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- docs/web-install.md, docs/install.html (landing page, unpublished).

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.

- 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.

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.
