An optional RFB 3.8 server in the iris binary (--vnc [ADDR], [vnc] listen), for every board, windowed or under --ci. It reads only the frame each board has already composed and finds damage by diffing 64x64 tiles, so no drawing code is touched. Raw and ZRLE, DesktopSize and the QEMU extended key event; no authentication, loopback by default. While a viewer is connected Newport uses the software compositor.

The guest mouse is relative and X accelerates it, so pointer moves are steered in a closed loop on each board's hardware cursor (VC2, VC1, VC3, GBE), with hotspots learned by pinning the pointer in a corner.

The same machinery backs new monitor commands (screen, ptr, key) and MCP tools (screenshot, click, drag, type_text, press_key, wait_screen), and iris-ci screenshot now works on every board.

Also:

• ip22: a read from an empty GIO slot is a bus error once the PROM sets CPUCTRL1.ABORT_EN, so the PROM no longer takes it for a Newport and polls it 200,000 times on headless boots.
• o2: the GBE cursor position is 12-bit signed; the cursor no longer vanishes at the top and left edges.
