Nova’s README now tells the full product story: a console-style library, Play Setup, streaming options, Command Center, session controls, stream reports and Polaris integration. It keeps distinct screenshots and adds a Polaris companion section instead of another theme variation. Detailed setup stays in documentation.

Linux/Steam Deck and Steam Frame are labeled Beta across the current guides and roadmap. Existing compatibility filenames and managed Steam identity remain unchanged. The only built-file change is the Flatpak AppStream description’s “This Alpha targets” → “This Beta targets”; runtime code and version pins are unchanged from the qualified product source.

Private CI2287 passed on 4c2cf6d. Android unit/build checks and the Linux standard (170 passes, one named skip) and Release codec-on (184 passes, three named skips) results carry from the original execution. A failed-jobs-only retry completed the interrupted Flatpak job and summary; the retained bundle’s checksums, source and embedded Beta metadata were read back. These are variant counts, not a unique total. Current public checks still gate integration; this PR does not publish a tag or release.

…case

Tell the whole Nova story for newcomers instead of the newest release:
a console-style library, Play Setup before launch, codecs, HDR and high
refresh where supported, Command Center, session ownership and Watch,
local stream reports, Polaris integration, and Android profile rules.

Drop the repeated game page in the Director theme, the release theme
promotion and the one-scene SGSR anecdote; keep the game page hero and the
distinct Play Setup view with captions and a one-line theme mention. Scope
Android-only and Polaris-version features, keep the Linux and Steam Deck
alpha and Steam Frame experimental labels, downloads, update paths, minimum
Android version, acknowledgments, transparency and license. No media bytes
changed.
