enricobuehlerandClaude Opus 4.8 84329205eb feat(encode): default-on the Linux Vulkan Video HEVC backend ...

On-glass validated 2026-07-12 on an AMD RADV 780M with a real Deck-class
client: the pipelined raw-Vulkan HEVC encoder ran a rock-solid 1080p@240
session and healed loss with clean P-frame recovery anchors (real RFI the
libav VAAPI path can't express). Ship it on by default, mirroring the NVENC
default-on.

- vulkan_encode_enabled() defaults ON; PUNKTFUNK_VULKAN_ENCODE=0 is the libav
  VAAPI escape hatch. A failed open still falls back to VAAPI, so a device
  without h265 Vulkan encode (or an untested Intel/ANV that misbehaves at open)
  degrades gracefully instead of breaking the stream.
- Ring depth defaults to 2 (one frame of overlap, lowest added latency — the
  on-glass-validated real-time setting); PUNKTFUNK_VULKAN_INFLIGHT still tunes it.
- Compile --features punktfunk-host/vulkan-encode into the arch/deb/rpm host
  builds (pure-Rust ash, no new lib / no link-time dep), alongside nvenc.
