feat(screen): stream the display framebuffer to local clients (DisplayFrame mirroring) - #11681
Streams the device's screen to the local clients that ask for it, and completes the remote-control story started by send_input_event (meshtastic/protobufs#702). Prior art: meshtastic/web#224. Draft until meshtastic/protobufs#1054 merges; the submodule then moves to protobufs master. The pin is #1054's head on develop's protobufs base, so the regenerated headers differ from develop only by the display messages. Android client: meshtastic/Meshtastic-Android#6987.
How it works
graphics::ScreenMirror snapshots the 1bpp OLEDDisplay framebuffer after each committed frame (updateUiFrame's exits, so a lockdown build mirrors the redacted LOCKED frame). A memcmp gates capture, so a static screen streams nothing.
The two admin verbs are handled in PhoneAPI, beside lockdown_auth, because the subscription belongs to the connection. set_display_mirror subscribes that connection; get_display_frame_request asks for one frame. ScreenMirror captures while any connection is subscribed or waiting and frees its buffers when none is. A remote request reaches AdminModule and gets NOT_AUTHORIZED.
Chunks drain through getFromRadio at lowest priority with a per-connection cursor, and only to connections that asked.
Color: TFTDisplay/HUB75Display hand the mirror their region table at paint time, before clearTFTColorRegions(). Palettes stream as display_palette chunks keyed by a signature over the regions and theme defaults; frames carry the signature they were painted with.
DeviceMetadata.display (DisplayInfo) reports geometry, PanelClass and touch during the handshake, on builds with mirroring.
Condition
Behavior
Screen unchanged
nothing sent
Theme recolor, pixels unchanged
new frame + palette
Request while the panel is off
the last committed frame, unless lockdown is redacting
Last interested connection leaves
snapshot + palette freed (memaudit mirror)
Connection that never asked (CLI, integrations, MUI's PacketAPI)
receives nothing
Unauthorized connection under MESHTASTIC_PHONEAPI_ACCESS_CONTROL
its admin payloads are dropped; never receives frames
MESHTASTIC_EXCLUDE_SCREEN_MIRROR / no screen
compiles out; verbs refused
Cost
Nothing allocated until a connection asks: snapshot (1 KB on 128×64, 9.6 KB on 320×240) plus a 576 B palette table, freed when the last one leaves. sizeof(meshtastic_FromRadio) is unchanged (768 B on host); encoded FromRadio_size stays 510 ≤ 512.
Not in this PR
MUI/LVGL (RGB565) mirroring compiles out (HAS_MUI_MIRROR 0) until feat(graphics): DisplayMirror for screen mirroring and remote input device-ui#394 lands and the pin bumps. Known MUI-path follow-ups: pure-MUI boards (HAS_SCREEN=0) cannot enable it yet, the frame notify runs on the LVGL task, and rect-pool overflow with no consumer repaints in a loop.
No capture throttle: a screen that changes faster than a BLE client drains restarts its frame.
device-ui#394 is the current blocker: without DisplayMirror the MUI/colour path compiles out of every committed firmware configuration, leaving only the 1bpp mono path.

The change adds feature-gated screen mirroring for rendered frames and palettes, with optional MUI rectangle capture and input injection. PhoneAPI handles local mirror subscriptions and frame requests, then sends mirror data in chunks. Display metadata reports mirror dimensions, format, panel class, and touch support when available.

Summary
Mirror capture and chunk service src/configuration.h, src/graphics/ScreenMirror.h, src/graphics/ScreenMirror.cpp, src/graphics/Screen.h
Feature gates control screen and MUI mirroring. ScreenMirror tracks clients and requests, captures rendered frames and palettes, and provides frame, palette, and optional MUI rectangle chunks.
Display capture and MUI setup src/graphics/Screen.cpp, src/graphics/HUB75Display.cpp, src/graphics/TFTDisplay.cpp, src/graphics/tftSetup.cpp, src/main.cpp, src/modules/AdminModule.cpp, variants/native/portduino/platformio.ini
Screen, HUB75, and TFT paths provide rendered-frame or palette data. TFT setup configures MUI rectangle capture and input injection. Device metadata reports mirror display properties, and a native TFT mirror environment is added. AdminModule rejects mesh mirror requests and routes supported MUI input events to direct injection.
PhoneAPI requests and delivery src/mesh/PhoneAPI.cpp, src/mesh/PhoneAPI.h
PhoneAPI tracks per-connection mirror state, handles local subscription and frame requests, and sends palette and frame chunks.

