- **Sessions (#412):** `end_reason` and `time_claimed`, with migration
`0026_session_end_reason` (two nullable columns, readable by the release
it replaces). `POST /session/:id/state` takes an optional `endReason`,
and a run stopped before it went live can now go from `starting` to
`ended`.
- **Installer (#411):**
- `bash <(curl -fsSL https://api.nestri.io/install.sh) -u` updates a
host; `-h` prints help; a plain token installs.
- When the script is not root, it asks sudo itself.
- The installed host agent version is unchanged (0.2.18).
**Ships before host agent 0.2.19**, which sends `endReason` and the new
transition.
Cut from prod with dev's files, so squash histories cannot conflict; the
tree is identical to dev.
- **Guest image (#405):** carries `libvpx`, `speex`, `libtheora`,
`libvdpau` and `jsoncpp`, which Proton's GStreamer plugins link. Without
them, `libgstlibav` and `libgstspeex` failed to load in every box on
every Proton shipped so far. Verified: every library both published
Protons need is now provided.
- **Billing (#406):** every Polar webhook logs its type, the team it
resolved to, the plan and status, whether it changed anything, and the
subscription and customer ids. Logging only.
Cut from prod rather than opened from dev: after squash merges the two
histories conflict, though the files differ only in these four. This
branch's tree is identical to dev's.
After merge, the guest image is published from this prod commit. Host
agent 0.2.18 then makes hosts pull it.
New installs get host agent 0.2.17. It is published at
/install/host/0.2.17/; the binary is checksum-verified and reports
`neslet 0.2.17`. 0.2.17 raises LAYOUT to 6, so hosts rebuild their guest
from the current image (OpenGL frontends, nescope answering every
frame).
Guest image fixes from #401, plus the dev changes that had not reached
prod yet.
- **OpenGL games render** (Dome Keeper, confirmed on an AMD host). The
guest's Mesa gains its EGL/GLX frontends, and `vm.overcommit_memory=1`
stops a large reservation being refused before it is used.
- **Chromium / NW.js games get past their first frame** (Sheepy).
nescope answers every commit, and paces Xwayland windows too.
- **Proton patch step.** `build/patches/proton/` and the `-nN` tag.
Nothing uses it until hosts are pointed at the new tag.
- Also included: the pixelforge update already on dev. It is in the
image tested today.
**Versions kept, not downgraded.** Dev still had host agent 0.2.13 and
desktop 0.1.0. The last commit restores prod's 0.2.16 and 0.1.2, so this
merge changes no install versions.
**After merge.** `make push` from this prod commit publishes the guest
image. The host agent release that raises LAYOUT to 6 makes hosts pull
it.

The real change. #399 merged by mistake without it: a rewritten copy of
the #398 merge commit, same tree, so nothing in prod changed. New hosts
install 0.2.16 of the host agent: onboarding retries a failed phase, and
finds steamclient.dll where Valve's client package now keeps it.
A customer the payment provider already knew under the same email kept
their old customer record, without our team id, so their paid
subscription was acknowledged and applied to no team. Checkout now
carries the team in its metadata and the webhook falls back to it; a
paid delivery that matches no team is logged.
The provider reuses a customer it already has under the same email and
leaves our team id off it, so the subscription arrived with no team,
was acknowledged, and changed nothing: a paid plan never applied. The
checkout now carries the team in its metadata, which the subscription
keeps, and the webhook reads it there when the customer has none. A
paid delivery that still matches no team is logged instead of dropped
in silence.
(cherry picked from commit 1301ff0806)
New hosts install host agent 0.2.15. It refuses NVIDIA's proprietary
kernel module at onboarding, since GPU forwarding needs the open kernel
modules (Turing or newer).
- A Steam sign-in on a person's own host now links the Steam account, as
it already did on ours. Before this, their first launch asked them to
link Steam with nothing in the app to do it from.
- Downloads hand out desktop app 0.1.1: a launch on a person's own host
makes its box instead of stopping at "You do not have a box yet".
- New hosts install host agent 0.2.14, which checks for mkfs.erofs
before it starts setting up.
A sign-in on a person's own host recorded the enrolment but never
linked the Steam account, so their first launch asked them to link it
again with nothing in the app to do it from. The QR sign-in is the same
proof on their host as on ours.

