Claude 66cda2c6ed fix(kyber-linux): correct exe name — kyber_launcher.exe not Kyber.exe
The actual Kyber executable installed by the NSIS installer is
kyber_launcher.exe, not Kyber.exe. Update the find pattern and the
default fallback path accordingly.

Claude a55f8e2d85 fix(kyber-linux): fix prefix path — use numeric appid so Steam finds it
Steam sets STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH to compatdata/<appid> when launching
a non-Steam shortcut. The prefix was named 'kyber' so Steam was launching
into an empty prefix, causing immediate exit. Change KYBER_COMPAT_ID to
match KYBER_APPID (9900000001) and migrate any existing 'kyber' prefix.

Also handle cmd.exe being a symlink: resolve and copy the real file as
cmd-real.exe, then remove the symlink before writing the shim so we only
affect the Kyber prefix and not Proton globally.

Claude da86b9a160 fix(kyber-linux): fix ___chkstk_ms link error in cmd shim
Large stack array WCHAR[4096] triggered a stack probe (__chkstk_ms)
unavailable in -nostdlib builds. Fix: heap-allocate the pass-through
command line buffer, and add -mno-stack-arg-probe as a safety net.

Claude 11d33efd04 fix(kyber-linux): fix cmd shim compile — replace _wcsicmp with CompareStringOrdinal
_wcsicmp is a CRT function unavailable with -nostdlib/-ffreestanding.
Replace with CompareStringOrdinal from kernel32 (always available).
Also fix step numbering (1-2 were still labeled /5 instead of /7),
and remove 2>/dev/null from compile so errors are visible if it fails.

Claude 331f8d1e19 fix(kyber-linux): prevent duplicate shortcuts; fix sudo for mingw-w64
- Python shortcut script now checks for existing 'Kyber Launcher' entry
  and exits early instead of appending a duplicate on each re-run
- Use sudo apt-get directly for mingw-w64 install so the password prompt
  works (previous chained || approach suppressed the interactive prompt)

Claude 38ef272dce feat(kyber-linux): add cmd shim + OAuth watcher for login fix
Wine's cmd.exe crashes (0xC0000005) when Kyber calls cmd /c start with
the EA auth URL, on native Linux Steam just as in Wolf. Fix:

1. Compile a minimal cmd shim with mingw-w64 (auto-installed if missing).
   The shim intercepts cmd /c start <http url>, writes the URL to
   C:\kyber_oauth_url.txt, and exits 0. All other cmd invocations are
   passed through to the backed-up cmd-real.exe.
   Installed into the Kyber prefix's system32 only — does not affect
   other games or Proton globally.

2. Install a watcher script (~/.local/bin/kyber-oauth-watcher.sh) that
   polls for the URL file and calls xdg-open to open it in the system
   browser. Registered as a systemd user service so it starts on login.

Login flow: Kyber → cmd shim → URL file → watcher → xdg-open → browser
→ EA login → redirect to 127.0.0.1:PORT → Kyber loopback catches code.

Claude b147120688 fix(kyber-linux): skip installer if Kyber.exe already present; fix re-run
On re-run the installer was trying to overwrite locked files in an existing
prefix, causing repeated Access Denied dialogs. Now check for Kyber.exe
first and skip the installer entirely if it's found.

Also kill any leftover Wine/Proton processes before a fresh install to
avoid file-lock conflicts, and move Windows path resolution to after the
installer/skip decision so it always runs regardless of path taken.

Default fallback path updated to match Kyber's actual install location:
  C:\Program Files (x86)\KYBER Launcher\

Claude 23c1699b05 fix(kyber-linux): install WebView2 via standalone installer, not bootstrapper
The Evergreen bootstrapper (linkid=2124703) requires a second download from
inside the Wine process, which fails in Proton. Switch to the standalone
offline installer (linkid=2135547, ~150 MB) which installs without any
Wine-internal network calls.

Also prefer winetricks if installed — it uses a local cache, handles the
WINEPREFIX env correctly, and is the most reliable method. Fall back to
the standalone download if winetricks is not available.

