fix(client/windows): repair the v0.15.0 MSIX build — ARM64 feature leak + illegal XML comment

Both MSIX matrix jobs failed at the v0.15.0 tag, for two unrelated reasons, both introduced by this release. 0.13.0 and 0.14.0 shipped both packages; 0.15.0 shipped neither. ARM64 failed to BUILD. The PyroWave Windows un-gating (1ef0229b) moved `pyrowave-sys` in pf-client-core out of `cfg(target_os = "linux")` into a general optional dependency that pf-client-core's own `default = ["pyrowave"]` turns on. The ARM64 leg builds `--no-default-features` precisely to skip it, but that only disables defaults for the two packages named with `-p` — every internal edge kept inheriting them: clients/windows -> pf-client-core, clients/session -> pf-client-core, clients/session -> pf-presenter, and pf-presenter's own `default = ["pyrowave"]` -> pf-client-core. So the vendored Granite C++ compiled on ARM64 and stopped where it always does: muglm.cpp reaching for _MM_TRANSPOSE4_PS/_mm_storeu_ps, then `simd.hpp:103 #error "Implement me."`. Those three internal edges now pass `default-features = false`; the feature is enabled only through an explicit chain (clients/session's `pyrowave` -> pf-client-core/pyrowave + pf-presenter/pyrowave, and pf-presenter's `pyrowave` -> pf-client-core/pyrowave), so `--no-default-features` finally means what it says. Verified by feature resolution rather than assertion — `cargo tree -i pyrowave-sys`: aarch64-pc-windows-msvc, --no-default-features -> not in the graph (was: present) x86_64-pc-windows-msvc, default features -> present x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, default features -> present PyroWave is NOT dropped from the Windows client. Decode has always run in the spawned punktfunk-session binary, whose own default keeps the feature on, and unification turns it back on for the shared pf-client-core wherever that binary is in the build (x64, Linux). The shell only ever offered "pyrowave" as a codec preference string — it holds no decoder and never called one, so linking the C++ into it was dead weight even on x64. x64 built fine and failed at PACKAGING: `makepri new` rejected the manifest with PRI191 "Appx manifest not found or is invalid" / malformed comment syntax. The console tile added in 2508b720 documented its flag inside an XML comment, and XML forbids `--` anywhere in a comment body, so the literal flag spelling made the whole manifest unparseable. Reworded, with a note to keep the next person from reintroducing it. Confirmed by parsing both revisions after template substitution: the tagged manifest fails at line 63 col 9, this one parses.

- * Text clipboard sync for the active session (the desktop-client model, text-only v1):
- *  * **Device → host**: a local copy (the primary-clip listener, plus one probe at start) is
- *    announced as a lazy offer — the text crosses only when the host actually pastes (a
- *    `fetch:` event, answered with the clipboard's current content).
- *  * **Host → device**: a host copy arrives as an `offer:` event and is fetched eagerly into
- *    the system clipboard (Android apps can't lazily materialize a paste from the network
- *    without a content-provider round-trip that isn't worth it here).
- *
- * Loop guard: text set from a host fetch is remembered ([lastFromHost]) so the resulting
- * primary-clip-changed callback doesn't bounce it straight back as a new offer. Clipboard reads
- * happen while the stream is foreground (Android only allows focused-app reads). The native
- * events are drained on a dedicated thread and applied on the main thread; [stop] joins it.

- * Android TV remote as a pointer — the Android analogue of the Apple client's Siri-remote pointer,
- * adapted for D-pad-only remotes (most Android TV remotes have no touch surface). For the
- * "TV as a desktop client" use case, where a plain remote is often the only thing in hand.
- *
- * While streaming on a TV, **hold SELECT ≈ 0.8 s** to toggle pointer mode. While active:
- *  * D-pad (held) glides the host cursor with ramping acceleration (relative `MouseMove`,
- *    Choreographer-paced, diagonal-normalized);
- *  * SELECT tap = left click; PLAY/PAUSE tap = right click (Siri-remote parity);
- *  * PLAY/PAUSE held = toggle the on-screen keyboard; BACK = leave pointer mode
- *    (a second BACK then leaves the stream as usual).
- * While inactive, everything except the SELECT long-press passes through untouched (D-pad =
- * arrow keys, SELECT tap = Enter — synthesized on release, since the down was held back to
- * disambiguate the long-press).
- *
- * Only consulted for non-gamepad key events on TV devices (MainActivity gates the calls); all
- * state lives on the main thread.

