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.

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.

- frame_apk: android: attributes win over same-named attributes in
other namespaces; string attributes that keep only a typed value (no
raw string) still resolve; a failed icon read leaves the icon out
instead of failing the install.
- The clipboard IPC origin check can't throw on odd frame URLs.
- fetch-deps.js: 60 s download timeout, at most 5 redirects, a SystemRoot
fallback for tar.exe, and prunes pydoc_data, venv and the static
libpython.
- Docs keep the clipboard-tool note for running the UI in a browser.

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.

The bundled Python only trusts roots already in the Windows certificate
store, which Windows fills lazily, so on a new install Steam store
search, F-Droid downloads and the compat DB failed with
CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED. fetch-deps.js now also bundles curl's pinned
copy of Mozilla's CA list, and the server adds it to the default HTTPS
context on top of the system certificates (before any urlopen, since
urllib keeps the context it first builds).

- 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.

- 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
Windows' ssh.exe holds ~/.ssh/config locked, and don't apply 0o700 on Windows.
- Never use rsync on Windows; unbounded stream queue; validate FRAME_ALIAS;
more Linux terminals; bundle the window icon; docs and wording fixes.
