+reports for Android apps on the Steam Frame. Only the maintainer's copy of
+Frame Control has the key to read or write it (see `shared()` in
+`ui/frame_compat_db.py`). Everyone else's reports stay on their computer
+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
+python3 ui/frame_compat_db.py sync --dry-run   # what would be added
+python3 ui/frame_compat_db.py sync             # add them
+```
+
+`sync` reads `compat_report` events through PostHog's query API and adds
+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,
+with the time they were made. `posthog-sync.json`, next to the outbox,
+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`)
 
 - Live: `https://frame-compat.lakebed.app` (deploy `dep_dDmcsosVSiFirpW6`,
   claimed, so it doesn't expire). The browser page only says it's private.

+# 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
+
+```
+Frame Control <version>: <the headline change>
+
+<one sentence on the headline change>. Also: <two or three short items>.
+
+Windows, macOS and Linux: <release link>
+#SteamFrame
+```
+
+The release title on GitHub uses the same `Frame Control <version>: <headline>`
+line, as 0.3.0 and 0.3.1 already do.
+
+### Roundups
+
+Small fixes that don't earn their own post wait for a roundup, posted with the
+next release or when three or more have piled up:
+
+```
+Fixed in Frame Control this week:
+- <fix>
+- <fix>
+- <fix>
+
+<link>
+```
+
+## Examples from what has already merged
+
+**#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

+# 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.

+# 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.