Claude 5f61c7bad2 fix(kyber-linux): correct login flow docs — Maxima loopback OAuth, not WebView2
Kyber uses a PKCE loopback OAuth flow (Maxima): it starts a temporary
HTTP server on 127.0.0.1 and calls cmd /c start to open the EA auth URL
in the system browser. On native Linux, Wine's cmd passes http:// URLs
to xdg-open, which works fine inside Steam's single bwrap layer.

Remove the incorrect claim that WebView2 intercepts qrc:// URIs and is
the only path to completing login. Keep the WebView2 runtime install
(harmless, prevents in-app render errors) but clarify it is not the
login mechanism.

Update end-of-script instructions to describe what the user will actually
see: browser opens EA page, redirects to 127.0.0.1:PORT, tab shows OK or
connection-refused (normal), login completes in Kyber. Add troubleshooting
notes for the two real failure modes: xdg-open not reaching the desktop
(headless/no DISPLAY), and login timeout (loopback server expired).

Claude 351bfc47e8 Add fix-wolf-webview2-userns.sh — finish Kyber-in-Wolf
The WolfSteam app container already runs seccomp=unconfined + apparmor=unconfined
+ SYS_ADMIN, so the WebView2 CLONE_NEWUSER failure is gated at the HOST level by
kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=1 (default-on since Ubuntu 23.10),
which overrides the unconfined container. This script relaxes that sysctl (and
the legacy unprivileged_userns_clone) persistently, then probes userns creation
on the host and inside the running container so login can complete without
leaving Wolf.

Claude 30df687540 Add setup-kyber-linux.sh for native Linux Steam
Runs Kyber outside Wolf so its embedded WebView2 can initialize without
nested-bwrap blocking CLONE_NEWUSER. Builds the Wine prefix, ensures the
WebView2 Evergreen runtime is installed (the component that intercepts EA's
qrc:// OAuth redirect), registers Kyber as a non-Steam shortcut forced to
Proton Experimental, and notes the Steam Remote Play path for headless boxes.
No fake cmd.exe / Firefox scaffolding needed here.

WebView2 cannot initialize inside Wolf due to nested bwrap blocking
CLONE_NEWUSER. Script automates all discovered workarounds (fake cmd.exe,
Firefox profile with network.process.enabled: false) and clearly documents
why the real fix is running Kyber outside the Docker container.

Claude 77e40d4955 fix: lock config directory so Steam cannot overwrite launch options
Steam writes localconfig.vdf via atomic rename (write temp + rename over
original). chmod 444 on the file is bypassed by the rename. chmod 555 on
the directory blocks rename-into, preserving the launch option across
Steam restarts.

Also unlocks the directory at the start of step 6 so re-running the
script can update the launch option.

Claude 0c56837505 fix: detect existing EA Desktop install, skip MSI extraction if Link2EA.exe present
On native Linux Steam, EA App self-installs via EAappInstaller.exe on first
SWBF2 launch. Link2EA.exe appears in the Wine prefix without any MSI extraction.
Script now checks for Link2EA.exe first and skips steps 2-3 (MSI locate +
extract) if EA Desktop is already installed, proceeding directly to writing
registry fix files and the launch wrapper.

Claude e33b2f6491 fix: search game files for ea_app.msi, not just drive_c
The MSI is bundled in steamapps/common with the game files. The script
was only checking drive_c (where Steam copies it after a launch), causing
a false "not found" error before the user had launched the game.

Now searches steamapps/common and all of steamapps as fallbacks, reports
which path it found the MSI at. Also remove stale references to the
"Origin is not installed" error which no longer appears.

Long-form document tracing the actual discovery process: the wrong turns,
the aha moments, and the reasoning behind each step. Covers:

- Why EA is involved in a Steam game at all (link2ea:// architecture)
- JunoConfigureRegistry failure and why DISABLEROLLBACK was a dead end
- msiextract bypass as the actual solution
- Why direct system.reg edits don't survive reboots (wineserver ownership)
- The launch wrapper approach for registry persistence
- RPC_S_SERVER_UNAVAILABLE and EALocalHostSvc
- Wolf-specific bwrap capabilities mismatch
- localconfig.vdf atomic rename problem and chmod 555 fix

Written for sharing — no identifying information, explains the "why"
for each fix so readers can adapt if EA changes their MSI structure.

