enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 2621b6e6b1 feat(core,host,android): Steam Controller 2 as-is passthrough to Linux hosts ...

The 2026 Steam Controller (Valve "Ibex" / SDL "Triton") captured on an
Android client is passed through AS-IS: the host presents a virtual pad
with the real wired identity (28DE:1302) and mirrors the physical pad's
raw HID reports, so Steam on the host drives it over hidraw exactly like
the real thing — trackpads, gyro, paddles, and its rumble/settings writes
flow back onto the physical controller. Protocol ground truth: SDL's
Valve-maintained SDL_hidapi_steam_triton.c + steam/controller_structs.h.

Core:
- GamepadPref::SteamController2 (wire byte 9; names steamcontroller2/
  sc2/ibex) + PUNKTFUNK_GAMEPAD_STEAMCONTROLLER2 in the C ABI.
- Raw HID planes: RichInput::HidReport (0xCC/0x04, client→host input
  reports verbatim, Copy fixed-64 body) and HidOutput::HidRaw (0xCD/0x05,
  host→client feature/output writes for replay). Best-effort is sound by
  the device protocol's own design (rumble re-sent every ~40 ms, settings
  every ~3 s — losses self-heal); HidRaw bypasses hidout dedup for
  exactly that reason.

Host (Linux):
- triton_proto.rs + steam_controller2.rs: Triton2Manager UHID backend —
  no kernel driver binds the PID (hidraw only; Steam Input is the
  consumer), raw mirroring with a typed-fallback 0x42 synthesizer until
  the first raw report, SET_REPORT ack + raw forward, canned GET_REPORT
  serial reply, rumble also parsed onto the universal 0xCA plane (phone
  mirror). Rides the uhid + 28DE-conflict degrades; UHID promotion by
  Steam is flagged in the creation log (usbip transport is the known
  follow-up if Steam ignores Interface:-1 devices for Triton too).

Android:
- Sc2UsbLink (wired/Puck: vendor-interface claim detaches the OS driver,
  interrupt read loop, lizard-off on the watchdog cadence, raw replay via
  interrupt-OUT / SET_REPORT with hidapi report-id framing) and Sc2BleLink
  (Valve vendor GATT service, notify subscribe machine, 0x45 re-framing,
  HIGH connection priority).
- Sc2Capture orchestrator: raw plane + typed mirror (exit chord + host
  degrade paths keep working) on a GamepadRouter external slot; raw
  return path via GamepadFeedback.onHidRaw.
- nativeSendPadHidReport JNI (direct ByteBuffer, no per-report copy),
  hidout raw decode, usb-host/BLUETOOTH_CONNECT manifest bits, opt-out
  settings toggle, StreamScreen engagement incl. the USB permission flow.

Verified: core 149 + host 312 tests green on Linux (.21), on-box uhid
smoke creates/mirrors/tears down the virtual 28DE:1302, C ABI harness
round-trips, Android compileDebugKotlin green. On-glass with the real
controller owed.