-![Our heart-rate panel on the Frame, showing synthetic 72 BPM](img/heart-rate-panel.png)
-
-The image is a capture of our own Frame window using a fake notification,
-not a real sensor reading.
-
-**Untested:** a real BLE strap's notifications, physical fit/contact behaviour,
-end-to-end heart-rate display/OSC/log with a strap, avatar response in VRChat,
-gaze accuracy/calibration, coexistence with every immersive app, in-headset
-panel placement, SlimeVR tracker/calibration data and the SlimeVR driver running
-inside SteamVR. No trackers or strap are attached. The driver was loaded in a
-separate process; it was **not registered or activated in SteamVR**. Steam and
-SteamVR were not stopped or restarted.
-
-**Verified blocker resolved:** importing `tkinter` fails because `libtk8.6.so`
-is absent. The panel uses the installed GTK4/GI bindings instead. The Frame's
-OpenXR headers advertise a newer API version than the runtime accepts; our
-reader requests OpenXR 1.0 explicitly.
-
-## Install our tools
-
-From this checkout on your computer, while the Frame is awake:
-
-```sh
-python3 scripts/tracking-on-frame.py install
-```
-
-This copies our Python code and compiles our small C OpenXR reader into
-`~/.local/share/frame-control/tracking/` on the Frame. It uses the Frame's
-existing compiler, OpenXR headers/loader, Python, dbus-python, GI and GTK4.
-Nothing is downloaded, and no sudo, driver registration, system setting,
-service or autostart is added. `FRAME_ALIAS` can select another SSH alias.
-The desktop app/server keeps its existing stdlib-only dependency set.
-
-## Eye tracking → OSC
-
-Start with a ten-second capability/data-availability check:
-
-```sh
-python3 scripts/tracking-on-frame.py gaze --seconds 10
-```
-
-This prints support, session-state numbers and sample counters. It opens no
-OSC socket and prints no gaze coordinates. Exit 0 means at least one valid
-sample, 3 means no valid sample was observed, and 1 means an API/runtime error.
-If there are no valid samples, wake/wear the headset and check its tracking
-setup; a successful capability check alone does not prove usable gaze.
-
-To send to VRChat running **on the Frame**, explicitly enable OSC in VRChat
-and choose its local UDP endpoint:
-
-```sh
-python3 scripts/tracking-on-frame.py gaze --seconds 3600 --osc 127.0.0.1 9000
-```
-
-For a receiver on another computer, replace `127.0.0.1` with that computer's
-IP address and choose its listening port. Addresses are IP literals (IPv4 or
-IPv6); there is no discovery or default destination. Loopback here always
-means **the Frame**, not the computer running the SSH command. OSC uses
-unencrypted UDP: configure only a receiver you intend to receive this data.
-
-**Documented:** [VRChat's eye OSC interface](https://docs.vrchat.com/docs/osc-eye-tracking)
-accepts `/tracking/eye/CenterPitchYaw` with two floats in degrees, positive down
-and right. We locate OpenXR's combined gaze pose relative to VIEW (the head),
-rotate its -Z forward vector and convert that direction to these angles.
-Only active, orientation-valid **and tracked** samples are sent, at up to
-30 Hz. No eyelid/blink, individual-eye or face values are invented. We do not
-send neutral gaze on tracking loss; VRChat's documented timeout restores its
-automatic eye behaviour after input stops.
-
-**Privacy:** gaze is personal data. It stays in process memory and a private
-pipe between our reader and bridge. There is no gaze log option, telemetry,
-OSC receiver or raw gaze on stdout/stderr. Only an explicit `--osc IP PORT`
-opens an output socket. Runtime diagnostics and validity counters are not
-measurements. Stop with Ctrl-C or let `--seconds` expire (maximum 24 hours).
-A lost headless session ends the run; it does not silently reconnect.
-
-## BLE heart rate → our panel, OSC and optional log
-
-First discover/pair your strap in SteamOS's Bluetooth settings. Select that
-strap's Bluetooth address explicitly; our tool does not scan for or connect
-to arbitrary nearby devices.
-
-```sh
-python3 scripts/tracking-on-frame.py heart \
-  --device AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF --panel --seconds 3600
-```
-
-This uses BlueZ's standard Heart Rate Service (`180d`) and Heart Rate
-Measurement (`2a37`) notifications. It finds the characteristic only beneath
-the selected device's HRS service. The reader handles 8- and 16-bit BPM,
-contact flags and optional energy/RR fields; energy and RR intervals are
-validated for length but discarded. Zero BPM, reported loss of skin contact,
-malformed packets and readings older than five seconds are not shown as a
-current measurement. A disconnect stops the run; reconnect and start again.
-This is a social/fitness readout, not a medical monitor.
-
-The panel is our GTK4 window on gamescope's X display. Use SteamVR's panel
-controls to float/dock it (see [panels](panels.md)). **Stop**, closing the panel,
-Ctrl-C, SSH hangup or the duration limit ends our subscription. A connection
-that was already open when we started is preserved; a connection we opened
-is disconnected on exit. No Bluetooth power or pairing state is changed.
-
-Add either output explicitly:
-
-```sh
-python3 scripts/tracking-on-frame.py heart \
-  --device AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF --panel --seconds 3600 \
-  --osc 127.0.0.1 9000 --address /avatar/parameters/HeartRate \
-  --log /home/steamos/heart-session.csv
-```
-
-The OSC value is integer BPM. `HeartRate` is a chosen avatar parameter, **not a
-built-in VRChat heart-rate feature**; your avatar/receiver must define the
-matching parameter. `--address` can select another literal OSC path. The local
-panel works without OSC, a log or an avatar integration.
-
-The optional CSV contains only `unix_seconds,bpm`. It is created privately
-(mode 0600), refuses existing files/symlinks, and lives **on the Frame** at the
