The Decky plugin (98993fa) launches `punktfunk-client`, but the Arch package only
shipped the host, so the Deck had nothing to launch. Convert the PKGBUILD to a
split package (pkgbase=punktfunk → punktfunk-host + punktfunk-client), mirroring the
rpm subpackages and the two deb build scripts:
- punktfunk-host: unchanged artifact set + NVENC/compositor optdepends.
- punktfunk-client: the GTK4 binary + io.unom.Punktfunk.desktop + the hidraw udev
rule + the 32MB recv-buffer sysctl; depends gtk4/libadwaita/sdl3/ffmpeg/pipewire/
opus; optdepends libva-mesa-driver (VAAPI decode on the Deck's AMD APU, software
fallback otherwise). New punktfunk-client.install scriptlet.
- build-sysext.sh now derives the package name from the file, so it wraps either the
host OR the client into a systemd-sysext .raw — on a Deck you wrap the client.
- README: split-package usage + a "Steam Deck (the client)" section tying the sysext
to the Decky plugin (client is on PATH → plugin launches `punktfunk-client
--connect host:port`). Clarified the VAAPI gap is host-ENCODE only; the client
DECODES via VAAPI on the Deck today, so streaming to a Deck works now.

Add packaging/arch: a PKGBUILD mirroring the rpm/deb artifact set (binary, udev
rule, 32MB sysctl, systemd USER units with ExecStart rewritten, headless helpers,
env templates, openapi), a pacman .install scriptlet, a systemd-sysext builder for
immutable SteamOS, and a README. Builds the working tree via PF_SRCDIR (CI/dev) or
a git tag (AUR). Arch's stock ffmpeg already ships NVENC, so deps collapse to ~10
packages with nvidia-utils/compositors as optdepends (never hard-depend on the
driver, same invariant as rpm/deb).
SteamOS delivery is a **systemd-sysext** (overlays /usr read-only from writable
/var/lib/extensions/, survives A/B OS updates, no steamos-readonly disable) —
pacman/distrobox/flatpak are all unsuitable for a host that needs uinput/uhid, the
host PipeWire socket, the GPU node, and to spawn a compositor.
KNOWN GAP, documented prominently: encode is NVENC-only (src/encode/linux.rs has no
VAAPI backend), so this works on Arch+NVIDIA (and bazzite-deck-nvidia) but an AMD
Steam Deck installs yet cannot encode until a hevc_vaapi backend is written — a code
change, not packaging.
