README: status, new Steam Frame facts (Steam's generated app manifest,
OpenVR library, display and font metrics) and open points. PROGRESS:
partial results of T1, T2 and T4, and what is open next.

On the Steam Frame, the fixed 1200x800 layout lost about its bottom
quarter. Measured with --snapshot: fonts and DPI are as intended, but
the controls ran in the Material style. The qt6 branch changed
mainwidget.qml's "import QtQuick.Controls" into
"import QtQuick.Controls.Material", which fixes Material for all
controls and even overrides QT_QUICK_CONTROLS_STYLE. Material's insets
and padding make the navigation buttons 65 px tall instead of 45 px
(Fusion) or 49 px (Basic, Qt 5's default style renamed); nothing in the
file uses Material.
mainwidget.qml imports QtQuick.Controls again, and main.cpp sets Fusion
explicitly, so the sizes are the same on every platform instead of
depending on Qt 6's per-platform default. With Basic the last navigation
button is still cut off on the Frame; with Fusion everything fits.

On the Steam Frame, the fixed 1200x800 QML layout overflows: about the
bottom quarter is cut off and the navigation icons overlap their text.
Forcing 96 DPI and switching the Quick Controls style didn't help, so the
cause has to be measured rather than guessed.
- SetWidget() logs the application font (family, pt, px), what 20 pt
(MyText) is in px, the screen's DPI and the device pixel ratio.
- --snapshot <file> writes the rendered overlay (RenderBackend::readback)
as PNG at most once per second while it is visible. A time interval,
because OVRAS only renders when the scene changes. Written to a
temporary file and renamed, so readers never see a partial file.
- run.sh passes arguments after the graphics API to the program.

On master, easylogging's Debug level was disabled unless OVRAS was built
with debugSymbolsAndLogs (ENABLE_DEBUG_LOGGING). The qt6 branch switched
to qDebug() and lost that: debugLoggingEnabled was left unused, and all
debug output reached the log. On the Steam Frame it filled with
"updateAllPulseData done." about every 11 ms, as the audio tab reads the
microphone's mute state on every tick.
setUpLogging() now disables debug output through a logging filter rule.
QT_LOGGING_RULES="*.debug=true" takes precedence and turns it on again
for troubleshooting without a rebuild.

Steam writes every VR app the user owns into its generated
steamapps.vrmanifest, installed or not. Whoever owns OVRAS on Steam
therefore always has steam.overlay.1009850 registered, as a steam:// URL
without a working directory, and --force-install-manifest failed with
"Could not find working directory of already installed application:
VRApplicationError_PropertyNotSet" (found on the Steam Frame).
Such an entry has no manifest file to remove, so OVRAS now leaves it
alone and adds its own manifest. Whether SteamVR accepts a second
manifest for the key, and which entry it then uses, is not documented:
logApplicationEntry() logs what SteamVR reports for the key after
installing, so a test on the Frame shows it.

On the Steam Frame, VR_Init failed with "Installation path could not be
located": the SDK's lib/linuxarm64/libopenvr_api.so (2.15.6) reads the VR
path registry from the fixed path /data/work/openvrpaths.vrpath instead
of ~/.config/openvr. The SDK's bin/linuxarm64 library of the same version
uses ~/.config/openvr; the vrdashboard template ships it and was verified
on the Frame. It is added as a new file (third-party/openvr had no
bin/linuxarm64, and "bin" is gitignored, hence force-added), and aarch64
builds link against and ship it. x86_64 and Windows are unchanged.

The first deploy to the Steam Frame aborted in install.sh: OVRAS creates
its QApplication before it handles --force-install-manifest, and Qt's
default platform plugin (xcb) aborts when there is no display, as over
SSH. Registering and unregistering draw nothing, so the generated
install.sh and uninstall.sh now run them with QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen.
The normal start keeps DISPLAY=:0, as rendering needs a real context.

The CMake build had the version hard-coded as 5.7.4, while the qmake build
read it from compile_version_string.txt (5.8.17-release). The stale number
also made the version check report an update. As in the qmake build, the
full string becomes APPLICATION_VERSION and its numeric part the project
version.