-path you specify. Nothing is logged by default, and heart-rate values are not
-printed to the terminal. Delete your session file when you no longer need it.
-
-### Checking heart rate against a reference
-
-`scripts/heart-check.py` runs on your computer. `listen` shows our OSC
-readings live as they arrive, so you can watch them next to another device:
-
-```sh
-python3 scripts/heart-check.py listen --port 9000 --out ours.csv
-```
-
-Point the Frame at it with `--osc <your computer's IP> 9000`. `compare` lines
-up two recordings by time and reports the mean difference, bias, the share
-within ±5 BPM and the delay between them. It passes when the mean difference
-is at most 5 BPM, at least 80% of reference readings are matched and nothing
-was shown while the sensor reported lost skin contact:
-
-```sh
-python3 scripts/heart-check.py compare ours.csv reference.csv
-python3 scripts/heart-check.py compare ours.csv ~/Downloads/export.zip
-```
-
-The reference can be a CSV (`time,bpm[,flags]`, time in unix seconds or ISO
-8601) or an Apple Health export (`export.zip` or `export.xml`). Only heart-rate
-records within the recording's time range are read. Everything stays on your
-computer.
-
-`scripts/heart-test-strap.swift` turns a Mac into a synthetic strap. It
-advertises the standard Heart Rate Service and sends a fixed, known sequence
-(8-bit and 16-bit values and a skin-contact loss), printing each sent value, so
-`compare` can check that the Frame shows exactly what was sent. It needs
-Bluetooth permission for the process that runs it. **Untested on 2026-09-29:**
-it compiled, but on this Mac, launched from an agent session, macOS never
-delivered a Bluetooth state and no permission prompt appeared, so it never
-advertised.
-
-## Pulse from the eye cameras (experimental)
-
-The Frame has no heart-rate sensor. **Verified 2026-09-29** (SteamOS 0.4.1,
-build `20260925.6191901`): its sensors are an ambient light/proximity sensor
-(`vcnl4000`), a hall sensor (`als31300`), two passthrough cameras
-(`arcimx616`), two tracking cameras (`og01a1b`) and two IR eye cameras
-(`og0ve10`). There is no optical heart-rate (PPG) sensor.
-
-The experiment asks whether the eye cameras can see a pulse anyway. With each
-heartbeat, the blood volume in the skin around the eye changes slightly and
-its IR reflectance changes with it. This is camera-based photoplethysmography;
-near-IR works, though the signal is weaker than in green light.
-
-```sh
-python3 scripts/tracking-on-frame.py pulse --seconds 60 --show
-```
-
-How it works:
-
-- **Capture (verified).** SteamVR ships `eyetracking --calib N`, which saves
-  both eye cameras for N seconds as 400×400 8-bit IR PNGs with a monotonic
-  timestamp per frame, at about 90 fps per eye. SteamVR's live eye tracker,
-  part of `steamvr.service`, gets its frames from the DSP and stops its
-  cameras when the headset is off. Unworn captures ran alongside it: its PID
-  and log were unchanged and our OpenXR gaze session still started
-  afterwards. **Untested:** whether the capture and the live tracker coexist
-  while the headset is worn and tracking.
-- **Privacy.** Each image is reduced to a 16×16 grid of patch averages as
-  soon as it is complete, then deleted. Three worker processes do this beside
-  the capture. If more than 900 images (about five seconds) ever wait, we stop
-  reading them and delete them undecoded until the capture ends, and report
-  an error. The capture directory is removed on exit, even after errors. No image is kept or leaves the Frame. The estimate
-  is printed only with `--show`, and sent or saved only with `--osc` or
-  `--log`, as for the strap.
-- **Estimate.** Patch traces are averaged down to 15 Hz and turned into
-  relative change. A 2-second moving median removes drift and blinks.
-  Patches with frequent spikes (the eyeball and eyelid) are dropped, as are
-  dark or saturated ones. The 20% of patches with the clearest rhythm between
-  42 and 180 BPM are combined in the frequency domain. Output is an overall
-  estimate plus one estimate per second over 15-second windows. A result
-  counts as **clear** only when the top patches agree and the combined signal
-  stands out from the noise. Otherwise the command exits 3 and sends no OSC.
-  `--log` still records the per-second estimates, so a comparison shows how
-  far off an unclear result was.
-  The thresholds are provisional until checked on real wearers.
-
-**Verified on the Frame, unworn, 2026-09-29:** captures of 3,600-5,400 eye
-frames never had more than 8 images on disk, finished a few seconds after the
-capture ended and left no capture directory. **The estimator alone gave a
-false "clear" pulse.** With nobody wearing the headset, five runs reported a
-steady, self-consistent rhythm (90, 90, 93, 94 and 96 BPM; patch agreement
-100%, signal/noise 0.63-0.70), and earlier runs reported 127-129 BPM at lower
-signal/noise. It is a periodic camera or illumination artifact, and its
-frequency drifts between runs. A wearer-less scene cannot contain a pulse, so
-the signal/noise gate cannot tell this artifact from one. Because of that,
-`pulse` reads the Frame's proximity sensor (`vcnl4000`) before and after the
-capture. It reads about 3 unworn (**verified**). If either reading is below 20
-the result is never called clear, nothing is sent over OSC, and the command
-exits 3. **Inferred, unmeasured:** that a worn reading is well above 20; the
-cut-off is provisional until someone wears the headset. If the sensor can't be
-read, the guard is skipped. Confirming a real pulse also needs a reference
-(below).
-
-**Do not interrupt the capture. Verified on the Frame, 2026-09-29:** sending
-SIGTERM to `eyetracking --calib` left the DSP service's eye camera (OV6211)
-stuck "streaming": its log had no "Stopping streaming" line, and every later
