+unless they turn on **Share compatibility results**. Then the reports also go
+to PostHog as `compat_report` events, and the maintainer syncs them in (below).
+
+## Community reports
+
+```sh

+them with `via` set to `community`, `community-probe` or `community-install`.
+It skips invalid reports and anything over 30 per reporter per day. Each run
+re-reads the last 30 days, because an offline copy sends its reports late,

+remembers which reports it has handled and each reporter's daily count, so
+nothing is added twice and the cap holds across runs.

+It needs:

+- the PostHog project id: `"project"` in `ui/telemetry.json`
+- a personal API key with `query:read`: `POSTHOG_PERSONAL_API_KEY`, or in the
+  Keychain (service `frame-control-posthog`, account `personal-api-key`)

+# Frame Control for AI agents
+
+**Documented interface:** Frame Control's own stdlib Python MCP adapter wraps
+its loopback HTTP API. No API key, hosted service, model SDK or third-party
+helper app is needed. The assistant is our HTML/Python implementation hosted
+in the platform Chromium browser. Its optional LLM endpoint is user configuration.
+Installing other apps is an optional management action, never a prerequisite.
+
+## Connect an MCP client
+
+The default MCP command starts a private HTTP backend on a free loopback port,
+with a fresh local access key. It stops that backend when the MCP client closes
+stdin or sends SIGTERM. It uses its own SSH control socket, so closing it does
+not close the desktop app's connection. No manually started server is needed.
+
+Add this stdio server to your MCP client (use absolute paths):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "frame-control": {
+      "command": "python3",
+      "args": ["/absolute/path/frame-control/ui/frame_mcp.py"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+For Codex, the equivalent registration is:
+
+```sh
+codex mcp add frame-control -- python3 /absolute/path/frame-control/ui/frame_mcp.py
+```
+
+New agent sessions load the entry. An already running session may need its MCP
+connections reloaded; registration does not retroactively add tools to its
+initial tool inventory. Keep the checkout at that path while it is registered.
+Use `codex mcp remove frame-control` to remove only this registration.
+
+To reuse a running server instead, pass `--url http://127.0.0.1:47810`.
+The desktop app uses a random port; use that port with `--url`, or run the
+checkout server above. If the HTTP server uses `FRAME_UI_KEY`, pass the same
+value in the MCP process environment. This is local access control, not an LLM
+API key. The adapter only accepts loopback HTTP servers, refuses redirects and
+ignores environment proxies. Stdout contains newline-delimited JSON-RPC only.
+It supports MCP initialization, ping, tool listing and tool calls; no sampling,
+resources, prompts or streaming transport.
+
+| Tool | Arguments | Effect |
+|---|---|---|
+| `computer_state` | none | Read-only gamescope window IDs/focus and bounded AT-SPI tree; reports incomplete observations |
+| `status` | none | Battery, services, installed games and Flatpaks |
+| `screenshot` | `view`: `headset` (default) or `desktop` | Returns PNG image content to the MCP client |
+| `job` | `id` | Background install status; poll until `done`, inspect `error` |
+| `launch` | `appid` | Launch an installed Steam app |
+| `install` / `uninstall` | `id` | Install from Flathub / remove a user Flatpak |
+| `send_text` | `text` | Frame desktop clipboard; desktop must be open |
+| `send_file` | `path` | File on the HTTP server computer, up to 16 MiB, copied to Frame `~/Downloads` |
+| `panel` | `id` | Launch an installed Flatpak as a panel using the existing launcher |
+| `power` | `action`: `suspend`, `reboot`, `poweroff` | Open a terminal for the user to enter the sudo password |
+| `keep_awake` | `action`: `on`, `off`, `status` | Optional keep-awake script interface |
+
+Only install free software with its developer's consent. There is no purchase,
+entitlement bypass or arbitrary shell tool. `install` returns a background job
+ID; it does not claim the installation has finished. APK and sideloaded title
+installs remain in the main UI for now.
+
+### Approval is a separate human action
+
+Every mutation first returns an `approvalUrl`, exact action and `confirmation`
+token. Ask the user to open that URL and choose **Approve this action** or
+**Reject**. Then repeat the same tool and arguments with the token in
+`confirmation`. The server refuses execution before approval, changed arguments,
+expired tokens and reuse. A file approval binds the content hash as well as the
+path. Approvals last five minutes and disappear when the HTTP server restarts.
+A failed execution also consumes the approval; review a fresh request to retry.
+The panel does not execute an action merely because it was approved.
+
+MCP has no approval tool. This is protection against accidental model tool
+calls, not a sandbox against a client with independent shell/HTTP access to your
+computer. Grant the MCP client only the access you intend. Status, captures and computer-state observations
+are returned directly to that client, which may forward them to its configured
+model. The assistant's separate opt-in does not govern an external MCP client.
+
+Power still requires the existing password prompt in a local terminal. MCP
+never receives passwords. Power via `FRAME_LOCAL=1` is unsupported: use the main
+UI. The panel launcher and keep-awake adapter require zsh on the computer.
+
+[PR #16](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/16) owns
+`scripts/keep-awake.sh on|off|status`. This branch does not copy or change it.
+Until that script is present, the tool reports it unavailable. Keep-awake is
+never automatic: `on` changes the shared idle timers; explicitly approve `off`
+to restore them after work. It is not a per-agent lease; coordinate with other
+users. No changes are made to the analytics/update interfaces in
+[PR #17](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/17). Prompts, keys, model
+replies, screenshots and approval payloads are not sent to analytics.
+
+## Assistant panel
+
+Open **Tools → Open assistant**, or `http://127.0.0.1:47810/assistant`.
+To put the same page in the headset, with the HTTP server still running:
+
+```sh
+python3 scripts/assistant-on-frame.py --port 47810
+```
+
+This starts an SSH reverse forward bound to Frame loopback (port 47812 by
+default), then a dedicated Chromium profile tagged as a SteamVR panel. Keep the
+command running. Ctrl-C closes this browser profile and the tunnel; it leaves
+other Chromium windows and the existing HTTP server alone. A failed cleanup
+prints the temporary profile path so it can be removed when the Frame returns.
+Use `--frame-port` if the default is busy. Chromium must already be available as
+`org.chromium.Chromium`; the launcher never installs anything automatically.
+Place the panel with SteamVR's normal docking controls.
+
+Enter your full **chat-completions endpoint**, model name and optional key.
+An OpenAI-compatible local server works without a key; no OpenAI account is
+required. HTTP is allowed only on loopback; other endpoints require HTTPS.
+Loopback refers to the computer running the HTTP server, even in the headset.
+Endpoints with embedded credentials, query strings or redirects are refused.
+
+Check the message consent box and press **Send message**. Screenshot context is
+a separate unchecked box and sends one fresh capture with that request. Both
+boxes reset after sending, and changing endpoint/model revokes consent. Nothing
+is sent when opening the page or entering configuration. There is no model
+list fetch, saved history, automatic screenshot capture or assistant telemetry.
+Each send is independent: previous messages and replies are not included.
+
+Configuration, credentials and chat remain in page memory; close/reload the page
+or choose **Clear everything** to clear them. A request already sent cannot be
+recalled. Only the chosen endpoint gets the request; proxy environment variables
+and redirects are disabled. Its privacy and retention policy still applies.
+Replies are plain text and cannot call tools or operate the Frame. A model must
+support image inputs to accept screenshot context.
+
+## Evidence and limits
+
+**Verified 2026-09-28, SteamOS 0.4.1, BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901:** loopback HTTP
+status through an SSH reverse tunnel; platform Chromium created a separate
+SteamVR panel (confirmed in `GAMESCOPE_FOCUSABLE_APPS`); headset capture returned
+a PNG. These checks preceded the UI implementation. No power or global settings
+were changed.
+
+**Inferred:** visual comfort and controller keyboard usability while wearing
+the headset; panel creation in gamescope alone does not establish these.
+Windows/Linux launcher support, live third-party model endpoints, installs,
+uninstalls, power and keep-awake changes are not covered by that feasibility
+check. See the PR for the final unit and end-to-end results.
+
+**Verified end to end on the same Frame/build (2026-09-28):** a stdio MCP client
+initialized, read status, retrieved a headset PNG, and transferred a test file
+only after approval through the Chromium page. Remote file bytes matched;
+reusing the confirmation was rejected. The actual headset Chromium page sent
+text and then separately opted-in image context to a local test endpoint and
+displayed its replies. Without consent there were zero endpoint requests.
+The test endpoint returned canned replies: model inference and a live external
+provider remain **unverified**. The launcher’s Ctrl-C cleanup was checked;
+profiles, SSH tunnels and the test file were removed. No installs, removals,
+launches of user games, power operations or keep-awake changes were performed.
+
+**Verified locally:** unit coverage includes the stdio subprocess, approval
+binding/expiry/replay/concurrency, file-change rejection, and a real local HTTP
+endpoint for opt-in, text/image payloads and redirect refusal. Fake-Frame
+regressions are in `tests/e2e/test_agents.py`; local Docker execution was blocked
+because the Docker daemon was unavailable. The ARM64 fake-Frame CI job passed
+on this branch (run 36421345682).
+
+**Verified on the same Frame/build:** both Ctrl-C and SIGTERM close the dedicated
+browser profile and SSH tunnel and remove the profile and panel log.
+
+![Assistant in Frame Chromium, after an opted-in request to the local test endpoint](img/assistant-panel.png)
+
+## Computer-use coverage
+
+MCP is the tool transport, not a limit on what an agent can do. A screenshot,
+accessibility snapshot, click or keystroke can all be MCP tools when we have a
+reliable underlying implementation. See [the investigation](computer-use.md)
+for the verified boundaries. `computer_state` adds observation, not an input
+channel: it cannot click an approval button or send keyboard/mouse events.
+
+**Verified 2026-09-29, SteamOS 0.4.1, BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901:** the command saved
+by `codex mcp add` launched without a prestarted server, negotiated MCP, listed
+12 tools, read live Frame status and returned X11 window state plus AT-SPI
+observations. It exited 0 at EOF. Steam's accessibility tree had inaccessible
+children, reported as `incomplete: true`; this is not a complete actionable UI.

