enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 efac33fd33 feat(host/audio): the virtual mic buffers for the client it has, not the worst one ever ...

The mic pump grows a real de-jitter (audio/mic_jitter.rs): a two-frame
reorder window in front of the decoder, libopus concealment on sequence
gaps (up to 5 frames — a lost datagram no longer drains the ring into a
silence + re-prime crackle), and an adaptive target depth measured from
inter-arrival jitter, clamped to 10–60 ms. Both backend rings now prime
at one consumer quantum + that target: the old bursty Mac client still
measures ~42 ms and lands where the fixed 48 ms prime protected it, a
modern 10 ms-cadence client settles at ~25–35 ms, and a 2048-frame
recorder on Linux stops buying 128 ms of latency from the 3-quanta
clamp. Depth stuck above target sheds near-silent frames a few ms per
100 ms — never speech, never a hard clear.

PUNKTFUNK_MIC_LEGACY_BUFFER=1 (documented) is the one-release escape
hatch back to the fixed constants, and a "mic uplink health" line every
30 s (depth/target, cadence, gaps, conceals, reorders, drops, re-primes)
finally says which side of the link a bad mic lives on.
