Wtf does this do

EnhancedGV is a plugin for Steam Deck and SteamOS that adds the kind of information you would normally only see on a game's Steam store page, such as trailers, screenshots, description, reviews, and update history, directly onto that game's page inside your own library. It installs through Decky Loader, the standard plugin system for the Steam Deck, and it places all of this content below the header and Play button so it never gets in the way of actually launching your game. It also works for non Steam games, like ones added from other launchers, by automatically matching them to the closest Steam store page it can find. Once installed, opening any game shows a review score summary and Steam Deck compatibility badge at the top, followed by collapsible sections for media, a full game description, details like genre and developer, the official Steam Deck compatibility report, community reviews with filters, and recent patch notes. Every section can be turned on or off, and you can choose whether each one starts open or collapsed, all from the plugin's own Quick Access panel. Everything is designed to be navigated with a controller. Behind the scenes, the plugin reads store and review data straight from Steam's own public web services, does not require any API key, and caches what it fetches on your device so it does not repeatedly hit Steam's servers. Any game matches it makes for non Steam titles are stored only on your own device. The author specifically designed it to avoid touching Steam's own interface code directly, so it should not conflict with other library plugins running at the same time. Installing it is done either by downloading a ready made release file through Decky's developer mode, or by building it yourself from source, which requires Node.js 18 or newer and Python 3. The project ships prebuilt release files automatically whenever a new version is tagged.