+# Announcing changes
+
+How we tell people about Frame Control features and fixes as they merge. The
+same few sentences feed the X post, the release notes and the website, so they
+are written once, in the pull request, while the change is fresh.
+
+## What gets announced
+
+| Kind | Announce? | Example |
+|---|---|---|
+| **New** — something you can now do | Yes, its own post | Stream Mac windows into the Frame as panels |
+| **Better** — something existing got noticeably easier, faster or wider | Yes, its own post or a roundup | APKs install without the Android SDK |
+| **Fixed** — something broken that users hit | Yes if people reported it or it blocked a flow; otherwise the next roundup | Mac mirror showed a zoomed-in corner |
+| **Release** — a tagged build | Always, one post linking the release | Frame Control 0.3.1 |
+| Tests, refactors, CI, docs-only, website polish | No | Fake Frame tests, screenshot crop |
+
+If a change isn't worth a sentence to someone who owns a Frame, it isn't
+announced.
+
+## The voice
+
+Write it the way the README and release notes already read.
+
+- **Lead with what the person can now do**, in their words: "Install older
+  versions of an app when the newest won't run on the Frame", not "Add APK
+  version fallback resolver".
+- **Plain and specific.** Name the thing, give the number: "about 30 fps",
+  "4,500 apps", "up to 8 older versions". No "blazing", "game-changing",
+  "excited to announce", "huge", or exclamation marks.
+- **Say where it works.** Platforms and what it was tested on, briefly:
+  "Tested on a real Frame from macOS 27." Don't claim what wasn't tested.
+- **Say the catch.** If it needs a setup step, an unsigned build, or only works
+  on one OS, say so in the same post.
+- **Sentence case**, full sentences, British spelling to match the docs.
+  Contractions are fine.
+- **No emoji in the text.** One image, GIF or short clip carries the tone
+  instead. The only symbol is the kind label below.
+- **Unofficial, always.** Never imply Valve made or endorses it. Say "Steam
+  Frame" for the headset and "Frame Control" for the app.
+- **Credit people.** If a user reported the bug or suggested the feature and is
+  happy to be named, thank them by handle.
+
+## The formats
+
+Every announceable PR ends with an `## Announcement` section holding these.
+The reviewer checks it like code.
+
+### 1. The post (X, and any other social account)
+
+```
+<Kind>: <what you can do now, one sentence>
+
+<one or two sentences: how it works, the catch, or what it was tested on>
+
+<link>
+```
+
+- `<Kind>` is `New`, `Better` or `Fixed`.
+- 280 characters maximum including the link (X counts any link as 23).
+- One link: the release if it has shipped, otherwise the PR.
+- One visual when the change is visible: a screenshot from the app, a GIF, or a
+  short clip from the headset. Alt text describes what it shows.
+- No hashtags, except `#SteamFrame` on releases and on posts about something
+  new, because people search for it.
+
+### 2. The release-note line
+
+One bullet under **New in x.y.z**, same as the current release notes: the
+first half of the post's first sentence, no kind label, no link.
+
+### 3. Release post

+
+**#11, older APK versions**
+
+```
+New: when an Android app is too new for the Frame, Frame Control now offers
+older versions that will install.
+
+It checks F-Droid, its archive and IzzyOnDroid, and verifies each download
+before it goes on the headset.
+
+https://github.com/saphid/steam-frame/pull/11
+```
+
+**#8, Mac mirror fixes**
+
+```
+Fixed: mirroring your Mac into the Steam Frame now fits the whole desktop in
+the panel, asks for the right password, and shows the cursor.
+
+Tested end to end on a real Frame from macOS 27.

