Synchronize Motif decoration hints on style and titlebar-property changes, including native-window recreation and restoring ordinary WM decorations. Add a ten-case standalone Cocoa/X11 regression probe and document validation on KWin/Xwayland.
From #61, without the default "AMD Radeon Pro 5500M" / 4 GB identity: the
host GPU's name and Vulkan working set stay the default for every app, and
the existing DARLING_METAL_GPU_NAME and DARLING_METAL_VRAM_MB overrides
remain the opt-in. Reporting 4 GB on a 2 GB card invites allocation
failures, and under-reports larger cards.
Kept from #61:
- registryID returns MTLDeviceInfo::kDefaultRegistryID instead of 0; a
real Mac never reports 0 and apps key devices by it.
- Vertex buffer layout and attribute arrays release the old item after
retiring it; the retire step read the item after the release could free it.
- newDepthStencilState, newSamplerState and the device name return nil (or
the fallback name) when Indium throws, instead of unwinding through
Objective-C.
- MTLDepthStencilGetIndium is declared only with DARLING_METAL_ENABLED.
- The replaceRegion trace probes at most `width` bytes, which stays inside
the first row for every pixel format.
metal.patch is regenerated in its existing file order, so the diff is
these changes only. tests/test_metal_device_info.py compiles the host
check against MTLDeviceInfo.h as shipped in the patch and runs in CI.
Split from #61.

A terminal, IDE or service manager can leave descriptors open in the
launcher, and the guest inherited all of them. tools/exec-guest.py closes
every descriptor above stderr and then execs the guest command.
A shell loop over /proc/self/fd cannot do this portably: dash only parses
single-digit descriptors in redirections, so "exec 10>&-" runs a command
named 10 and ends the launcher on Debian and Ubuntu.
The launcher offline check now leaks descriptors 3, 4, 12 and 200 into the
launcher and asserts the guest sees only 0, 1 and 2. It runs in CI.
Split from #61.

Ignore both invalidation methods on the shared session; deliver task completion through the owning session delegate queue. Extend the standalone probe to exercise singleton reuse and a suspended custom queue. Require stable old-client process identities and complete window data before optional recovery, and continue launch after shutdown failures.
Security reads the system trust domain from
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain and
SystemTrustSettings.plist (TrustSettingsSchema.h). Darling ships neither, so
SecTrustSettingsCopyCertificates(kSecTrustSettingsDomainSystem) returns
errSecNoTrustSettings (-25263); Chromium's known_roots_mac and Riot's
CertBundle then report that they cannot read the system roots.
ensure-darling-root-certificates.py parses each host root with a minimal DER
walker and writes the trust record keyed by the uppercase SHA-1, with the
encoded issuer Name, the serial INTEGER's content octets, modDate and an
empty (unrestricted) trustSettings array. The keychain is built with the
guest security tool in one darling shell, in a private temporary directory,
and published from inside the guest so a running Darling sees it, falling
back to the host when the guest cannot write the directory. A digest stamp
skips later runs without starting Darling. The launcher warns and continues
on failure; install-runtime.sh runs it before stopping Darling.

-[MTLDevice name] returned "Darling Indium Device" for every GPU. It now
returns the selected Vulkan device's name in macOS Metal style: the
trailing driver note in brackets and the (R)/(TM) marks are removed, and
NVIDIA names are unchanged. The name is never replaced with another
vendor's. recommendedMaxWorkingSetSize is the device-local heap size on
discrete GPUs and all heaps on integrated/CPU devices, with the old 1 GiB
as fallback. Both are computed once per device.
hasUnifiedMemory stays YES by default: synchronizeResource:/
synchronizeTexture: are missing and Private buffers created with data
abort in Indium, so reporting NO on discrete GPUs would send apps down
unimplemented paths. DARLING_METAL_HOST_UNIFIED_MEMORY=1 opts in to the
GPU-type answer. DARLING_METAL_GPU_NAME and DARLING_METAL_VRAM_MB
override the name and working set.
The cleaning logic lives in private-include/Metal/MTLDeviceInfo.h and is
covered by the host check tools/test-metal-device-info.cpp. Metal now
links indium_private for the Vulkan properties, and the runtime build
script adds Indium's private headers before compiling MTLDevice.mm.

Port the fullscreen policy omitted when adapting PR #12. Track requested fullscreen state across frame and style changes, exclude unmanaged windows, and use EWMH REMOVE when leaving fullscreen.
Extend the native geometry probe and document passive tracing for the reported vertical click offset, whose cause remains unconfirmed.
CGDisplayScreenSize returned 0x0 for any display with EDID (upstream left
that branch unimplemented). League divides by it for its camera aspect
ratio, so the view-projection x row became NaN: every 3D vertex was
discarded, the scene showed only its blue clear colour, and world clicks
were ignored. Read the size from the EDID detailed timing (mm) or basic
parameters (cm), fall back to 96 dpi, and use the main display for an
unknown id.
CGDisplayCopyAllDisplayModes returned NULL for display 0 (a window off
every screen), which League passes straight to CFArrayGetCount. Fall back
to the main display, then to an empty array.
Add riot-display-modes-check covering both for the main display,
display 0 and an unknown id.

Adapt the geometry fix from PR #12 to the current relative-mouse implementation. Keep display IDs independent of primary-first screen ordering, translate window and pointer coordinates consistently, and invalidate geometry on both RandR event types.
Handle failed RandR snapshots and free EDID data. Add isolated native geometry regression coverage and use the configured SDK when linking the X11 probe.
Validated all 30 component patches, the X11 and CoreGraphics builds, six native geometry groups, and the existing relative-mouse checks. The user confirmed the installed fix works on 2026-10-16.

