    "Requires the official macOS Virtual Desktop installer for proprietary libraries and the user’s Virtual Desktop headset application. It is not a complete protocol reimplementation or an official vendor port.",
    "The build uses .NET 8. Linux runtime dependencies include GStreamer 1.16+, PulseAudio/PipeWire, X11 or an appropriate Wayland portal, OpenSSL 1.1 or 3 and uinput access; video-file playback additionally needs FFmpeg 7.",
    "Published testing used a simulated headset, mock portal and container networking. No real headset, real Wi-Fi or GPU encoder was available; internet matchmaking and same-address network changes were untested.",
    "The scroll fix was checked at device/libinput level without directly observing the receiving X11 app.",
    "MIT applies to this repository’s code only. Vendor libraries remain proprietary; the project limits redistribution of packages containing them and does not grant rights to the headset application."

    "需要官方 macOS Virtual Desktop 安装包中的专有库，以及用户自己的 Virtual Desktop 头显应用。它不是完整协议重实现，也不是厂商官方移植。",
    "构建使用 .NET 8。Linux运行依赖包括 GStreamer 1.16+、PulseAudio/PipeWire、X11或适用的 Wayland portal、OpenSSL 1.1 或 3及 uinput 访问权限；视频文件播放还需要 FFmpeg 7。",
    "公开测试使用模拟头显、模拟 portal 和容器网络。测试环境没有真实头显、真实 Wi-Fi 或 GPU 编码器；互联网配对和地址不变的网络切换未测试。",
    "滚动修复只检查到设备/libinput层，未直接观察接收事件的 X11 应用。",
    "MIT仅适用于本仓库代码。厂商库仍属专有软件；项目限制含这些库的软件包再分发，也不授予头显应用的权利。"
