chore(apple): declare non-exempt encryption in Info.plist (export compliance)

ITSAppUsesNonExemptEncryption = true — the app's AES-GCM session crypto is
non-exempt under the App Store Connect encryption questionnaire (category
chosen; French ANSSI declaration in progress). First of the six targets;
the remaining Info.plists follow with the rest of the compliance work.

+ * Multi-controller router for one stream session — the Android analogue of the Linux client's gamepad
+ * `Worker`/`Slot` model (`pf-client-core/src/gamepad.rs`) over the shared native-plane wire contract
+ * (`punktfunk-core/src/input.rs`). Each physical controller (Android `deviceId`) gets a STABLE
+ * lowest-free wire pad index (0..15) held for its lifetime and freed only on disconnect, so a pad
+ * dropping never renumbers the others (a game must not see its players shuffle). Every forwarded event
+ * carries that pad index; a [NativeBridge.nativeSendGamepadArrival] declaring the pad's type is sent
+ * once BEFORE its first input, a [NativeBridge.nativeSendGamepadRemove] on disconnect. Per-device axis
+ * state lives in each slot's [Gamepad.AxisMapper] so a second controller can't clobber the first.
+ * Feedback (rumble / HID) is routed BACK to the originating device by pad index via [deviceForPad].
+ *
+ * Selection: forward EVERY real controller (the Linux client's single-player pin has no Android UI
+ * surface yet — Automatic is the only mode). Lifetime matches the session: constructed on stream
+ * attach (opening a slot for every already-connected pad, so its Arrival lands before any input),
+ * released on detach.
+ *
+ * A single controller lands on wire index 0, so its per-transition button/axis wire is byte-identical
+ * to the old single-pad path (plus the Arrival/Remove declarations the contract requires — which an
+ * older host simply ignores).
+ *
+ * Threading: slot mutation + dispatch run on the main thread (Android input dispatch and the
+ * InputManager hot-plug callbacks both land there). [deviceForPad] is read from the feedback poll
+ * threads, so the slot table is a [ConcurrentHashMap].

+// Swift wrapper around the punktfunk-core C ABI's post-loss re-anchor gate
+// (`punktfunk_reanchor_gate_*`, ABI v6). The shared Rust gate (crates/punktfunk-core/src/reanchor.rs)
+// is what the Linux/Windows desktop pump and the Android client use directly; the Swift clients reach
+// it across the C ABI so the freeze-until-reanchor policy is defined ONCE for every platform.
+//
+// Why a freeze at all: after unrecoverable loss the host keeps sending delta frames that reference a
+// picture the client never got. Hardware decoders (VideoToolbox included) don't reliably error on
+// that — they CONCEAL, returning a gray/garbage frame with a success status. Presenting those is the
+// visible "gray flash with motion" of the loss reports. The gate withholds concealed frames and holds
+// the last good picture on glass until a PROVEN clean re-anchor lands — an IDR (wire `FLAG_SOF`), an
+// RFI recovery anchor (`USER_FLAG_RECOVERY_ANCHOR`), or the 2nd of two intra-refresh recovery marks
+// (`USER_FLAG_RECOVERY_POINT`) — with a bounded backstop so a lost re-anchor can never freeze forever.
+// See punktfunk-planning design/client-reanchor-freeze-parity.md.
+//
+// Threading: one gate per session. Its calls arrive from two threads — the pump thread (`arm` on a
+// frame-index gap / a submit failure, `poll` per iteration) and a VideoToolbox decode thread
+// (`onDecoded` per decoded frame, `onNoOutput` on a decode error). The raw Rust gate is a plain
+// struct behind an opaque pointer with no internal synchronization, so every call is serialized under

-//! so the only Windows change is the build (`sdl3` is compiled from source via the bundled
-//! CMake, since there is no system SDL3).
-//!
-//! One worker thread owns SDL for the process lifetime: it tracks connected pads, selects the
-//! ONE controller forwarded as pad 0 (user pin, else the most recently connected), and — while
-//! a session is attached — forwards buttons/axes, DualSense touchpad contacts and motion
-//! samples (0xCC), and renders feedback: rumble on every pad, lightbar via SDL, and on a real
-//! DualSense the raw effects packet (adaptive-trigger blocks replayed verbatim, player LEDs).
-//! Held state is zeroed on the wire when the active pad switches or the session detaches, so
-//! nothing sticks down.
-//!
-//! This thread is also the single consumer of the rumble and HID-output pull planes.

