Windows AudioCapturer via the wasapi crate (0.23): loopback the default render endpoint (Render device + Direction::Capture + shared mode => STREAMFLAGS_LOOPBACK) at 48 kHz stereo f32 with autoconvert, feeding the existing Opus path with no resampling. Dedicated COM-MTA thread owns the !Send WASAPI objects; interleaved f32 chunks leave over a bounded lossy channel; RAII Drop stops + joins. Bring-up handshake reports a missing endpoint as Err so a session continues without audio. open_audio_capture Windows factory arm + module. Init chain validated live on the VM (open succeeds; next_chunk waits on a silent system). Virtual mic deferred (no Windows virtual-audio endpoint). m3 audio_thread wiring + opus hoist land with the integration task.
