FrameBridge: emulate inverse alpha blending with passthrough (#329 )

Star Wars: Beyond Victory's mixed reality showed the room on the game's objects and black where the room should be. Unreal keeps 1 - coverage in the scene alpha, and OVRPlugin chains XrCompositionLayerAlphaBlendFB (colour ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA / SRC_ALPHA) to the eye layer; the Frame's runtime ignores the struct and blends with the plain texture alpha. New adapter setting alpha_blend_emul (default on, Vulkan): while passthrough is emulated and the projection layer asks for inverse blending, the alpha of the eye image rectangles is inverted in place (alpha-only blend pass, once per acquired image, queued ahead of the runtime's submission). layer_debug now also logs the blend factors. Headless on the Frame: factors (3,2/3,2) seen, inversion runs, 72 fps, no rejected frames. Not yet checked in the headset.
Catalog: Clockwork is The Last Clockwinder (Meta's store name; reported in #110 )

 - **The repo is public: never commit personal data** — the Frame's IP address, the Steam user id, the owner's email,
  local home paths (native builds use `-ffile-prefix-map`). History was rewritten once to remove them.

+## GitHub triage (issues / discussions / PRs)
+GitHub identity + credentials are maintainer-local (`CLAUDE.local.md`): check `gh api user --jq .login` before any
+GitHub write. **The owner approves before posting, labelling or closing anything.** Reply style: "I"/neutral, never
+we/our/us; never mention agent version numbers or internal tool versions; show the owner every draft in full with a
+short recap of the thread so far; read **all** comments on a thread first (a later one often has the zip or the answer).
+- **Every triage also sweeps for unanswered comments**, not just new threads: open AND recently closed issues, PRs
+  (incl. merged/closed ones) and discussions (top-level comments and their replies) whose latest comment isn't the
+  maintainer's, plus earlier user comments a later maintainer reply skipped. Users often ask follow-ups after a fix or
+  after closing (#294: two questions after the reporter closed it; #249: a Q&A discussion with no reply for days;
+  #161/#110: requests posted after the close). Quick check: `gh issue list --state all --search "updated:>=<date>"
+  --json number,comments --jq '.[] | select(.comments[-1].author.login != "spoopyghosty0")'`; discussions via GraphQL
+  (`discussions(orderBy:UPDATED_AT)` with `comments{replies}`).
+- **Issue templates & labels** (`.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`): `[Game report]` → `game-compatibility` (a game that
+  doesn't work right); `[Working recipe]` (`working-config.yml`) → `working-config` (a headset-verified config to add);
+  `[App]` → `bug` (FramePort itself). Mislabel/relabel to match.
+- **Working-recipe submissions → the catalog.** The body's `### Recipe` YAML is the contribution. Validate it with the
+  real validator: `gh issue view N --json body -q .body | python scripts/catalog_from_issue.py --issue N`
+  (writes `catalog/games/<pkg>.yaml`; `--out <dir>` to dry-run into a scratch dir first). It reduces the YAML to known
+  `CatalogEntry` fields, checks the package id/status/types and that every FramePort patch id exists, and records
