Upstream scout, 2026-10-29

All targets, window from 2026-10-28 11:14 UTC. 380 API calls during collection, no errors. One Windows run.

• nvgfx: NullMoth v2.6.4 changes only the translator. It lowers sampler arrays, and texture array elements now read their own texture. Most of what our fork carries on 2.6.2 shipped upstream in 2.6.3, so the next rebase goes straight onto 2.6.4. What stays ours: the PSO skip, the sampler-variant memo, the NVRM power work and the NVRMFB proxy head. Write-up: nvgfx.
• xe: zep245's IrisXe-macos-driver 1.0.1 found the same cause for the Tahoe yellow icons as we did. It also fixed linked visible functions that inherited the caller's function constants. Our Metal plugin merges them the same way (nvmtl_link_stage), so we carry the same latent bug. Write-up: xe.
• mt7925-wifi-native: RTL8814Native mapped most of what a driver must provide for AWDL: the capability bit, the virtual interface payload, the registration that wifip2pd waits for, and what the kernel peer manager does itself. It is the best reference so far for wifi-native #2. It is GPL, so we use it for ideas only. Write-up: mt7925-wifi-native.
• mt7925-wifi / mt7925-bt: an HP Omen 16 user confirmed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on 26.7.2 with MtkWlanNative 0.4.14, LegionBtFix 0.3.0 and MtkBt 0.2.4 (#4, now closed). Their guide credits and links our repos. It has two stale lines and a possible country code question. Write-ups: mt7925-wifi, mt7925-bt.

• steelbrain/metal2vulkan bounds the wait for a pipeline that is still compiling and drops its draws instead of tripping the WindowServer watchdog. That is an idea for our watchdog cases.
• NullMoth #449 (non-constant sampler array index), #452 (Safari WebGL context lost) and #445 (present on its own queue).
• 1401 #69: a Legion non-monotonic time panic, closed with CpuTscSync 1.1.2. We already load it.
• Arxusion/AirportMtkWlan carries the MT7921/MT7922 line onto Tahoe (v1.5.1). Our comparison table was redated.
• VoodooI2C PR #587 (secondary click). It only affects clickpads that report a second button.

• Closed: mt7925-hackintosh-wifi #4.
• Still waiting on the reporters: 1401 #64, 1401 #110 and ArrowWhatever #1.
• No logs to ingest this run.

• XeGfx: d6d34e2 credits IrisXe 1.0.1.
• mt7925-hackintosh-wifi: d63692a adds the Arxusion line to the comparison table and redates it.
• mt7925-hackintosh-wifi-native: 734b22a adds the HP Omen 16 confirmation, and 72af4c8 adds the RTL8814Native AWDL notes to the credits.
