fix(quest): stabilize desktop and Steam layer presentation
Keep Quest SDR scenes and the black backdrop off the Android Vulkan swapchain regardless of session order or HDR preferences. Only report the first frame after client content is submitted.
Add backdrop lifecycle and first-frame regression coverage. Record the user's successful Quest 3 Test 2 result.

DroidDeck-Proton is now built and released on Droid-Deck/DroidDeck-Proton
(11-9.1 is Latest there), so the Components page, the update check and the
guest installer read releases from the org repo instead of The412Banner's.
* fix: Steam can restart more than twice in a session
Every exit 42 counted toward the cap that stops an update which will
not install, and the count was never cleared, so the third restart of
a session ended it however far apart they were. A client that ran for
a minute before asking is not that loop: the count starts again.
* fix: measure the client's run time as it exits
The time spent collecting logs and checking FEX after the client exits
counted toward its run, so a slow cleanup could make a quick exit 42
look like a long one and clear the count.

feat: droiddeckctl pacing reports the frames that reached the screen
Reads SurfaceFlinger's timestats for the game's layer (or the session's
SurfaceView) over a capture: frames on screen, fps on screen, the
present-to-present histogram and how many intervals were off the usual
cadence. Records split by a refresh-rate change are summed. A game's own fps
counter counts frames handed over, so it can't show dropped or doubled frames.

fix: droiddeckctl reaches builds shipped under a variant package
The provider authority and the start Activity's component were fixed to
com.droiddeck.launcher, so droiddeckctl could not talk to the antutu,
ludashi or pubg builds from tools/release/variants.txt. DROIDDECK_PACKAGE
now picks the package; the Activity's class name stays the same in every
variant.

fix: build and test on Windows
- .gitattributes keeps the session's scripts LF under core.autocrlf=true;
CRLF scripts made every session exit with status 2.
- runtime_inputs.py and the scrub record / log zip use '/' in relative
paths, which Windows reported with '\' (runtime inputs never matched).
- The read-only-folder scrub test is skipped on Windows, which still
creates files in a read-only directory.

* fix: redist markers a replaced registry lost are seeded again
droiddeck-seed-redists recorded what it seeded in .droiddeck-redists and
trusted that record from then on. A Proton update replaces its
default_pfx system.reg but leaves our record beside it, and every new
prefix copies both, so new games got a record of markers their registry
never had: Steam then ran their install scripts for real. Batman: Arkham
City's AMD Dual-Core Optimizer installer hangs there, leaving the game
on "Running install script" on every launch.
Each recorded marker is now looked up in the registry, in both views
where both were written, and seeded again when it is gone; a record of
markers nobody wants any more is rewritten without them.
* Check every VC runtime architecture before keeping the vcrt marker
vcrt writes Installed for x86, x64 and arm64 in both registry views, but
present() only looked at x86. If only an x64 or arm64 value was gone the
runtime would not be seeded again. Require all six values and test the
loss of the arm64 Wow6432Node one.
Arkham City (BatmanAC.exe) stopped with Unreal's "Fatal error!" about
1.5 s after start: an access violation in BatmanAC.exe right after
steam.dll loads. The game leans on x87 and needs full precision under
FEX (FEX wiki), while the default FEX preset sets
FEX_X87REDUCEDPRECISION=1. Engine fixes sit above the shared preset and
below the player's own game profile, so a fix keyed on BatmanAC.exe
beside the started exe (BatmanAC.exe or BmLauncher.exe) restores
x87 precision for this game only. Arkham Asylum, which shares
BmLauncher.exe but not BatmanAC.exe, keeps the preset.
install() replaces an existing cache entry by calling detach(old), which
destroys the listing when no reader holds it, and then reads old->wd to
decide whether to release the watch. When the old listing has no readers,
that read happens after the free.
Two threads that enumerate the same uncached directory at the same time
reach this path: both build a listing, the first installs an entry with
no readers, and the second replaces it.
Save the watch descriptor before detaching, as drop() already does.

Both store modules are rewritten from a protocol-level spec: new Rust engines behind a small JNI surface (nativeCall/nativeInstall) and thin Kotlin facades, with the launcher's own user agent.
Epic: sign-in carries over, library, manifest download with byte-exact verification, assembly, uninstall, launch arguments, achievements.
Amazon: sign-in carries over, library, manifest download with per-file hash checks, path checks, executable detection from fuel.json, uninstall.
On-disk install layout is unchanged, so existing installs keep working.
Store game pages now take controller focus on their lead hero action (Install, Uninstall, Pause, Resume, Get, Buy), fall back to Back, and keep D-pad focus inside the page while it covers the library.
Space checks before Epic, GOG and Amazon installs (measured zero vs unknown), clear failure reasons with retry/clear, resume-aware checks, and safe per-file replacement so a failed or cancelled update never breaks an installed game.
Epic installs stream chunks straight into staged files in parallel (most bytes written once, a small budgeted cache for shared chunks, about 1x game size instead of 2x), pace updates by free space, and keep the lookahead, batch and bounded Java writers as hidden alternatives.

* fix: desktop session: Shift no longer stays held after typing capitals on a physical keyboard
Android repeats a held key as more key presses. Those were forwarded to the
session as more wl_keyboard presses, and KWin's xkb counts every press of a
modifier, so Shift held for a few capitals took several presses and one
release and stayed held: digits typed !@#, letters stayed capital. The same
applied to Ctrl and Alt.
- the compositor no longer sends a press for a key that is already down;
releases always go through (clients repeat keys themselves from the
repeat_info it already sends)
- the app stops forwarding Android's repeat events for keyboard keys
Reported by whatsupbros with a Keychron Q7 over USB - thank you.
* Remove stale comments from statx patch

droiddeck-msi-install: a DuplicateFile entry onto the file itself (dotnet.exe in the .NET host MSI) is skipped like Windows Installer does, instead of stopping the whole install with SameFileError. Fixes .NET Desktop 3/6/7/8, .NET Core 3 and .NET 5. Thanks to whatsupbros for finding and tracing it.
* Add opt-in zRAM compression for the Steam client while a game runs
A "zRAM compression" toggle under Steam > Settings > Session, below
"Keep downloads running". Off by default, kept once set, and disabled
on devices without swap or with a kernel older than 5.4.
When on, the session watches for Steam's reaper. 20 s into a game the
client and its web helpers page their private anonymous memory out to
the device's zram with MADV_PAGEOUT from inside their own process
(libblsession zram.c, SIGURG), again every 5 minutes, and read every
swapped page back once the game exits. No root is needed: only a
process itself may do this without CAP_SYS_NICE. With the toggle off
nothing is installed or started.
RedMagic NP06J, Palworld: Steam's resident memory fell from ~1.7 GB to
~1.1 GB with ~560 MB in zram, available memory during play rose by
~0.5-0.8 GB, and ~2 MB was left in zram after the read-back.
* Turn zRAM compression on by default below 12 GB of RAM
Until the toggle is changed, it follows the device: on when the kernel
supports it and the device has less than 12 GB of RAM, read from the
advertised memory size on Android 14+ and from total memory before that.
Turning it off is kept.