+https://github.com/saphid/steam-frame/pull/8
+```
+
+**v0.3.1**
+
+```
+Frame Control 0.3.1: install APKs without the Android SDK
+
+Frame Control now reads APK files itself, so there's nothing extra to install.
+Also: Linux and Windows game sideloading, and one-click install links.
+
+Windows, macOS and Linux: https://github.com/saphid/steam-frame/releases/tag/v0.3.1

+2. On merge, the post is drafted from that section (manually for now).
+3. Alex approves or edits it, then it's posted from the project account.
+4. Replies and questions that turn out to be bugs become GitHub issues labelled

+Lepton is Android 11 (API 30), with arm64-v8a only. If Frame Control refuses
+an APK, it shows compatible versions from F-Droid's main and archive repos and
+IzzyOnDroid. It shows at most eight version names, newest first, preferring an
+arm64-only build, and says how many compatible builds it found in total.
+Each index is reduced to its compatible builds once a day and cached (about
+16 MB). The first lookup takes about 30 s and 100 MB of memory; later ones are
+instant.
+Choose **Install** to download a listed version, verify its SHA-256 against
+the index, and install it as its own app.
+
+You can also inspect a file or look up a package from the command line:
+
+```sh
+python3 ui/frame_android.py info some-app.apk
+python3 ui/frame_android.py versions some-app.apk
+python3 ui/frame_android.py versions org.example.app
+```
+
+The search links open APKMirror, APKPure, Uptodown, F-Droid and GitHub. Pick a
+version whose minimum is Android 11 or lower and that has an arm64-v8a build
+(or no native code). Frame Control does not fetch APKs from those search sites.
+Older versions may lack fixes, and being installable does not guarantee an
+app will run: see the missing services below. Android may refuse a downgrade
+or an update signed by a different publisher; removing the app deletes its data.

+# Computer use through Frame Control MCP
+
+The MCP transport can carry semantic actions or visual computer-use actions.
+The limits are the Frame's underlying interfaces, permissions and whether an
+action can be targeted and verified. A stereoscopic headset screenshot alone
+is not a reliable coordinate system for clicking a particular app window.
+
+## What exists, and the right route
+
+| Surface | Evidence and route | Remaining work or boundary |
+|---|---|---|
+| Frame management | **Verified:** existing SSH/HTTP operations for status, capture and file transfer work through MCP. Typed install/launch/power tools wrap the existing API. | Extend typed operations before adding generic mouse automation. Preserve explicit approval for consequential changes. |
+| App/window observation | **Verified 2026-09-29:** `computer_state` reads gamescope X11 window/app/process triples, focused app and the installed AT-SPI library. | Bounded to 96 accessible nodes and six levels. Trees may be truncated, stale, hidden or incomplete. Snapshot paths and XIDs are observations, never durable action permissions. |
+| Chromium page content | **Verified previously:** the assistant rendered and could be exercised through CDP in an isolated Frame Chromium profile. | A shipped click/type surface needs exact owned browser/target binding, fresh element references, lifecycle cleanup, consent and post-action readback. Do not expose unrestricted JavaScript or attach to arbitrary existing profiles automatically. |
+| Steam UI | **Verified 2026-09-29:** the AT-SPI service listed the Steam client's Chromium process and frame nodes, but child traversal was incomplete. Existing `frame_steam.py` uses Steam's loopback CDP endpoint for specific operations. | Prefer those narrow Steam interfaces. Presence of AT-SPI does not prove controls are actionable, and generic pointer injection is not proved for VR menus. |
+| Other Linux apps | **Verified 2026-09-29:** Frame ships libX11, libXtst and libatspi; `/dev/uinput` is writable by the current user. | Library presence and access permissions do not prove that a game accepts input. Global virtual input can affect whichever app has focus. Do not ship a blind keyboard/mouse tool on this evidence alone. |
+| Panel focus and layouts | **Documented in [#41](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/41):** `POST /api/panels` accepts `list`, `focus` and `open`. Focus was verified there. | Reuse that owned interface after integration. Its tested gamescope-owned overlay transform setters return `PermissionDenied`; no reliable saved spatial-layout interface was established. Do not duplicate its implementation here. |
+| Shared keyboard/trackpad | **Documented in [#19](https://github.com/saphid/frame-control/pull/19):** `/api/input` supplies state/start and event submission, implemented with a bundled KDE Connect daemon. | This branch does not import, launch or depend on that daemon. The user's own-implementation rule remains authoritative. A first-party input implementation or permitted bundled-library route needs its own delivery evidence before MCP integration. |
+| Physical/device boundaries | **Documented:** an asleep Frame may be off the network; power authorization can require the user's password; physical pairing and headset fit/comfort require the user. | MCP cannot bypass offline hardware, consent, compositor permissions or physical verification. Keep explicit human handoffs. |
+
+## Reusing the existing computer-use work
+
+**Documented:** the installed `cua-driver` skill has the right control pattern:
+observe an exact window, use a semantic target if available, fall back to pixels
+from that same snapshot, then read back the result. Its browser route requires
+an exact process/window/target binding and session-scoped element references.
+Those are useful design rules for Frame tools.
+
+**Verified locally 2026-09-29:** `cua-driver describe get_window_state` describes
+host-local process/window IDs and macOS AX inspection. It does not establish an
+SSH Frame target. The installed skill's advertised Linux companion file is
+missing. A native ARM64 Frame backend, its dependencies and remote transport
+have not been verified. We therefore do not claim that the existing Mac driver
+can control the Frame by passing it a Frame PID or screenshot, and we do not
+make the feature depend on installing that application.
+
+Frame Control's `computer_state` is our own Python implementation over installed
+platform libraries. It sends the probe over SSH stdin, writes no helper to disk,
+and exits after one observation. Missing displays/libraries return explicit
+errors; a 15-second process deadline prevents a stalled accessibility call from
+leaving a probe behind. Window names and accessibility text are untrusted app
+content, never instructions to an agent.
+
+**Recommended next implementation:** an isolated Chromium session with typed
+snapshot/click/type/scroll tools and exact fresh target binding, then individually
+verified native app actions. Use the headset capture to judge appearance, not to
+invent a screen-to-window coordinate transform. Direct tool calls must retain
+approval rules; a generic computer-use tool must not become a route around the
+MCP approval panel, install confirmation or power confirmation.
+
+## Isolated browser input proof
+
+**Verified 2026-09-29, SteamOS 0.4.1, BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901:** a temporary
+Frame Chromium profile loaded a local test page through an SSH reverse tunnel.
+CDP `Input.insertText` entered the test string in its own input. A CDP
+`Input.dispatchMouseEvent` press/release on its own button copied that string
+to the page's result; DOM readback matched exactly. The browser profile,
+loopback forwards and panel log were removed afterward. No user app was typed
+into, no global settings were changed and no third-party helper app was used.
+
+AT-SPI did **not** expose the test page's controls in that same probe, even with
+Chromium's renderer-accessibility flag. It returned the partial Steam-client
+tree instead. The reason remains **unverified**; this is an evidence gap, not
+proof that Frame accessibility cannot work. For a first implementation,
+Chromium's proven page-specific CDP route is stronger than assuming complete
+AT-SPI coverage. This proof does not ship unrestricted click/type tools or
+establish input delivery to SteamVR's menus.

-  `wifi.wake-on-wlan`". The Frame sets none (checked 2026-09-28), so it falls
-  back to `ignore`, which leaves the chip untouched and doesn't clear an armed
-  chip. `0` disarms it:
-  ```sh
-  set -e
-  U=$(nmcli -t -f UUID,DEVICE c show --active | awk -F: '$2=="wlan0"{print $1}')
-  [ -n "$U" ] || { echo "no active connection on wlan0"; exit 1; }

-  ```
-  Use the **active** connection on wlan0, because there can be same-name
-  duplicates. `c modify` saves the setting. `device modify` changes only
-  WoWLAN on the live device, unlike `device reapply`, which would also apply
-  any other saved changes such as IP or DNS. Tested 2026-09-28: Wi-Fi stayed
-  connected. NetworkManager only allows the
-  modify under `systemd-run --user`. From SSH it's `auth`. Leave the profile
-  at `0`, since that stays safe even if a global `wifi.wake-on-wlan` is added
-  later. Setting the recorded old value back is **ask**. On 2026-09-28 the
-  profile was set back to `default` by hand. If the Wi-Fi is `unavailable`,
-  there's no active connection, so this has to wait for the reboot, and then
-  arming comes from the profile.
-- **`unavailable` after resume (user/ask).** Do a **clean** reboot: power
-  menu, or `sudo systemctl reboot` over USB-C. Never reload the module.