-request failed with "Failed to start streaming". Head tracking kept working.
-Clearing it needs the DSP service restarted or the Frame rebooted, so `pulse`
-never signals the tool. After Ctrl-C or a failure it keeps deleting images
-until the tool ends by itself (at most the `--seconds` plus a few seconds),
-and only kills a tool that overruns by 30 s, with a warning that the eye
-cameras may need a reboot. So an interrupted run can take a while to return.
-
-**Verified on synthetic data** (unit tests): a 0.3% brightness pulse in a
-third of the patches, with noise, drift, blinks and eye movement, is
-recovered within 1.5 BPM at 58, 72 and 115 BPM; noise and blinks alone are
-not reported as a pulse. **Not yet verified:** whether a real wearer's eye
-images contain a usable pulse, and how accurate it is. That needs someone
-wearing the headset and a reference, as below.
-
-### Comparing with an Apple Watch
-
-1. On the watch, start a workout (for example **Other**) so it measures heart
-   rate every few seconds rather than occasionally.
-2. Put the Frame on, sit still and look ahead. Run:
-
-   ```sh
-   python3 scripts/tracking-on-frame.py pulse --seconds 120 --show \
-     --log /home/steamos/pulse.csv
-   ```
-
-   The per-second estimates print at the end. Compare them with what the
-   watch showed.
-3. End the workout. On the iPhone, open Health → your picture → **Export All
-   Health Data**, and AirDrop `export.zip` to the Mac.
-4. On the Mac:
-
-   ```sh
-   scp frame:pulse.csv . && ssh frame rm pulse.csv
-   python3 scripts/heart-check.py compare pulse.csv ~/Downloads/export.zip
-   ```
-
-This first version analyses after the capture ends, because the method must
-prove itself before a live panel is worth building. The Apple Watch is a
-reference, not ground truth: in workouts it is typically within a few BPM of
-a chest strap when you are still.
-
-## SlimeVR: feasibility only
-
-SlimeVR is an independent application stack. Neither of our features installs,
-launches or depends on it. Users who want it can follow
-[SlimeVR's setup documentation](https://docs.slimevr.dev/server/index.html).
-The consented upstream releases tested were
-[server v21.1.0](https://github.com/SlimeVR/SlimeVR-Server/releases/tag/v21.1.0)
-and [driver v6.0.0](https://github.com/SlimeVR/SlimeVR-OpenVR-Driver/releases/tag/v6.0.0),
-under SlimeVR's MIT/Apache-2.0 licensing.
-
-**Verified layout, read-only:** the Frame's registered runtime is `/opt/steamvr`;
-its native driver is `drivers/cv/bin/linuxarm64/driver_cv.so`, with a
-`drivers/cv/driver.vrdrivermanifest`. Frame controller manifests/resources are
-under `drivers/frame_controller/`. Configuration is under
-`~/.config/openvr/config/`, not the Steam client's config directory. The
-SlimeVR release also uses `slimevr/bin/linuxarm64/driver_slimevr.so` plus its
-manifest. Nothing in those installed SteamVR directories was changed.
-
-**Inferred:** the matching ABI/layout and standalone factory success make
-SteamVR integration plausible. They do not prove successful driver `Init`,
-server/driver IPC, tracking, or calibration. That needs a separate integration
-check with hardware and an agreed SteamVR restart. No Java executable was on
-PATH for this check, so an isolated JRE was used. SlimeVR's server opens LAN
-listeners; our temporary server was stopped and the temporary downloads,
-configuration and logs were removed. It is not left installed or running.
-
-## Tests and remaining checks
-
-```sh
-python3 -m unittest discover -s tests
-```
-
-`tests/test_tracking.py` covers HRS packet parsing, contact/staleness, OSC
-padding/types and a real loopback socket, quaternion signs, opt-in networking,
-private/exclusive logging and a fake BlueZ object tree. The fake checks service
-ownership, notification routing, delayed GATT discovery and connection cleanup.
-It does not pretend to be a physical strap or a real OpenXR runtime.
-
-Before calling hardware support complete, attach a strap and check BPM against
-its own display/reference, loss of contact, disconnect/reconnect, Stop, OSC and
-CSV together. Check avatar eyes while looking up/down/left/right in a supported
-VRChat session. No third-party tracking app is needed for either test.
-
-Independent review attempt: `devin -p --model swe-2-max` with the frozen diff,
-contribution standards and read-only instructions returned no output for ten
-minutes. It was terminated with exit 143. No completed review or actual model
-identity was returned; hardware checks and independent review remain follow-up
-work before making the draft ready.

-"""Experimental pulse estimate from the Frame's IR eye-tracking cameras.

-Skin brightens and darkens very slightly with each heartbeat as blood volume
-changes (photoplethysmography). The eye cameras film the skin around each eye
-under steady IR light at about 90 frames per second, so that rhythm may be
-visible in the average brightness of small patches of skin.
-
-Capture uses SteamVR's own `eyetracking --calib` mode, which writes PNG pairs
-to /tmp. Each image is reduced to a grid of patch averages the moment it is
-complete, then deleted; the capture directory is removed on exit. No image
-leaves the Frame or outlives the run. This is an experiment, not a medical
-measurement.

-Watch. `--out` also records `unix_seconds,bpm` to a new private file.
-
-`compare` lines up two recordings by time and reports how far apart they are.
-The reference can be:
-- a CSV whose first column is a time (unix seconds or ISO 8601) and whose
-  second is BPM, such as our own log, `listen --out`, or the test strap's
-  output (a third `flags` column marks skin-contact loss as "no reading");
-- an Apple Health export (`export.zip` or `export.xml`, from Health → your

+- diagnostics (opt-in): error messages and Python tracebacks, scrubbed of
