fix(render): keep the whole SDL lifecycle on the render thread
The receiver window never appeared on Wayland. Two causes: - The window was created on the main thread while event pumping and presenting ran on the render thread. SDL's Wayland backend requires a window's creation, event processing, drawing, and destruction to happen on one thread; a cross-thread surface simply never maps, with no error reported. The renderer now lives entirely on the render thread, with a condition-variable handshake so ReceiverPipeline:: start() still reports renderer failures and timeouts. - On Wayland a window is invisible until the first render commit, so even a healthy receiver showed nothing while waiting for a stream. The renderer presents one blank frame at init: the window is visible immediately, black until video arrives. Also log 'stream started (WxH)' when the first frame decodes and the first rendering failure, which is what made the remaining debugging observable. Validated headlessly end-to-end: a synthetic solid-color RTP feed drove the real receiver over localhost UDP; the window mapped, reported 'stream started (320x240)', and a grim screenshot of the window region showed the fed color (V=198, SATAVG=74 during the red feed). Phase 5 marked complete in docs/PHASES.md; current phase is now Phase 6.

- **Display fixes after the receiver window never appeared**: (1) SDL must
|

own the window from one thread — creating it on main and pumping/presenting
|
||||
from the render thread left the Wayland surface unmapped; the renderer now
|
||||
creates/polls/presents/destroys entirely on the render thread (with a
|
||||
start() init handshake). (2) Wayland windows are invisible until the first
|
||||
render commit, so the renderer presents a blank frame at init (visible
|
||||
black window while waiting). (3) The receiver logs `stream started (WxH)`
|
||||
on the first decoded frame and any first present failure.
|
||||
- **Phase 5 validated end-to-end** (headless, without the portal): a
|
||||
synthetic RTP feed of solid red/green frames drove the real receiver over
|
||||
localhost UDP; the window mapped, logged `stream started (320x240)`, and a
|
||||
`grim` screenshot of the window region showed the fed color (V=198,
|
||||
SAT=74 during the red feed) — decoded video visibly rendering. The user's
|
||||
real sender run showed capture→encode→send working (1 IDR + 12 P-frames,
|
||||
IDR capped at ~20KB by the VBV).
|
||||
- **Automated validation**: `meson test` 4/4 — new `udp loopback` test
|
||||
encodes synthetic frames, packetizes, sends over a real localhost UDP
|
||||
socket, depacketizes, and decodes 10/10 frames with correct dimensions.
