enricobuehler 2718b7d4bd chore(deps): mdns-sd 0.20 -> 0.21 and if-addrs 0.13 -> 0.15, together
One commit because splitting them accomplishes nothing: mdns-sd 0.20 ALREADY
depends on if-addrs 0.15, so while our own five crates declared 0.13 the tree
carried both copies no matter which of the two moved first. Moving them together
is what collapses it:

    $ cargo tree -d | grep '^if-addrs'
    (no output)

Neither needed a source change. mdns-sd 0.21's public API is purely additive
over 0.20.3 — the sole new item is `ServiceDaemon::set_max_packet_size`, and
`ServiceInfo`'s surface is byte-identical — so `ServiceDaemon`/`ServiceInfo`/
`ServiceEvent`/`ResolvedService` behave as before at all six call sites
(host discovery + gamestream mdns, pf-client-core, and the Android, Windows and
probe clients). if-addrs 0.15 keeps 0.13's `Interface`/`IfAddr` shape, and we
only ever read those.

The one real change is a FEATURE, not a version. if-addrs has `link-local`, and
mdns-sd declares if-addrs with it on. Once our crates share that single copy,
unification turns it on for our calls too — meaning `get_if_addrs()` now also
reports fe80:: interfaces (and, on Windows, 169.254.x.x). Rather than inherit
that silently, punktfunk-core and punktfunk-host now NAME the feature. Two
reasons: it is what every real build gets anyway, so a standalone `cargo test -p
punktfunk-core` should not enumerate a different set of NICs than the host does;
and for the consumer here — Wake-on-LAN — it is the behaviour we want, since a
NIC is wake-capable whether or not it currently holds a routable address.

Verified on CachyOS (rustc 1.96.0):
  cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --locked -- -D warnings   OK
  cargo test --workspace --locked                                  OK, 0 failed
  cargo test -p punktfunk-host --bins --locked      501 passed, 0 failed, 2 ignored
  cargo test ... gamestream::cert                   3 passed
  cargo fmt --all --check                           clean

(One `cargo test --workspace` attempt failed with E0463 "can't find crate for
pf_frame" in a doc-test. That is the target dir having only clippy's .rmeta for
a crate a doc-test wants to LINK, not anything in this change; a plain re-run
after cargo test built the rlibs was green.)

punktfunk — probe (reference client)

punktfunk-probe is the headless reference client for the punktfunk/1 protocol — a command-line tool for testing, latency measurement, and validating host behavior. It's not a streaming app you'd watch on; it connects, exercises a plane, and reports numbers. If you want to actually stream, use the Linux, Windows, Apple, or Android clients.

Because it links the same punktfunk-core as every other client, it's also the canonical example of driving the protocol end to end: QUIC control plane, UDP data plane, and the side planes (input, audio, rumble) over QUIC datagrams.

What it does

  • Receives a real stream, writes a playable elementary stream (.h265/.h264/.av1 — the extension tracks the negotiated codec; the probe advertises all three and the host picks), and reports per-frame capture→received latency percentiles (the host stamps each frame with its capture clock).
  • Verification mode against a synthetic host — byte-checks deterministic test frames.
  • Exercises every plane with scripted test traffic: --input-test (mouse/keyboard), --mic-test (a 440 Hz Opus tone up to the host mic), --touch-test (a synthetic finger), --rich-input-test (DualSense touchpad + motion, logging the HID-output feedback that comes back).
  • Trust--pin <64-hex> pins the host fingerprint; --pair <PIN> runs the SPAKE2 pairing ceremony and prints the verified fingerprint to pin from then on. Without a pin it trusts on first use.
  • Discovery--discover [secs] browses the LAN for _punktfunk._udp hosts and prints each (name, addr:port, pairing requirement, cert fingerprint), then exits.
  • Negotiation knobs--mode WxHxFPS, --remode (mid-stream mode change), --bitrate, --codec auto|h264|hevc|av1 (preference; the host resolves), --audio-channels (stereo / 5.1 / 7.1), --compositor, --gamepad, --launch, --speed-test. Env: PUNKTFUNK_CLIENT_10BIT=1 / PUNKTFUNK_CLIENT_444=1 advertise the 10-bit / 4:4:4 client caps (for testing a host's PUNKTFUNK_10BIT/PUNKTFUNK_444).

Usage

# stream 720p120 from a host, save the video, and print latency percentiles:
cargo run -p punktfunk-probe -- --mode 1280x720x120 --connect HOST:PORT --out /tmp/a.h265

# list hosts on the LAN:
cargo run -p punktfunk-probe -- --discover

# pair with a host that requires it (read the PIN off the host), then stream:
cargo run -p punktfunk-probe -- --connect HOST:PORT --pair 1234
cargo run -p punktfunk-probe -- --connect HOST:PORT --pin <64-hex> --input-test
