The screen and first frame must be at most 4096x4096 and the frame inside the
screen; anything malformed or truncated is rejected. Only a minimal
single-frame GIF (header, screen, colour table, graphic control, first
image) reaches the Frame's Chromium, however many frames the source has.

Matching the APK path in command lines could hit an unrelated process, and
the pgid file had a registration race. The launcher keeps the flock (not
inherited by Lepton) and, holding it, stops only lepton-steamlaunch-<instance>,
whose name is this app's alone. A Lepton host process may linger briefly.

- Automatic backfill touches only entries marked art_pending at install (a
devkit title Steam registered later) and fills only slots Steam has no art
for: no name, exe, VR flag or icon changes, no clearing. Older installs
without the flag are left alone and refreshed only when the user asks.
- Android remove takes the install lock that install and refresh hold, so a
refresh in progress can't recreate a removed app; a refresh after removal
finds it not installed.

Name resolution runs in a thread within the budget, a watchdog shuts the
socket at the deadline, and the body is read one receive at a time with the
remaining time as timeout. SteamGridDB goes through the same bounded fetch,
without redirects.

The lock isn't inherited by Lepton, so a launcher killed before Lepton made its
container left an untracked Lepton that a new Play could overlap. The launcher
records its child's process group and, once it holds the lock, ends a recorded
group that is still running this app.apk (never an unrelated reused id).

GitHub's opengraph preview is repo text, stats and an identicon; as a Steam hero
it looked broken. GitHub entries no longer default to it (the store draws its
fallback, Steam gets generated art). Source GIFs (common gameplay captures) are
accepted; the Frame's Chromium draws the first frame. Open Saber Plus uses its
gameplay GIF as banner. Verified on the Frame: hero/wide now show gameplay.

- 'Refresh artwork' (settings) and the API's refresh-art --all cover devkit
titles as well as Android apps; frame_titles.py gains refresh-art ID|--all.
- Apps and titles without complete Steam artwork are flagged (art_missing):
the app shows 'Add artwork', and the CLIs' list prints the refresh command.
- When the app lists them and Steam answers, Frame Control re-applies their
art in the background (at most every five minutes), e.g. for a title Steam
registered after an install made while it wasn't running.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Remove: collections and artwork clearing are best effort in Steam's JS, and
the host carries on to delete the files when Steam isn't running (Android
apps and devkit titles).
- Devkit titles: the shortcut is found by devkit id, the saved id, or an
executable/start folder inside the title's folder; never by display name.
Steam's overviews don't carry devkit_gameid (checked on the Frame
2026-09-28), so 'list' now reads exe/start dir from app details.
- Photo-based grid/wide/hero slots render as JPEG (a noise-heavy 3840x1240
hero was over 12 MiB as PNG on the Frame); the logo stays transparent PNG.
Rendering gets 75 s and retries once with generated art. Each slot is
cleared before it is set, since Steam keeps .png and .jpg side by side.
- Devkit titles keep their own VR flag (vr=None skips SetShortcutIsVR) and
their Sideloaded collection.
- A failed title install's cleanup can't replace the original error.
- refresh_art for devkit titles (frame_titles.refresh_art).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Any failure of a source image or SteamGridDB (HTTPException, odd JSON) now
becomes a warning and generated art, never an aborted install; refresh-art
--all reports each app and carries on.
- URL artwork goes through apk_sources._images: public addresses only, at most
three redirects, and one overall deadline for all of an install's fetches.
- PNGs are checked from their header only (any depth or interlace; Steam's
Chromium decodes them), JPEGs may have trailing padding, and 4K screenshots
are within limits. The slow pure-Python decoder is gone.
- SteamGridDB title matching keeps letters of every script and never matches
on an empty name. One warning per source slot, not per candidate.

Once flock is held no launcher owns a running container (a SIGKILLed launcher
left it), so it is stopped and the launch continues. fd 9 is closed for the
Lepton child so it can't keep the lock held.

- The locked publication step also refuses a v1 index once v2 was accepted, so
an overlapping v1 fallback can't replace a v2 cache at an equal timestamp.
- A cached APK is touched before hashing; if it vanishes, it's downloaded again.
- Only the app prunes (at start and after store downloads), since claims are
in-process; the CLIs never prune.
- The CLI joins background refreshes on error exits too.
- The Windows lock loop retries only contention errors.
The concurrent-publication test now uses real flock contention.

Resolve CLI usage and POST table conflicts. Store installs now hand the
source's own image URLs (icon, banner, screenshots) to frame_android.install
as Steam artwork; before, they passed UI proxy paths (or nothing), so every
store install fell back to generated art.

