Keep temporary keyboard profiles separate from saved bindings. Add optional persistent mouse capture with ordered release/focus/reset handling, and let offline sources represent an unplugged port without falling back to physical input. Existing capture and source defaults remain intact. Beads: beads-9wg8 and beads-eio.19.18.
P1: quality_launcher_apply is now a pure preset -> rows mapping
(psxq::rows_from_runtime plus startup constants); it never writes the live
globals. The in-game menu publishes only thread-safe callbacks: that
mapper, and a re-detect that returns this session's detection (a fresh
probe needs the GL context and mutates the run's state, so it stays in the
pre-game launcher). Summary/reason strings and the detection are fixed on
the main thread at menu setup; settings_get reads only the main-thread
snapshot.
P2: psxq::MenuSelection keeps what the player selected versus what is live.
A pick's next-launch rows and netplay-deferred rows stay selected for the
next seed until the live value matches; other rows follow live. The host
classification moves to psxq::classify_launcher/row_differs (same rules).
Tests: quality_presets_test test_ingame_menu_host_path runs the review's
fixture through the host get/pick/apply/save path (Ultra -> High, then
Antialiasing = NONE; a governed edit is still Custom from High; a netplay-
deferred row stays selected). menu_quality_callbacks_test guards the
draw-thread callbacks against runtime writes and stateful calls.

mh_launcher_game_info publishes the presets (quality_fill_game_info),
mh_launcher_settings_get seeds the preset and the governed rows as in
force, and an applied menu change goes through quality_take_launcher, so
a pick or a governed edit is settled by the same save transaction
(settle_save) as the launchers. Shown rows apply live; preset-only keys
at the next launch.

- [quality.*] accepts only the supported keys (quality_key_supported):
twelve player-editable ones (masked, copied, classified, applied) and
nine preset-only ones (no settings.toml form; applied on select). Any
other key, e.g. vsync or renderer, is a load error.
- Picking a preset now also applies bloom, texture LOD, anisotropy, FMV
chroma smoothing and dithering (quality_apply_video_globals).
- The frontends flag Custom on any tracked row; the host counts only rows
of keys the title governs (psxq::launcher_custom_edit), so Antialiasing
no longer turns Ultra into Custom when no preset sets it.
Tests cover the rejection, every player key's masking/copy, and the
classification cases.

Hands the launcher game info (pre-game launcher, soft return, and the
in-game menu's launcher_game_info) the [video] texture_filtering
vocabulary {Nearest, Bilinear, xBR} = PSX_TEXTURE_FILTER_{0,1,3}, so
frontends keep xBR across startup and soft return instead of collapsing
it to Bilinear. Needs a recomp_launcher.h with
RECOMP_LAUNCHER_HAS_TEXTURE_FILTER_CATALOG (recomp-ui); without it this
is a no-op.

The boot launcher, soft-return launcher and the in-game menu's live
settings now save settings.toml through psxq::settle_save:
- a one-run PSX_QUALITY override never persists: governed keys and the
quality_* keys come from disk, so the previous preset or Custom values
survive even when the boot seed was built empty;
- a governed live edit (psxq::live_edit) or launcher Custom becomes
Custom from the current base, with the edited values, and survives
restart instead of being masked away;
- a launcher pick records the preset; unrelated edits keep it.
Tests reproduce both review cases through a settings.toml round trip.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Restart bits: a group waits only when the edit touches it (next differs
from the live value) and the result differs from boot. Dynamic
resolution moves the live internal resolution off boot, so an in-game
texture filter change relaunched the game. test_menu_video_snapshot
covers both cases.
- Return to the frontend from a local game opens the launcher as at
boot; only a lobby match start (the runtime's pending-launch exit, or
the provider's lobby view asking once its match started) keeps the
launch and resumes the room.
- Default provider: with no title choice, the UI library's provider is
used when it ships one (recomp_ui_psx_menu.h), so recomp-ui stays the
default; PsxMenuHost.default_selection tells it to keep the title's
default presentation.
- Debug: menu_host reports provider, open, pause, capture and snapshot.