- build_scripts/steamframe/: Debian trixie (Qt 6.8) containers for the
aarch64 cross build, native build and tests; toolchain; scripts to build,
test (Vulkan validation layers), package (system Qt, ~3 MB) and deploy over
SSH. Adapted from the vrdashboard template.
- test/render/: render test for the OpenGL and Vulkan backends, driven like
OverlayController (option OVRAS_BUILD_TESTS).
- RPATH only $ORIGIN, without the build machine's link directories.
- Ignore dist/.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- manifest.vrmanifest: binary_path_linux and binary_path_linux_arm. The
Steam Frame's SteamVR reads only binary_path_linux_arm.
- handleManifests(): connect as Utility app first (works without a running
SteamVR, e.g. from the Windows installer); if SteamVR refuses Utility apps,
as on the Steam Frame, connect as Background app. Fail right away on other
errors instead of going through initializeOpenVR()'s retry loop.
- main(): check --graphics-api before connecting to OpenVR, so a wrong value
fails right away.

Replace the QRhi rendering in OverlayController (private Qt API) with the
render backends of the vrdashboard template (src/render/), which use public
Qt API only (QQuickRenderTarget::fromOpenGLTexture / fromVulkanImage). The
binary then runs on another Qt 6 patch release, e.g. the Steam Frame's system
Qt.
The Vulkan backend also does what SteamVR requires and the QRhi path lacked:
the required instance/device extensions and the HMD's GPU (via
openvr_init::renderInterop()), VK_FORMAT_R8G8B8A8_UNORM, and the transition to
TRANSFER_SRC_OPTIMAL after each frame.
- New option --graphics-api opengl|vulkan (default opengl, no fallback).
- Shutdown() calls VR_Shutdown before the render target and Qt's device go
(crash on the Steam Frame with Vulkan otherwise); it runs only once.
- Mouse y is flipped on every platform: SteamVR reports it in GL convention.
- Render delay 5 -> 16 ms (about 60 fps).
- GuiPrivate is no longer needed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- CMake option OVRAS_STEAM_FRAME. It is evaluated only in
src/utils/platform_capabilities.h, which turns it into named capability
constants and platform defaults.
- Where the chaperone can't be committed (Steam Frame: it shifts the play
area), MoveCenterTabController no longer commits the working copy at start-up
or when applying reset data, and doesn't create the init autosave profile.
Skips are logged once.
- In "vsync disabled" mode the pump timer now runs directly at the custom tick
rate instead of firing every 1 ms and counting. The Frame defaults to this
mode at 11 ms (~90 Hz).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Remove Core5Compat (unused, not part of the Steam Frame's system Qt).
- Request GuiPrivate explicitly (required since Qt 6.10 for QRhi); temporary
until rendering moves to public API.
- Compile QML to bytecode only: C++ generated from QML uses private Qt API
that only matches the exact Qt version it was built with.
- Pick the OpenVR library per architecture (linux64, linuxarm64, win64) for
linking and for the copy next to the binary; RPATH $ORIGIN.
- Link libXtst, needed by input_sender_X11.cpp.
- Include d3d11.h and handle QRhi::D3D11 only on Windows.
- Replace leftover easylogging LOG(INFO) calls with qInfo().

Internal fork based on upstream's qt6 branch (2d4db7e). Goal: OVRAS runs
natively on the Steam Frame (SteamOS, aarch64) with a minimal change set
against qt6 and only public Qt API.

you sit down. Standing back up to the configured height will make them
pop back in immediately.

* Revert "Add dedicated image for CircleCI builds"
This reverts commit 44a5d3eed0.
With how little we use the Docker hub features it does not make sense to
have external dependencies on it.
* Add `qt512websockets` to CI build
This is necessary for Ykeara's feature branch.
This change includes a fix for changes in naming for an option called "Disable Automatic Crash Recovery of Chaperone Config" that was changed in the application to "Enable..." likely due to OVRAS updates.
Missing options were added with a TBA placeholder for the details. I do not know the technical details of these options, and therefore advise to replace the TBA with something before merging to main.