-- **Broken displays (DSI timeouts).** The chain is: the GPU can't present,
-  vrcompositor SEGVs on its first frame, `steamvr.service` fails and stops the
-  gamescope VR session, and gamescope and Steam get SIGKILLed. The user sees
-  "There was an issue launching Steam". Fix (**ask/user**): a **clean**
-  reboot. An unclean reset after a kernel oops caused it, and the clean reboot
-  had 0 DSI errors (2026-09-28). Don't touch Steam while this is happening.
-- **Leftover SteamVR processes (2026-09-26 21:22 boot).** A first
-  `steamvr.service` start failed on `dependency`, its vrserver, XRService and
-  vrcompositor kept running, and each restart crashed against them. The same
-  fix as the next item applies, with the same guard.
-- **gamescope crash loop on `!modifiers.empty()`** (verified 2026-09-25,
-  [apks.md](apks.md)). gamescope keeps attaching to SteamVR processes orphaned
-  from a dead session. The broad fix is
-  `for p in vrdashboard vrcompositor vrserver; do pkill -TERM -x $p; done`,
-  and it recovers within about a minute. That kills **every** matching
-  process, including a working session, so it's always **ask**. A doctor may
-  signal automatically only **individually verified stale PIDs**, and only
-  when **all** of these hold:
-  - The loop is live: new vrcompositor/gamescope crashes in the last 2
-    minutes, and `NRestarts` rising between two reads.
-  - The process started before the current `steamvr.service` main process:
-    compare `ps -o pid,lstart,args -C vrserver,vrcompositor,vrdashboard`
-    with `systemctl --user show steamvr.service -p ExecMainStartTimestamp`.
-  - The journal ties it to the failed run:
-    `Found left-over process <pid> (…) in control group`.
-
-  Re-read `/proc/<pid>/stat` start time and `comm` just before signalling, and
-  signal by number, never by name. A process that's merely outside
-  `steamvr.service`'s cgroup could be a legitimate launch, so that's **ask**.
-- **Standby test settings left on.** Check that `vrcmd --get-settings`
-  (or `~/.config/openvr/config/steamvr.vrsettings`) shows
-  `power.pauseCompositorOnStandby` = 1 and `power.turnOffScreensTimeout` = 5.
-  If they differ, report a WARN and leave them alone (**ask**), since the user
-  may want them. If a doctor run changes them for a test, it must snapshot both
-  values first, including whether they were set in `steamvr.vrsettings` at all.
-  Afterwards it restores exactly those values, removing the keys if they were
-  absent, rather than the defaults 1 and 5.
-  The bool setter needs `1`/`0`, not `true`
-  ([how-the-frame-works.md](how-the-frame-works.md)).
-- **Dashboard open over an app** (`visible-blurred` just means it's open).
-  Run `SteamClient.OpenVR.VROverlay.HideDashboard()` over CDP on port 8080
-  only when the doctor itself is driving an app test. Otherwise it's **ask**,
-  because the user may have opened it.
-- **Steam launch stuck in standby** at `ShowInterstitials`/`CreatingProcess`
-  (`console_log.txt`). Run `SteamClient.Apps.ContinueGameAction(<action id>,
-  "<appid>", "<task>")` over CDP.

