The real-Steam launch path is stable across DD / 868-HACK / Shotgun King /
Baba Is You — fold in the remaining structural fixes and strip the
investigation-era diagnostic scaffolding that was left behind.
SteamUtils.kt:
- Replace hardcoded canonical228980Depots table with a runtime PICS resolver
driven by the child acf's SharedDepots. Fixes permanent "gray Play" on
games whose shared-redist depot set diverges from DD's (was silently
writing InstalledDepots{} + BytesToDownload=52MB on those).
- Add SHA-256 verify-and-reheal to STEAM_DLL_REPLACED / STEAM_DLL_RESTORED
markers in replaceSteamApi/restoreSteamApi so a stale marker can no
longer lie about on-disk state (2nd-launch black-screen repro).
- Add validateAcfShape() self-check: after writing any child or 228980
manifest, log Timber.e on shapes known to cause gray Play (Update
Required bit set, BytesToDownload > 0, InstalledDepots empty when it
shouldn't be). Catches future regressions loudly instead of silently.
Diagnostic cleanup:
- Drop SteamFixDiagnostics object, STEAM_HELPER_WINDOW_CLASSES,
REAL_STEAM_STALL_WATCHDOG_MS, and all Timber.tag("SteamFix") log lines
across SteamUtils, SteamService, SteamAutoCloud, SteamTokenLogin,
MainViewModel, XServerScreen, ImageFsInstaller.
- Rewrite the comments that referenced the investigation's numbered
SteamFix list (utkarshdalal#8, utkarshdalal#9, utkarshdalal#11, utkarshdalal#16–utkarshdalal#24) so they stand on their own.
UX default:
- Default disableSteamOverlay to true in Container.java, ContainerData.kt,
and PrefManager.kt. Overlay-on is an opt-in now.
Housekeeping:
- .gitignore: exclude .claude/ session state.
- Drop tracked .claude/scheduled_tasks.lock.