Review follow-up on #661 (#636):
- test_depth24_present_hold_vblank.py reads sources as UTF-8 (cp1252 on
native Windows Python raised UnicodeDecodeError).
- The present skip is now guest state: set at guest VBlank, read (not
consumed) by the present and packed into the GPU snap's hold word (bit 8;
older snaps derive it from the count). The executable test showed the
host-side latch made the present of a restored tick differ from live on
the last held VBlank (hold 0, skip 1), exposing stale trailing FMV
columns after a rollback load.
- Depth24 scanout staging and trailing-column blanking move from main.cpp
into gpu_depth24_stage_scanout (gpu.c), so the test renders through the
same code every CPU depth24 present runs.
- New depth24_present_hold_exec_test: drives real gpu.c through a 15-bit to
24-bit FMV, GP1(07h) retargets and mode transitions; compares hold, skip,
upload span and snapshot bytes across windowed/headless/deferred presents,
rollback replay from every tick and disk loads, and checks staged frames
never show stale movie pixels while the new movie stays visible.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
GP1(07h) arms s_d24_present_hold to skip a few Swaps after a depth24
display-band retarget. The hold is in the GPU snap, but it counted down
only at host present: a headless run (and any path that skips the present)
left it stuck, and a rollback snap load zeroed it. In R4's 4-seat rollback
self-test the replayed saves then differed from the live saves of the same
ticks in the GPU section (hold 3 live, 0 replay; #636).
The count now moves at guest VBlank (gpu_vblank_tick), which also latches
whether the following present skips its Swap; the present only consumes
that latch. A rollback snap load keeps the restored count. A disk
savestate load still clears it so the restored VRAM shows at once.

psxrecomp owns the contract between the runtime and any in-game menu
frontend. A provider (PsxMenuProvider: attach, event, is_open, set_open,
draw, detach) is registered by the title with psx_menu_set_provider();
none is registered by default, so a title's UI and pin are unchanged.
The runtime offers every provider the same host (PsxMenuHost): pause
(P1, refused in netplay), video get/apply on PsxHostVideoSettings (P4),
mod switch/option set (P5, via the new psx_mod_feature_enable /
psx_mod_feature_set_option shared with the launcher ABI provider),
reload bindings, exit (quit, back to the frontend loop in-process, or a
quick relaunch with the original arguments), disc/tray slots filled by
the tray policy (psx_menu_set_disc_ops), and optional helpers on the
shared launcher ABI both frontends already speak (game info with the
mod catalogue and lobby, settings get/apply with the handoff's filter
translations).
Policies live here, the same for every provider: the lobby is pumped
during play and a started match ends the local session and starts in
the frontend loop (pending launch, seats and signals kept, pumping
stopped so the match port stays free), the menu is closed and its pause
dropped first; the provider detaches before its GL context goes away at
session teardown and attaches to the next one. --launcher sets
RECOMP_LAUNCHER_PREGAME for frontends that boot into the game;
PSX_HIDDEN_WINDOW is a hidden-window test hook that keeps the frontend.
Nothing here includes or names a frontend's own headers or types.
Tests: psx_menu_host_test, host_overlay_test (relaunch quoting).

Review (#601/#603): the live path and the launcher handoff both collapsed
the texture filter to a boolean (value ? 1 : 0), so neither could carry xBR
(#586) and they could drift from settings.toml. PSX_TEXTURE_FILTER_* is now
the one enum (equal to [video] texture_filtering / gr_set_texture_filter),
and psx_texture_filter_from_ui is the one translation used by the launcher
handoff (seed, UserSettings, live globals) and the in-game apply. Unit-
tested in host_overlay_test.

