Inline comments:
In `@docs/source/reference/package-apis/drivers/nanokvm-usb.md`:
- Around line 55-57: Update the configuration table near video_fps to document
the supported video_format, video_jpeg_quality, video_discard_stale, and
video_stream_buffer_size fields, including their types, whether they are
required, and defaults consistent with NanoKVMUSB.
In
`@python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-nanokvm-usb/jumpstarter_driver_nanokvm_usb/client.py`:
- Line 94: Update the decoding logic around decoded_text to replace only the
documented CLI escape sequences \n and \t, preserving all other input literally;
do not use unicode_escape or decode unsupported sequences such as \b and \x41.
In
`@python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-nanokvm-usb/jumpstarter_driver_nanokvm_usb/device.py`:
- Around line 68-79: Update connect() to wrap the serial open, get_info(), and
optional _video.open() setup in try/except; call close() in the exception
handler before re-raising the original exception, ensuring failed connection
setup releases all resources.
In
`@python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-nanokvm-usb/jumpstarter_driver_nanokvm_usb/driver.py`:
- Line 146: Update the logging in paste_text to avoid including the pasted HID
text; log only the character count or a generic completion message while
preserving the paste behavior.
- Around line 201-207: Update the string-button handling in the mouse click
method to resolve every supported MouseButton name, including “back” and
“forward”, and raise ValueError for unknown names instead of defaulting to
MouseButton.LEFT. Preserve direct MouseButton inputs and ensure unsupported
names never trigger a click.
- Line 67: Update the cleanup handler around NanoKVMUSBDevice.close so
synchronous cleanup methods are invoked directly rather than through
anyio.from_thread.run. Apply the same change to both cleanup calls, preserving
their existing order and error-handling behavior.
In
`@python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-nanokvm-usb/jumpstarter_driver_nanokvm_usb/keyboard.py`:
- Around line 275-277: Remove ASCII values 91, 92, and 93 from SHIFT_CHARS so
unshifted [, \, and ] remain unshifted while their shifted forms continue to
work. Add regression coverage for all six bracket and backslash characters,
including both unshifted and shifted variants.
In
`@python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-nanokvm-usb/jumpstarter_driver_nanokvm_usb/v4l2_ctl_mjpeg.py`:
- Around line 26-28: Update the JPEG parsing logic around the start-marker
search so a trailing 0xFF is retained in buffer when no complete SOI marker is
found, allowing a following chunk beginning with 0xD8 to form b"\xff\xd8". Add a
test covering an SOI marker split across two reads while preserving existing
buffer handling for other incomplete chunks.
In
`@python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-nanokvm-usb/jumpstarter_driver_nanokvm_usb/v4l2_mjpeg.py`:
- Line 181: Update the capture initialization flow after os.open in v4l2_mjpeg
so any failure before the existing close path cleans up all mmap objects created
during initialization and closes fd before re-raising the original exception.
Keep normal successful initialization and existing cleanup behavior unchanged.
- Line 176: Configure the camera capture interval to the requested fps in the
v4l2_mjpeg backend’s open method using V4L2 VIDIOC_S_PARM, and add the
corresponding --set-parm=<fps> option to the v4l2_ctl_mjpeg backend. Apply the
configuration in both MJPEG passthrough backends so capture is limited to
video_fps before exported-stream throttling.
In `@python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-nanokvm-usb/README.md`:
- Line 71: Keep the screen_width and screen_height configuration entries inside
the Markdown table by moving the v4l-utils passthrough requirement below those
rows. Preserve the existing configuration values and requirement text.
In `@python/pyproject.toml`:
- Line 31: Reorder the jumpstarter-driver-nanokvm-usb source mapping to appear
before jumpstarter-driver-netsim, preserving the existing workspace dependency
declarations and alphabetical ordering.

just a few nits mostly, looks great.
Apply CodeRabbit and maintainer feedback: connect rollback, sync close, v4l2 init cleanup, logging, keyboard/CLI/mouse fixes, v4l2_ctl path, Sphinx config table and by-path example, README points to docs.

- Around line 62-63: Update the executable resolution in
V4L2CtlMjpegCapture.open so a configured v4l2_ctl_executable is validated and
resolved with shutil.which before the reader thread starts, while preserving
valid absolute paths and PATH-based executables. Raise or propagate the
resolution failure synchronously so VideoCapture.open can catch it and select
the direct-V4L2/OpenCV fallback; keep _reader_loop unchanged.

Summary
Adds jumpstarter-driver-nanokvm-usb, a Jumpstarter driver for NanoKVM-USB devices attached to the exporter host over USB. It provides live UVC video streaming and keyboard/mouse HID control over a USB serial link, without requiring network access to the KVM.
What's included
New package: python/packages/jumpstarter-driver-nanokvm-usb/
Composite driver (NanoKVMUSB) with two children:
video — UVC capture (snapshots + live JPEG stream via @exportstream)
hid — keyboard/mouse over USB serial (paste, key press, mouse move/click/scroll)
MJPEG passthrough from UVC (V4L2 mmap + v4l2-ctl fallback) to avoid re-encoding every frame
Stream tuning options: video_fps (0 = no artificial sleep), video_discard_stale, video_stream_buffer_size
Sphinx docs: docs/source/reference/package-apis/drivers/nanokvm-usb.md
Workspace registration in python/pyproject.toml and updated uv.lock