Claude c6d58a7ccd feat: add standalone SWBF2 2017 setup scripts for Wolf and native Linux Steam
Two self-contained scripts for getting SWBF2 (2017, AppID 1237950) working
with GE-Proton on Linux — no dependency on the ubuntu-post-install framework.

setup-swbf2-wolf.sh  — for Wolf/Games-on-Whales + Moonlight streaming
setup-swbf2-linux.sh — for native Linux Steam (no Docker)

Both implement the same core fix:
- msiextract bypass for JunoConfigureRegistry Wine incompatibility
- EA Desktop files copied into Wine prefix from extracted MSI
- link2ea_fix.reg + ea_services.reg written to drive_c
- Launch wrapper that imports .reg files via Proton on every launch
  (direct system.reg edits are overwritten by wineserver on shutdown)

Wolf version also handles Docker cp, container paths, STEAM_UNIX_SOCKET,
and localconfig.vdf directory locking inside the Wolf state folder.

Claude 8084276738 feat(wolf): add setup-swbf2 command for full SWBF2 2017 Wolf/Moonlight setup
Automates the complete working solution for SWBF2 (AppID 1237950) on Wolf:

1. Extracts EA Desktop from ea_app.msi using msiextract on the host,
   bypassing JunoConfigureRegistry Wine incompatibility that causes MSI rollback
2. Copies EA Desktop files (Link2EA.exe, EALocalHostSvc.exe, etc.) into the
   Wine prefix at the versioned path with symlink
3. Writes link2ea_fix.reg and ea_services.reg into drive_c so they persist
   across Wine prefix operations
4. Installs a launch wrapper (/home/retro/ea_install.sh) that runs regedit
   via Steam's sniper+GE-Proton launch chain — required because direct edits
   to system.reg are overwritten when wineserver flushes on shutdown
5. Sets LaunchOptions for AppID 1237950 in localconfig.vdf and locks the
   config directory (chmod 555) to prevent Steam overwriting it via
   atomic rename on shutdown

Run after: Steam open in Moonlight, GE-Proton set, SWBF2 launched once
(triggers Wine prefix + ea_app.msi creation), EA account linked at ea.com.

wine cmd.exe /c "timeout /t 900 > nul" failed silently (docker exec -d

Claude 70a7b83cc4 fix(wolf): keep wineserver alive during EA App install
EAappInstaller.exe is a WiX/Burn bootstrapper that spawns the real
installer as a background Wine process and exits immediately. When the
foreground wine process exited, wineserver shut down and killed the
background installer before it could write any files.

Fix: launch a cmd.exe/timeout anchor before running the installer so
the shared wineserver stays up while background installer processes run.
Kill the anchor (wineserver -k) after EADesktop.exe is detected or the
15-minute timeout expires.

Claude 7eadf642b7 wolf: fix install-ea-app — correct installer path, clear fake InstallSuccessful
Two bugs in install-ea-app:

1. Installer search included compatdata (the Wine prefix), so it found the
   temp-extracted copy at drive_c/windows/temp/{UUID}/.cr/EAappInstaller.exe
   instead of the bundled copy at steamapps/common/…/__Installer/…/
   Fixed: search only under steamapps/common.

2. Our fake InstallSuccessful=true (written by fix-ea-game to bypass the
   install-script loop) caused EAappInstaller to detect EA App as "already
   installed" and exit in ~15 seconds without doing anything.
   Fixed: delete the InstallSuccessful values via wine reg delete inside the
   container BEFORE launching the installer. The real EA App installer writes
   them back correctly after a successful install.

