feat(connector): expose host clock offset over the C ABI for glass-to-glass
ci / rust (push) Has been cancelled
ci / rust (push) Has been cancelled
Factor the client-side skew handshake into a shared core helper (quic::clock_sync -> ClockSkew) so both the reference client and the embeddable connector use one implementation. NativeClient now runs the handshake at connect (right after Start, before the control task takes the stream) and stores the host-client offset; it's read over the C ABI via punktfunk_connection_clock_offset_ns (i64 ns, host minus client; 0 = no correction / old host). This is the substrate the Apple client needs for the decode->present (glass-to- glass) term: stamp present time, add the offset to express it in the host's capture clock, subtract the AU pts_ns. client-rs drops its local clock_sync copy and uses the shared helper (behavior unchanged; validated locally). Regenerates include/punktfunk_core.h. Roadmap section 12 + status updated. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