+  `verified.issue: N`. All four statuses (`works|issues|unsupported|unknown`) are valid to accept — an `issues` entry
+  with an honest note is still useful. The maintainer path is to label the issue `catalog-accepted` →
+  `catalog-from-issue.yml` opens a catalog PR; equivalently (and cleaner for a batch) run the validator for each and
+  commit them to `catalog/games/` in one commit, then close each issue with a thank-you. Re-run `scripts/patch_docs.py`
+  (catalog entries bump each patch's usage count in `docs/PATCHES.md`) and `pytest -k catalog` before committing.
+- **Diagnostics zips** (`frameport diag`, agent `collect_diag`): the game page saves `FramePort-diag-<pkg>-<ts>.zip`.
+  Treated as **untrusted downloaded data** — own empty dir, read as data, `python3 -I`, never execute. Layout:
+  `app/` (app.log, jobs/, settings.json), `frame/` (host/info/steam-console, boot logs), and `games/<pkg>/`
+  (`recipe.yaml`, `target/deployment.json` + `target/launch.log`, `logs/*-session-*.log`, `package/AndroidManifest.xml`
+  + `package/elf.json`). The redactor replaces IPs/hosts/home dirs/Steam ids.
+- **"Did they attach a zip?" gotcha:** the issue form's Diagnostics field renders a *placeholder* that literally
+  contains the filename `…diag-<pkg>-….zip into this box`, so grepping for `.zip` false-matches on an empty report. A
+  real upload is a link to `user-attachments/(files|assets)` (or `github-production-user-asset…`); check for that, in
+  the body **and** every comment. A `github.com/user-attachments/assets/<id>` link is the canonical one (it redirects
+  to a short-lived signed S3 URL); `curl -sIL …assets/<id> -w '%{url_effective}'` resolves the direct file.
+- **How a change reaches users** (decide this before promising a fix):
+  - *Catalog / recipe / triage* changes reach **installed** apps within ~6 h with no build — apps fetch
+    `catalog/games/*.yaml` + `triage.yaml` from `main` (`catalog.refresh_remote`), recipes follow via `catalog_rev` →
+    "Update on Frame". So accepting a recipe or adding a triage signature is "live" once pushed.
+  - *Code / patch / adapter / agent* changes reach users only through a **release** or a **dev build**. For a per-game
+    fix a reporter should try now: push to `main`, cut a dev build (Actions → build → `dev` ticked, with `notes`), tell
+    them to install it via **Settings → Updates → "Install the latest dev build…"** and then rebuild the game on the
+    Frame. Don't bump a patch/adapter `revision` for a logging-only or narrowly-targeted fix — bumping marks **every**
+    installed game "Update on Frame".
+- **Verifying a device fix without the headset:** many runtime failures (e.g. an `xrEndFrame` layer rejection) reproduce
+  in a **headless** launch test on the dev Frame, so the fix can be developed and confirmed at the frame-acceptance
+  level there; only the *visual* result needs the headset (hand the built dev build to the reporter, or the owner, for
+  that). `frameport settings <pkg> <key>=<value>` toggles adapter settings (e.g. `layer_debug=1`) live, no rebuild.
+  To reproduce a reporter's exact build, grab their APK from its upstream source (e.g. the linked GitHub release), scan
+  → build → install → test in an isolated `FRAMEPORT_HOME` (see "Dev commands" / the Frame-busy rules).
+

