+## 2.12.0 - 2026-10-13
+
+- **feat: the patched gamescope comes in one build per CPU level, like CachyOS's repositories (generic, x86-64-v3, v4, znver4): Steamify picks the best one this CPU can run (`gsn_cpu_variant`), falls back to generic, and starts the installed gamescope once headless (`gsn_smoke_test`): a build that doesn't start is replaced by the generic one. CI compiles each with an explicit `-march` (a `-march=native` build died with SIGILL on a Ryzen) and checks the binary for instructions beyond its level.**
+- **feat: on NVIDIA the gaming session runs on the display's own mode and Steam's interface at its size: a second gamescope patch (`gamescope-ui-native.patch`, release `3.16.31-3` of steamify-gamescope-nvidia, now the pin; built once per CPU level, see below) keeps Steam's UI X server at the output size when Steam (with `-steamos3`) asks for 1920x1080, and a wrapper (`gamescope-display-wrapper.sh`, set up by the conversion with a drop-in of `gamescope-session.service`) starts gamescope on the mode KDE has saved for the connected display, else the biggest mode at the highest refresh rate: before, gaming mode ran at the display's preferred mode (60 Hz on many monitors) with a 1080p Steam UI. Tested on an RTX 5080, 3440x1440@175: widescreen, sharp, a Proton game starts**
+
+- **fix: on an NVIDIA PC that had single user mode on before the SteamOS conversion, "Return to Gaming Mode" and the boot choice work again: single user mode's desktop autologin (`zzz-steamify-autologin.conf`, read last) pinned the Plasma session; the conversion removes it, and turning the conversion off sets it up again**
+
+- **fix: when an option fails, its sub-options are not applied any more (a failed conversion used to leave its "Boot into the desktop", silent start and icons on without it)**
+
+- **fix: a PC that keeps `python-hidapi` (liquidctl needs it) can use the SteamOS conversion: jupiter-hw-support, which gamescope-session-cachyos depends on, wants `python-hid`, which conflicts with it and stopped the package install. Steamify builds and installs an empty placeholder package that provides `python-hid` first (`patches/python-hid-shim.PKGBUILD`); only the Steam Deck controller firmware updater uses it**
+
+- **feat: the patched gamescope is downloaded as the newest release of steamify-gamescope-nvidia (checked against that release's `.sha256`), a newer one than the installed package shows the SteamOS conversion as an update, and what this Steamify was tested with is the fallback: the pinned package (sha256 in Steamify), the copy the ISO leaves, a build here; the repository's workflow builds each release in CachyOS's container**
+
+- `124b424`, `f234c72` **fix: HDMI-CEC on the Steam Machine no longer needs GitHub: when downloading Valve's CEC driver fails, Steamify uses the copy it carries (`patches/cros-ec-cec.c`), checked against the same pinned sha256**

+`patches/` (`gamescope-gbm-scanout.patch` and the recipe `gamescope-nvidia.PKGBUILD`, kept in sync with
+[steamify-gamescope-nvidia](https://github.com/theupriser/steamify-gamescope-nvidia), where new gamescope versions are
+prepared). gamescope changes every few weeks, so the package is downloaded, not carried: `gsn_install_package` takes the
+**newest release** of that repository (CI builds it in CachyOS's container, once per CPU level: generic, v3, v4, znver4, each checked for instructions beyond its level; a person merges the version bump). `gsn_cpu_variant` picks the build for this CPU (the dynamic loader's x86-64 level; AMD with `avx512_bf16` is znver4), generic is the fallback, and `gsn_smoke_test` runs the installed gamescope headless and swaps in generic when it doesn't start. The package is checked against the pinned hash
+or the release's `.sha256`, and installed with `pacman -U --ask 4` (the package provides and conflicts with `gamescope`). What
+this Steamify release was tested with is the fallback, in this order: the pinned package (`GSN_VERSION`, `GSN_SHA256`: from GitHub, the
+cache, or the copy the ISO leaves in `/usr/local/share/steamify/gamescope`), then a build here from the recipe and patch in `patches/`
+(`makepkg -sf` as the user, in `~/.cache/steamify`; no checksums on gamescope's own sources). A package that downloaded fine but
+doesn't install goes on to the next step; nothing changes before one of them is installed. A newer release than the installed package
+shows the conversion as an update (`gsn_update_pending`, looked up at most every six hours, quiet offline). Simple files that don't
+change (the power-off module, small patches) stay in `patches/` as they are. It is opt-in inside gamescope: `gamescope_drm_gbm_scanout=1` in
+`~/.config/gamescope-session/environment` and `~/.config/environment.d/99-steamify-gamescope-nvidia.conf`. The SteamOS conversion
+(`gaming_enable`) does this on every NVIDIA PC (`nvidia_present`: PCI vendor 0x10de, display class, its driver providing
+`nvidia_drm`), together with what "Gaming on NVIDIA" set up (on a supported card, `nvidia_supported`: GTX 16 / RTX 20 series or
+newer, Turing and later): the kernel parameters, the early modules, suspend memory, the 32-bit libraries (`nvidia_kernel_enable`,
+`nvidia_extras_enable`). So the SteamOS conversion is the one gaming option on NVIDIA now, and "Gaming on NVIDIA" (below) is not
+offered any more (`nvidia_available`); a PC that had it on keeps it until the conversion is turned on, which turns it off
+(`nvidia_swap_out`). Turning the conversion off removes the setting and those settings, and keeps the packages. Tested on an RTX 5080 only.
