The Go-Live broadcast looked badly choppy: video and scrolling stuttered while
the cursor stayed smooth. Root cause is TigerVNC: it only refreshes its
framebuffer while a VNC client is attached, but the broadcast reads that
framebuffer with x11grab (not as a VNC client). With no viewer attached the
captured screen idled at ~1.5 fps (measured 3/30 distinct frames); the cursor
looked smooth only because x11grab overlays the live cursor on every frame.
- Add a headless RFB keepalive (vnc-keepalive.ts) that stays connected for the
life of the stream and requests incremental framebuffer updates at the stream
framerate. SelfbotStreamer starts it on broadcast start and tears it down on
stop/self-end. Measured 3/30 -> 57/60 distinct frames at 60 fps. Fail-open;
authenticates with VNC_PASSWORD or the ~/.config/tigervnc/passwd file.
- Fix a resource leak: when the Go-Live ended on its own, only the active flag
was cleared, leaving the x11grab->nvenc ffmpeg running forever (pinning a CPU
core while no media was transmitted, with only the gateway TCP left and no UDP
media). The self-end path now tears down capture, keepalive and voice like
stop() does.
- Tests for both paths (self-end teardown; keepalive DES auth, port mapping,
password resolution). Add @types/bun so bun:test typechecks; document the
keepalive and recommended Chrome flags in README and .env.example.

End-to-end verified with a real burner token + voice channel: login OK, posts
to the text channel, joins voice, and Go-Live streams the host :1 desktop.
- selfbot.ts now captures the X display with the SYSTEM ffmpeg (reliable
x11grab) and pipes it into prepareStream, instead of relying on the lib's
bundled libav input devices (not portable). Capture process is killed on stop.
- package.json: trustedDependencies (node-av, @lng2004/node-datachannel) so the
native streaming deps build automatically on bun install (incl. Docker).
- Dropped the unused nvenc path (the lib's exported `nvenc` is undefined at
runtime); software H264 encode for now.
get-token.ts now writes the Remote Auth URL as a 512x512 QR image
(/tmp/javis_qr.png, override via QR_OUT) in addition to printing the link, so
it can be sent to the user and scanned from a second screen with the Discord
mobile app. Adds the qrcode dependency.
- voice.ts: reply playback is now a FIFO queue (AudioPlayerStatus.Idle drains
it) so concurrent speakers no longer cut each other's replies off.
- selfbot.ts: rewritten against the REAL @dank074/discord-video-stream v6 API
(verified from its d.ts): prepareStream(input, opts, signal)->{command,output},
playStream(output, streamer, {type:"go-live"}, signal), Streamer.joinVoice.
x11grab via customInputOptions; optional NVENC encode (RTX 5050) via exported
`nvenc`. package.json pinned to ^6.0.0 (was a wrong ^4.2.1).
- Dockerfile: dropped the hardcoded python3.12 LD_LIBRARY_PATH. faster-whisper
>=1.1 self-locates the pip CUDA libs; ldconfig (full path, glob) registers
them as a robust fallback. Verified: ld.so cache lists libcublas/libcudnn and
GPU whisper works with LD_LIBRARY_PATH empty.
- bridge: STT resample 48k->16k upgraded from nearest-neighbor to linear
(np.interp).
Verified: tsc clean, image builds, GPU whisper OK via ldconfig, compose valid.
