- 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.

- No switching headsets (or changing the active one's user/port, or removing
it) while installs run: they read the ssh settings step by step.
- Switching reroutes every command to the new headset at once, even if it
never answers.
- ~/.ssh/config edits are serialized, use unique temp files, and back off if
another program wrote the file meanwhile.
- stop() ends a handshake in progress and joins the connector.
- Pinned keys are written unhashed (HashKnownHosts=no); hashed ones are still
found and forgotten via ssh-keygen.
- Set Up Connection changing a headset's user or port updates the registry.

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.

Main now runs Android installs as background jobs and maps SSH failures to
one offline message. Alternative-version installs go through the same job,
the alternatives dialog waits on it with runJob, and send_error_json keeps
the apk blocker that opens the dialog.

- Gradient buttons showed a dark sliver on the right: the background shorthand reset
background-origin, so the gradient repeated under the transparent border.
- Phone header: keep the brand on one line and drop the GitHub button under 480px.
- Hero pill: put the platform list on its own line on phones instead of orphaning one item.
- Privacy page: plain sections instead of open accordions whose x looked like a close button.
- Same header (GitHub button) and footer links on every page; legend spacing on the form.

macOS leaves the pointer out of the Screen Sharing framebuffer, and neither Remmina showcursor setting brings it back. A Hammerspoon ring around the pointer is a real window, so it gets mirrored.

- Header, content, tab bar, status strip, drawer and toasts add the notch,
Dynamic Island, rounded-corner and home-indicator insets on every side
(zero on desktops). Phones on their side use the bottom tab bar layout.
- The phone tab bar hides while a text field has focus, instead of riding
on the keyboard.
- DEBUG hook FRAME_TEST_LANDSCAPE for checking this in the Simulator.
- docs/streaming.md: iPhone mirroring (UxPlay, broadcast extension) and
keyboard/mouse input (uinput needs no sudo on the Frame, verified).

The share sheet only offers Save Image when the app declares
NSPhotoLibraryAddUsageDescription; without it screenshots couldn't be saved to
Photos. docs/iphone.md now lists what was verified against the Frame (Bonjour
discovery, waiting and reconnecting, upload, share sheet, install links,
opening Steam Link) and the two permission prompts iOS shows.

The menci/archlinuxarm base failed `pacman -Syu` on GitHub's arm64 runner.
Valve's Holo Core aarch64 preview is the base the Frame's SteamOS is built on,
the iPhone app's frame-container already uses it, and its repos carry every
package the fake needs. A failed image build now reruns with the full log.

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).

The tabs UI (#4) runs Flatpak installs as server.start_job jobs, so a failed
install answers 200 with a job id and reports the error on /api/job. The test
now waits for the job instead of expecting an immediate 502.

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
installed" line. The fake now writes that line to a compat_log.txt that starts
with a NUL, and the end-to-end test finds it the way the smoke test does.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A launch that needs the program running kept looking after Steam's
"started" line, rather than failing on it before the process showed up.
Cleanup reads steamos-delete's log, which reports a failed sync but exits
0, and runs it twice to check Steam no longer lists our titles; until then
they stay tracked and the cleanup step fails.

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 leftover titles, their json files, Steam's shortcuts via steamos-delete,
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
log, or the known missing-runtime line), matching with [d]evkit-game so
pgrep doesn't find its own shell. The test programs sleep 10 s.
Fake Frame: log a launch before its reaper can look for it. e2e: kill a
pairing client's process group when a test ends; accept an aarch64 program
running under QEMU on x86 hosts.

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.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.

- docs/recovery-and-images.md: where Valve's Frame images are (not linked from
the SteamOS download page), file names, sizes and our checksums, the GPT
layout with exact start sectors, what's in rootfs-A (btrfs, SteamOS 0.3.0
build 20260922.5152327, users, sudo and sshd config), extracting it, running
it without the headset, and Valve/Collabora's Holo Core aarch64 preview.
- how-the-frame-works.md: correct the recovery image file names; add verified
facts on the SSH server, tools on the image (no adb), Lepton instances as
podman containers, going off the network when asleep, and the battery
reading at full charge.
- ssh.md: pairing from an iPhone and why devkit RSA pairing doesn't fit it.
- open-questions.md, README.md and the steam-frame skill point to the new pages.

tests/frame-container/frame-image.sh extracts rootfs-A from Valve's Frame
recovery image (steamdeck-images.steamos.cloud/recovery), mounts it read-only
with a throwaway writable layer and starts the image's own sshd, so the iPhone
app can pair with and run its server on the real SteamOS for Frame userland.
Verified: password pairing then key login in the image's sshd log, the power
password check through the image's sudo, status reading SteamOS 0.3.0.

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.

Adds debug-only test hooks (open on a tab, run page JS, leave the tunnel URL in
Caches) used to drive the app in the Simulator, and records what was verified:
all four tabs with live data, capture and 31 fps live video in WKWebView, upload,
install jobs and the power password check through the app's tunnel.
