enricobuehler be09f9f345 feat(session): console game library — Skia coverflow + SkSL aurora, --browse (phase 4b)
The run loop grows a browse mode: the console library idles between
streams in ONE window (no gamescope handoff), overlay actions launch
sessions via run_browse's callback, session end returns to the library.
The Overlay contract gains menu routing (MenuEvent → haptic pulse),
action draining, and session-phase edges.

pf-console-ui ports the GTK launcher wholesale: the coverflow's springs,
cursor arithmetic and recede/tilt constants move verbatim with their
tests (plus new projection tests — focused-card centering, the inner-
edge-recedes corridor); paint order is draw order (the gtk::Fixed
restack hack is gone); the aurora renders as an SkSL runtime shader at
full rate on every box (the 30 Hz CPU-upscale path and its frozen-on-
Deck fallback are deleted — the generated SkSL is compile-tested);
titles/scenes shape through textlayout (CJK-safe). Poster art streams
in as encoded bytes through the shared model and decodes renderer-side.

The session binary wires --browse host[:port] [--mgmt PORT]: KnownHosts
lookup (unpaired renders the pair-first scene), library + art fetch on
threads, PUNKTFUNK_FAKE_LIBRARY dev hook, and a session_params helper
shared with --connect. The minimal build refuses --browse cleanly.

# punktfunk-session
The Vulkan session binary: one stream per invocation in an SDL3 window — no UI toolkit,
no widgets, terminal stats. The power-user / gamescope stream client, and the stage-2
presenter of the Linux client re-architecture (punktfunk-planning:
`linux-client-rearchitecture.md`).
```
punktfunk-session --connect host[:port] [--fp HEX] [--launch id] [--fullscreen] [--stats]
punktfunk-session --browse host[:port] [--mgmt PORT] [--fullscreen]
```
`--browse` opens the console game library (the Skia coverflow over the animated aurora)
instead of connecting: A launches the focused title as a stream in the same window,
session end returns to the library, B quits (Gaming Mode returns). Paired hosts only —
pairing is the desktop client / Decky plugin's job. `PUNKTFUNK_FAKE_LIBRARY=<file.json>`
feeds canned entries with no host (portrait paths starting with `/` load from disk).
Reads the same identity / known-hosts / settings stores as the desktop client
(`punktfunk-client`) — pair there (or via its headless `--pair`) first; this binary never
connects to a host it has no pinned fingerprint for (`--fp HEX` overrides the store).
Stdout is the machine interface: `{"ready":true}` after the first presented frame,
`stats: …` once per second (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S toggles, `--stats` forces on), one
`{"error"|"ended": …}` JSON line on the way out. Logs go to stderr. Exit codes: `0`
clean end, `2` connect failed, `3` trust rejected / pairing required, `4` presenter
init failed.
In-stream keys match the desktop client: click captures input (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Q
releases), Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D disconnects, F11 toggles fullscreen; the controller escape
chord (L1+R1+Start+Select, hold to disconnect) works the same.
The default build carries the Skia console UI (`ui` feature): the stats OSD and capture
hint render in-window (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+S toggles both the OSD and the stdout mirror).
`--no-default-features` is the ~5 MB power-user build — same streaming, stats on stdout
only, no Skia anywhere in the dependency tree.
Decode follows the Settings preference: VAAPI frames import zero-copy into Vulkan
(per-plane dmabuf + the stream's CICP-driven CSC shader); boxes whose driver can't
import (NVIDIA proprietary by design) fall back to software decode automatically.
Debug/bisect knobs: `PUNKTFUNK_DECODER=software|vaapi`, `PUNKTFUNK_PRESENT_MODE=
mailbox|immediate` (default FIFO), `PUNKTFUNK_VK_DEVICE=<index>` (multi-GPU), and
`PUNKTFUNK_HW_FAULT=import` (fault every dmabuf import — proves the three-strike
demotion to software on healthy hardware). HDR/P010 and the Skia console UI
(`--browse`) are later phases of the plan.