Rebased onto develop. It had gone conflicting overnight (PhoneAPI.cpp, plus the device-ui pin in platformio.ini), and a conflicting PR runs no workflows at all, silently, so nothing had been checked since.
Also follows device-ui#394's new shape. The mirror moved out of device-ui's InputDriver and DisplayDriver base classes into a DisplayMirror class, so the call sites here move with it: DisplayMirror::start(deviceScreen->getDisplayDriver()) after DeviceScreen::init() replaces InputDriver::enableInjection() before it. Renames otherwise. All of it sits inside HAS_MUI_MIRROR, which no committed configuration defines.

Acknowledge local mirror Admin requests when requested.
When p.decoded.want_response is set, handleScreenMirrorAdmin(p) returns before the normal Admin acknowledgement is created. The frame chunks use separate FromRadio.display_frame messages, so they do not satisfy the requested Routing response. The requester can therefore wait for an acknowledgement that never arrives.

…rame chunks
ScreenMirror snapshots the 1bpp OLEDDisplay buffer after each committed
frame (updateUiFrame), diffing against the last sent snapshot so only
changed frames stream. Armed via the new AdminMessage set_display_mirror
(continuous) / get_display_frame_request (one-shot); chunks drain through
PhoneAPI's STATE_SEND_PACKETS chain like XModem, so BLE, serial and TCP
clients all receive them. The lockdown path mirrors the LOCKED frame,
preserving display redaction. Excludable with MESHTASTIC_EXCLUDE_SCREEN_MIRROR.
Bumps the protobufs submodule to the DisplayFrame PoC commit and
regenerates nanopb sources (FromRadio_size stays 510 <= 512).
Gate frame delivery on getAdminAuthorized under access control (screen
pixels are operator content, same rule as mesh packets); move the drain
to lowest getFromRadio/available priority behind the replay drain; give
each PhoneAPI its own (frameId, offset) cursor via ScreenMirror::copyChunk
so coexisting BLE/serial/TCP clients each receive complete frames; disarm
and free the snapshot on client close and on setMirror(false), with
memaudit accounting and a geometry-change realloc guard; honor the
local-connection-only contract for both admin verbs (mp.from == 0);
demote the per-frame onNotify log to TRACE; hoist the guard into a
derived HAS_SCREEN_MIRROR in configuration.h.
Regenerates protos for the reviewed contract (FORMAT_UNSPECIFIED = 0,
MONO_VLSB = 1, width/height int_size:16).
…mirroring
ScreenMirror captures the color-region table with each snapshot when the
frame signature changes (regions byte-swapped from panel order to logical
RGB565, defaults = White / theme body background) and streams it as
FromRadio.display_palette chunks ahead of frames, with per-client
(signature, region) cursors like the frame drain. Frames reference the
palette via palette_signature; monochrome-only builds send 0 and no
palettes. Also classify USE_TFTDISPLAY/HAS_SPI_TFT panels (T-Deck) as
TFT in DeviceMetadata.display.
…frame
TFTDisplay/HUB75 consume and then clear the per-frame color-region table
inside display(), so the post-update capture always photographed an empty
table and mirrors rendered monochrome. The drivers now hand ScreenMirror
the palette (signature, defaults, regions — all panel-byte-order, swapped
to logical RGB565 in the store) right before clearing, and the mirror
stamps frames with the signature of the palette they were painted with.
Vertical becomes encoder rotation (what actually moves focus in an LVGL
group) and horizontal becomes the slider keys, deliberately inverted, so
remote control matches what the device's own trackball driver emits.
Four defects from review. The idempotence guard added with the wake work
skipped cleanup when a one-shot request disarmed, stranding the 192 KB
rect pool and leaving the mirror armed for a departed client — cleanup is
now unconditional and only the log is guarded. The rect FIFO has a single
shared cursor, so it now records the connection that claims it rather than
splitting each frame between coexisting BLE and serial clients. Panel
dimensions come from LVGL at registration instead of growing as a running
max of rect extents, which contradicted both the wire contract and
DeviceMetadata. And on overflow the backlog is dropped and a repaint
requested immediately, because dropping only the newest rect wedged the
pool until the queue drained and thrashed the resync — the reason a fresh
arm often never delivered a full frame.
Also: notify only on the empty-to-non-empty transition rather than per
LVGL flush, log a failed pool allocation, keep PSRAM out of the internal
memaudit budget, and enable device-ui injection explicitly at setup.
The previous commit swept in two working-tree files that exist only to
build the MUI mirror against a local device-ui checkout: a
symlink:// lib_deps pointing at a path on one machine, and the
MESHTASTIC_MUI_MIRROR define on t-deck-tft. Neither resolves anywhere
else, so t-deck-tft could not build. Restores the pinned device-ui
archive and the stock variant flags.