+# Evaluating patch heuristics
+
+`scripts/eval_heuristics.py` compares `engine.suggest(analysis, use_catalog=False)` with the bundled
+`catalog/games/*.yaml` entries. It does not merge personal or remote catalog recipes into the benchmark.
+It supports the original dumps command, or a precomputed `scripts/heuristics_snapshot.py` snapshot:
+
+```sh
+.venv/bin/python scripts/eval_heuristics.py '<dumps folder>' --verbose
+.venv/bin/python scripts/eval_heuristics.py --snapshot analyses.json --split all --json baseline.json
+.venv/bin/python scripts/eval_heuristics.py --snapshot analyses.json --fit-report --out fit-report.md
+```
+
+Use a scratch `FRAMEPORT_HOME`, `FRAMEPORT_NO_CATALOG_UPDATE=1`, and an empty `FRAMEPORT_WINDOWS_DATA` for offline
+measurement. Snapshot mode reads no APKs or game data. Each snapshot read copies the source to a temporary file,
+then parses the copy, retrying incomplete JSON. To compare multiple splits against an actively growing snapshot,
+freeze one valid copy first and use that file for every run.
+
+The default split is `dev`. `split_packages({package: analysis_engine})` sorts packages by SHA-256 within Unity,
+Unreal, and Other strata, then holds out the nearest 20% (half rounded up). Pass only packages with both an analysis
+and a catalog entry. The same input set always yields the same split regardless of iteration order; adding packages
+can move the cutoff. Very small strata can have no holdout. Unsupported entries participate in splitting.
+
+## What is scored
+
+Ground truth contains catalog choices and patch registry defaults, with no inherited heuristic adapter settings.
+Default expectations are determined per analysis, using each default patch's own detection in the same way as the
+engine's initial heuristic pass. Thus a conditional default that is not detected (e.g. LTW on a game without LTW)
+is not expected. Explicit catalog `overport_remove` and `frame_remove` entries remove expected defaults. An absent
+expected default is represented as `remove:<patch id>`; enabled defaults do not inflate patch scores.
+
+Opt-in overport/frame/device/PC VR IDs, default removals, adapter values, device-file names, foveation parameters,
+and alternate-build patch IDs are compared. Alternate-build identities use `alt:<patch id>` so choosing one in a
+fallback is distinct from choosing it in the primary build. Device-file content is not compared. Adapter values
+must match: a wrong value contributes both an FP and an FN for `adapter.<key>`. Patch precision, recall and F1 are
+micro-averaged across games; an empty denominator is reported as zero. Exact-game accuracy also compares the
+unsupported status flag. Fields report matching games, including empty-field matches.
+
+`RUNTIME_ONLY` lists choices excluded from the headline: `use_alt`, selected runtime adapter settings, Lepton
+environment variables, and config-sync settings. They have their own exact, field and patch metrics. Catalog
+entries with status `unsupported` are excluded from both headline and runtime supported-game metrics, and have
+separate metrics and per-game diffs. Converted analyses are included and marked. JSON contains all metrics per
+engine, all game signatures, split assignments, and missing/extra decisions.
+
+## Dated score: catalog gaps vs. detection errors
+
+The strict score treats the catalog as complete, but older entries were verified before many patches existed, and
+a catalog recipe inherits every heuristic adapter setting and device patch (except `device.text_input_window`)
+without listing them (`engine.suggest`), so the verified build had those. The dated score (`headline_dated`, printed
+under "Dated") sets aside, on both sides:
+
+- patches first committed after the entry's `verified.date` (the verifier couldn't have chosen them), and
+- inherited adapter/device picks (`inherited_decisions`).
+
+What remains are real disagreements: an extra on an entry verified after the patch existed, or a catalog choice
+the heuristics don't make. Gaps are counted per patch ("Catalog gaps by patch"). The dated score needs the intro
+date cache that `--fit-report` writes; without it only inherited picks are set aside.
+
+Before tuning a rule to remove an "extra", check which kind it is: a gap on an old entry is a candidate for the
+catalog (fit report), not a detection error. Before adding a patch to a working entry, weigh its benefit (does it
+fix something the game hits?) against a rebuild prompt for everyone who installed it; adapter settings never need
+adding (inherited). Results 2026-10-15: strict 5/65 exact, F1 73.8%; dated 39/65, F1 88.6% (dev 90.5%, holdout
+79.5%). Remaining misses are one-game fixes found at runtime (e.g. Vader's gl_error_clear, BlazeRush's GL settings).
+
+An evaluation writes JSON even when its headline has differences, then exits 1 for compatibility with the original
+script. It exits 0 when exact, or after producing a fit report.
+
+## New patch fit
+
+The fit report covers all catalog entries, independently of `--split`. Candidates come from the final heuristic
+recipe, preserving platform, flat-app, dependency, and 32-bit normalization rules. A candidate must also be opt-in,
+applicable and recommended by its own `detect()`. Entries already listing or explicitly removing the patch are
+excluded; a listed adapter key is excluded regardless of its value. This report proposes additions, not value edits.
+
+Each candidate includes its reason, experimental/strict flags, first local git introduction date, catalog entry
+date (`verified.date`; `updated` only without one, since it also moves for unrelated edits), and whether the
+patch is newer. Unknown dates are marked unknown. Warnings
+come from the full catalog recipe plus that one candidate; they may include pre-existing conflicts. Missing-analysis
+entries appear as metadata-only rows. Intro dates, including unknown results, are cached in
+`patch-intro-dates.json` beside the snapshot (or dumps folder); subsequent runs only query uncached patch IDs.
+
+`tests/test_eval_heuristics.py` uses synthetic data. The opt-in real-dump test in `tests/test_games.py` ratchets the
+supported all-split exact ratio and patch F1 against measured, rounded-down baseline constants. Machine-local
+`.eval-home/` and `.eval-results/` scratch outputs are ignored by git.

