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.

On a maintainer's Mac the compatibility-database key is in the Keychain, so a
test that reached install reporting published fake reports. Every test module
now imports tests/sandbox.py first, which points app data at a throwaway
directory (new FRAME_CONTROL_DATA_DIR), turns telemetry off and sends the
database nowhere.

Lepton's apk-info-extractor ignores <activity-alias>, and Godot 4 exports put
LAUNCHER only on an alias (com.godot.game.GodotAppLauncher). Open Saber Plus
0.7.67 installed but Lepton exited with 'APP_ACTIVITY is empty'. Count only
real activities as launchable and patch the activity's VR intent filter.
Verified on the Frame: Open Saber Plus launches and renders.

- Analytics go to the maintainer's PostHog US project 343535, tagged
$lib = frame-control. Every event carries $ip 0.0.0.0, since PostHog
stores the sender's address otherwise (checked live), including events
queued by earlier versions.
- Report a problem sends a private problem_report event to PostHog instead
of a public GitHub issue, with its own random id so a contact address
can't be linked to analytics. The dialog asks how to reach the person and
shows a reference. Maintainers read reports on the PostHog dashboard or
with `python3 ui/frame_report.py inbox`.
- Community sync pages by timestamp in UTC: PostHog refuses OFFSET for
personal API keys.

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
aren't supported and explains how to recover from a bad cached key; the layer
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).

Home → Keyboard and trackpad, in every version of Frame Control (Mac,
Windows, Linux, iPhone, iPad) with nothing to install on the device in
your hand. On a phone: a trackpad (drag, tap, two-finger scroll and
right-click) and a field that types on the Frame. On a computer: click
the pad to pass the mouse and keyboard through; Esc to stop.
First-party route: ui/frame_input_agent.py runs on the Frame and talks
KDE Connect's LAN protocol (v7) to kdeconnectd as if it were a phone.
KDE Connect isn't on the image, but Valve's package repository has it;
the agent fetches it and four libraries into ~ (no root, survives
updates), starts it, pairs by itself (accepting over D-Bus), and stops
it again when the last device disconnects. Each device has its own
identity; a stuck KDE Connect is restarted once.
Verified against the real Frame (SteamOS 0.4.1): first-time install,
pairing, pointer moves from the Mac's server and the iPhone app
(Simulator), Mac and iPhone at once, two installs at once, a frozen
daemon replaced, and the daemon stopping when the app quits.

except per-event delivery acknowledgement (documented known limit).

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.

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.

VR apps with an arm64 OpenXR loader get frame/openxr-compat's layer unless
--no-xr-compat; the app bundle ships the layer. Verified on the Frame: Wolvic's
Quest build gets through OpenXR start-up, Open Brush still reaches FOCUSED.

- 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.