`/download/windows` and `/download/linux` redirect to a one-minute
signed URL for the current desktop app (`desktop/<version>/` in the
releases bucket). `/desktop.sh` installs it on Linux for the calling
user, without sudo. The version handed out is a constant bumped by a
commit after each release. Tests: 180 pass.
/download/windows and /download/linux redirect to a one-minute signed URL
for the current desktop app, from the same private bucket as the host
agent, so a download page can link to them once and every download still
passes through the API. Which version they hand out is a constant bumped
by a commit after a release is published, as the host installer's is.
/desktop.sh installs it on Linux for the calling user: one binary in
~/.local/bin and a launcher entry, no root.
Two changes from dev:
- **Runs wait in line for a free slot on their host.** A host says on
its heartbeat how many runs it holds and is handed only that many; the
rest wait, paid before free-weekend, then first come first served.
Reading a waiting run returns its place in line. A waiting run nobody
has asked after for a minute leaves the line. A host that does not
report slots is handed every run, as before, so this is safe to deploy
ahead of the host agent.
- **Free days are Saturday, Sunday and Monday.**
Adds migration `0025_run_queue` (two nullable columns). API tests: 177
pass.
A host holds only so many runs at once, and until now every waiting run
was handed to it regardless; the ones it could not hold failed there.
The host now says on its heartbeat how many runs it holds, and is handed
only as many waiting runs as it has free. The rest wait in line: paid
runs before free-weekend runs, then first come first served. Reading a
waiting run returns its place in line, and says when a paid run that
asked later has gone ahead, so a free player is never reordered quietly.
A waiting run nobody has asked after for a minute was abandoned, and
leaves the line rather than holding up everyone behind it. A host that
does not report its slots is handed every run, as before.
Cherry-pick of aa824a1 from dev, alone.
`GET /box` gains `host` (the machine's DNS label) and `fleet` on listed
boxes. The desktop app uses them to open the fleet machine's Steam
sign-in during onboarding. Additive; nothing existing changes shape.
Tests: 172/172 against Postgres.
The desktop app gives a new cloud user a fleet box and then opens that
machine's Steam sign-in on its hostname; GET /box now says which hostname,
and which box is the fleet one.
Pins the installer to host agent 0.2.12. In this release:
- a run boots at the size it asked for;
- each run narrates its install progress through the edge;
- hosts re-pull the guest image and the jail, which drops virglrenderer
0001 and brings neshub's codec fix.
A client could connect and state its codecs before the game's encoder
was listening; the command was dropped, the encoder started on AV1, and
a client without AV1 got sound and no picture. Commands now wait for the
encoder's socket, and a frame in a codec no client decodes sends the
agreed set again.
The codec the clients agree on goes to the encoder over a socket that does
not exist until the game draws, and a client can connect first. The command
was dropped, the encoder started on AV1, and a client without AV1 sat on a
splash with sound and no picture. Commands now wait for the socket, and a
frame in a codec no client decodes sends the agreed set again, which also
covers a launcher handing over to a game with an encoder of its own.
xs is a box with no stream, sm 720p, md 1080p, lg 1440p, xl 4K. Each
resolution keeps its price, so md is now 1x. New boxes default to md;
existing boxes move up one size.
xs is a box with no stream, sm 720p, md 1080p, lg 1440p and xl 4K. Each
resolution keeps its price, so md is now 1x. New boxes default to md, and
existing boxes move up one size so none of them drops a resolution.
The size column's migration was listed in the journal but never
committed, so migrating a fresh database failed and the last prod
release stopped before deploying.

POST /session takes an optional `tier`; the start job, the allowance
check and the burn rate use it, falling back to the box's tier. Adds a
nullable `session.tier` column.

POST /session takes an optional tier. The host starts the run at that
size, the allowance is checked against it, and the run is billed at it.
A run asked for without one runs at its box's size, as before.
The size belongs to the run rather than the box: a box is a game's
install on a machine, and the size is chosen each time it is played, so
playing bigger never means a second box and a second install.
GET /session returns the caller's runs that have not stopped, so a
client refused with a busy box can rejoin the same game or offer to stop
the other one.
🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
Asking for a run on a busy box is refused, but the refusal does not say
what holds the box. A client that just lost its connection needs to know
whether the run in the way is the game it asked for, which it can rejoin,
or another one it should offer to stop. GET /session answers that.
GET /library picked each game's most recent download row from any host,
so one person's library could show another person's machine id and
progress. It now reads only hosts the caller's boxes are on.
Boxes and library downloads gain `gpu`, the host's first reported card
model, so clients name a place by hardware rather than a machine id.
Null until a host reports one.
Tests: core 240 pass (3 new), api 171 pass. The leak test was checked to
fail with the host filter removed.
GET /library picked each game's most recent download row from any host,
so one person's library could show another person's machine id and
progress. It now reads only hosts the caller's boxes are on.
Boxes and library downloads gain `gpu`, the host's first reported card
model, so a client names a place by hardware a person recognises rather
than by a machine id. Null until a host reports one.
- `POST /session/:id/stop`: the owner ends a run. Adds
`session.time_stop_requested` (migration 0022) and a `user` reason on
`session.stop` jobs.
- The box reports how many clients are watching (`viewers` lifecycle
message), so a host can end a run nobody uses.
- `GET /machine/:id/downloads`: the owner reads what their machine is
downloading and has ready.
GET /machine/:id/downloads lists every game the machine is downloading,
has ready or failed to download, with progress and each game's name.
The library already carries a download per game, but it is the most
recent one across every host, which is not what a person watching their
own machine set up wants to see.
Owner-scoped in the query: a machine that is not yours answers 404, the
same as one that does not exist.
A host cannot tell a run somebody is playing from one nobody has looked
at in an hour, so it cannot end the second without guessing.
The hub now answers the address socket with a second line,
`viewers <n>`, counting clients that are streaming. Init reads it
alongside the address and sends a new `viewers` message to the host
when the count changes. A reader that takes only the first line gets
the address exactly as before, a server that never writes the second
line is still read, and a host that does not know the message skips it,
so either end can ship first.
POST /session/:id/stop. A run no host has claimed ends at once; one that
is starting or live is marked with time_stop_requested and its host is
handed a session.stop with reason `user` on every poll until it reports
the run ended. The host already ends a run the same way whatever the
reason, so no host change is needed.
Asking twice keeps the first time asked, and asking of a finished run
changes nothing. Somebody else's run answers 404, and a host cannot
stop a run as its owner.
