enricobuehlerandClaude Fable 5 7058647264 fix(vdisplay/capture): channel-less sessions composite the pointer on a sticky-declared target
A declared IddCx hardware cursor is IRREVOCABLE for its OS target's life
(§8.6), and the sticky exclusion survives monitor REMOVE→ADD because each
client gets a STABLE target id — so once any desktop-mode session declared,
every later pure-capture session on that target streamed a cursor-less
desktop: DWM excluded the pointer, no channel forwarded it, no blend drew it
(the exact no-regression gap §8.6's per-session cap gate cannot see).

Driver: track every successful SetupHardwareCursor per target
(DECLARED_TARGETS — scoped to the WUDFHost's life, exactly the sticky
state's scope) and report it in a new AddReply::cursor_excluded tail field
(dual-size discipline, both skews degrade cleanly; no proto bump).

Host: the flag rides AddedMonitor → Monitor → WinCaptureTarget; a session
WITHOUT the cursor channel on a flagged target forces composite mode in the
IDD-push capturer — GDI poller + blend for the session's life, pinned on
(set_cursor_forward cannot clear it: with no client drawing, un-compositing
would erase the pointer entirely).

//! 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 each tick
//! follows the one whose pointer actually moved (gamescope routes input to the focused surface, so
//! exactly one moves at a time). 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.
//!
//! Two X sources per display, split by cost (Sunshine's split):
//! * **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. It also
//! doubles as the focus signal (the display whose pointer moves is the active one).
//! * **Shape / hotspot / visibility** — `XFixesGetCursorImage`, refreshed only after an XFixes
//! `CursorNotify` (a real cursor change). A game hiding the pointer IS a cursor change → the
//! image comes back fully transparent → `visible: false`, which the encode loop strips before
//! any blend path draws it (so a grabbed pointer shows nothing, matching native gamescope).
