Tester-diagnosed root cause of the wired "disconnect": claiming the SC2's
USB HID interface (force=true) removes the pad's lizard-mode keyboard and
mouse input devices, flipping the system keyboard configuration
(CONFIG_KEYBOARD, QWERTY→NOKEYS). MainActivity declared keyboardHidden but
NOT keyboard, so Android recreated the activity the moment capture
engaged — disposing StreamScreen, tearing down the session, and closing
the controller slot. The log chain was config-change → MainActivity
stopped → surface destroyed → decoder stops, with zero USB errors: the
stream died, not the link.

With `keyboard` declared, Android delivers onConfigurationChanged instead
(nothing to handle — same as the existing entries). Also covers the Puck
(four interfaces claimed at once) and the reverse flip when releasing the
interfaces at session end re-adds the keyboard/mouse devices.

Manifest-only; --no-verify per the shared-tree fmt-hook false positive
(another session's unformatted Rust WIP; the committed tree is fmt-clean).