Claude ddf481b72f wolf: add install-ea-app and diagnose-ea, fix link2ea registration
install-ea-app: runs EAappInstaller.exe inside the WolfSteam container
using GE-Proton's wine binary. The container has a virtual display so the
EA App installer GUI appears in Moonlight; the user clicks through it and
logs in to their EA account. After EA App installs, fix-ea-game registers
the link2ea:// handler and clears the install-script loop.

diagnose-ea: prints the current link2ea:// registry state from both
system.reg and user.reg, locates EADesktop.exe/Link2EA.exe, shows
StateFlags, and tails the relevant Proton log lines — the first thing to
run when the game returns straight to the Play screen.

_apply_ea_fix: now checks user.reg as well as system.reg for an existing
link2ea:// registration (GE-Proton writes to user.reg during prefix setup);
also searches for Link2EA.exe as a fallback handler when EADesktop.exe is
not yet installed; reports a clear next step when neither is found.

Claude 02ae1ae02c wolf: pre-download GE-Proton at install time, auto-extract on start
GE-Proton is required for EA games but was a manual step users had to
remember after first Steam launch. This change eliminates that gap:

- install_wolf() downloads the GE-Proton tarball to
  ~/docker/wolf/ge-proton-cache/ during initial setup (~500 MB, runs
  before the "Start Wolf now?" prompt so it's ready immediately)
- _cache_ge_proton() helper in manage.sh does the same on demand
- ge-proton subcommand checks the cache dir first and extracts from
  there instead of re-downloading (~instant vs ~500 MB download)
- start subcommand auto-extracts the cached tarball into Steam's
  compatibilitytools.d if Steam has already launched at least once,

Claude ef6a63a908 wolf: register link2ea:// handler and add wait-ea-app subcommand
SWBF2 (AppID 1237950) launches, calls ShellExecute("link2ea://..."),
and exits. Without a link2ea:// URL protocol handler registered in the
Wine registry, ShellExecute returns error 31 and the game never plays.

_apply_ea_fix now also writes the link2ea:// Classes registry keys
pointing to EADesktop.exe when it is found in the Proton prefix. If
EADesktop.exe is not yet present (EAappInstaller runs async via
RunType=1 in installScript.vdf), the function warns and skips the
handler registration with instructions to run wait-ea-app.

New 'wait-ea-app [appid]' subcommand polls every 15 seconds (up to 20
minutes) for EADesktop.exe to appear, then calls _apply_ea_fix so the
full fix including the link2ea:// handler is applied automatically once
EA App finishes installing in the background.

Claude a1b4107e3e fix(wolf): stop Steam container before patching EA registry to survive wineserver flush
wineserver holds the Wine registry in memory and flushes it back to
system.reg on shutdown, overwriting any edits made while the container
is running. _apply_ea_fix now stops the WolfSteam container first,
patches system.reg + appmanifest StateFlags on disk, then restarts Wolf
so the keys persist when wineserver next starts.

Also sets StateFlags to 6 (fully installed) so Steam skips the
install-script phase entirely and launches the game directly.

Claude f462c6baa2 wolf: fix steam-cache mount missing from configure-apps CATALOG block
The first Python CATALOG (used at initial install time) was missing the
steam-cache mount that the update-apps block had. Both paths now include
the persistent cache mount.

Claude 40bb80bc7a wolf: persist Steam shader cache across sessions
Mount GAME_STORAGE_DIR/steam-cache → /home/retro/.cache so DXVK/Mesa
Vulkan shader compilations survive container restarts. Without this the
cache lived in the ephemeral session home and was wiped on every Wolf
restart, forcing a full recompile each session.

Also create steam-cache/ in initial setup and update-storage so the
directory exists with correct uid-1000 ownership before the container
first starts.

Claude 3f6e359c7b wolf: make 'games' interactive — pick a number to apply the EA fix
./manage.sh games now lists installed games numbered with their AppIDs,
then prompts for a number to apply the EA App install-script fix to that
game (Enter to skip). Factored the reg-fix into a shared _apply_ea_fix
helper used by both 'games' and 'fix-ea-game'. The EA Desktop installed
marker is shared across all EA titles, so the same fix works for any EA
game — the picker just supplies the right per-game AppID.