-/// Build one GNOME 50+ HDR format pod: `format` (xRGB_210LE / xBGR_210LE) as a LINEAR-only
-/// dmabuf with **MANDATORY** BT.2020 primaries + SMPTE ST.2084 (PQ) transfer-function props —
-/// the exact colorimetry Mutter's monitor stream advertises while the mirrored monitor is in
-/// HDR mode (its HDR pods carry the same props MANDATORY, so both sides must speak them for
-/// the intersection to exist; an SDR or pre-50 producer can never match this pod).
-///
-/// LINEAR-only because every 10-bit consumer we have reads the buffer without a de-tile pass:
-/// the CPU path mmaps it, and the VAAPI passthrough imports it into a VA surface. The tiled
-/// EGL de-tile blit renders into an 8-bit `GL_RGBA8` texture — it would silently crush the
-/// depth — so tiled modifiers are deliberately NOT advertised (a zero-copy 10-bit de-tile is
-/// the follow-up). SHM is excluded entirely: Mutter's SHM record path paints 8-bit ARGB32
-/// regardless of the negotiated format.
-/// `SPA_VIDEO_TRANSFER_SMPTE2084` (PQ) — spelled out rather than taken from `pw::spa::sys`
-/// because libspa only grew the constant with the BT2020_10/SMPTE2084/ARIB_STD_B67 block, and
-/// the distro builders (Ubuntu 24.04 noble for the .deb) ship headers predating it — bindgen
-/// then emits no such constant and the host fails to compile there, even though the code never
-/// runs on those systems (the HDR path needs GNOME 50+).
-///
-/// 14 is the enum's position in `spa/param/video/color.h` and is wire ABI, not a private
-/// detail: SPA mirrors GStreamer's `GstVideoTransferFunction`, where that block was added
-/// together, so the value is identical on every libspa that has the symbol at all. On one that
-/// doesn't, PipeWire simply fails to intersect this format offer and the session negotiates
-/// SDR — the same outcome as not offering HDR.

-//! XFixes cursor source for the gamescope capture path (remote-desktop-sweep Phase C).
-//!
-//! gamescope draws the pointer on a DRM hardware-cursor plane and its `paint_pipewire()`
-//! deliberately excludes the cursor from the frame it feeds its built-in PipeWire node — so
-//! `SPA_META_Cursor` never arrives and the ordinary [`cursor_live`](super::PortalCapturer) slot
-//! stays empty (a KWin/GNOME session gets its cursor from that meta; gamescope can't embed one
-//! either, its `set_hw_cursor` is inert). We instead read the pointer from gamescope's nested
-//! Xwayland via X11 — the trick Sunshine uses — and publish a [`CursorOverlay`] into that same
-//! slot, so the encoder blend composites the pointer into the video exactly like the portal path.
-//!
-//! **Multiple Xwaylands.** gamescope runs one Xwayland per `--xwayland-count` (Steam Gaming Mode
-//! uses 2: one for Big Picture, one for the game). The pointer lives on whichever is FOCUSED — an
-//! inactive display's pointer is frozen. So the source connects to ALL of them and publishes from
-//! the one gamescope is actually drawing the pointer on; it reads that display's shape too, since
-//! each Xwayland has its own current cursor. This is why a single-display read froze the pointer
-//! the moment a game on the OTHER Xwayland took focus.
-//!
-//! Three X sources per display, split by cost (Sunshine's split, plus gamescope's own verdict):
-//! * **Position** — core `QueryPointer` on the root, polled fast. Cheap (a few-byte reply, no
-//!   bitmap), so it can out-pace the stream fps and keep the composited pointer smooth.
-//! * **Shape / hotspot** — `XFixesGetCursorImage`, refreshed only after an XFixes `CursorNotify`
-//!   (a real cursor change). A fully-transparent image reads as hidden.
-//! * **Visibility + focus** — [`GAMESCOPE_CURSOR_VISIBLE_FEEDBACK`](GS_CURSOR_FEEDBACK) on the
-//!   root, read at connect and re-read on its `PropertyNotify`.
-//!
-//! **Why the feedback atom and not pointer motion.** gamescope hides its pointer by WARPING the X
-//! pointer to the root's bottom-right corner pixel — it does NOT swap in a transparent X cursor, so
-//! `XFixesGetCursorImage` keeps handing back the last opaque arrow. The original "follow whichever
-//! display's pointer moved" heuristic therefore stuck to the parked display (a parked pointer never
-//! moves again) and composited that arrow at `(w-1, h-1)`: a sliver of cursor welded to the corner
-//! of the stream for the rest of the session, while the real pointer went undrawn. Reported
-//! on-glass as "part of cursor shows up on bottom right … isn't where it really is", in every game
-//! (a game grabs the pointer, so the hide is permanent). Measured on a live 1920x1080 Gaming Mode
-//! session: real motion ⇒ pointer live + feedback `1`; 3 s idle (`--hide-cursor-delay 3000`) ⇒
-//! pointer `(1919, 1079)` + feedback `0`. The atom answers BOTH questions correctly for a static
-//! pointer, which motion cannot: which Xwayland owns it, and whether to draw it at all — so
-//! honouring it also gives the stream gamescope's own idle auto-hide, which this source never had.

