  - **Auto-reconnect** (`app.py`): a session that *was connected* and drops retries `client.connect_to` with exponential backoff (base `reconnect_base_seconds=2.0` kwarg — tests inject ~0.05 — doubling to a 30 s cap), driven by a per-session single-shot QTimer. `ShareClient.connectionFailed` exists because **Qt emits `disconnected` only for sockets that reached ConnectedState** — refused/unreachable attempts fire `errorOccurred` with the socket back in UnconnectedState. The active-timer guard dedupes the errorOccurred+disconnected double-fire. Denial cancels until a manual activation; tab close/forget/quit cancel; retries bypass `_connect_session` on purpose (no perf reset, no tab steal, no inventory attempt spam). **Open session tabs persist** (`open_sessions` JSON in Settings, written on connect/rename/close) and are restored + reconnected at startup with `auto_reconnect` pre-armed, so a not-yet-available server is retried on the backoff loop; deliberately closed tabs are not restored. While no session exists, a non-closable "Server" placeholder tab (instructions) sits at index 0 and swaps with the first session's tab.
77
77
  - **Menus & shortcuts contract** (`app.py` `_build_menus`, `viewer.py`): File/View/Help menu bar; shortcuts Ctrl+W (close session tab), Ctrl+Q (quit), F5 (rescan), F11 (fullscreen). While a viewer shows a frame it **accepts `ShortcutOverride`** so every key forwards to the remote machine — **F11 is the single reserved local key**. Shortcut actions are also `addAction`-ed on the window so they fire with the menu bar hidden (fullscreen). Keep every menu/action as an attribute — PySide6 gives Python ownership of `addMenu`/`addAction` (and `QAction.menu()`) wrappers, and a GC'd local deletes the C++ object. Fullscreen hides menu/status bars, dock, and tab bar and restores them (including pre-fullscreen dock visibility) on exit; `closeEvent` exits fullscreen before persisting layout. Window geometry AND dock layout persist (`window_state.save_state`/`restore_state`, key `main_window_state`; the dock needs its objectName).
78
78
  - **Privacy toggles**: Preferences' "Sync clipboard" checkbox (`clipboard_sync_enabled`, default on) drives `ClipboardSync.enabled` — while off, local copies aren't sent and peer payloads aren't applied. View-only sharing is the "view" mode of the Screen sharing radios (`ShareServer.set_input_allowed` — a server-side drop, no wire change, that releases held input when switched off). Quitting with ≥1 viewer connected asks for confirmation (declining resets `_quitting`); restart shuts sharing down first so it never double-prompts.
79
+ - **Screen capture** (`app.py`): the dock's "Screen capture" group (Copy / Save…, viewer-role UI hidden with the panel) and the matching File-menu actions (`copy_capture_action`/`save_capture_action`, same handlers) capture the current session tab's last frame at full server resolution (`ViewerWidget.frame_image()` — the lock overlay is display-only and never part of it). Copy goes through `ClipboardSync.copy_image`, which records the content signature *before* setting the clipboard so the capture is never echoed to peers, and works with sync disabled (the preference governs syncing, not local copies). Save is `QFileDialog.getSaveFileName` (tests monkeypatch it) defaulting to `Pictures\<server> <timestamp>.png`, PNG only. All four widgets enable only while the current tab shows a frame — `_update_capture_actions()`, called from tab change, `_on_frame` (unconditionally: auto-reconnect refills a cleared viewer without `_connect_session`), and every `viewer.clear` path (connect/denied/approval-pending/disconnect).
79
80
  - **Reduce visual effects while sharing** (`visual_effects.py`): animations/fades are a burst of changed frames for the lossless pipeline, so while the preference is on (default on, `reduce_effects_enabled`, `load_reduce_effects_enabled`) **and ≥1 viewer is connected**, `MainWindow` applies `VisualEffectsReducer` and restores it when the last viewer leaves (driven by `SharingTab.viewerCountChanged`; explicit safety-net restore in `closeEvent`). The reduced set: SPI_SETUIEFFECTS off, drop shadows off, client-area + min/max animations off, submenu delay lowered to 50 ms (never raised). All via `SystemParametersInfo` **without** SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE — session-scoped, never persisted, self-heals at logoff; knobs already at the reduced value are left untouched so the user's own choices are never "restored" over. The backend (`SpiBackend`) is injectable — **tests must always inject `FakeSpiBackend`** (the preference defaults on, so a real reducer in a test would change the host's actual Windows settings; `make_window` in `tests/test_main_window.py` injects it for every window test, and real-backend tests may only read).