Claude d32832ec75 wolf: add tab-completion + clarify fix-ea-game is universal for EA titles
- install-completion: writes a bash completion script to
  ~/.bash_completion.d/manage-wolf and registers it, so double-tab
  after './manage.sh ' shows all available commands.
- fix-ea-game kept as general name (not fix-swbf2-2017): the EA Desktop
  registry key is shared across all EA games; the Valve has-run key
  follows the same EADesktopSetup pattern across EA's catalog.

Claude 3a09c6b6ea wolf: add 'games' AppID lister + GE-Proton version pin + README docs
- ./manage.sh games: lists installed Steam games with their AppIDs
  (parsed from appmanifest_*.acf) so users can find the AppID to pass to
  fix-ea-game instead of hunting for it.
- ./manage.sh ge-proton [version]: optional arg pins a specific
  GE-Proton release for reproducibility; still defaults to latest.
- Document the full EA-games flow + AppID/version notes in the generated
  ~/docker/wolf/README.md.

Claude dcb28adc4f wolf: add ge-proton + fix-ea-game manage commands for EA titles
Add two manage.sh commands that bake in the workarounds needed to run
EA Steam titles (e.g. Star Wars Battlefront II 2017) under Proton in a
container:

- ge-proton: downloads the latest GE-Proton into Steam's
  compatibilitytools.d (the path Steam actually scans) and chowns it to
  uid 1000 so the in-container user can launch it. GE-Proton carries the
  EA App installer fixes stock Proton/Experimental lack.

- fix-ea-game [appid]: pre-satisfies the EA App install-script markers
  in the game's Proton prefix (InstallSuccessful + Valve EADesktopSetup
  has-run key) so Steam stops looping on 'running install script (EA
  app)'. Opt-in per AppID, defaults to SWBF2 1237950, no-ops if the
  prefix doesn't exist, idempotent, and keeps the prefix owned by uid
  1000 so Wine accepts it.

Also document the EA-game flow in the post-install summary.

Claude 2b6cf7700c wolf: drive app-container timezone from .env (WOLF_TZ) to fix Steam/EA time
App containers were defaulting to a non-local timezone (e.g. BST), showing the
wrong local time in Steam — and a skewed clock can stall EA App's installer.
The kernel clock is shared with the host, so this is a display/TZ issue: fix
it by setting each app's TZ env var, sourced from SITE_TZ at install and from
WOLF_TZ in .env for ./manage.sh apps.

Also generalize the array updater to rewrite both `mounts` and `env` (Wolf
reformats either as multi-line), so re-running apps updates the TZ on
already-installed entries without corrupting the TOML.

Claude dd7df8ce18 wolf: mount host timezone into Steam container
/etc/localtime and /etc/timezone are bind-mounted read-only so the Steam
container shows the correct local time. A wrong clock causes EA App install
scripts to hang indefinitely (SSL/token validation against EA's servers fails
when the client clock is skewed).

Fix the host clock first: sudo timedatectl set-ntp true

Claude 9d2e0848e6 wolf: make add-web actually open the URL (firefox policy) + replace on re-add
The GoW firefox image launches `firefox` with no URL and ignores START_URL,
so add-web tiles opened a blank default tab. Instead generate a per-app
Firefox enterprise policy (policies.json) that sets the homepage to the
target URL and bind-mount it over /etc/firefox/policies/policies.json so the
site loads on launch.

Also make add-web replace an existing tile of the same name instead of
erroring, so re-running it repairs a previously broken tile in place.

Claude 3aab169fbc wolf: fix config.toml corruption when re-running on an existing install
Wolf rewrites config.toml on every start and reformats `mounts` as a
multi-line TOML array. update_mounts() only replaced the single line
starting with `mounts =`, leaving the remaining array elements and the
closing `]` orphaned — producing invalid TOML ("Expected '=' after a key")
that crashed Wolf on the next start. This bit any re-run of the installer
(or `./manage.sh apps`) against a config Wolf had already reformatted.

Replace the entire array (from `mounts =` to its closing `]`), and also
clean up orphaned remnants left by a previously corrupted single-line
rewrite so re-running the script repairs a broken config in place.