setMirror cleared muiOwner outside any guard, so every board without a
TFT failed to compile — the member only exists on the MUI path. The
assignment was redundant anyway: freeSnapshotLocked() releases the pool
and the ownership claim together.
The guards were also drawn on HAS_TFT while the code they protect needs
a device-ui carrying the flush observer, so a color build that never
opts in still carried the rect queue in .bss. Replaces the ad-hoc
HAS_SCREEN_MIRROR && defined(MESHTASTIC_MUI_MIRROR) pairs with a single
derived HAS_MUI_MIRROR next to HAS_SCREEN_MIRROR, and gates the queue,
the pool, the input seam and their declarations on it.
Verified on all three build shapes: t-deck-tft with the opt-in,
picomputer-s3 (TFT, opted out) and heltec-v3 (no TFT).
configuration.h defaults USE_TFTDISPLAY to 0 with #ifndef, so it is
always defined and `defined(USE_TFTDISPLAY)` is always true — every
board with a screen reported panel_class TFT, plain OLEDs included.
Value-test it, as HAS_TOUCHSCREEN already is a few lines below.
That also brings the conditional under the repo's five-defined() lint
cap, which is what surfaced it.
device-ui moved the mirror out of its InputDriver and DisplayDriver base
classes into a DisplayMirror class, so the call sites move with it.
Mostly renames. The one behavioural change is where the mirror is armed:
DisplayMirror::start() runs after DeviceScreen::init() instead of
InputDriver::enableInjection() running before it, because device-ui no longer
needs an ordering flag to decide whether to build its virtual input devices.
All of this sits inside HAS_MUI_MIRROR, which no committed configuration
defines, so no build changes.
device-ui now renders straight into RGB565_SWAPPED and hands direct-mode
rects inside the whole frame, so the observer reports a stride and
DisplayMirror::pixelsByteSwapped(). The copy honours both, keeping the wire
little-endian RGB565 and tightly packed.
The mirror verbs are handled in PhoneAPI, beside lockdown_auth, so each
connection holds its own subscription or one-frame request. Frames go only to
the clients that asked, ScreenMirror captures while any are waiting and frees
its buffers when none are, and AdminModule refuses the verbs from a remote
node with NOT_AUTHORIZED instead of a silent success.
A request now kicks the screen thread and captures the last committed frame
while the panel is off (not while lockdown redacts it). TFTDisplay hands the
palette its defaults in panel byte order like HUB75, and the theme defaults
are part of the palette signature so a recolor alone produces a new frame.
has_display follows HAS_SCREEN_MIRROR, the mirror's memory has its own
memaudit tag, and the MUI pool's PSRAM accounting is symmetric.
Also caps the beacon message by its array size: the protobufs pin carries
the shorter broadcast_message.
A touch long-press now asks DisplayMirror to hold past the virtual pointer's
own threshold instead of a fixed 600 ms, which fell short of the 700 ms the
touch driver uses. SELECT_LONG, which had no MUI mapping and was dropped,
becomes a long-pressed LV_KEY_ENTER.
The per-connection subscription and drain cursors move to a file-scope slot
table keyed by PhoneAPI*, like the auth slots, so nRF52 keeps its PhoneAPI
layout. A capture failure latches instead of zeroing counts each connection
still holds, and close() releases the mirror even before config starts.
Trackball semantics turned LEFT/RIGHT into LV_KEY_DOWN/UP and UP/DOWN
into encoder steps, so LVGL never saw a left or right key. device-ui now
runs mirrored keys through its input policy, which decides focus
traversal per context like a physical D-pad.
A fixed 192 KB pool cannot hold a full repaint of a panel larger than
320x240, so the overflow path dropped the backlog and requested another
full refresh forever: a 480x480 panel streamed nonstop with its top band
never arriving. The pool now holds a full repaint plus a quarter screen,
with 192 KB as the floor.

1413-1417: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor | 💤 Low value
The mono metadata branch checks positive width but not positive height, so it can advertise has_display and a zero-height DisplayInfo that onRendered cannot capture.
Clients are told mirroring is available with unusable dimensions, then receive no corresponding frame.
This can occur when: getDeviceMetadata runs while a screen device reports a configured width but height zero.

Update the mono metadata branch in getDeviceMetadata to require both positive
width and positive height before setting has_display or populating display
dimensions. Preserve the existing behavior for valid display dimensions.
A capture failure latched until every client left, and a pending frame request on the failed connection blocked its own retries. Subscribing, requesting, or re-requesting a frame now clears the latch and captures again.
The rect pool only reclaimed space once fully drained, so a client that kept draining saw it fill as a running total and forced repeated full repaints. Rects now wrap to the start of the pool when the head has moved on.
