+## Store and Library in Frame Control
+
+The Android tab has two views. **Store** finds apps across the sources (F-Droid,
+IzzyOnDroid, curated GitHub releases, itch.io). **Library** shows the apps on the
+Frame as cards, with Play and a menu for Test, Report and Remove; the display
+settings and recent reports are below it.
+
+The store groups apps by what a headset is good for, not by F-Droid's list:
+VR, Games, Emulators, Watch & listen, Read & learn, Create, Work, Web & chat
+and Tools (`ui/apk_sources/_categories.py`). A VR app is always in VR. Otherwise
+F-Droid's own categories decide, the finer one first (an app in *Multimedia* and
+*Social Network* is Web & chat).
+
+Apps built around a phone are hidden from browsing unless **Show phone-only
+apps** is on; a search always finds them, labelled *Phone app*. Hidden: apps in
+a category that only makes sense in a phone's own system (launchers, keyboards,
+wallpapers, Xposed modules), apps in a phone-side category (calls and SMS, VPNs,
+fitness, alarms, system tools) unless a useful category says otherwise
+(FluffyChat is in Phone & SMS, but it's a messenger), apps named for a phone
+part (a widget, a launcher, a battery tool), and apps that need hardware the
+Frame lacks (an IR blaster, a watch, NFC, root). They would install and run in
+Lepton, but do nothing useful on the Frame. In the October 2026 indexes that is
+about 1,600 of F-Droid's 4,500 apps and 550 of IzzyOnDroid's 1,300.
+
+Without a search, each source offers its best 300 for the chosen category:
+apps with a banner first, then with screenshots, then the newest.
+
+## The store in the headset: Frame Control's store as a panel (inferred, not yet run on the Frame)
+
+The **APK Store** panel is the Store above, drawn for the laser: the same
+sources, categories and artwork, with Install, Open, Stop and Remove, opened as
+its own floating panel:
+
+```sh
+scripts/store-on-frame.sh open     # copy the server over if it changed, start it, open the panel
+scripts/store-on-frame.sh close
+```
+
+`open` copies the same bundle the iPhone app uses
+(`ios/scripts/make_frame_bundle.py`) to
+`~/.local/share/frame-control/store-server/<version>` on the Frame. It then
+starts `ui/server.py` there with `FRAME_LOCAL=1` on `127.0.0.1:47812`, with a
+fresh `X-Frame-UI` key. Chromium XR (or the `org.chromium.Chromium` Flatpak)
+opens `/store` (`ui/store.html`) in a 1280×800 app window, tagged as panel
+`2001947812` ([panels.md](panels.md)). Downloads, SHA-256 checks and installs
+all run on the Frame, so the Mac can go away after `open`.
+
+The page has a category rail (Home, the store's categories, Installed), eight
+art cards a page, and a featured VR app on Home. It turns pages instead of
+scrolling, because a tagged panel gets mouse clicks and a drag would select
+text; the thumbstick (a mouse wheel) turns pages, and an on-screen keyboard is
+there for search. **Checked on the Mac only** (2026-10-14, 1280×800, against
+the real sources): Home, categories, Installed, the detail sheet. **Still to
+check in the headset:** that the panel opens and takes laser clicks, that an
+install completes when run on the Frame, and that **Open** brings up the app's
+panel.

+can't hide a change. The saved key's fingerprint is also recorded in
+`devices.json` (`identity`), along with a flag that never clears
+(`identity_established`), as soon as ssh saves the key: even if the login is then
+refused. A headset counts as having had an identity if the flag is set, a
+fingerprint is recorded, its pin file exists at all, or a connection to it ever
+worked (older files get the flag from that when loaded, so editing or removing
+the address that worked doesn't undo it); then

+(*Checking the headset's identity* fails, "missing or can't be read") rather than

+says when the key it reads matches the recorded fingerprint.
+
+**When the key changes** (SteamOS reinstalled or reset, a new headset at the

