Within an active Phase 3C gateway session, `input.sequenced.v1` and the
bidirectional reliable `control.ack.v1` payloads additionally use the exact

Those grammars do not alter this datagram header or make provider traffic visible to

# Gateway clipboard text v1
`clipboard.text.v1` is a reliable, authenticated gateway-only `ChannelFrame`
flow. Its UTF-8 JSON payload is a `GatewayClipboardText` object:
```json
{"direction":"client_to_provider","text":"text","encoding":"utf-8","loop_token":"base64url-token"}
```
`direction` is exact: the client may send only `client_to_provider`, and the
gateway may send only `provider_to_client`. The text contains no file name,
URL, binary value, or client-folder field and is at most the Server-owned
`clipboard_policy.max_text_bytes` value. `loop_token` is a 16--128 ASCII
base64url-character token generated by the originating endpoint. An endpoint MUST retain
recent token/value pairs only for the bounded policy window and MUST suppress a
matching reflected value; a mismatched, malformed, expired, or replayed token
is rejected without clipboard mutation.
The gateway receives the policy only in authenticated session work. A disabled
direction, a rate above `max_updates_per_minute`, invalid UTF-8, an oversized
payload, or an unknown field fails closed. Clipboard bytes are never emitted to
provider-state, audit, telemetry, or error payloads.
For every accepted, loop-suppressed, or policy/rate/provider/malformed rejection,
the gateway sends an mTLS control-plane `GatewayClipboardAudit` record. It contains
only the session identifier, direction, bounded text-byte count, outcome, and a
fixed reason code; it contains neither text nor loop token. The Server persists it
against the broker session using the authenticated gateway identity.

# Gateway input and feedback v1
This grammar is carried only in an authenticated Phase 3C gateway session. It
is deliberately provider-neutral: it never carries provider routes,
certificates, credentials, opaque provider packets, clipboard bytes, files, or
client-folder data. It does not change the v1 datagram header or any existing
release candidate.
## `input.sequenced.v1` payload (`VGI1`)
All multibyte fields are unsigned big-endian. The payload has exactly six bytes
of header followed by the declared body:
| Offset | Size | Field | Rule |
|---:|---:|---|---|
| 0 | 4 | magic | ASCII `VGI1` |
| 4 | 1 | kind | one of the kinds below |
| 5 | 1 | payload length | exact body byte count |
| 6 | N | body | exact kind-specific body |
The decoder rejects an unknown kind, non-exact length, nonzero reserved byte,
unsupported controller index, malformed UTF-8, a non-scalar UTF-8 value, or a
payload larger than the channel limit before provider translation. A false
keyboard or mouse state and a zeroed controller state are explicit releases;
they are retained by the gateway and replayed as individual provider releases
during cleanup.
| Kind | Name | Exact body |
|---:|---|---|
| `0x01` | keyboard | `state` (`0` release, `1` press), `modifiers` (one byte), nonzero `scancode` (u16). |
| `0x02` | mouse button | `state` (`0` release, `1` press), `button` (`1` through `5`), reserved `0`. |
| `0x03` | relative mouse | `delta_x` (i16), `delta_y` (i16). |
| `0x04` | UTF-8 scalar | exactly one valid UTF-8 Unicode scalar, one through four bytes. |
| `0x05` | controller state | `controller` (0 through 15), `active_mask` (u16), `button_flags` (u16), `left_trigger` (u8), `right_trigger` (u8), `left_x` (i16), `left_y` (i16), `right_x` (i16), `right_y` (i16), `extra_button_flags` (u16). A zero `active_mask` and zero state is release. |
Keyboard, mouse button, UTF-8, and controller messages are delivered over the
gateway's reliable ordered input flow. Relative mouse is a state change, not a
pressed-state entry. The gateway maps the validated values to the provider's
separate keyboard, mouse, UTF-8, and controller control messages; it does not
forward this envelope to the provider.
## Reliable control payload (`VGF1`)
`control.ack.v1` remains the existing authenticated bidirectional reliable
control flow. Within an active gateway session, its provider-feedback payload
is the following exact envelope:
| Offset | Size | Field | Rule |
|---:|---:|---|---|
| 0 | 4 | magic | ASCII `VGF1` |
| 4 | 1 | direction | `0` client-to-gateway; `1` gateway-to-client |
| 5 | 1 | type | valid only for the stated direction |
| 6 | 2 | payload length | exact payload byte count |
| 8 | N | payload | exact type-specific body |
The client-to-gateway types are `0x01` IDR request (empty) and `0x02` FEC
status: `frame_index` (u32), `highest_received_sequence` (u16),
`next_contiguous_sequence` (u16), `missing_before_highest` (u16),
`total_data_packets` (u16), `total_parity_packets` (u16),
`received_data_packets` (u16), `received_parity_packets` (u16),
`fec_percentage` (u8), `multi_fec_block_index` (u8), and
`multi_fec_block_count` (u8). The gateway maps this fixed 21-byte structure to
the provider's unsequenced ENet FEC delivery; it does not put it on the reliable
provider input path.
The gateway-to-client types are `0x10` host termination (`exit_code` u32),
`0x11` rumble (`controller` u8, `low_frequency` u16,
`high_frequency` u16), and `0x12` HDR mode (`enabled` exactly `0` or `1`). The
gateway derives these from authenticated provider control messages, normalizes
their bounded fields, and rejects all unrecognized provider feedback. The HDR
envelope intentionally carries only the negotiated mode; provider-specific HDR
metadata remains behind the gateway boundary.
Apollo's pinned `src/stream.cpp` source defines separate termination, rumble,
and HDR control structures, while Moonlight common-C's `ControlStream.c` and
`InputStream.c` separate reliable input/control from UDP media. This Verse
grammar is a new normalized contract; it does not copy either implementation or
expose its wire format.
