D14: libmosquitto from Debian, shipped in the package (Qt MQTT needs the exact Qt version; nothing on the Frame). D15: own device-based discovery layer on Qt's JSON classes. Document the libraries per requirement and what the Frame provides (Qt modules, OpenSSL 3.2.1, glibc 2.39). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Progress
|
||
|
||
Where the project stands, and what happened in each session. Newest first. The process is in
|
||
CLAUDE.md ("Working rules").
|
||
|
||
## Current state
|
||
|
||
- **Iteration 1, phase 2 (planning and design) started.** Phase 1 is approved (D13);
|
||
[REQUIREMENTS.md](REQUIREMENTS.md) is the baseline.
|
||
|
||
## Next steps
|
||
|
||
Phase 2 for the MVP scope (D8: MQTT connection + discovery + availability, the MVP sensors, a
|
||
basic notification). Design topics, proposed order:
|
||
|
||
1. ~~Q4: MQTT client library~~: done, libmosquitto (D14). Remaining for the design: Qt
|
||
event-loop integration, shipping the library in the package (build + `install.sh`).
|
||
2. Component structure: configuration, MQTT/discovery layer, sensor sources, notification
|
||
service; how they fit into `Dashboard` (the app class).
|
||
3. HA entity model: topics, discovery payloads, availability, device grouping (CON-2/3/5,
|
||
SEN-15).
|
||
4. Basic notification (NOT-1): needs an overlay outside the dashboard, i.e. the planned
|
||
`WorldOverlay` (CLAUDE.md, "Planned extension"); MVP placement to be decided.
|
||
5. Test strategy for the MVP and the measurement method for NFR-3.
|
||
|
||
Later, not needed for the MVP: Q1 (several notifications), Q2/Q3 (dashboard); check only
|
||
whether they constrain the MVP architecture.
|
||
|
||
## Log
|
||
|
||
### 2026-10-05: requirements approved
|
||
|
||
- User approved REQUIREMENTS.md including the priorities (D13). Phase 2 started.
|
||
- Q4 decided: libmosquitto, shipped in the package (D14). Qt MQTT ruled out: private Qt API
|
||
requires the exact Qt version. Checked on the Frame: no MQTT library installed; libssl/
|
||
libcrypto 3 and libcjson 1 present.
|
||
- HA discovery: own small layer on QJson, device-based discovery (D15); hacpp and the
|
||
embedded libraries rejected.
|
||
- Checked on the Frame which Qt modules, plugins and audio/network tools exist; library list
|
||
per requirement in REQUIREMENTS.md Appendix C. Notable: Qt WebEngine and Qt WebSockets are
|
||
present (relevant for Q2/Q3).
|
||
- libmosquitto ABI check: Debian's 2.0.21 needs at most `OPENSSL_3.0.0`/`GLIBC_2.34`; the
|
||
Frame has OpenSSL 3.2.1 and glibc 2.39. No libcjson dependency. D14 holds.
|
||
- Stay with the Debian build container: an Arch container wouldn't match SteamOS's own package
|
||
versions (private repos, rolling Arch) and has no arm64 multiarch for cross builds.
|
||
|
||
### 2026-10-04/05: project set-up and requirements
|
||
|
||
- Copied the vrdashboard template. Removed what the app doesn't need:
|
||
- `examples/` (diagnostics app) and the `VRDASH_BUILD_EXAMPLES` option
|
||
- the Frame test package (`scripts/package-frame-test.sh`, `docs/FRAME-TESTING.md`,
|
||
screenshots)
|
||
- the demo UI (`src/qml/DemoPage.qml`)
|
||
|
||
`Main.qml` shows a placeholder card.
|
||
- Named the app **FrameAssistant**, "Steam Frame companion for Home Assistant":
|
||
- CMake project `frameassistant`, executable `frame-assistant`
|
||
- app key `net.matzman.frameassistant`, tab "Frame Assistant", QML module `FrameAssistant`
|
||
|
||
Names rejected:
|
||
- "Steam…" and "…Home Assistant": trademarks
|
||
- "HASS…": the user dislikes it, because "Hass" is German for hate.
|
||
- Agreed working rules (in CLAUDE.md):
|
||
- explicit permission for everything; ask instead of assuming
|
||
- iterative five-phase cycle; an informal "ok" approves a phase
|
||
- document everything in Markdown in `docs/`
|
||
- `git init`. Baseline commit `4a5b090`.
|
||
- Requirements engineering (several question rounds with the user). The results are in
|
||
REQUIREMENTS.md:
|
||
- decisions D1–D12
|
||
- 51 requirements
|
||
- research on OpenVR data sources (Appendix A)
|
||
- Checks: `native-debug` builds, `ctest` passes 6/6 (Vulkan surface test skipped, no Vulkan on
|
||
this host), `--snapshot` renders.