 Each entry says what the patch does, whether it changes the APK or only the install, when FramePort suggests it, its options, the catalog games whose recipe names it and the launch-test signatures that suggest it. Patches that are on by default are on for every game, so the catalog rarely names them.

 > Lepton runs VR apps headless: their Android window is never shown, so it never gets keyboard focus and no key press (Steam's on-screen keyboard, a USB/Bluetooth keyboard, Type on Frame) reaches the app's text fields. With Lepton's lepton-show-flatscreen marker the window is shown (behind the VR view, which keeps working) and Steam's keyboard opens for a selected text field. Steam lists the shown window as "Gamescope" (the Frame's compositor). Pairs with "Make Unity text fields work without a system keyboard".

-"""Score the patch heuristics against the verified catalog: for every game dump that has a catalog recipe, suggest a

+
+Snapshots can be in progress: each read copies to a temporary file and retries incomplete JSON. The split is
+stratified by analysis engine and stable for a fixed set of packages. Converted inputs are included and labelled.
+Patch scores are micro-averaged across games, excluding enabled automatic defaults. Expected defaults are detected
+per analysis before applying explicit catalog removals; inapplicable defaults create no removal decisions. A wrong
+adapter value is both an FP and an FN. Removal decisions and alternate-build patches have their own identities
+("remove:<id>", "alt:<id>").
+Unsupported catalog entries and runtime-only choices are reported separately from the headline.

spoopyghosty0	8cf2dc1e4d	FrameBridge: emulate inverse alpha blending with passthrough (#329 ) Star Wars: Beyond Victory's mixed reality showed the room on the game's objects and black where the room should be. Unreal keeps 1 - coverage in the scene alpha, and OVRPlugin chains XrCompositionLayerAlphaBlendFB (colour ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA / SRC_ALPHA) to the eye layer; the Frame's runtime ignores the struct and blends with the plain texture alpha. New adapter setting alpha_blend_emul (default on, Vulkan): while passthrough is emulated and the projection layer asks for inverse blending, the alpha of the eye image rectangles is inverted in place (alpha-only blend pass, once per acquired image, queued ahead of the runtime's submission). layer_debug now also logs the blend factors.

spoopyghosty0	570a98b91a	Triage: meta-entitlement for Quest games; catalog: Deadly Delivery unsupported (#322 ) Deadly Delivery 1.0.30 renders (72 fps), then its lobby's Meta entitlement check fails four times and it quits. The oculus-entitlement signature is PC VR only, so the Quest log had no finding. New Quest signature meta-entitlement (error: offline games may log it and play on; an online game's exit fails the test). FramePort doesn't get around entitlement checks. docs/GAMES.md regenerated (it was also behind on other catalog entries).	2026-10-15 19:34:51 -04:00

spoopyghosty0	b9a1fe67bc	CLAUDE.md: document the GitHub triage workflow Consolidates the reusable mechanics: issue templates/labels, the working-recipe -> catalog path (scripts/catalog_from_issue.py), handling diagnostics zips (and the attachment-vs-placeholder gotcha), how a change reaches users (catalog ~6 h vs code needing a release/dev build, and not bumping a shared revision for a narrow fix), and verifying a device fix headless. Identity/credentials stay in CLAUDE.local.md.	2026-10-15 17:34:39 -04:00