80
81
  - **Theme preference** (`preferences.py`): a three-radio group in Preferences — follow the Windows light/dark setting (default) / Light / Dark — persisted as `THEME_KEY` (`"system"`/`"light"`/`"dark"`, `load_theme` falls back to system on junk). `apply_theme` drives `QStyleHints.setColorScheme` (`unsetColorScheme` for system, so OS-side switches keep applying); the radios apply live and `MainWindow.__init__` re-applies the persisted choice before building widgets. Tests that set a non-system theme must restore with `apply_theme(THEME_SYSTEM)` — the color scheme is process-global QApplication state.
81
82
  - **Two `PerformanceMonitor`s, never one**: `MainWindow.client_performance` (viewing sessions) and `server_performance` (the SharingTab's viewers). `ShareServer.close()` resets its monitor, so sharing a monitor across roles would wipe the other role's graphs. The Performance tab has "Client (viewer)"/"Server (sharing)" sub-tabs (`MainWindow.performance_pages`) — but only for roles that can produce data: the client sub-tab exists only with the viewer role, the server one only while actually serving (`_update_performance_tabs`, driven from the viewer toggle and `sharingChanged`; both off shows an enable-a-role hint). `PreferencesTab` takes the list of monitors and applies the history-window setting to all.

  - Sharing tests drive real sockets on the GUI thread by pumping `qapp.processEvents()` until a condition holds (see `pump()` in `tests/test_sharing.py`). Use the `make_server`/`make_client` helpers there and the session-scoped `credentials` fixture (one generated cert reused across tests — generating per test is ~100ms each). Tests exercise the real pairing flow (auto-approve), so there is no "pre-approve" shortcut anymore.
91
92
  - **Input forwarding**: `ViewerWidget` captures mouse/keyboard events and emits `inputEvent` dicts with coordinates normalized 0..1 over the *displayed* frame rect (letterboxing is reversed via `_display_rect()`; events outside the frame are dropped). Keys carry the client's `nativeVirtualKey()` — since both ends are Windows, the server injects that VK directly with no key-translation table. The client sends these as `{"type": "input", ...}`; `ShareServer` only injects input from streams that completed the hello/approval handshake.
92
93
  - **Remote cursor shape** (`cursor_shape.py`): the captured frame never contains the mouse pointer (DXGI duplication and BitBlt both exclude it), so the client mirrors the server's cursor on its *local* cursor instead. `ShareServer` takes an opt-in `cursor_probe=` callable (the `clipboard=` pattern — only the GUI passes one, `SharingTab` wires `current_cursor_shape`: GetCursorInfo compared against the shared standard IDC_* handles; custom cursors → "arrow", not showing → "hidden"). The probe is polled each broadcast tick and `{"type": "cursor", "shape": ...}` is sent on change only, plus once to each just-admitted stream. `ShareClient.cursorShapeChanged` → `ViewerWidget.set_remote_cursor` maps names to Qt cursors (unknown names → arrow); `clear()` unsets the cursor. Peers without the feature never send / silently ignore the message.
94
+ - **Lock-screen notice** (`session_lock.py`): the Windows lock screen / secure desktop (also UAC, Ctrl+Alt+Del) can be neither captured nor injected into by a user-mode process, so remote unlock is impossible by design (documented in the readme; the assumption is the server machine is physically reachable to sign in). `ShareServer` takes an opt-in `lock_probe=` callable (the `cursor_probe=` pattern — only the GUI wires `is_session_locked`, which reads OpenInputDesktop failure as "secure desktop has input"). Polled each broadcast tick; `{"type": "session_lock", "locked": bool}` is sent on change, plus to just-admitted streams while locked (unlocked is the assumed start state, so it's never sent on admission). While locked the server drops remote input with a once-per-lock-episode status line ("Ignoring remote input while the session is locked"). `ShareClient.sessionLockChanged` → `ViewerWidget.set_session_locked`: the viewer dims whatever it shows under `viewer.LOCKED_MESSAGE`; `clear()` resets it (so reconnects start unlocked). Peers without the feature never send / silently ignore the message. Sharing tests inject a fake `lock_probe` — the default None means plain tests never poll the host's real desktop.