-//! The LAST-RESORT DWM compose kick — synthetic pointer input that dirties a specific virtual
-//! display so DWM presents it.
-//!
-//! Split out of `idd_push.rs` in sweep Phase 5.4. It is self-contained (one function plus a
-//! process-global throttle) and it is the one piece of the capture path that reaches for synthetic
-//! INPUT, which is worth keeping visibly separate from the frame machinery: it is unreliable by
-//! nature, user-visible in the sibling-display case, and only ever a fallback for the driver's own
-//! `FrameStash` republish.
-
-use super::*;
-
-/// LAST-RESORT fallback: nudge DWM into composing THE TARGET virtual display. DWM presents a
-/// display only when something DIRTIES it — an idle desktop never does, so a freshly-attached ring
-/// (session open, or a mid-session ring recreate) can sit at E_PENDING with no first frame even
-/// though everything is healthy.
-///
-/// The PRIMARY first-frame mechanism is the driver's `FrameStash` (frame_transport.rs): the driver
-/// retains the last composed frame and republishes it into every freshly-attached ring, so with a
-/// stash-capable driver the first frame lands milliseconds after the channel delivery and this kick
-/// never fires. It remains for pre-stash drivers and for the empty-stash cold start (a monitor that
-/// has NEVER composed — normally the activation compose covers that). Synthetic input is inherently
-/// unreliable — blocked on the secure desktop, defeated by a fullscreen game's ClipCursor, and
-/// user-visible in the sibling-display case — which is exactly why it was demoted to fallback.
-///
-/// pf-vdisplay implements no hardware-cursor plane, so a cursor move is composited into
-/// the frame — a guaranteed real present onto the IDD swap-chain (empirically what
-/// `punktfunk-probe --input-test` always relied on).
-///
-/// The cursor only dirties the display it is ON — proven on-glass in the Stage-W3 two-display
-/// validation: display B's session-open kicks wiggled the cursor on display A and B never composed
-/// a first frame. So the kick is per-TARGET: when the cursor already sits inside `target_id`'s
-/// desktop region (always true single-display), two net-zero 1 px relative moves (the historical
-/// behavior, pointer ends exactly where it started); when it sits on a SIBLING display, jump the
-/// cursor to the target's center and straight back (`SetCursorPos` ×2 — each absolute move dirties
-/// the cursor layer of the display it lands on, so the target composes at least one frame).
-/// Best-effort — injection can be unavailable on the secure desktop, where a fresh compose just
-/// happened anyway.
-///
-/// **COST:** the sibling-display branch SLEEPS 35 ms on the calling thread between the two
-/// `SetCursorPos`es. The dwell is load-bearing (see the comment at that branch: a sub-tick
-/// jump-and-return never dirties anything), but the caller is the capture/encode thread, so a kick
-/// on that branch costs ~2 frames of latency at 60 Hz. Every call site is a first-frame or
-/// post-recreate recovery window where no frames are flowing anyway, and the global 50 ms throttle
-/// plus the callers' own 600–800 ms schedules bound how often it can happen.
-///
-/// **HID-first**: when the host has registered [`HID_COMPOSE_KICK`] (the resident pf-mouse virtual
-/// HID pointer), the kick goes through it INSTEAD of the `SendInput` paths below. A report from a
-/// HID device is real input to win32k — delivered regardless of this process's session or the
-/// active desktop, it wakes a powered-off display subsystem (lid-closed laptop / display idle-off /
-/// modern standby) and counts as user presence — every condition under which `SendInput` is
-/// silently impotent (wrong session → wrong input queue; secure desktop → blocked; display off →
-/// nothing composes at all). That set is exactly the lid-closed field-report state.

-//! GDI cursor poller — the Windows cursor-SHAPE source for the cursor-forward channel
-//! (design/remote-desktop-sweep.md §8, the M2c redesign).
-//!
-//! Why not the IddCx hardware-cursor query (the v5 `CursorShm` path, now the fallback): it is
-//! alpha-only BY DESIGN — `IDDCX_CURSOR_SHAPE_TYPE` has no monochrome value, the OS pre-converts
-//! monochrome to masked-color (IDDCX_CURSOR_CAPS docs), and masked-color delivery is dead code on
-//! modern builds (proven on-glass at every `ColorXorCursorSupport` level; no public evidence of a
-//! MASKED_COLOR delivery anywhere). The driver keeps its hardware cursor declared at XOR FULL
-//! purely so DWM EXCLUDES every cursor type from the IDD frame.
-//!
-//! Why not DXGI Desktop Duplication `GetFramePointerShape`: its `PointerPosition.Visible` goes
-//! stale when the cursor moves only via injected input on current Win11 (Sunshine #5293 — exactly
-//! a Punktfunk session's topology), it burns one of the session's four duplication slots, and its
-//! per-output metadata on IDD monitors has conflicting field reports. The GDI path below is the
-//! metadata-forwarding-remote-desktop pattern (RustDesk, WebRTC/Chrome Remote Desktop, OBS): the
-//! cursor is per-session global state in win32k, readable cross-process, and `CURSOR_SHOWING` is
-//! the logical visibility — immune to all of the above.
-//!
-//! Works because the capture host runs as SYSTEM *inside the interactive session* on
-//! `winsta0\default` (the service supervisor retargets the token — `windows/service.rs`
-//! `spawn_host`), so the poller thread sees the session's cursor directly; no helper process.
