Talon 8c90e250f0 feat(apple): screen-audio sharing -- macOS ScreenCaptureKit, iOS ReplayKit
Implement system/desktop audio sharing on the Apple clients, feeding the
existing SCREEN_AUDIO Opus -> AEAD -> UDP path via vc_stream_feed_pcm. No
C++/protocol/codec changes -- the core was already ready (the Windows-only
loopback is #ifdef VOICECAT_HAS_LOOPBACK; off Windows the stream just waits
for fed PCM). Audio only; video is dropped.

macOS (in-process):
- ScreenAudioCapture.swift drives an audio-only SCStream
  (excludesCurrentProcessAudio), converts Float32 -> int16 in the channel's
  mono/stereo mode, and calls feedPcm. Capture starts on the self
  .streamStarted event (effective config known then). Wired into
  MainWindowController.screenAudioClicked().

iOS (forward-to-host, single session):
- VoiceCatBroadcast: a ReplayKit Broadcast Upload Extension consumes
  .audioApp only, resamples to 48kHz int16 stereo (AVAudioConverter), and
  writes a shared App Group SPSC ring (BroadcastAudioRing.swift). It does
  not link libvoicecat.
- Host BroadcastAudioPump drains the ring (reacting to the extension's
  Darwin notifications) and feeds the SCREEN_AUDIO stream it owns, downmixing
  to mono when the channel is mono. Screen audio appears as a second stream
  of the same user; no credentials persisted. UI is RPSystemBroadcastPicker
  View in VoiceControlsView. Removes the speculative BroadcastCredentials.

# CLAUDE.md — agent hub for VoiceCat
Auto-loaded each session. This is the **map**: build commands, architecture at a glance, and
where everything is. For the *working method* read [`AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md); for *what's done
and what's next* read [`PROGRESS.md`](PROGRESS.md); for *design* read [`docs/`](docs/).
> **One-line status:** M5 (moderation & admin UI) is complete — permissions, kick/ban/move,

> WinForms C# client shipped (M4). **macOS AppKit client shipped** — `VoiceCatMac.xcodeproj`
> at `clients/apple/macOS/`. **iOS SwiftUI client shipped** — `VoiceCatiOS.xcodeproj` at

> Upload Extension → host App Group ring → `vc_stream_feed_pcm`).** See [`PROGRESS.md`](PROGRESS.md).
VoiceCat = self-hosted native voice & text chat (TeamSpeak/Mumble-style). Plain TCP (control)
+ UDP (media), no WebRTC, encrypted by default. A shared C++ core (`libvoicecat`) drives
native clients (Swift on macOS/iOS, C# on Windows) and the server.

## Build & test commands
The default development preset is **`dev`** — it builds everything (server + tools + tests)
with real vcpkg deps. The `skeleton` preset (no deps, stubs only) is a fast smoke check; see
[`docs/building.md`](docs/building.md) for the full preset matrix.
```bash
# Configure + build (default development preset; needs VCPKG_ROOT)
cmake --preset dev
cmake --build --preset dev
# Run the tests (21 behavior tests — grows per milestone)
# NOTE on Windows: run ctest via PowerShell, NOT Git Bash — MinGW binaries fail in Git Bash
# with exit 0xc0000139 (STATUS_ENTRYPOINT_NOT_FOUND). PowerShell runs them correctly.
ctest --preset dev # or: ctest --test-dir build/dev --output-on-failure
# Run the binaries — same Windows rule: use PowerShell, not Git Bash
./build/dev/bin/vccli # headless test client
./build/dev/bin/voicecat-server --help
./build/dev/bin/voicecat-server --name "My Server"
# Build a single target / be verbose
cmake --build --preset dev --target vccli
cmake --build --preset dev --verbose
# Clean
rm -rf build/dev # nuke; or:
cmake --build --preset dev --target clean
```
Other presets (see [`docs/building.md`](docs/building.md) for full detail):
```bash
cmake --preset skeleton # no-deps stub smoke (no VCPKG_ROOT needed) — 2 tests
cmake --preset release # optimized + tests on, symbols kept (profile/debug-friendly)
cmake --preset server-release # optimized + stripped, no tests (deployment-shaped)
cmake --preset windows-client # voicecat.dll for the C# WinForms client (Windows only)
cmake --preset apple-dev # libvoicecat.a for macOS Swift Package (scaffolding, macOS only)
```
Vcpkg triplet is auto-resolved from the host platform by
[`cmake/voicecat-toolchain.cmake`](cmake/voicecat-toolchain.cmake) — `x64-mingw-static` on
Windows, `x64-linux` on Linux, `arm64-osx` on Apple Silicon. See docs/building.md §1
"Platform matrix" for details.
One-time vcpkg setup:
```bash
# one-time: git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg && ./vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh (.bat on Windows)
export VCPKG_ROOT=/path/to/vcpkg # works on Linux / macOS / Windows
```
Other useful toggles (pass with `-D` at configure time):
```bash
cmake --preset dev -DVOICECAT_BUILD_SHARED=ON # build libvoicecat as a .dll/.so/.dylib (for the C# client)
cmake --preset dev -DVOICECAT_BUILD_SERVER=OFF # core + tools only
cmake --preset dev -DVOICECAT_BUILD_TESTS=OFF
```
Formatting: `clang-format` config is `.clang-format` (Google base, 100 cols, 4-space).
```bash
git ls-files '*.cpp' '*.h' | xargs clang-format -i
```

## Architecture at a glance
Full detail: [`docs/architecture.md`](docs/architecture.md). The short version:
```
Swift (macOS/iOS) ─┐ ┌─ C# (Windows)
├──▶ libvoicecat (C ABI: voicecat.h) ◀──┤
voicecat-server ───┘ net · crypto · codec · protocol · └─ all UIs are thin
(links core) session · audio the core owns audio
```
- **One core, many faces.** Protocol, Opus, crypto, networking, jitter buffer, and mixing
live once in C++. Clients call the **C ABI** (`core/include/voicecat.h`); the server links
the same core, so framing/crypto never drift between ends.
- **Two transports.** TCP + **TLS 1.3** (control, protobuf `Envelope`) and UDP + **exported-key
ChaCha20-Poly1305 AEAD** (media, fixed binary voice frame). Encryption is mandatory.
- **Threading.** Real-time audio threads never allocate/lock/block; they exchange data with
the net thread via lock-free ring buffers; a worker pool absorbs blocking work.

## Keeping track of progress
**[`PROGRESS.md`](PROGRESS.md) is the living status file.** When you finish a task, check it
off there and note the next step, so the next agent can pick up instantly. Treat it as part of
the work, not an afterthought — update it in the same commit as the code.
---
## House rules (hard constraints)
- **A clean compile is the floor, not the goal.** "Done" = the milestone's observable exit
criterion in [`docs/roadmap.md`](docs/roadmap.md) passes (e.g. M1 = two `vccli` actually chat
over TLS). Encode it as a test. See [`AGENTS.md`](AGENTS.md).
- **No GPL/LGPL dependencies, ever** (closed-source redistribution is a goal). docs/tech-stack.md §5.
- **Encryption is mandatory** — never add a plaintext transport path. docs/security.md.
- **Real-time audio threads** never allocate, lock, or block. docs/architecture.md §3.
- **Keep docs + code in sync.** Changing a wire format (`voicecat.proto`) or the C ABI
(`voicecat.h`) is a deliberate, versioned act — update the doc in the same commit (protocol.md §8).
- Every commit must build (`cmake --build --preset dev`) and pass `ctest --preset dev`.
