foreground, that the SSH
session still answers, and reconnects if not.
- The ssh stand-in runs the command as its own process group and passes a
TERM on to all of it, so a live-video ffmpeg stops with its stream.
- Touch screens show the library's Play buttons (the rule now follows the
base one); the failure screen only says it's retrying when it is; the page
says the app reconnects rather than naming a desktop menu.

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.

The page was one 6,800px scroll with nine nav links (hidden below 1150px).
It is now four tabs, Home, Games, Android and Tools, switched with 1-4; old
section links still land on the right tab.
When the Frame can't be reached, the server turns ssh's connection errors into
one plain message (503, offline: true), the page shows a single banner with
Retry and Set Up Connection, retries every 8 s, and reloads every panel when
the Frame answers. Panels say "Waiting for the Frame" instead of raw ssh text.
Flatpak and Android catalogue installs run as background jobs the page polls,
so a slow install no longer holds a request for up to 15 minutes or reports a
false failure; the bottom bar counts running installs.
Files can be dropped anywhere in the window, as the README already said.
Recent reports show the newest five, with Show all. Android display explains
an empty or failed read. A topped-up headset on a charger reads as not
charging rather than "still draining, using 0.0 W".
Fixes a race where the catalogue and reports loads wrote the compat-db
mirror's .tmp file at once and one failed with a 500.

A Refresh in flight could leave the shared list stale when the dialog

- Only stored and deflated entries are read: Python 3.9's bzip2 and lzma
readers inflate without bound before trimming.
- loadTitles drops a response that a newer request has overtaken, so the
install dialog's replace warning uses the fresh list.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- APK reader: read members with a bounded read, since ZipFile.read inflates
a member fully before trimming it to a forged declared size; the reference
walk counts every entry it examines, dead ends and cycles included.
- Titles: a path that exists under the root wins over stripping the archive
prefix; the prefix is taken before a linked folder is staged elsewhere
(another drive on Windows); the install dialog loads a fresh title list
first and says so if it couldn't check.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- APK reader: cap AndroidManifest.xml, resources.arsc and icon sizes before
inflating them (APKs can come from install links), and follow resource
references without cycles and with a result budget.
- Sideloading: reserve devkit-steam (SteamOS's sideloaded-client trampoline);
the install dialog warns when a name replaces an installed title; a
manifest's exe may name the program as it is in the archive, above the
folder the installer steps into.

- Links to localhost need FRAME_CONTROL_LOCAL_LINKS=1: otherwise any website's
link could make the app fetch from services on this computer.
- Title staging folders (unzipped titles) carry the server's PID and are swept

gigabytes behind.

Combines the three feature branches on bundle-deps. Conflicts in server.py,

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Run the server with -X utf8: the bundled Windows Python ignores PYTHON* variables.
- Quote every argument in Windows terminal commands, so cmd metacharacters are literal.
- frame_connect: accept HOST:PORT, validate input, retry the config swap while

- Add an MIT license, tester instructions in the README, and bump to 0.2.0.

Live in the headset view now streams video instead of polling stereo
screenshots (~2 fps). SteamVR's steamvr-v4l2cam.service mirrors the headset
view into /dev/video99; ffmpeg on the Frame encodes it with x264 (720p30 by
default, AUD + repeated SPS/PPS), /api/stream relays the raw H.264 over SSH,
and the page splits it on access unit delimiters and decodes it with
WebCodecs into the existing viewer. Capture still takes a stereo still; the
desktop panel keeps capture polling, and the page falls back to it if the
video can't start.
The remote ffmpeg runs under a shell that kills it when the SSH channel
closes, stderr goes to a temp file, and a 10 s stall ends the stream. One
stream at a time; a new one supersedes the last.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Screenshots: list the Frame's Steam screenshots, open them in the
viewer, and save new ones to ~/Pictures/SteamFrame. Ids are validated
before any shell, and copies land atomically.
- Tailscale: scripts/tailscale-on-frame.sh installs a userspace tailscaled
as a lingering systemd --user service with no sudo, SHA-256 checked, safe
to re-run, with --uninstall. docs/tailscale.md covers setup and warns that
in userspace mode every Frame port, including loopback-only DevTools and
ADB, is reachable from the tailnet.
- push-vr-video.sh: filenames starting with "-" are safe, symlinks are
followed, and a real Videos\VR directory triggers a warning.
- Tests cover the screenshot routes (19 total).
Docs keep placeholder addresses for the headset and tailnet.

- app: startup shell, python and ssh probes run asynchronously so a slow
shell profile can't freeze the window; PATH comes from the user's real
login shell and a failed lookup isn't cached; a server that never
answers is killed; the setup offer runs once per launch, only after the
UI loads, and decides from HostName alone; connect.sh is started through
`env ... zsh` so it works whatever the login shell is.
- server: volume validates the level before muting or changing anything.
- Steam: null-safe install-manager fields, http.client errors caught in
store ratings, price fallback when a sale has no final price.
- tests: server output kept for diagnosis, any startup error retried, and
captures asserted non-cacheable.
