Audio input settings (device picker, VAD/PTT mode, VAD sensitivity, mic gain,
PTT key) move from the always-visible bottom panel into Settings > Audio...,
matching the macOS/iOS pattern.
The device ComboBox now uses DataSource + DisplayMember="Name" instead of
Items.Add() with no DisplayMember — this fixes both the display bug (was
showing the full DeviceInfo record ToString()) and the NVDA silence on
dropdown open (DataSource binding exposes proper MSAA text per item).
Changes apply live for immediate feedback; Cancel reverts. VoiceSettings
gains InputDeviceId to persist the chosen device across sessions.

Input mode (VAD/PTT/Always-On), VAD threshold, and the new mic gain were
applied to the core + UI but never saved, so every relaunch reset to VAD
defaults. Each client now persists them and re-applies on connect:
- iOS: UserDefaults (SessionState.loadAndApplyVoiceSettings + setter writes)
- macOS: UserDefaults via MainWindowController didSet + loadPersistedAudioSettings
(settings window also restores the VAD slider from the stored threshold)
- Windows: new Models/VoiceSettings.cs (JSON at %AppData%\VoiceCat\voice.json,
mirrors FeedbackSettings) loaded/applied in MainForm
Add global send-side mic gain API vc_set_input_gain (applied to MIC PCM in
on_capture_frame before the VAD gate, clamped to int16) + Swift/C# bindings,
and a 0-300% (default 100%) mic-volume slider on all three clients.
Fix iOS chat: ChatView called sendText(scope:.channel) with no targetId (0),
so channel messages went nowhere; now passes session.currentChannelId.
Fix iOS per-user tuning for VoiceOver: the tuning sheet was long-press
.contextMenu only (invisible to VoiceOver); UserRow now also exposes the same
buttons via .accessibilityActions (no visual change).
Verified: core builds clean; ctest 24/27 (3 pre-existing teardown crashes,
reproduced with changes stashed); VoiceCatMac + VoiceCatiOS (arm64 sim) build
SUCCEEDED; VoiceCat.Interop dotnet build succeeded. Windows App not built
(WinForms can't build on macOS) — follows existing patterns.
- ContextMenuStrip: select first item on Opened so keyboard-invoked menus
(Shift+F10 / Apps key) raise the UIA focus event immediately instead of
staying silent until the first arrow key.
- Name the SplitContainer/SplitterPanel containers so screen readers announce
orientation instead of a stack of anonymous pane nodes.
- Take the resize splitters out of the Tab cycle (TabStop = false) so focus
moves control-to-control.
- RefreshChannelTree: restore keyboard focus and re-announce the current node
after a Nodes.Clear()/rebuild, so the tree no longer loses focus when
channels/users change.

- Voice actions (Join Voice, Share Screen Audio) moved to a ToolStrip toolbar and
a new Voice menu in the menu bar; removed from the bottom voice panel
- Activity log and chat log collapsed into a single RichTextBox (rtbLog); activity
events appear in gray, chat messages in default color
- Private messaging reworked: each conversation opens in its own modeless
PrivateMessageForm instead of sharing the main chat log via a scope dropdown;
cboScope removed; main compose bar always sends to the current channel
- New "Messages -> New Private Message..." menu item (Ctrl+P) opens a UserPickerDialog
listing all connected server users (not just the current channel) so you can PM
anyone on the server
- Channel tree now shows live user counts, e.g. "General (3)" -- counts sourced from
the existing _users dictionary which already tracks all server users with channel IDs
- Global output volume slider (TrackBar, 0-100, default 80) added to the right panel;
wired to new vc_set_output_volume C ABI function that applies a master gain multiplier
in the audio engine playback callback after mixing all streams
- vc_set_output_volume added end-to-end: voicecat.h, audio_engine.h/.cpp,
client.h/.cpp, voicecat.cpp, NativeMethods.cs, VoiceCatClient.cs
- Documented Windows PowerShell ctest requirement in AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md:
MinGW binaries exit 0xc0000139 in Git Bash; always run ctest/.exe via PowerShell
22/22 ctest green (PowerShell); dotnet build 0 warnings.

The core already supported SCREEN_AUDIO capture on Windows (post-M3 WASAPI
loopback via VOICECAT_HAS_LOOPBACK) and the C# Interop layer was complete
(VcStreamKind.ScreenAudio, StartStream/StopStream/SetRemoteStream). Only the
UI was missing -- no core, proto, or C ABI changes needed.
Adds a 'Share Screen Audio' toggle to the voice panel, independent of mic
voice (can share without joining voice). Disconnect/teardown now stops the
screen stream cleanly. New smoke test exercises the full StartStream ->
StreamStarted -> StopStream -> StreamStopped path through P/Invoke.
