PLANK 1.0.143

Changes since 1.0.137

  • Correct absolute mouse coordinates at the right and bottom image edges in
    both the Client and shared input sender. Prevent valid edge interaction from
    becoming an out-of-bounds packet that the macOS Host rejects. Preserve ordered
    button/key events and strict Host validation.
  • Remove the Linux Host's inherited delayed-left-release/synthetic-right-click
    workaround. Deliver buttons immediately and retain disconnect/session cleanup.
  • Apply the fast-send policy to Linux Host: remove application datagram pacing
    and use the same 1 Gbps minimum rate-derived Quinn window budget as macOS.
    This does not set the encoder bitrate to 1 Gbps or change FEC, MTU or queue sizes.
  • Stop treating macOS screen-lock notification alone as permanent revocation
    of an authenticated graphical session. Logout, user switching, sleep, changed
    console ownership, permission loss and expired admission remain protected;
    the macOS lock screen still requires normal OS authentication.
  • Allow administrators to read macOS system Host logs without granting write
    access. Private user logs, credentials and keys retain their protections.
  • Add privacy-safe session-stop/transport-failure classification and bounded
    input timing summaries, with new lifecycle, input-boundary and package tests.

The operator accepted these changes after candidate testing and reported no
further waiting popup during the latest observation. Versions 1.0.138–1.0.142
were integration candidates; 1.0.143 is the fresh mainline rebuild.

Packages

  • Linux Host: Rocky Linux 9.7, x86-64 RPM.
  • Linux Client: Ubuntu 26.04, x86-64 DEB.
  • macOS Host: macOS 27+, Apple Silicon, signed/notarized PKG.
  • macOS Client: macOS 15+, Apple Silicon, signed/notarized DMG.

All products are rebuilt on GitHub-hosted builders from main. Exact-input
dependency caches may be reused; application/transport compilation and packaging
run fresh. No machine is automatically upgraded. NVIDIA driver qualification
remains capped at 595.91.07.

SHA256SUMS uses downloadable filenames; manifest.json records package-source
commits, dependency pins and validation separately from live acceptance.
GitHub source archives omit submodules; clone the complete release with:

git clone --recurse-submodules --branch v1.0.143 https://github.com/instinctual/plank.git

Validation and known limitations

All four product builds and both signed Mac package gates passed from main
commit 86c435ed8ba9c5b143048c5a6f8db5d6870606bf:

Local release checks passed all 48 CI-policy tests, seven portable CTest suites,
23 macOS installer-script checks and diagnostic-label/timing tests. Hosted
privacy and clipboard regression checks passed. Candidate tests passed Client
input-boundary suites, Mac lifecycle/session tests, native log-access checks,
Linux input cleanup and fast-send/baseline transport tests. Hardware-dependent
UHID skips are not hardware acceptance.

The final Linux RPM was packaged with BUILD_TESTS=OFF; the subsequent input
test build did not replace or repackage it. Its lifecycle suite passed 25
shuffled iterations, with three hardware-dependent UHID skips each. No new
live hardware tests or package installations were performed during this rebuild.

The signed macOS Host's first attempt timed out receiving one audio packet in
a C ABI loopback test, after its video and fingerprint-trust checks passed.
One unchanged rerun and the independent ordinary Mac Host build passed. No
test timeout or assertion was relaxed; the initial timeout's cause remains
unconfirmed. Final mainline build results are recorded in the handoff.

Mouse lag over macOS System Settings' Wallpaper and Screen Saver panels remains
unresolved and is explicitly deferred. It is distinct from actual screen-lock
handling; this release does not claim to fix it or every possible reconnect.
Synthetic lock/authority tests do not replace live lock/unlock and user-switch
qualification. Broader permission, Wacom, color, network and long-session gates
still apply.

The existing Linux physical-display lease/provenance mismatch and clipboard
immediate-paste stress gate remain open. macOS 27 beta results require final-OS
revalidation. Unrelated pending PRs and RK3576 research are not included.