-//! every physical move is turned into a **relative** delta (`InputKind::MouseMove`) — we read the
-//! offset from the window centre, ship it (scaled screen→host through the Contain-fit factor, with
-//! sub-pixel remainder carried so slow drags aren't lost), then warp the cursor back to centre so
-//! it never reaches a screen edge. This is why the old absolute path froze: swallowing
-//! `WM_MOUSEMOVE` pinned the OS cursor, so `pt` never travelled and the absolute coordinate
-//! snapped to one point. Keys carry the **US-positional VK** for the pressed physical key (the
-//! punktfunk wire contract shared by every first-party client — see [`scan_to_positional_vk`]):
-//! the hook's layout-resolved `vkCode` must NOT go on the wire, or a non-US pair re-maps
-//! positions through two layouts (German: y↔z swapped, ü lands on ö).

-//! start, **Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Q** releases it (handing the cursor back to the local desktop), and a
-//! **click on the stream** re-engages it. Losing foreground also releases the lock so the cursor
-//! is never stranded; regaining it while still captured re-locks. When "capture system
-//! shortcuts" is off in Settings, Alt+Tab / Alt+Esc / Ctrl+Esc / the Win keys act on the local
-//! desktop instead of being forwarded. **Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D disconnects** the session (consumed
-//! locally, works captured or released while our window is foreground): it trips the session's
-//! stop flag, the pump winds down, and the event loop navigates back to the host list.
-//! **Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S** toggles the stats overlay live and **F11** toggles fullscreen — both are

-//! Direct3D11 presenter for a WinUI 3 `SwapChainPanel`. It draws a decoded frame Contain-fit into a
-//! **composition** flip-model swapchain, which the reactor stream page binds to the panel via
-//! `SwapChainPanelHandle::set_swap_chain`. After that one UI-thread bind, the presenter lives on
-//! the dedicated render thread ([`crate::render`]) — presenting never touches (or is stalled by)
-//! the XAML thread.
-//!
-//! Two frame sources, ONE Y′CbCr→RGB shader whose conversion rows arrive per frame in a constant
-//! buffer (`pf_client_core::video::csc_rows` from the frame's CICP signaling — identical colour
-//! math for both sources, and the stream's signaled matrix/range is honored, not assumed):
-//!
-//! * **GPU (D3D11VA)** — [`crate::video::GpuFrame`] is a slice of the decoder-only NV12/P010
-//!   texture array. One `CopySubresourceRegion` with a display-size box moves the slice — **both
-//!   planes; in D3D11 a planar slice is a single subresource** (unlike D3D12) — into our
-//!   sampleable texture, which per-plane SRVs (R8/R8G8, R16/R16G16) expose to the shaders. The
-//!   source box is mandatory: the decode array is coded-size (e.g. 1920×1088), the target
-//!   display-size (1920×1080), and D3D11 silently drops size-mismatched full-resource copies.
-//! * **CPU upload** — [`crate::video::CpuFrame`] carries NV12/P010 planes from the software
-//!   decoder; they upload into two dynamic plane textures feeding the same SRV slots/shaders.
-//!
-//! **Pacing**: the swapchain is created with `DXGI_SWAP_CHAIN_FLAG_FRAME_LATENCY_WAITABLE_OBJECT`
-//! and `SetMaximumFrameLatency(1)` (flagless fallback for odd drivers). The render thread waits
-//! on the latency waitable before drawing, so at most one present is ever queued (minimum compose
-//! latency) and a stream faster than the display drops frames *before* any GPU work. Every
-//! `ResizeBuffers` must re-pass the creation flags — that's `swap_flags`.
-//!
-//! **HiDPI**: buffers are sized in physical pixels and `IDXGISwapChain2::SetMatrixTransform`
-//! (scale 96/DPI) maps them to the panel's DIP coordinate space — without it XAML samples a
-//! DIP-sized buffer up and the video is blurry at 125/150 % scaling.
-//!
-//! **HDR10**: when a frame is BT.2020 PQ the swapchain flips to `R10G10B10A2` +
-//! `DXGI_COLOR_SPACE_RGB_FULL_G2084_NONE_P2020` (+ HDR10 metadata) via `ResizeBuffers`/
-//! `SetColorSpace1`; the shader output is already PQ-encoded so the compositor maps PQ→display. SDR
-//! stays 8-bit B8G8R8A8.
-//!
-//! All `windows` types here come from the same windows-rs commit as `windows-reactor`, so the
-//! `IDXGISwapChain1` handed to `set_swap_chain` satisfies reactor's `windows_core::Interface`.
