While a pad drives a stream, GamepadCapture now sets EVERY element's
preferredSystemGestureState to .disabled (restored to .enabled on unbind).
iOS/macOS attach system gestures to several controller buttons — share/create
took a LOCAL screenshot instead of reaching the game, and only the Home
element was opted out before. With the gestures claimed, the already-wired
chains do their job: PS/Home → wire guide → BTN_MODE on the virtual xpad
(the Steam-overlay button) / the PS bit on the virtual DualSense.
Also fold the share/create/capture element (GCInputButtonShare) into the
back/select wire bit — clone pads like the GameSir G8 expose their screenshot
button only as the share element, not buttonOptions (OR onto the same bit, so
double-exposed pads are harmless). The G8's other extra button (M) is a
firmware-local modifier (turbo/hair-trigger/swap) invisible to the OS.

Ground-up RumbleRenderer rewrite around one principle: rumble is idempotent
state on a lossy channel, and the actuator's divergence from it must be
bounded, not best-effort. The old renderer rebuilt an infinite-duration
CHHapticAdvancedPatternPlayer per 0xCA datagram via an async stop; one stop
lost inside CoreHaptics left an unstoppable player buzzing forever (the
"entered the menu and rumble never stopped" bug).
- Finite 4 s segments, never infinite events — a leaked player self-silences;
steady levels re-arm seamlessly ON the engine timeline (no stop/start race)
- GamepadFeedback drains the rumble plane DRY per cycle, newest-wins (was one
datagram per 8 ms through a 16-deep drop-newest queue = lag + shed stops)
- Host 500 ms state refreshes dedupe to a liveness stamp; zero applies
immediately; nonzero ramps throttle to one rebake/25 ms per motor
- Throwing player stop escalates to engine.stop() (kills leaked players);
1.6 s staleness watchdog (Policy.session) force-silences on a dead channel;
the test panel holds levels via Policy.manual
- Plain makePlayer, NEVER makeAdvancedPlayer: gamecontrollerd's controller
haptics server advertises `adv players: 0`, and iOS 27 beta 2 hard-drops
advanced loads with an XPC decode fault (-4811/4097, rumble silently dead).
Live-verified on an iOS 27 beta 2 iPhone: DualSense rumble works
- Split-handle engines fall back to one combined .default engine on repeated
failure; renderer publishes health transitions and the test panel shows
them (a refused system service no longer reads as silent app breakage)
- Per-motor sharpness on split handles (0.3 heavy / 0.7 light); macOS
DualSense raw-HID path gains a ~1 s keepalive re-write while nonzero
- RumbleTuningTests pin the scheduling math, tuning relations, and a
queue/ticker teardown smoke test
Stuck-rumble streaming repro revalidation on glass still pending.

Sources reorganized (client: Home/Session/Settings/Stores/Support/Trust; kit:
Audio/Connection/Gamepad/Input/Support/Video/Views) with the big files split
along the same seams.
The gamepad mode is couch-complete, and now on macOS too (the living-room
Mac case), not just iOS/iPadOS:
- GamepadSettingsView: a console-style, fully controller-navigable settings
screen (X from the launcher) — up/down moves focus, left/right steps values
(clamped, boundary thud), A cycles/toggles, B closes; the focused row shows a
one-line description. Backed by GamepadMenuList, the vertical sibling of
GamepadCarousel, and SettingsOptions — the option lists hoisted out of
SettingsView statics and shared by the touch, tvOS and gamepad settings.
- GamepadAddHostView + GamepadKeyboard: register a host end to end with a pad
— field rows open an on-screen controller keyboard (dpad grid, A types,
X backspaces, B done); the launcher carousel ends in an Add Host tile, so
the dead-end "add one with touch first" empty state is gone.
- Launcher polish: contextual hint bar with the pad's real button glyphs,
controller name + battery chip, one shared console chrome.
- GamepadScreenBackground: an animated aurora (TimelineView-driven drifting
blobs in the brand's violet family, breathing radii, slow hue shift,
legibility scrim; freezes under Reduce Motion). Pure SwiftUI on purpose — a
.metal library only bundles reliably in one of the two build systems (SPM vs
the xcodeproj's synced folders) these sources compile under.
- macOS port: settings/add-host/library present as sized sheets (a macOS sheet
takes its content's IDEAL size, and the GeometryReader-driven screens
collapsed to nothing), NSScreen-based mode lists, scroll indicators .never
(the "always show scroll bars" setting overrides .hidden), tray scrims so
scrolled rows dim under the pinned title/hints, extra title clearance, and a
PUNKTFUNK_FORCE_GAMEPAD_UI=1 dev hook — launcher/settings/add-host/keyboard/
library render-verified live on a real Mac + LAN hosts.
- GamepadMenuInput: X button support, and (re)start now snapshots held buttons
so a controller handoff press never fires twice (the B that closed the
keyboard no longer also cancels the screen underneath).
- Cleanups: one "Connection failed" alert in ContentView instead of one per
home screen; HostDiscovery.advertises/unsaved shared by both home screens.
- host: can_encode_444 stub for the non-Linux/Windows host build (the macOS
synthetic-source loopback used by the Swift tests).