Review (#601):
- psx_video_apply_live had no netplay guard. In a match only presentation
(fullscreen, scanlines, linear present) applies live; dynamic resolution,
frame generation and the filters are saved and reported with the new
PSX_VIDEO_RESTART_NETPLAY bit (next session).
- internal_resolution and present_thread are written to UserSettings like
the other restart-only fields, so the choice survives a restart.
- The live-apply code sat inside #ifndef PSX_NO_DEBUG_TOOLS but is used by
the launcher path, so Release + launcher did not compile. It now lives
outside the debug-tools block.

psx_video_apply_live applies the [video] keys a running game can change
(fullscreen, texture and FMV filter, scanlines, linear present, dynamic
resolution, frame generation) through the existing live setters, saves
them to settings.toml, and reports renderer / internal resolution /
thread changes as restart-only. Nothing calls it without a provider.

The admit barrier polls SDL every frame of a netplay match and treated
Esc as "leave the match" before the in-game overlay saw it, so opening
the menu online could end the session (netplay_barrier_escape).

Review (#600): with low_latency_input on, the re-drain after the pacer
wait sampled the pad without host_pause_service, so ui_capture was a frame
stale and the overlay's opening chord (Start+Select) could reach the guest
for one frame. The re-drain now services the overlay before the sample.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
psx_host_set_input_sink: an overlay provider sees host SDL events first,
in the event drain and the host pause loop, and may consume them.
psx_host_set_ui_capture: while on, local game input reads released and
centred (netplay included, so peers receive "nothing pressed") and the
external-input gate stays closed. Debug builds gain host_key, which pushes
a real SDL key event for scripted runs. Inert without a provider.

Review (#598): resuming left the frame pacer's deadline in the past, so it
paid a pause back as up to ~12 unpaced frames. Resume now runs
present_session_reset, an audio cycle resync and a dynamic-resolution hold,
as a savestate load does. host_pause on=1 headless was a no-op that answered
ok; the headless frame path now enters host_pause_loop too.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
psx_host_pause_push/pop: a nesting, host-owned pause. While it is held the
runtime freezes the guest at the vblank present (as the save-state menu
does), keeps presenting the last frame and pauses audio. Push refuses
during netplay. Nothing pushes unless an overlay provider (or the debug
server's new host_pause command) asks, so behaviour is unchanged.

With [timing] guest_cycle_scale active, every one-cycle psx_cyc_charge went
straight to psx_cpu_charge and psx_advance_cycles, bypassing the batch the
scale-1 path uses. [timing] guest_cycle_scale_batch (PSX_GCS_BATCH=0/1)
scales the charge in place, with the same fractional carry and order as
psx_cpu_charge, then batches it like the scale-1 path. It flushes at the same
observation points. Default off.
R4 exactness, frame_fingerprint off vs on, 9000 frames each: headless boot

cyc, mmio, mc and qc are identical on every frame. sp, wr, pc and ws are
identical at the end. The only differences are single-frame VBlank straddles
of wc/sc (never two frames in a row). 0 dispatch misses.
Speed, release builds, races at 60 Hz:
- M4 (macOS sample): psx_cpu_charge 4.3 % -> 0 % of emulation-thread samples;

1. Detection never runs under --headless / --hidden-window (CI, scripted
runs): a saved preset applies, else the title's [video]; nothing is
written. A detection is saved only when the GL probe succeeded; a result
from the OS name alone is used for that run and the next launch probes
again (a failed probe could otherwise pin "unknown GPU" -> Ultra).
2. Linux without a GL probe: the classifier now reads the sysfs PCI id
(Steam Deck parts, Intel integrated vs Arc, NVIDIA).
3. AMD/Intel rules rewritten against real renderer strings: "Radeon RX
Vega 11 Graphics" and other Vega/"Radeon Graphics"/R5-R7/680M-890M APUs
are integrated (Low); RX/Pro/W cards and Strix Halo are Ultra; the Intel
Arc iGPU is Low, Arc A/B cards Ultra. quality_presets_test holds a
44-row table of Windows, Mesa (incl. Steam Deck LCD/OLED, zink) and macOS
GL_RENDERER strings, plus probe-failure and headless cases.
5. generated/OpenBIOS.emitter.sha re-stamped.