-## 4. Steam client and the SteamOS health checks
-
-| Check | Healthy | Broken |
-|---|---|---|
-| `systemctl --user show steam.service -p NRestarts` | `0` or stable | climbing every ~15 s |
-| `tail -n 40 ~/.local/share/Steam/logs/connection_log.txt \| grep -a "Logged On"` | `[Logged On, …] [U:1:<id>]` | only `[Logged Off, 0, 0] [U:1:0]` |
-| `grep -a BVerifyInstalledFiles ~/.local/share/Steam/logs/steam_output.log` | none | `<file> is N bytes, expected M`, `bad symlink …` |
-| last line of `steam_output.log` | client running | `Installing update...` or `Extracting package...` for minutes |
-| `pgrep -af child-update-ui` + `/proc/<pid>/wchan` | none | `drm_syncobj_array_wait_timeout` |
-| `cat /run/user/1000/steam{,vr}-short-session-tracker; ls -l` those files | empty | `frog…` / `frog:glasses:…` building up |
-
-Check section 3 first. If the displays are broken, Steam can't get past its
-first frame, whatever the files look like.
-
-**The two health checks** (read from `/usr/share/deckard/`, 2026-09-28):
-
-- `steam-health-check` (run by `steam.service`) appends `frog` to
-  `steam-short-session-tracker` for each run that fails in under 120 s or lasts
-  under 5 s. At 5 it runs `do_repair`. On BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901 the
-  script deletes `~/.steam` (keeping `registry.vdf`) and then either extracts
-  `/usr/lib/steam/steam.tar.zst` (705 MB) over `~/.local/share/Steam` (the
-  "unpacked" install this Frame has) or, on an overlay install, deletes the
-  upper-dir files that shadow `/usr/local/steam`. Then it touches
-  `.install-complete`. It also repairs at **every Steam start** if
-  `.install-complete` is missing, whatever the counter says.
-- `steamvr-health-check` (run by `steamvr.service`) appends `frog:glasses:`
-  for each failed or under-10-s SteamVR run. At 3 it runs `steam-health-check
-  --repair-now`. At 4 it also runs `steamos-bootconf set-mode reboot-other`,
-  which fails as non-root.
-- **What a repair erases isn't consistent across notes.** On 2026-09-26
-  (BUILD_ID 20260922.6101926) the boot-loop row in
-  [how-the-frame-works.md](how-the-frame-works.md) records that all of
-  `~/.local/share/Steam` was deleted, including games, login and Developer
-  Mode. On 2026-09-28 the scripts above only extract over it, a repair ran at
-  21:13 (`.install-complete` mtime), and the login survived. Treat any repair
-  as possibly destructive. Before a restart that could trigger one, check that
-  `.install-complete` exists.
-- **Stop them counting while you fix the cause (safe, resets at boot).** Do
-  this **first**, right after connecting, if `NRestarts` or either tracker is
-  rising, before any long checks:
-  ```sh
-  rc=0
-  for f in /run/user/1000/steam-short-session-tracker /run/user/1000/steamvr-short-session-tracker; do
-    { [ -e "$f" ] || : > "$f"; } && chmod u+w "$f" && : > "$f" && chmod 444 "$f" || rc=1
-    # verify: empty and not writable
-    [ -e "$f" ] && [ ! -s "$f" ] && [ ! -w "$f" ] && echo "frozen $f" || { echo "NOT frozen $f"; rc=1; }
-  done
-  exit $rc
-  ```
-  A doctor must stop and not restart Steam or SteamVR unless this exits 0.
-  It's idempotent, so run it on files that are already 444. Both were
-  already 444 on 2026-09-28, applied by an earlier session. This only stops
-  the **counting**. The start-time repair when `.install-complete` is missing
-  still runs. Re-apply after every reboot while the loop's cause is unfixed.
-
-Fixes:
-
-- **Verify files yourself (safe, read-only).** The record is
-  `~/.local/share/Steam/package/steam_client_<branch>_linuxarm64.installed`,
-  with lines of `path,size;mtime;crc32` (size `-1` is a directory). Compare
-  sizes and `zlib.crc32` (13,518 files on 2026-09-28). `steam_output.log` is
-  rewritten on every launch, so copy it before the next restart. `bad symlink`
-  reports taken mid-extraction are transient.
-- **Truncated files (ask).** Restart Steam (`systemctl --user restart
-  steam.service`), and it re-verifies and re-extracts from `package/`.
-  Preconditions:
-  - The displays are healthy.
-  - The trackers are frozen.
-  - `.install-complete` exists.
-  - The updater is idle: the `steam_output.log` tail hasn't changed for 60 s
-    and the steam process isn't writing (`/proc/<pid>/io` `write_bytes` is
-    steady).
-  - No game or app is running.
-
-  Re-verify afterwards.
-- **Updater deadlocked on the update UI.** Kill only the `-child-update-ui`
-  process, and the install continues (worked 2026-09-26). On 2026-09-28 it
-  was followed by a truncated `steamui.so`, so re-verify afterwards. If the
-  deadlock came from broken displays, fix those first.
-- **Stale pending install (ask, with backup).** `package/steam_client_<branch>_linuxarm64`
-  with no extension means an install is pending. Only act when all of these hold:
-  - `cmp` shows it's identical to `.manifest`.
-  - The verify is clean.
-  - The updater is idle (as above).
-
-  Then stop Steam, move it to `~/.cache/frame-control/…pending-backup`, and
-  start Steam. The log should
-  show `Nothing to do`, then `Verification complete`, then webhelpers.
-- **Heavy repair (ask).** `steam-health-check --repair-now`, or the boot
-  menu's `Repair Steam Installation` (section 12).
-- **Dead ends (don't repeat).**
-  - `STEAM_EXTRA_ARGS=-no-child-update-ui` still draws GLX in-process and
-    blocks.
-  - With `DISPLAY` unset, Steam exits ("XOpenDisplay failed"), with no text
-    fallback.
-  - Xvfb has no GLX visual here.
-- Steam's launch path is `steam.service` → `/usr/share/deckard/select_steam.sh
-  RUNSTEAM.sh`. Runtime drop-ins in `/run/user/1000/systemd/user/steam.service.d/`
-  are cleared at reboot. Remove any you add.
-- **`create-shortcut` refuses ids with hyphens** (`missing/invalid arguments`).
-  Ids must match `^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_.]+$`. It reports "Steam client is not
-  running" when Steam is down, and re-running finishes the install without a
-  re-upload ([sideloading.md](sideloading.md)).
-
-## 5. Idle sleep and keep-awake
-
-- **Frame slept mid-task.** SSH doesn't count as activity, and Steam's idle
-  timer (`system_idle_suspend_ac_sec` 3600, `…_battery_sec` 900) suspends it.
-  The journal shows `Switching to power state: [ k_ESystemPowerState_Sleep ]`.
-  Fix (**safe**): `scripts/keep-awake.sh on` before long work and `off` after.
-  It uses one shared unit and one saved-settings file. So a doctor records
-  whether `fc-keep-awake` was already active, and runs `off` only if it was
-  the one that turned it on. Otherwise it releases another task's lock and
-  restores that task's saved timers.
-  It sets both timers to 0 and holds the `fc-keep-awake` user-unit inhibitor.
-  A plain SSH-session inhibitor is refused.
-- **Check:** `systemctl --user is-active fc-keep-awake`,
-  `systemd-inhibit --list | grep "Frame Control"`. WARN if it's held with no
-  agent working, since that drains the battery on battery power.
-- **Charging shows "Discharging" at ~0 W while full on a charger.** This is a
-  reporting quirk. Treat under 0.5 W on a charger as "not charging"
-  ([how-the-frame-works.md](how-the-frame-works.md)).
-
-## 6. Remote wake
-
-It doesn't work on this build. WoWLAN arms, but the WCN7850 is reset in both
-`deep` and `s2idle`, packets don't wake it, and Wi-Fi is dead after resume.
-Tested 2026-09-28. Details are in [how-the-frame-works.md](how-the-frame-works.md)
-and [open-questions.md](open-questions.md). Doctor checks: `cat
-/sys/power/mem_sleep` should read `s2idle [deep]` (resets at boot), and WoWLAN
-should be disabled.
-
-## 7. Lepton (Android)
-
-| Check | Broken sign |
-|---|---|
-| `podman ps --format '{{.Names}} {{.Ports}}'` | two containers with the same name or instance, or both bound to the same host port. Several instances with different ports are normal ([apks.md](apks.md)) |
-| journal `pasta` | `Listen failed for HOST TCP port 0.0.0.0/16385: Address already in use` repeating |
-| journal | `android.hardware.graphics.composer@2.1-service` or `surfaceflinger` aborts right after an app crash |
-| `dmesg` / journal | floods of `binder_user_error: N callbacks suppressed` near `app_process64` crashes |
-| journal | `Clearing baked app data due to non steamlaunch container` |
-
-- **Duplicate Lepton containers or port clash (2026-09-25 21:01).** Two
-  `pasta` instances fought over 16385, and a minute later the compositor,
-  webhelper, Android composer, surfaceflinger and gamescope crashed together.
-  Fix (**ask**): find the two instances that share the port (`podman ps`,
-  `ss -ltnp | grep 16385`) and stop only the duplicate. Leave other instances
-  running.
-- **Lepton's graphics HAL aborts after an app crash, taking the container down**
-  (3 times on 2026-09-25). It's intermittent, so retry ([apks.md](apks.md)).
-  Then check section 3 for a gamescope loop.
-- **All ADB-installed apps gone.** Lepton Development wipes its data whenever
-  it exits outside a Steam launch. Use `install-apk.sh` (a per-app Steam
-  launch, whose data survives), or the launch option `LEPTON_NO_CLEANUP=1
-  %command%` (inferred) ([apks.md](apks.md)).
-- **App dies on first file write with `ENOENT`.** Its `STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH`
-  is outside `~/.local/share/Steam`. Use `steamapps/compatdata/<id>`.
-- **Lepton won't start outside Steam.** Set `IS_PARENT=true` and use `setsid
-  --wait`. "unbound variable" means `STEAM_COMPAT_SHADER_PATH` is unset
-  ([apks.md](apks.md)).
-- **App compatibility, not a fault** ([apks.md](apks.md)):
-  - Compose older than 1.11, SDL2/Kivy and Godot 4.3 crash on the missing
-    clipboard service.
-  - `INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK` means minSdk is over 30.
-  - `INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS` means there's no arm64 build.
-  - `monkey` returning `-5` means you should launch the activity directly.
-    `--brief` prints a metadata line first, so take the last line:
-    `adb -s $S shell am start -W -n "$(adb -s $S shell cmd package resolve-activity --brief -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER <pkg> | tail -n 1)"`.
-
-## 8. Chromium XR (panels, Mac view, WebXR)
-
-- **16 crashes on 2026-09-26/27.** The logs showed `Failed to create a
-  temporary file for memory-mapping: No such process (3)`, then `Received
-  signal 11 SEGV_MAPERR`. The cause isn't known yet. Check with
-  `coredumpctl list chrome --since -1d`.
-- **Zygote crash about 30 s after a Steam-launched start.** Steam's
-  `gameoverlayrenderer.so` is in `LD_PRELOAD`, and the launcher strips it
-  (verified 2026-09-27, [webxr-chromium.md](webxr-chromium.md)). Check that
-  the running chrome's `/proc/<pid>/environ` has no `gameoverlayrenderer`.
-- **XR process seccomp crash (syscall 209) or `VRInitError_Init_Internal`.**
-  The launcher runs with `--disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox`. Use that profile
-  only for VR sites ([webxr-chromium.md](webxr-chromium.md)).
-- **Mac view kept working when Steam was down** (2026-09-28). It's a separate
-  Chromium talking to the Mac over the LAN. It's a useful way in when Steam is
-  broken, but it's killed by any reboot and needs relaunching.
-
-## 9. KDE Connect
-
-- **`kdeconnectd` crashed on 2026-09-28 17:01** in `kdeconnect_sms.so` under
-  `Device::~Device` (device teardown). Check whether it's still running with
-  `pgrep -f frame-control/kdeconnect/root/usr/lib/kdeconnectd`. Fix
-  (**safe**): restart it the way this repo launches it. A doctor should
-  report a missing daemon rather than guess.
-
-## 10. Streaming and capture
-
-- **`ffmpeg` crash with `h264_v4l2m2m`** (hardware encoder, 2026-09-25/26).
-  Use `libx264 -preset ultrafast -tune zerolatency`
-  ([how-the-frame-works.md](how-the-frame-works.md)).
-- **`vrcmd --screenshot` writes nothing.** Use `ui/frame_vrshot.py`
-  (`IVRScreenshots`).
-- **No Mac cursor in the VNC mirror.** Load `scripts/mac-cursor-ring.lua` in
-  Hammerspoon on the Mac (`dofile(".../scripts/mac-cursor-ring.lua")` in
-  `~/.hammerspoon/init.lua`). It isn't a standalone script. Toggle it with
-  ctrl+alt+cmd+M.
-- **Remmina asks for the Mac login password.** macOS offers RFB type 30
-  first. Seed the password with `--update-profile … --set-option password`
-  ([streaming.md](streaming.md)).
-
-## 11. Panels
-
-- **Window stays on the default panel.** Run one `panel-on-frame.sh` at a
-  time. Tag windows by hand with `DISPLAY=:0 xprop -id <win> -f STEAM_GAME 32c
-  -set STEAM_GAME <id>` ([panels.md](panels.md)).
-- **Single-instance apps** (Remmina, KDE). Close them in Plasma first.
-- **Wayland-only apps** can't be floated this way.
-- **Dragging selects instead of scrolling.** That's by design for tagged
-  windows (laser mode).
-- **`Failed to get app info`** for a made-up id is benign.
-
-## 12. Boot loop, recovery, re-image
-
-Work down this list, least destructive first ([recovery-and-images.md](recovery-and-images.md)).
-The boot menu is inferred from Valve's docs and hasn't been tried on this Frame.
-
-1. **If the Frame is reachable, freeze the health-check trackers first and
-   verify them** (section 4), then diagnose. A reboot clears the freeze and
-   restarts the failing services, and 3 SteamVR failures trigger a repair.
-2. **Clean reboot** only when the diagnosed fault needs one (broken displays,
-   dead Wi-Fi). Straight after reconnecting, freeze and verify the trackers
-   again before anything else.
-3. **Boot menu (user):** shut down cleanly if the Frame responds. Hold Power
-   ~10 s until the LED is off only if it doesn't, and never while Steam is
-   extracting or repairing. Then power on holding **AUX** (top button). Choose `Previous` (the other A/B slot, keeps data),
-   then try `Repair Steam Installation`.
-4. **`Erase User Data`** wipes `~`: SSH keys, Tailscale, Flatpaks and setup
-   (**ask**).
-5. **Re-image** with `steamframe-oobe-repair-<build>` over USB or cable/EDL
-   (`qdl`). Copies are in `~/Downloads/steam-frame-recovery/` (**ask**).
-
-## What a doctor script should do
-
-1. Find a path (Tailscale, then LAN, then USB), and report which one worked.
-2. Print uptime, the last boots, and whether the previous boot ended in an
-   oops.
-3. Run the read-only checks in sections 2–11 and print one line each: OK,
-   WARN or BROKEN.
-4. **Order matters.** If a restart loop is live (`NRestarts` or a tracker
-   rising between two reads a few seconds apart), freeze the trackers
-   **before** any other check. Then fix displays before Steam. After any
-   reboot, check the trackers again, because they reset.
-5. Apply only **safe** fixes, printing each command. For reboots, deleting
-   profiles, heavy repairs and anything touching a user profile: print the
-   fix and ask.
-6. Never do anything under "Never do these".
-7. Re-run the checks after any fix and report the before and after.
-8. The fake-Frame harness (`fakeframe-ctl sleep|disk-full|sshd|devkit-service|keys`,
-   [testing.md](testing.md)) can exercise the unreachable, disk-full and
-   no-SSH branches without a headset.