Traverse the layer tree before compositing so nested Metal layers consume queued drawables and recycle their pool. Add a nested presentation probe covering pool reuse and Vulkan-to-OpenGL pixel readback.
Wait up to 2 s for the cancellation callback instead of one 50 ms run-loop
pass, count only callbacks without stored addresses so a completed lookup
cannot pass as a cancellation, print the failing stage, and have the runner
require the exact success line since Darling can exit zero after a trap.

Fix X11 presentation handoff after resizing, preserve NSView size callbacks, and correct content and backing-layer geometry. Add CoreText font enumeration for the language dropdown and rebuild/install the matching runtime overlays.
Correct CarbonCore Gestalt version queries and roll back proc_listpids for Vanguard testing. Document that VAN -101 can still recur. Include accumulated CoreAudio stream and AudioUnit corrections.
Add standalone font, version, resize and publisher-handoff regressions. Record manual confirmation of the language dropdown and window resizing; all 29 pinned patches and the source/script audit validate.
Drop the tooling that drives, automates, inspects, profiles, captures or
patches the Riot client and League game process, plus the historical
research/tools probes. These were never part of the supported workflow and
involve synthetic input, attaching to Riot's process, driving its local API,
or patching its binaries.
Removed from tools/: the baron-* and practice helpers, uinput_click.py,
lcu-practice-game.py, check-riot-vanguard.py, the riot-league-* / riot-open-url-*
inspector hooks and API/state helpers, the riot-*-watch.py observers,
riot-match-capture/ profilers, riot-cursor-watch/, the analyze-*/symbolize-*
profilers, capture-game-perf.py, the native VPX bridge and the client
log-dir/autofill shims. Removed all of research/tools/.
The supported launch/install pipeline is unchanged: scripts/, the launcher and
ensure-* helpers, fetch-installer.sh, stop-darling-runtime.py, the
build-*-runtime / build-m58f3* runtime builders, the install-* overlays and
offline installer checks, and the standalone operator/-check regression probes
are all retained. Docs that referenced the removed tools were updated.
LaunchServices now hands http, https and mailto URLs to the host desktop
itself instead of NSWorkspace writing them to a spool that nothing in
the normal workflow drains. It loads the host libsystemd through the ELF
loader and calls xdg-desktop-portal OpenURI on the session bus, falling
back to xdg-open in a transient systemd user unit, so the browser starts
outside Darling's namespaces. LSGetApplicationForURL reports the host
opener for these schemes because Electron checks for a handler before
opening a link. NSWorkspace goes through LSOpenCFURLRef.
Tested with a host-side D-Bus regression (79 checks) and in a fresh
guest prefix through open(1) and NSWorkspace, both reaching the portal
with the exact URL.

Two matches with the Indium hand-off round (narrow present wait, deferred
blits, worker-side command-buffer lease, skipping CPU Vulkan devices) ran
slower than before, with more main-thread futex waiting. Each change is now
behind a guest flag file and off by default, so the default libindium matches
the round-3 build (vertex-descriptor dirty masks, cheaper resource setters).
The wait counters stay opt-in, write a "waits enabled" line when they are on
and keep their state per image. The docs explain that flag files created from
the host while Darling runs may stay invisible through the overlay mount.
Also adds a passive cursor watcher. The stuck in-game cursor is Hyprland's
direct scanout, not Darling. The first match with direct scanout off averaged
135 FPS. STATUS, TROUBLESHOOTING and README are updated with the new matches.

The counters (user space, counting only) show page walks cost the game's
main thread at most 3.5% of its cycles, so huge pages for its code are not
worth pursuing and for its heap are worth at most 1-3%.

Game process (ARAM Hexgate: 84 -> 127 FPS average, slowest stretches ~110):
- Local pthread mutexes, condition variables and Mach semaphores are on by
default in the game process only, with /tmp/rclol-no-local-* opt-outs.
The main thread's darlingserver waits fell from 1.36 to 0.10 ms per frame.
- Local semaphores: the count and the slot generation change in one
compare-exchange, a destroy leaves a negative marker, the table is reset
after fork, and names the table did not create go to the server.
- Metal: drop identical re-binds (keyed on the Indium object, depth-stencil
retained), pass blit resources by reference, and stop resetting vertex
descriptors twice.
- Core isolation of the main thread is opt-in (/tmp/rclol-core-isolation);
it lowered FPS in its only match.
- Optimized libc/libc++/Foundation overlays, AVX2 string primitives, real CPU
topology and their installers and offline checks.
Tools and docs:
- tools/riot-match-capture: passive /proc sampler, user-space IP profiler and
reports, plus a comparison against the game's netstats.
- tools/riot-lsem-model and tools/riot-metal-bind-model: host models that
extract the shipped code and check it.
- tools/install-riot-metal-pair.sh installs Metal and Indium together.
- Status, setup, testing and troubleshooting docs updated with the measured
matches and the switch table; manifest file counts match the patches.

Preserve floating-point arguments in GL resolvers, retain presentation across differently sized windows, export AppKit click and URL fixes, and guard nullable LaunchServices errors. Include compiler/build and installer corrections for the new PC.
Reuse server receive buffers with descriptor-safe exception cleanup and avoid disabled debug-string allocation. Translate Darwin free/reuse memory hints, add atomic server/library installers with separate user-owned memory backups, and preserve active processes until a manual namespace restart.
Remove automatic inspectors, client helpers and forced unlimited UI frames from normal launches. Retain historical hooks with offline mocks and document their exclusion, unresolved installer handoff, activation requirements and unmeasured FPS/RAM benefits.
Validation: all 29 pinned patches apply; all 461 exported source files match; host receive and memory checks, launcher and JavaScript mocks, syntax and documentation-link checks pass. No live client/game was controlled or restarted.
