GameController's CHHapticEngine never reaches the DualSense's motors on macOS — its
adaptive triggers and lightbar work, but rumble stays silent (a documented platform
gap). Drive the motors directly via the DualSense HID output report instead, the way
SDL and the Linux hid-playstation driver do — the same report that already rumbles
the pad on a Linux host. Confirmed live on macOS.
- DualSenseHID (macOS): opens the Sony DualSense via IOHIDManager and writes the USB
(0x02, 48 bytes) and Bluetooth (0x31, 78 bytes + CRC32) output reports through
IOHIDDeviceSetReport. Allowed under the App Sandbox by the existing device.usb +
device.bluetooth entitlements; coexists with GameController (non-seized open).
Flags mirror the kernel driver (COMPATIBLE_VIBRATION | HAPTICS_SELECT +
COMPATIBLE_VIBRATION2); valid_flag1 = 0 so a rumble report leaves the
GameController-managed lightbar / triggers / player LEDs untouched.
- RumbleRenderer routes a DualSense to the HID backend and keeps CoreHaptics for
every other pad, fixing both live sessions and the test panel (shared renderer).
- CoreHaptics path reworked too: bake the target intensity + an explicit sharpness
into the continuous event (the dynamic-parameter scaling is silent on controller
engines) and tear down outside the inout access to fix a latent exclusivity hazard.
Adds a DEBUG-only Settings -> Controllers -> "Test Controller" panel (ControllerTestView
+ ControllerTester) that shows live input and fires rumble / adaptive triggers /
lightbar / player LEDs straight at the pad, with a readout of the active rumble backend
("DualSense HID - USB/Bluetooth"). Used to validate the fix.
Tests: DualSenseHIDTests pins the USB/BT report layout and the BT CRC32 (canonical
0xCBF43926 check vector). Debug + release build clean; gamepad suite green.