-## Incident 2026-09-28
-
-| Time | What happened |
-|---|---|
-| 19:36 | WoWLAN armed, `deep` suspend, magic packets sent. No wake. Power-button resume: chip in MHI RESET, Wi-Fi dead. User restarted. |
-| 20:10 | WoWLAN disarmed. Clean boot, no DSI errors. |
-| 20:29 | `s2idle` via sudo, WoWLAN re-armed, suspend. No wake, same chip reset, Wi-Fi `unavailable`. |
-| 20:57:53 | Over USB-C: `modprobe -r ath12k`, and the **kernel oopsed** and the Frame reset itself. |
-| 20:58 | Boot with `steamclient.so` truncated (18.6 of 50.3 MB) and DSI timeouts from +28 s. Steam "couldn't connect", then "There was an issue launching Steam". Mac view still worked. |
-| 21:00–21:13 | Steam re-extracts and hangs on "Installing update..." (update UI stuck on the GPU). Killing the UI child let it continue, and `steamui.so` was later found truncated. The health-check repair ran at 21:13. |
-| 21:28 | Own CRC check: all 13,518 files OK. |
-| 21:30 | Moved aside the identical pending manifest. Steam reached login, then died every ~15 s: vrcompositor SEGV on DSI timeouts. |
-| 21:39 | User did a clean reboot. 0 DSI errors, Steam logged on 21:40:30, NRestarts 0. |