A title may declare [quality.low|medium|high|ultra] tables of [video] keys.
On first launch, and when the hardware fingerprint changes while a preset is
in force, psxrecomp detects the CPU, threads, RAM and GPU (OS facts; a hidden
1x1 GL window reads GL_RENDERER only when a detection is due and the OS did
not name the GPU), picks the matching preset and saves quality_preset,
quality_base, quality_hardware and quality_detected to settings.toml.
- Each preset is the whole game.toml re-parsed with its keys over [video], so
every [video] key works in a preset with its usual validation.
- A preset in force owns its keys: saved settings.toml values for them are
ignored. Custom (the player changed a governed setting in the launcher)
applies the player's values over quality_base and is never overridden;
new hardware under Custom is only reported.
- Launcher: GameInfo.quality_* (offered mask, detected preset, hardware
summary, quality_apply / quality_redetect callbacks) and
Settings.quality_preset/quality_base, behind RECOMP_LAUNCHER_HAS_QUALITY_PRESETS.
- PSX_QUALITY=<preset> for one run, PSX_QUALITY_REDETECT=1.
- Titles without [quality.*] are unchanged.
Rules (quality_tier.c) and the decision are unit-tested in
quality_presets_test; docs/QUALITY_PRESETS.md.

The detector cannot prove a loop has no later counter-dependent exit, so
the extension now skips only at block-edge PCs the title lists after an
audit. Unlisted sites are never skipped; an empty list disables it. Docs
record R4's v_wait audit as the reference; tests cover unlisted sites.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Last-store tracking: memory.c owns the record and writes it only while
the extension is on (g_psx_track_last_store); main.cpp hands it and the
host writer (psx_host_write_word) to psx_cycles.c through
psx_idle_skip_set_store_tracker / _set_host_writer, so psx_cycles.c no
longer references memory.c (fixes the tests that link one without the
other).
- Exact from boot: the device distance is now measured from the current
cycle (devices report it from their last service, up to a few hundred
cycles behind), and several edges per pass are accepted only together
with a counter store. Before this, R4's boot diverged at frame 962 (an
OpenBIOS multi-edge poll and a late VBlank IRQ after a v_wait skip).
- tests/test_idle_skip_store_counter.c: a v_wait trace skips (whole
passes, counter lowered by the host writer, never to the timeout, lands
before the event); an extra store, an MMIO read, a decrement of 2, a
store to MMIO, the option off and no host writer do not.
- generated/OpenBIOS.emitter.sha re-stamped.
R4 frame_fingerprint off vs on, 9000 frames each: boot through intro and

idle_skip only skipped loops with zero stores and a single interrupt-check
edge, so it never fired on PsyQ libetc's v_wait -- the VSync(0)/VSync(n)
spin most PsyQ titles run each frame -- which decrements a stack timeout
word every pass and crosses two block edges.
New opt-in on top of idle_skip, [runtime] idle_skip_store_counters
(PSX_IDLE_SKIP_EXT=0/1 for one run):
- an iteration may span up to 8 block edges; the first edge is the anchor
and the edge count must be stable;
- one word store per iteration to the same RAM/scratchpad address whose
value drops by exactly 1 (a register holding it may drop with it).
Skips lower the counter by k (never to <= 1) and, for multi-edge loops, land
on the anchor strictly before the next device event so an IRQ is taken at
the same edge as without the skip. memory.c records the last word store's
address and value for the detector.
R4 race, 3600 frames from one savestate, held input: cyc, mmio, mc, sp, sc
and qc identical every frame; wc differs only by the elided counter stores.
Release build on an Apple M4: emulation-thread busy 47.5% -> 34.9% at 60 Hz.

