Stream reliability
- Default to the stage-2 presenter (VTDecompressionSession + CAMetalLayer): it detects
and recovers a wedged decoder, where stage-1's AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer freezes hard
on a lost HEVC reference frame with no app-side recovery (confirmed Apple limitation).
Stage 1 is now a DEBUG-only presenter toggle, plus the automatic no-Metal fallback.
- Stage-2 pixel-perfect: render the drawable at the decoded size (shader stays 1:1 =
identity) and let the layer's contentsGravity scale via the system compositor — the
same path stage-1's videoGravity used — instead of scaling in-shader.
- Loss recovery in both pumps is now a persistent awaitingIDR want, retried until an IDR
actually lands, so a keyframe request swallowed by the throttle can't strand a frozen
frame; 100 ms keyframe throttle to match the Android path.
- Fix "Publishing changes from within view updates": defer the HostStore writes out of
the .onChange(of: model.phase) callback.
- Move AVAudioSession setActive/setCategory off the main thread (async on a shared serial
queue) to stop the UI-stall warning.
Controllers
- Rumble: capped-exponential backoff when the gamecontrollerd.haptics XPC breaks (-4811)
so a transient server interruption self-heals instead of cascading; playsHapticsOnly so
a controller engine doesn't join the always-active streaming audio session.
- Host cards: iPad pointer "magnet" hover effect; iPhone press scale + light haptic.
UI / design
- Ship Geist (SIL OFL 1.1) as the app font (bundled OTFs + registration), with the
license surfaced in Acknowledgements.
- Restructure iOS/iPadOS Settings into a category NavigationSplitView; resolution wheel
with custom-resolution entry; 10-bit HDR toggle in Display.
- Industrial host-card redesign (left-aligned, bold, brand monogram tiles).

Surface THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.txt in every GUI client (the desktop packages already
ship it as a file; this adds the on-glass screen):
- Linux: Preferences -> About -> Third-party licenses (adw::AboutDialog with the app
license + Legal sections; include_str! the root notices).
- Apple: macOS About tab / iOS+tvOS Acknowledgements link; notices bundled as
PunktfunkKit SPM resources, read via Bundle.module (the Xcode app links the SPM
product, so they ride along - no .pbxproj edit).
- Android: Settings -> About -> Open-source licenses (reads the bundled asset).
- (Windows landed earlier in d1d2ca2: Settings -> About -> Third-party licenses.)
gen-third-party-notices.sh now copies the generated file into the Apple Resources/
and Android assets/ trees so the in-tree copies never drift.