It was unreachable for about 2.5 hours until woken. Nothing over SSH can wake it. **Verified 2026-09-27.** | Frame Control's offline banner and retries |
 | **What puts it to sleep is Steam's idle timer**, not logind. The journal shows `steamui_system: Switching to power state: [ k_ESystemPowerState_Sleep ] reason: 'ComputeNextPowerState: active: 3600 < 3600 (k_EACState_Connected)'`, then Steam suspends. SSH work doesn't count as activity. The timers are the client settings `system_idle_suspend_ac_sec` (3600) and `system_idle_suspend_battery_sec` (900); 0 means Never (Settings → Power → Sleep after inactivity). They can be written over DevTools the way the settings page does. logind refuses a `systemd-inhibit --mode=block` sleep lock from an SSH session (`Interactive authentication required`) but accepts one started with `systemd-run --user`. `scripts/keep-awake.sh on|off|status` does both and restores the old timers on `off`. **Verified 2026-09-28**, BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901. Whether Steam's suspend honours the inhibitor on its own is **inferred** (polkit gives `steamos` no `suspend-ignore-inhibit`), not tested. | Keeping the Frame awake for agent work |
-| **Wake-on-WLAN doesn't work from `deep` or `s2idle`, and leaving it on breaks Wi-Fi after resume. Leave it off.** Sleep is `PM: suspend entry (deep)` (`/sys/power/mem_sleep` = `s2idle [deep]`). The Wi-Fi is a WCN7850 on `ath12k_pci` (PCIe, SM8650). Magic-packet WoWLAN can be armed without sudo: under `systemd-run --user --wait --pipe`, `nmcli c modify <connection> 802-11-wireless.wake-on-wlan magic` then `nmcli device reapply wlan0` makes `iw phy phy0 wowlan show` report `wake up on magic packet` (from SSH, `settings.modify.system` is only `auth`). **Tested 2026-09-28**, BUILD_ID 20260925.6191901, on the charger: after `PM: suspend entry (deep)` at 19:36:55, a unicast magic packet (UDP 9 and 7, to 192.168.1.237, with the Mac's ARP entry still present) and broadcast packets (192.168.1.255 and 255.255.255.255) got no wake in 30 s each. On a manual power-button wake 12 min later, the journal showed the chip had been reset during sleep: `mhi mhi0: Resuming from non M3 state (RESET)`, then `ath12k_pci: failed to wakeup from wow: -110`, WMI timeouts, `wiphy_resume returns -11`. Wi-Fi then disconnected and didn't come back, and the Frame needed a restart. So WoW did arm (no power-down fallback), but the WCN7850 loses power in `deep`. To turn it off, `wake-on-wlan default` alone doesn't clear the chip. `default` means NM's global `wifi.wake-on-wlan`, and the Frame sets none, so it falls back to `ignore`, which leaves the chip untouched. Set `0` and reapply (`WoWLAN is disabled.`), then set `default` again, or leave `0`. The Steam Deck with iwd fails differently: the NM setting never reached the driver there ([Switchboard](https://github.com/lfkdsk/Switchboard/blob/main/docs/steam-deck.md#wake-on-wlan)). `s2idle` failed the same way (tested 2026-09-28, set with `echo s2idle | sudo tee /sys/power/mem_sleep`, which lasts until reboot): `PM: suspend entry (s2idle)` at 20:29:57, no wake from unicast or broadcast packets, and on the power-button wake the same `Resuming from non M3 state (RESET)` and `failed to wakeup from wow`. Wi-Fi stayed `unavailable` until a restart. So the WCN7850 is reset during sleep either way. That points at ath12k WoW on this kernel/firmware rather than at the sleep depth. `systemctl suspend -i` under `systemd-run --user` asks for authentication, and plain `systemctl suspend` is refused while keep-awake's block inhibitor is held. | Waking the Frame remotely, [open-questions.md](open-questions.md) |

-- **Magic packet from `deep`: no (tested 2026-09-28).** Unicast and broadcast packets didn't wake it, the chip came back in MHI RESET, and Wi-Fi stayed broken until a restart. Details are in how-the-frame-works.md. Don't leave WoWLAN on with `deep`.
-- **`s2idle`: no (tested 2026-09-28).** Same chip reset and broken Wi-Fi as `deep`. SteamOS doesn't pick `deep` itself (no `sleep.conf.d`, no `mem_sleep_default`, and no sleep hook touching ath12k), so this was a clean one-setting test. Wake over Wi-Fi is out until a SteamOS/ath12k update. Re-test after updates.
-- **Recovering from the broken Wi-Fi: reboot cleanly, never `modprobe -r ath12k`.** On 2026-09-28, unloading the wedged driver oopsed the kernel (`Unable to handle kernel paging request`) and the Frame reset itself. The next boot had truncated Steam files (`steamclient.so`, then `steamui.so`), and the displays were broken for the whole boot (`msm_dsi … wait for video done timed out` from 28 s in, 240 times). `vrcompositor` segfaulted on its first present, `steamvr.service` took the gamescope session and Steam down every ~15 s, and the screen said "There was an issue launching Steam". Steam's updater also hung on the same GPU wait. The fixes: Steam re-verified its files, a leftover pending-install manifest identical to the `.manifest` was moved aside, and a clean reboot brought the displays back (0 DSI errors). The USB-C cable gives SSH at 10.86.200.233 when Wi-Fi is down. Checks and fixes are in [frame-doctor.md](frame-doctor.md).
-- **Charger / smart-plug wake (hypothesis):** during confirmed sleep, test
-  physically attaching the charger, detaching it, and switching off its AC
-  supply, each separately. If one works, a Home Assistant smart plug on the
-  charger can wake it while it keeps deep sleep.
-- **RTC dark wake:** a root `WakeSystem=yes` timer that checks for queued
-  work and suspends again. Needs a root unit.
-- **Controller wake:** does a paired controller's button wake it? `hci0` is a
-  UART radio with no paired devices listed, so the controllers may use a
-  separate link.
-- **AC-only Never:** `system_idle_suspend_ac_sec = 0`, with battery left at
-  15 min. This is Steam's own setting and needs no sudo, but the Frame stays
-  awake with its displays off rather than suspended. Measure wall power and
-  confirm the displays blank.
-- **Off the LAN:** a sleeping Frame's Tailscale can't receive anything, so
-  something awake on the LAN has to send the packet (for example the
-  EdgeRouter's `etherwake`, already used for lxso2, or the Mac).

