jessey 934b489fec feat(gui): Run Diagnostic flow on the Games page — 0.12.0 
Brings the guided diagnostic (0.11.0 core/CLI) into the GUI:
- Each game row gets a "Run Diagnostic" button → starts a focused, game-tagged
  capture and shows a recording banner (live sample count + GPU-lost indicator)
  with Finish & analyze / Discard.
- Finishing runs core.diagnostic.finish() off the UI thread and opens a results
  dialog (gui/diagnostic_dialog.py): window-scoped capture summary + findings
  cards (reusing render_summary + finding_card).
- Banner restores on showEvent if a capture is still running (navigate away/back).

RigDoctor — Roadmap (DRAFT v0.2)

Phased so the seed use case (capturing the RTX 3070 crash / black-screen events) is solved early, before the broader "tool for all Linux gamers" work. Stack: Python 3 + Qt/PySide6; Ubuntu + NVIDIA first; .deb distribution (see DECISIONS.md).

Phase 0 — Workspace & spec (done)

  • Create repo + docs scaffold
  • Settle the foundational decisions D1–D11 (name, language, platform/GPU priority, MVP scope, trigger model, packaging, scope-of-action, GUI/tray)
  • Lock the MVP scope (M1 + M3 + M4, NVIDIA-only)

Phase 1 — MVP: capture this crash (Essential bundle, NVIDIA-only, CLI)

  • M1 sensor core (NVIDIA via nvidia-smi + hwmon for CPU/RAM/NVMe), stdlib-only
  • M3 crash-capture logger (JSONL, fsync per sample, GPU-lost detection, size rotation)
  • Manual trigger mode (rigdoctor record run/start/stop/status); systemd --user service + other trigger modes in Phase 4 (run is already the service entrypoint)
  • M4 health report (Xid/panic/OOM/MCE/AER/thermal scan + SMART + driver-mismatch + journald-persistence + live temps, suggested fixes only — D9; GPU-firmware verify deferred)
  • record report post-crash summary (peak temps/power per subsystem, events, last N samples)
  • Exit criteria: user can run it during gaming and, after a freeze/black-screen, see the last readings + a plausible cause.

Phase 2 — Live monitor (terminal)

  • M2 TUI dashboard (current/min/max, grouped, throttle highlighting)
  • M8 basic alerting (overheat/throttle/GPU-lost notifications)

Phase 3 — Diagnostics breadth

  • M5 system inventory + exportable report
  • [~] M6 gaming environment checks (suggest-only) — Steam game/library detection done (multi-library libraryfolders.vdf discovery + appmanifest scan, opt-in libraries, launch-time background rescan with new-game badge; CLI rigdoctor games, GUI Games page). This is also the D12 "pick a game" foundation. Env-check engine done (rigdoctor gameenv + GUI Environment page): PCIe ASPM, NVIDIA persistence, CPU governor, GameMode, MangoHud, swappiness, shader cache, THP, mitigations, Proton versions — read-only with fix commands. Pending: non-Steam launchers (Lutris/Heroic) + GPU power-profile (PowerMizer) checks.
  • SMART integration (smartmontools if present)

Phase 4 — Desktop UI & installer

  • M10 desktop GUI (PySide6: dashboard, log browser, report viewer, logger controls)
  • M11 tray / menu-bar applet (QSystemTrayIcon: live M1 readouts + Run Diagnostic + supporting actions — D13)
  • [~] Guided diagnostic session (pick game → focused M3 capture → M4 scan → findings), shared by tray/GUI/CLI — core + CLI + GUI done (core/diagnostic.py, rigdoctor diagnose start/status/finish, and a Run Diagnostic button per game on the GUI Games page → recording banner → results dialog with the capture summary + findings). Tags a focused capture with the chosen game (own diagnostic log, window-scoped report) and combines the capture summary with the M4 findings. Pending: the tray (M11) entry point, and auto start/stop via the D12 wrapper/watcher.
  • Logger trigger modes: always-on + game-launch (D12 — wrapper first: rigdoctor wrap %command% + global Steam compat-tool; zero-config watcher (Steam RunningAppID + /proc) and GameMode hook follow)
  • [~] M9 interactive installer — done: distro/GPU detection + optional-dependency install (rigdoctor install, GUI Setup tab); user-local install.sh + self-extracting .run (no-root venv install, handles python3-venv prereq, CI-built). Pending: module-selection config + systemd --user service enable + trigger-mode pick.
  • .deb packaging (D8) declaring per-bundle deps incl. python3-pyside6 for Desktop UI

Phase 5 — Breadth (later)

  • AMD GPU support in M1 (Steam Deck / Radeon)
  • Intel GPU best-effort
  • M13 auto-update (D18) — launch-time version check (GUI sidebar) + no-root self-update apply (rigdoctor update / sidebar button → authenticated pip upgrade), token-gated. Restart-after-update is manual for now.
  • [~] Optional auto-apply of suggested fixes behind explicit consent (D9 milestone) — first cut shipped for M6 (D22): one-click apply of runtime-reversible tunables (CPU governor, NVIDIA persistence, PCIe ASPM, swappiness, THP) via a single pkexec prompt, no reboot. GRUB-based fixes + CPU mitigations remain suggestion-only.

Phase 6 — Session sharing / remote assist (M12, D16)

Escalating ladder, built in order:

  • Tier 1: share export — diagnostic bundle (inventory + recent log + report); B opens it in RigDoctor. One-way, safest.
  • Tier 2: live read-only view — rigdoctor share serve (stdlib HTTP, token-gated: sensors + health + inventory). Remote = user-chosen tunnel; GUI controls still to add.
  • Tier 3: host-consented interactive terminal — a real PTY shell shared over the relay (own pty, pyte-rendered guest), off by default; host reads along + can type (sudo).

Out of scope: stress/repro module (D7); multi-distro support and packaging beyond Ubuntu/apt + .deb (D15) — a thin seam is kept but not built out.

Dropped: stress / repro module (D7) — not on the roadmap.