+itself. The connection fails at *Checking the headset's identity*; the banner
+and the headset on the Devices tab say so, with **Check the new key…** (also
+**Check its key…** on the Devices tab at any time). That reads the key the
+headset shows now, and nothing more: ssh writes it to a throwaway known_hosts
+file during the key exchange, before any login, and is stopped as soon as it
+has. Every other kind of contact is ruled out on the command line, ahead of
+anything `~/.ssh/config` says: no authentication of any kind, no agent
+(`IdentityAgent=none`, `ForwardAgent=no`), no X11 or port forwarding, no local
+or remote command (`-N`), no terminal, and `-F none`. Through a ProxyJump host
+it builds that hop itself, as a ProxyCommand whose ssh forwards nothing and runs
+no local command (ProxyJump's own ssh would take `ForwardAgent` and
+`LocalCommand` from `~/.ssh/config`); it still logs in to the jump host as
+configured. Every word of that ProxyCommand is quoted for the shell that runs it
+(and `%` doubled for ssh's own tokens), the forward is `[%h]:%p` so an IPv6
+headset works, and an IPv6 jump host is passed bare with its port. Through a ProxyCommand from `~/.ssh/config`, or several jump hosts,
+it refuses, since those can't be made safe from here: add an address it can
+reach directly, or compare the key by hand. It shows the key's SHA256 fingerprint next to
+the saved one, with the command that prints it on the headset
+(`ssh-keygen -lf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key.pub`, in Konsole on its desktop).
+**This is my headset: trust its new key** then saves exactly that key, replacing
+the old one, and reconnects. The server keeps the key it showed for 10 minutes
+and saves it only if the page sends back the same fingerprint, and only while
+the headset's port, user and that address are unchanged; it never saves whatever
+answers next. The API's old `forget-identity`, which deleted the pin so that the
+next contact saved any key unseen, is refused. Set Up Connection can't fix a changed key: it checks your
+own `known_hosts`, not the headset's file.

+Devices tab offer **Set Up Connection…**, which pairs this computer again.

+## Control Center
+
+Open **Control** or `#control` to search controls, status and help. Categories
+cover device/audio, VR/comfort, apps/files, connection/remote and Frame Control
+preferences. Search is local: it matches labels, descriptions and familiar terms
+such as “DPI”, “microphone”, “recenter” and “keep awake”. Queries are not sent to
+Steam, app catalogues, analytics or models. Choosing a workflow link opens its
+existing screen; it does not install, cast, open a helper or change a setting.
+Home, Games, Android, Tools and Devices retain their existing features.
+
+The overview and detail cards use the shared `/api/status` sample: charge and
+power, user/system storage, memory, Wi-Fi, IP, OS/build, uptime, detected services
+and VR timings. Values refresh with the normal 30-second poll. A failed status
+request, lost connection, headset switch or sample received more than 90 seconds
+ago clears current readings and disables audio writes. The client receipt time
+and failed-read state are retained through page startup and UI redraws. Only a
+new successful status read clears a failure; reusing the retained sample does not.
+The headset timestamp is shown without assuming
+its clock matches this computer. Missing sensors show **Unavailable**;
+they are not converted to zero. Compositor FPS is separate from application FPS;
+GPU time is render time, not GPU utilisation. The temperature is the hottest
+readable sensor. Thermal trip warnings use per-zone kernel hot/critical limits,
+not a guessed universal temperature threshold.
+
+**Audio** controls the default output sink through the existing `/api/volume`
+endpoint. Moving its slider prepares a value; **Apply volume** sends it. **Mute**
+and **Unmute** send explicit mute states. The UI captures the selected headset,
+blocks duplicate/pending actions, and requests status after command acknowledgment
+for readback, draining an earlier poll first. Mute preserves an unapplied volume
+draft; switching headsets discards it. It reports
+unconfirmed or differing output separately from confirmed state. API validation
+rejects invalid types, out-of-range levels and invalid mute states before SSH.
+
+Other settings link to the existing forms and their validation, progress,
+confirmations and reset behavior: per-instance Android resolution/density/text,
+comfort sessions and alerts, media layouts, Mac streaming quality, privacy,
+sources and artwork. Android display links reveal the **Library** before
+scrolling to the form. Mac streaming remains searchable on all platforms, with
+its action shown only when the server is on macOS.
+
+Hardware guidance is deliberately separate from controls. Microphone/routing,
+brightness, refresh selection, optics, controllers, Bluetooth, passthrough,
+tracking-origin changes, saved spatial layouts, firmware updates and recovery