+# Privacy and analytics
+
+Frame Control sends anonymous analytics to [PostHog](https://posthog.com)
+(US cloud) so the maintainer can see how many people use it, which features
+matter and where installs fail. You choose how much in **Privacy & updates**,
+the last panel on the page. `ui/frame_telemetry.py` is the whole
+implementation.
+
+## The three levels
+
+| Level | Default | What it sends |
+|---|---|---|
+| Anonymous usage statistics | On, after a notice on first run | The events in the table below |
+| Share compatibility results | Off | Your Android compatibility reports and tests |
+| Send error details | Off | Scrubbed error messages and tracebacks |
+
+Nothing is sent until the first-run notice has been shown. The notice's
+**Share more to help fix problems** button turns on the second and third
+levels together. Either can be turned off later. Turning a level off
+deletes that level's events that haven't been sent yet.
+
+**Show what's been sent** in the panel lists the last 50 events that left your
+computer, exactly as they were sent.
+
+## Anonymous
+
+- Events carry a random id, made when Frame Control first runs and kept in
+  its data folder (`telemetry/settings.json`). It isn't derived from your
+  computer, account or network. To get a new one, delete that file.
+- Events are sent without person profiles (`$process_person_profile: false`)
+  and without location lookup (`$geoip_disable: true`). Each carries a
+  placeholder address (`$ip: 0.0.0.0`), so PostHog stores that instead of
+  yours.
+- Every event includes the app version, OS name (macOS, Windows or Linux),
+  CPU architecture and Python version.
+
+## Usage events
+
+| Event | When | Properties besides the common ones |
+|---|---|---|
+| `app_installed` | First run | |
+| `app_updated` | First run of a new version | `from_version` |
+| `app_opened` | At most once a day | |
+| `frame_connected` | The first time a SteamOS build is seen | `steamos_build`, `steamos_version` |
+| `tab_viewed` | The first click on each tab in a session | `tab` |
+| `install_finished` | Any install finishes, working or not | `kind` (apk, flatpak, steam, title, web), `ok`, `seconds`, `error_category`, `installer_code`, and see below |
+| `update_offered`, `update_started`, `update_failed` | The update banner | `to_version`, `error_category` |
+
+`install_finished` never includes a file name, path or error message. An
+error becomes one category from a fixed list (for example `apk_wrong_abi` or
+`frame_unreachable`), plus Android's own `INSTALL_FAILED_…` code when there
+is one. It names what was installed only when that's already public:
+
+- F-Droid catalogue apps: `package`. Never the version, since a local build can reuse a
+  catalogue app's package name
+- Flathub apps: `flatpak_id`
+- Steam games: `steam_appid`
+- A sideloaded title: only its runtime (Proton or Linux)
+
+Any other APK is sent as `catalog: false`, with no name.
+
+## Compatibility results (opt-in)
+
+Each report becomes a `compat_report` event with the fields the Report dialog
+shows: package, version, result or rating, your notes, how it was run, and the
+SteamOS and Lepton builds. Before sending:
+
+- the notes, app name and version are scrubbed like error messages (see
+  below)
+- the APK's source is kept only if it's `F-Droid` or the public host name of
+  a download link (`https://example.com/…`). File names, user names,
+  passwords, ports, paths, IP addresses and local host names are dropped
+
+When you turn this on, reports you made earlier on this computer are shared
+too.
+
+The maintainer's `python3 ui/frame_compat_db.py sync` copies these events
+into the compatibility database, marked `via=community…`. It takes at most
+30 per reporter per day.
+
+## Error details (opt-in)
+
+`$exception` events carry an error message, the Frame Control file, line and
+function it came from, and the request that failed (for example
+`POST /api/android install`). Before anything is sent, the message is
+scrubbed:
+
+- your home folder becomes `~`, and any user name becomes `<user>`
+- IP and MAC addresses, email addresses, `.local`, `.lan` and Tailscale host
+  names, Steam ids, SSH and PEM keys, API tokens and long hex strings are
+  replaced
+- URLs are cut down to their scheme and a public host name, or `<url>`. User
+  names, passwords, ports, paths and queries are dropped
+- `token=`, `key=`, `password=` and similar values are replaced
+
+The same error is sent at most once every 10 minutes.
+
+## Report a problem
+
+**Report a problem** is the warning-sign button in the header, also in the
+Privacy panel and under **Help → Report a Problem…**. It sends the report
+privately to Frame Control's PostHog project as a `problem_report` event, the
+same way as the analytics above, so only the maintainer can read it and
+nothing is published. It works whatever the analytics settings are, because
+the person sends it deliberately. The report has the kind, title and text you
+wrote, how to reach you if you gave it, a short reference shown after sending,
+and the diagnostics below. It has its own random id, so it isn't linked to
+your analytics events.
+
+With **Include diagnostics** ticked (the default), the report adds:
+
+- the app version and whether it's a built app
+- the OS, its release and CPU, and the Python version
+- the Frame's SteamOS build, if it has connected since the app started
+- which analytics levels are on
+
+**Also include recent activity and the server log** is off by default,
+because those lines can name files and apps. When ticked, it adds the newest
+Activity lines and server log lines, without the request lines.
+
+Everything is scrubbed like error details and limited to what fits in the
+report. Environment details are kept first, then the newest lines. **Show
+exactly what's included** shows the snapshot that will be sent, and later
+activity isn't added to it. If PostHog can't be reached, **Copy report** puts
+the whole report on the clipboard.
+
+The maintainer reads reports on the Frame Control dashboard in PostHog, or
+with `python3 ui/frame_report.py inbox [days]`, which uses the same personal
+API key as `frame_compat_db.py sync`.
+
+## Turning it all off
+
+Untick the boxes, or set `DO_NOT_TRACK=1` or `FRAME_CONTROL_TELEMETRY=0` in
+the environment that starts Frame Control. A copy run from a source checkout
+never sends anything unless `FRAME_CONTROL_TELEMETRY=1` is set.
+
+## Update checks
+
+The desktop app asks GitHub for the latest release shortly after starting,
+then every 6 hours: the latest release's `update.json` on GitHub, or
+`api.github.com/repos/saphid/frame-control/releases/latest` if that fails.
+Those requests carry no id. To stop it, set
+`FRAME_CONTROL_NO_UPDATE_CHECK=1`. See [releasing.md](releasing.md).

+# Releasing and updates
+
+Frame Control checks for updates itself. The desktop app offers a new version
+only once it's GitHub's **latest release**, and drafts and pre-releases never
+count. So a build reaches people only when you publish it, after testing it.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. Bump `version` in `app/package.json`, commit, and push a tag:
+
+   ```sh
+   git tag v0.4.0 && git push origin v0.4.0
+   ```
+
+   `.github/workflows/release.yml` builds macOS, Windows and Linux, and
+   attaches everything to a **draft** release for that tag. Nobody is
+   offered a draft.
+
+2. Download the draft's installers and test them. An installed copy of the
+   previous version won't offer the draft, so install it directly.
+
+3. Write the release notes on the draft. The update banner links to them.
+
+4. Publish:
+
+   ```sh
+   scripts/publish-release.sh v0.4.0
+   ```
+
+   The script checks that all eight installers are attached, each with the
+   SHA-256 digest GitHub records. It attaches `update.json` (the version, the
+   notes and each installer's digest), then publishes the release and marks it
+   latest. From then on, running copies see the update. They check about 8
+   seconds after starting, then every 6 hours, and anyone can use **Check for
+   Updates…** (the app menu on macOS, the Help menu elsewhere).
+
+To pull a bad release, mark the previous one as latest
+(`gh release edit v0.3.9 --latest`) or turn the bad one back into a draft.
+Copies that already updated stay on it. Nothing downgrades them.
+
+## How a copy updates itself
+
+`app/updater.js` reads `update.json` from
+`github.com/saphid/frame-control/releases/latest/download/`. It falls back to the
+REST API only when a release has no manifest, because the API allows just 60
+unauthenticated requests an hour per IP address, shared by a whole household.
+Then it downloads the installer for its platform and checks it
+against the SHA-256 digest GitHub publishes for the asset. It refuses if the
+digest is missing or doesn't match. Then:
+
+| Installed from | Update |
+|---|---|
+| macOS `.dmg`, app in a writable folder such as Applications | The `.zip` is unpacked next to the app and its version checked. After the app quits, a small script swaps the new app in, putting the old one back if that fails, and reopens it. Updates don't get the download quarantine, so there's no `xattr` step. |
+| Windows installer | The new `Setup` runs silently over the install (`/S --force-run`) and reopens the app. |
+| Linux AppImage | The new AppImage replaces the old file and is started. |
+| macOS app still on the disk image or translocated, Windows `.zip`, Linux `.deb` | The banner opens the release page instead. |
+
+Version 0.3.1 and earlier have no updater, so people on them have to download
+the new version once by hand.
