enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 4.8 04e4394ee0 fix(encode): close the two teardown memory-safety holes in the reset paths
Both surfaced in a post-refactor quality sweep of pf-encode and were then
verified against the source (and, for pyrowave, against the C side).

- PyroWave (BOTH platforms): `reset()` destroyed the encoder and, when the
  rebuild failed, returned `false` leaving `pw_enc` pointing at the freed
  object — `Drop` then destroyed it a second time. `pyrowave_encoder_destroy`
  is a plain `delete` (pyrowave_c.cpp:1184, which also reads `encoder->device`
  afterwards) with no null check, so this is a real double free. The failure
  branch is not vacuous: the rebuild fails when the device is lost/OOM, which
  is exactly the state that makes the stall watchdog call `reset()` in the
  first place, so the host corrupts its heap on the path that runs when things
  are already going wrong. Now nulls `pw_enc` before the fallible create,
  publishes only on success, and null-guards both `Drop` and `encode_frame`
  (the Windows `Drop` already guarded `sync` this way).

- QSV: `reset()` dropped `pending` — each entry owning the `Box<BsBuf>` the
  runtime writes into asynchronously — BEFORE `MFXVideoENCODE_Close` aborted
  those operations, so the VPL runtime could write into freed heap. The
  preceding drain is best-effort and bails on the first `Err`, i.e. precisely
  the wedged-encoder case that triggers the reset. Fixed by ordering: Close,
  then clear. The full-teardown path was already correct (`Inner` declares
  `session` before `pending`, and fields drop in declaration order).