+
+Before 2.12.0, with an NVIDIA GPU the SteamOS conversion (`gaming`, and its options `boot`, `single`, `glyphs`) wasn't offered, unless
+it was already on. `nvidia` ("Gaming on NVIDIA", `lib/nvidia.sh`) took its place (both would start Steam at login): it installs `steam` when missing (recorded in state `nvidia`, removed again only then) and enables the user
+unit `steamify-steam-autostart.service` (`services/`, `ExecStart=/usr/bin/steam @ARGS@`, Plasma only). Its sub-option
+`bigpicture` ("Steam starts in Big Picture", ticked along with it) rewrites the unit with `-gamepadui` and sets
+`ksmserverrc [General] loginMode=emptySession` (`kset`, undone with `krevert bigpicture`), so windows of the last session
+(Discord, a browser) aren't restored on top of Big Picture; unticked, Steam starts in its normal window. The opt-in sub-option `nvsilent` ("Start Steam silently") rewrites the unit with `-silent`
+(tray only); it and `bigpicture` exclude each other. The PC always boots into the desktop: there is no gamescope session. Takes effect at the next
+login.
+
+On a supported card (RTX 20 series or newer: not on chwd's legacy lists `/var/lib/chwd/ids/nvidia-*.ids`, the VRAM booster's
+check, `vram_nvidia_legacy_id`; `nvidia_supported`) enabling it also does what NVIDIA's DRM stack wants, though it didn't cure
+gamescope: `nvidia-drm.modeset=1 nvidia-drm.fbdev=1` on the kernel command line (Limine, systemd-boot or GRUB; the file is
+backed up first; on Limine into the existing `KERNEL_CMDLINE[default]="..."` or `+="..."` line, never an extra appended line,
+which ends up as text; the kernel treats `nvidia_drm` and `nvidia-drm` alike) and
+`/etc/mkinitcpio.conf.d/90-steamify-nvidia.conf` (`MODULES+=(nvidia nvidia_modeset nvidia_uvm nvidia_drm)`), then the initramfs
+and boot entries are rebuilt and checked for the parameters. The early-load drop-in is only there while every installed kernel
+has the NVIDIA modules (mkinitcpio fails on a missing module, and `limine-mkinitcpio` then skips that kernel's boot entry):
+a pacman hook (`/etc/pacman.d/hooks/85-steamify-nvidia-initramfs.hook`, after DKMS, before the initramfs is built) runs
+`/usr/local/libexec/steamify-nvidia-initramfs` at every kernel or driver change and decides again. Turning it off removes
+all of it. The tests are in steamify-cachyos-dev: `tests/nvidia-test.sh` (a fake GPU, a stub `pacman` and `systemctl`, a temp home) and `tests/nvidia-hardware-test.sh` (a real NVIDIA PC).
+
+Tried and dropped (notes in steamify-cachyos-dev, `nvidia/HARDWARE-RESULTS.md`): a gamescope session that opens Big Picture in Plasma (it needed the `start-gamescope-session`

+a KWin session without Plasma (the mouse stuttered every second or two).