Maintainer review of #584: PS1 dithering is hardware behaviour, so it is
now on by default whenever the guest sets GP0(E1h) bit 9 ([video]
dithering = "on"; "scaled" stays opt-in, "off" is the old true-colour
output).
Eligibility is decided per primitive from its command and carried in the
vertex instead of being inferred from the colour:
- Gouraud polygons and shaded lines: geometry vertex a_col.a + 2*131072
(decoded in GEO_VS, v_dith);
- texture-modulated polygons: a_semi + 8 (v_dith in TEX_VS);
- flat polygons/lines, raw-texture polygons and every rectangle: never.
This fixes the two reproduced bugs (Gouraud with 5-bit-exact colours was
skipped; textured rectangles were dithered). Bit changes no longer flush:
eligibility is fixed when the primitive is queued; mode changes still drain.
gl_dithering_test covers each case (Gouraud incl. equal colours, shaded
line, modulated and neutral-modulated textured polys dithered; flat tri,
flat rect, flat line, raw poly, modulated and raw textured rects never;
bit clear and off unchanged), plus scaled 4x == 1x, render thread, PGXP
depth, native-wide and the accurate-blending basis. OpenBIOS stamp
regenerated.

The OpenGL renderer has always drawn shaded and texture-modulated pixels
at 8 bits per channel with no dither pattern (true colour). That stays the
default. 'on' applies the PS1 4x4 offset matrix and 5-bit truncation per
internal-resolution pixel; 'scaled' puts the pattern on the native grid,
so it reads like the console at any scale and the native VRAM is the same
at every internal resolution.
GP0(E1h) bit 9 reaches the backend through a new optional facade hook
(gr_set_dither) recorded for the render thread and Smooth motion redraws.
With the mode off nothing flushes and no uniform changes. Flat, raw and
other 5-bit-exact pixels are never touched.

- config: [video] post_shader is a std::filesystem::path (like memcard_dir);
the frontend turns it into UTF-8 bytes for the GL API. Assigning the path
to a std::string did not compile on MinGW.
- .pfx `generated reuse`: a Smooth motion generated frame keeps that pass's
target from the last real frame. The bloom preset marks its bright and
blur passes so; generated frames run only the masked composite (over their
own picture and mask). bloom debug reports real/generated pass times and
reused passes.
- Mask marking no longer queries GL state per batch: each call site puts
back the blend and mask-bit stencil it set (no driver round trips on the
render thread).

Post effects now run as chains of full-screen fragment passes on one
executor (gl_postfx.inc), as asked in review. A chain is a small .pfx preset
(postfx_chain.c, GL-free): passes with a shader (a file next to the preset or
builtin:<name>), inputs (source, the optional primitive-derived mask,
previous or a named earlier pass), a scale, format, filter and uniforms.
The executor owns target allocation and lifetime, program build/cache,
uniform binding (u_rcp, u_size, u_org) and GL state save/restore.
Stages, in order, each from a fresh copy of the image: the built-in "bloom"
chain ([video] bloom), a user chain ([video] post_shader / PSX_POST_SHADER,
elective, off by default), and the built-in "fxaa"/"fxaa_hq" chain
([video] antialiasing_mode). FXAA folds in as a one-pass chain and its
output is byte-identical to the former fixed pass; it still runs on real
frames only. Generated (Smooth motion) frames run bloom and the user chain.
The "may glow" mask is an optional pipeline input: draws keep stencil bit 1
only while an active chain reads `mask`, and the window-sized mask texture is
built once per present for the chains that use it.
Tests: postfx_chain_test (format, built-ins, errors, file import, no GL);
gl_bloom_test gains an imported two-pass chain (byte-exact invert), the mask
input (HUD unlit, 3D lit), a bad preset, a pass that does not compile, and GL
state restored with bloom + a mask chain + FXAA on, all on the caller thread
and the render thread. docs/POST_EFFECTS.md documents the format.