Two clients restoring the same package could each swap directories and then

Deletion re-stats under a lock shared with touch() (F-Droid cache reuse) and

The final timestamp recheck, cache write and state update now run under a file
lock (flock, or msvcrt on Windows), so the CLI and the app can't publish
indexes out of order. The CLI joins background refreshes before exiting so an
expired index doesn't stay expired.

Backups no longer abort on a symlink: it is left out and listed (path and

install_obb needs the app's running instance, which doesn't exist straight after
install, so the store no longer calls it there. The install result says the app
needs its game data; after opening the app once, 'Add game data' copies the
downloaded OBB files (a background job).

Adding a repository downloads and verifies its whole index, so it now runs as a

A host that answers 403/429 is left alone until its Retry-After (or GitHub's

Each repository's newest accepted index timestamp is stored and older indexes

A search for a different query while a source is busy now queues (newest wins)

- F-Droid: percent-encode repo file names (a '#' in one screenshot name broke
the whole main repo); a bad image name drops that image, not the app.
- Search: sources still fetching report 'loading' (UI says so and refreshes
quietly); indexes warm up at server start; page-only SideQuest is not
searched and appears as a 'Browse SideQuest' link instead of an error.
- Browse (empty query) ranks VR, artwork and recent updates first; the F-Droid
archive is off by default (old versions only).
- Throttled sources fall back to their last cached copy; per-host message.
- Curated GitHub list gains Open Saber Plus (MIT) with icon and screenshots.

Second review follow-up: with several activities (e.g. a splash activity ahead

Review follow-up. inspect() now returns 'repairable' and the filters it can
patch: the real activity's VR MAIN filter, or, when LAUNCHER/VR sits only on an
<activity-alias>, any real MAIN filter with a category to copy. install() and
patch() repair on 'repairable' instead of 'vr_activity', so a flat Godot 4
export is fixed and a VR category only on the alias no longer aborts install.
Tests cover both shapes, an already-launchable activity with an alias, and an
end-to-end patch.

patch() turns corrupt-manifest struct/index errors into FrameError; a missing
layer build says so; the signing key falls back to a rename where hard links

nulls an instance it can't destroy and logs xrLocateSpaces once.
Not changed: the 1.1 Meta profile names match xr.xml's promoted names
(meta/touch_pro_controller, meta/touch_plus_controller), and grip_surface is
palm_ext renamed, so the rewrite stays (now commented).

The menci/archlinuxarm base failed `pacman -Syu` on GitHub's arm64 runner.

The app finds the Frame by itself (Valve's _steamos-devkit._tcp Bonjour
service, else the saved address or frame.local on port 22), so setup is two
numbered steps: wake your Frame (Looking… / Found ✓, and after a few seconds
exactly what to check), then the Developer Mode password and Connect. Manual
address and key options sit under Other ways to connect.
A paired Frame that doesn't answer is almost always asleep: instead of an
error, Waiting for your Frame says how to wake it and connects as soon as its
SSH port answers (checked every 3 s; 4 s after the stand-in came back).

On the Frame, compat_log.txt has binary bytes in it, so plain grep only said
"binary file matches" and the x86-64 launch check missed Steam's "is not

Headset smoke test: drop the paired key from authorized_keys with a
same-mode copy swapped in, so a failed write can't truncate it; check the
throwaway key with no ssh_config or agent; clean up idempotently (tracked

and ~/devkit-utils if it wasn't there before), with a failed cleanup a
failed step; count a launch only with fresh evidence (the process, Steam's

pgrep doesn't find its own shell. The test programs sleep 10 s.

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.

Valve publishes no Steam Frame OS image, so tests/frame-container builds the
Frame's SSH surface on Valve and Collabora's Holo Core aarch64 base: a
steamos user with a password and sudo, OpenSSH with keys and passwords,
Python, and a systemctl that only records requests.
Against it from the Simulator: password pairing, the host-key pin, the power
password check. Found and fixed: a changed host key or a refused login said
"Can't reach the Frame" and retried forever; they now say "Pair with the
Frame again" and offer that. The server's key rejection now says the header
may be wrong, not only missing.

- Pairing saves nothing if it was cancelled while adding the key.
- The ssh stand-in runs under bash: dash refuses job control without a
terminal, which cost stdin and the process group.
- A server that stops while the tunnel opens fails the attempt (and retries)
instead of leaving it half-connected.
- The health probe answers within its deadline even when a dead link keeps
the probe itself waiting.
- A cached version is deleted only if no server runs from it (servers now run
