enricobuehler f2fa7828d6 fix(probe,scripts): make speed-test sweeps work headless and tell the truth
Three bugs found running the owed throughput sweeps (all three conspired
to make yesterday's 'transport does 1G+' numbers fabrications):

- the probe never advertised VIDEO_CAP_PROBE_SEQ, so every host DECLINED
  its speed tests; the zeroed decline reply divided a settle-window
  sliver by 1 ms and printed plausible-looking garbage. Advertise the
  cap (the shared-core reassembler windows probe-space frames) and
  detect the all-zero decline explicitly.
- an idle virtual desktop publishes no frames on damage-driven capture
  (Windows IDD-push), so the pipeline build timed out before the burst
  could run. The probe now injects a ±2 px cursor wiggle over the wire
  during --speed-test warmup — injected host-side into the right
  session, works headless everywhere.
- throughput-sweep.py: tracing emits ANSI color into pipes, which broke
  the key=value parser (crash on the first point); strip it, guard
  half-parsed lines, and surface host declines as a flag.

Also logs the whole-run receive stage split (PUNKTFUNK_PERF) at stream
end — the probe is the measurement tool for the client-pump wall.

throughput-sweep.py — punktfunk data-plane throughput diagnostic.
Drives the built-in `punktfunk-probe --speed-test` up a ladder of target
bitrates and tabulates, per point:
target | delivered | efficiency | link_loss | host_drop | send_dropped
The probe bursts synthetic FEC filler over the REAL UDP + GF(2^16) FEC + AES-GCM
data plane with video PAUSED (host `run_probe_burst`), so this isolates the
transport from NVENC entirely. It separates the two failure modes the raw
`iperf` number can't:
* host_drop = wire packets the host could not even hand to the kernel
(send buffer full / send thread can't keep up) -> HOST side
* link_loss = wire packets sent but never arrived
(link saturation, or client recv buffer/CPU drop) -> LINK/CLIENT
How to read the result:
* delivered ~= target, ~0 loss all the way to 2-3 Gbps
-> the transport is NOT your wall. The ~500 Mbps ceiling is the ENCODER
(CBR undershoot with no filler / codec level cap). Chase that next.
* delivered climbs then flattens while host_drop rises
-> host send buffer / single send thread. (SO_SNDBUF, USO chunk size.)
* delivered flattens while link_loss rises, host_drop ~0
-> the link itself, or the client recv path (8 MB RCVBUF clamp / recv CPU).
Cross-check with `iperf3 -u -b 2G` between the two boxes to decide
which: if iperf also caps, it's the link/OS, not punktfunk.
Prereq (one-time) — pair the probe with your host. Arm pairing on the host,
then:
punktfunk-probe --connect HOST:9777 --pair <PIN>
(the probe stores its identity in ~/.config/punktfunk/). After that the sweep
reuses the trusted identity; pass --pin <HOSTFP> to also pin the host.
Usage:
scripts/throughput-sweep.py HOST[:PORT] [options]
Options:
--pin HEX64 pin the host cert fingerprint (host logs it at startup)
--mode WxHxFPS request this virtual-display mode (default: probe default)
--ladder A,B,C target bitrates in Mbps
(default: 250,500,750,1000,1250,1500,2000,3000)
--dur-ms N burst duration per point in ms (default: 2000)
--bin PATH path to punktfunk-probe (default: target/release/punktfunk-probe)
--build (re)build the probe before sweeping
--warmup-video-kbps N encoder bitrate during warmup (default: 20000 = 20 Mbps)
--dry-run print the probe commands without running them
--self-test run the output parser against a synthetic line and exit
Examples:
scripts/throughput-sweep.py 192.168.1.173
scripts/throughput-sweep.py 192.168.1.173:9777 --pin a1b2... --ladder 500,1000,2000