93
95
  - **Modal-loop pump** (`modal_loop.py`): a Windows title-bar drag (or click-and-hold) puts the window's thread into a native modal move/size loop where Qt's dispatcher stops — for a sharing instance this deadlocked when a *remote* click grabbed the window's own title bar (the mouse-up sat unread on the socket). `MainWindow.nativeEvent` feeds `ModalLoopPump`, which runs a native `SetTimer` from `WM_NCLBUTTONDOWN` (a press-and-hold that never moves blocks in DefWindowProc's click tracking without ever sending `WM_ENTERSIZEMOVE`) until `WM_CAPTURECHANGED`/`WM_EXITSIZEMOVE`, whose callback pumps Qt events (user input excluded). The caption buttons (min/max/close) are the exception — their tracking loop dispatches only mouse messages, so no timer can pump inside it; the pump instead performs those via its `caption_action` callback on press and consumes the message (nativeEvent must return True when `handle_native_event` does), so DefWindowProc's button tracking never starts. Tests inject a fake `timers` backend — never let them create real Win32 timers.
94
96
  - **Log exchange**: either side can fetch the peer's debug log over the connection (`{"type": "log_request"}` → `{"type": "log", "text": ...}`, admitted streams only). `ShareServer`/`ShareClient` take a `log_provider=` callable (the app passes `logs.read_log_tail("remotedesktop")`, capped at `logs.TAIL_BYTES`); a missing provider/file answers with a placeholder rather than hanging the requester. The Connection log group on the Connections tab has both buttons — "Get server log" asks the server of the current session tab, "Get client log" asks the most recently admitted viewer; the reply opens a `logs.PeerLogDialog`.
95
97
  - **Injection is isolated behind `InputInjector`** (`input_injection.py`, Windows `SendInput` via ctypes; inert stub off-Windows). ShareServer takes an `injector=` param so tests pass a recording fake — **never let tests construct a real `InputInjector`, or they will move the host's actual mouse/keyboard.** Normalized 0..1 coords map directly to SendInput's 0..65535 absolute range over the primary monitor.

145
+ **A locked computer cannot be viewed or unlocked remotely.** The lock
146
+ screen, the PIN/password prompt, and UAC elevation prompts run on a
147
+ separate *secure desktop* that Windows deliberately walls off from
148
+ ordinary applications: nothing running as the signed-in user may capture
149
+ it or type into it, so no software can read or fill in a credential
150
+ prompt. This app intentionally runs as the signed-in user — no admin
151
+ rights, no system service — so it sits on the application side of that
152
+ wall (remote-access products that can show the login screen install a
153
+ privileged Windows service to cross it).
154
+
155
+ What happens instead: when the shared computer locks, viewers stay
156
+ connected and see a clear *"The remote computer is locked"* notice over
157
+ the last frame, and any input they send is ignored until the computer is
158
+ unlocked. The working assumption is that you (or someone nearby) can get
159
+ to the shared computer to sign it in; once its desktop is unlocked,
160
+ streaming and control resume on their own. If that round trip is a
161
+ nuisance, keep the shared computer signed in while you work on it
162
+ remotely — for example by lengthening its lock/sleep timeout in Windows
163
+ settings.

+ separate *secure desktop* that Windows deliberately walls off from
124
+ ordinary applications: nothing running as the signed-in user may capture
125
+ it or type into it, so no software can read or fill in a credential
126
+ prompt. This app intentionally runs as the signed-in user — no admin
127
+ rights, no system service — so it sits on the application side of that
128
+ wall (remote-access products that can show the login screen install a
129
+ privileged Windows service to cross it).
130
+
131
+ What happens instead: when the shared computer locks, viewers stay
132
+ connected and see a clear *"The remote computer is locked"* notice over
133
+ the last frame, and any input they send is ignored until the computer is
134
+ unlocked. The working assumption is that you (or someone nearby) can get
135
+ to the shared computer to sign it in; once its desktop is unlocked,
136
+ streaming and control resume on their own. If that round trip is a
137
+ nuisance, keep the shared computer signed in while you work on it
138
+ remotely — for example by lengthening its lock/sleep timeout in Windows
139
+ settings.
