HTTPServer.server_bind calls socket.getfqdn, which stalled past the MCP
backend's 10-second startup window on GitHub's macOS runners.

Review round 12: a failed USB-C tunnel now retries the normal path; an
existing HostKeyAlias wins; --host with --usb is rejected; the Steam
desktop-streaming claim is now 'untested' (Valve documents the desktop
showing when a game loses focus); the Show/cleanup overlap test blocks
for real (it fails without the lock). Verified live: with the cable out,
the route is the normal path.

- 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.

Review round 11: the cleanup's check and pkill now hold a lock that Show
takes to count itself in, so a new viewer can't start between them.

Review round 10: a Show replacing its own stream could have its new viewer
ended by the cleanup; a viewer reset left the delayed relay pending.
Verified: the relay delivers what's queued, then closes the agent side.

- Chromium on the Frame outlived its last viewer window (verified: 11
processes left after a run). Once nothing is shown, Stop ends it, unless
Show was pressed again meanwhile; its profile is Frame Control's own.
- Relay --delay: if the agent side fails, close the viewer side too
(review round 9).
- Docs: the final scroll run captured 57 fps; don't blame ScreenCaptureKit.

Brings in #4, #5, #8 (fbl100's verified Remmina/VNC mirror), APK
alternatives and the website. docs/streaming.md: Mac in the headset stays
the recommendation (now verified on the Frame); Remmina keeps #8's verified
evidence as the whole-screen fallback. docs/mac-in-headset.md cites #8's
lag finding.

Review round 8 (GPT-6 Astra xhigh): --delay paused upstream reads, so busy
streams saw 30-60 ms instead of 30. Verified locally: 60-62 ms round trip
with 30 ms each way under load. No saved result used --delay.

- Per-frame timing on the Mac's clock (capture, encode, network, decode,
draw), viewer clock sync and reports, input echo, /stats and a HUD.
- scripts/macview-bench.py: repeatable runs on the real Frame, a shaping
relay (no sudo), interleaved A/B between agent settings; results in
bench/results/.
- Adaptive controller: ack-based send gate with jitter-aware slack, AIMD
bitrate that knows when a stream is app-limited, fps then size tiers.
On a 50->3->50 Mbit/s step, scroll p95 went from 4.7 s to 72 ms; no cost
on a clean link.
- Separate mode: real AppKit event loop (HiDPI and NSScreen now work),
cropped capture for fixed-size windows, windows kept on their display,
graceful quit restores windows; stop/start races fixed.
- Encoder timeline clamp (no oversized frame after a pause).
- Frame Control shows each live stream's fps, delay, bitrate and tier.

Steam's own idle timer (60 min on AC, 15 on battery) suspends the Frame,
and SSH work doesn't count as activity. scripts/keep-awake.sh on sets both
timers to Never through Steam's DevTools (reusing ui/frame_steam.py) and
holds a logind sleep inhibitor as a user unit; off releases the inhibitor
and restores the saved timers. Findings recorded in how-the-frame-works.md.

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.

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
in 4 s. Laser input and real window capture still need a person in the headset.
Also commits the other thread's first-party rule (steam-frame skill) and
the first-party options table in docs/streaming.md.

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.
