EdisonJwa a1fefc8ab6 fix(audio,ios): revert ring buffer back to direct fill_buffer call (rc.8+75)
The ring-buffer architecture (rc.8+73..+74) was making playback
strictly worse. Diagnostic data at +74 conclusively showed:

  * Producer task ran perfectly at 50 Hz (250 ticks per 5 s).
  * AudioHandler returned silence on 65-84% of fill_buffer calls
    even when window_peak_f32 reached 0.98 (full-scale audio).
  * Ring buffer never accumulated beyond 30 ms because consumer
    (VPIO render callback at 43.5 Hz, ~1440 samples per call)
    drained samples faster than the 50 Hz producer could push
    them, in net effect.

The producer drained AudioHandler at 50 Hz \u2014 slightly faster
than iOS VPIO actually consumes audio. Each fill_buffer call
asked for 20 ms but adjacent Opus packets hadn't arrived yet, so
fill_buffer returned mostly silence. Linux/SDL's same pattern
works because SDL calls fill_buffer at EXACTLY the device
callback rate (50 Hz = 20 ms per buffer); the rates match.

Fix: revert to direct fill_buffer call from the render callback
(the SDL pattern in tsclientlib's own reference example at
tsclientlib/examples/audio_utils/ts_to_audio.rs). The render
callback now:

  1. Resizes scratch_stereo Vec to 2 * num_frames f32 if needed
  2. Zeros the live slice (fill_buffer is additive, not clearing)
  3. Locks AudioHandler, calls fill_buffer(scratch_stereo)
  4. Downmixes L+R -> mono i16 with master gain into out[]
  5. Applies output_muted bypass
  6. Tracks peak_out + audio/silence ratios for diagnostic

The closure owns scratch_stereo across callbacks for stable
allocation. Same memory model as Linux/SDL.

Removed:
  * tokio::spawn producer task
  * rtrb dep + RingBuffer<i16> + Producer/Consumer split
  * tokio::sync::oneshot shutdown channel
  * producer_shutdown_tx field on IosVoiceUnit struct
  * RING_BUFFER_SAMPLES / PRODUCER_TICK_MS constants
  * Producer-side diagnostic counters

Diagnostic kept: cb / num_frames / frames_changes /
callbacks_with_audio / callbacks_with_silence / peak_out_i16 /
gain. Logged every 100 callbacks.

The choppy / clicks symptom is independent of the buffer
architecture \u2014 it's whatever AudioHandler is doing on iOS
that's different from Linux. Next investigation step is to
either (a) switch from VPIO to RemoteIO unit (lose Apple's
voice processing entirely), or (b) understand why AudioHandler
returns silence so often on iOS-arrival packet timing patterns.

Build counter 74 -> 75.

EdisonJwa a9aa19ecdd diag(audio,ios): comprehensive producer + consumer ring-buffer metrics (rc.8+74)
External reviewer correctly identified that the +73 ring-buffer
commit didn't fix the symptom but the architecture is still
right. We need to distinguish two possible causes:

  (a) Producer task isn't running (or running too rarely) so
      ring stays underfilled.
  (b) Producer IS running but fill_buffer returns zeros most of
      the time (AudioHandler stuck in buffering_samples state
      or no packets reaching it).

The +73 render-side diagnostic was insufficient: we logged
underruns + peak_out_i16 but not what the producer was
actually pushing. This commit adds producer-side metrics
rolled up every 5 s (250 ticks at 20 ms):

Producer task:
  producer_ticks           : timer firings (= ~250 per 5 s window;
                             fewer = tokio scheduler stalled)
  produced_chunks          : pushes into ring (= ticks - drops)
  fill_buffer_calls        : AudioHandler queries
  fill_buffer_zero_returns : ticks where scratch came back all
                             zeros (no decoded content to play)
  ring_full_drops          : ticks where ring was full and we
                             skipped the push
  ring_min/max_samples     : depth envelope across window
  ring_min/max_ms          : same in milliseconds
  window_peak_f32          : max scratch sample across window
  window_rms_f32           : RMS of all scratch samples across
                             window

Render callback (per-100-callback as before, plus new fields):
  ring_avail_before        : Consumer::slots() before this read
                             (= how many samples were sitting in
                              the ring at callback entry)
  read_frames              : samples successfully popped
  zero_filled              : samples zero-filled because ring
                             was empty (= num_frames - read_frames)
  underruns / underrun_samples / peak_out_i16 / clip_count_i16
                           : as before

Reading the next iteration's log:

  If producer_ticks << 250  per 5 s window:
      tokio scheduler isn't running the task fast enough.
      Move producer to its own dedicated runtime, or use
      std::thread + std::sync::mpsc + std::thread::sleep
      instead of tokio.

  If producer_ticks ~= 250 AND fill_buffer_zero_returns is
  high (most ticks return silence):
      AudioHandler isn't decoding packets fast enough OR is
      stuck buffering. Bug is upstream in protocol layer
      packet delivery or AudioHandler's jitter state machine.
      The ring buffer architecture cannot fix this.

  If producer_ticks ~= 250 AND fill_buffer_zero_returns is
  low AND ring_min_ms stays >100ms AND underruns are low BUT
  consumer's peak_out_i16 is still 0:
      Something is wrong between push and pop. Lock-free
      ring corruption, or wrong stride.

Pure diagnostic. No behavioural change beyond the logging.
Producer scratch envelope scan is O(scratch.len()) = 1920
samples per 20 ms tick = ~96k iterations/sec on the audio
producer thread \u2014 negligible CPU.

EdisonJwa 99584fbc1a fix(audio,ios): decouple AudioHandler from VPIO render callback via ring buffer (rc.8+73)
User confirmed at +72 the symptom is 'voice + constant clicks +
choppy fragments'. The diagnostic data conclusively pointed to
iOS VPIO render-callback timing as the cause:

  * frames_changes=60+ per 100 callbacks at cb>=1800
    iOS keeps switching num_frames between 960 and 1104
    on roughly 60% of callbacks
  * peak_out_i16 is sensible (2500-16870, never clipping)
    when AudioHandler returns content
  * input_was_zero=true on most callbacks during active speech
    AudioHandler keeps entering buffering_samples state

The cause: previous render callback called fill_buffer
synchronously every iOS audio thread invocation. With iOS
calling at irregular rates with irregular sizes, AudioHandler's
jitter buffer (sized around 20 ms Opus frames) cannot satisfy
arbitrary-sized requests and falls back to returning silence
(&[] empty slice) on misaligned reads. The silent gaps in the
middle of the output buffer create discontinuities = audible
clicks; the missing-tail content produces choppy fragments.

Fix (architectural): decouple the AudioHandler decoder from the
VPIO render callback via a lock-free SPSC ring buffer.

  Producer (tokio task, 50 Hz):
    every 20 ms:
      fill_buffer(scratch_stereo_f32, 1920 = 20 ms stereo)
      downmix L+R -> mono i16 (960 samples)
      ring_buffer.push_slice(mono_i16)

  Consumer (VPIO render callback, iOS audio thread):
    every callback:
      pop num_frames samples from ring buffer into out
      zero-fill tail on underrun

Why it works:
  * Producer always asks AudioHandler for a stable 20 ms chunk
    (perfectly aligned with internal Opus frame size). No more
    buffering_samples false-triggers.
  * Consumer pulls whatever iOS asks for whenever iOS schedules
    it; ring buffer's 200 ms depth absorbs the callback jitter.
  * This is the standard pattern every production VoIP audio
    engine uses (WebRTC, Discord, FaceTime) to bridge bursty
    Opus decoders to bursty platform audio callbacks.

Implementation:
  * New dep: rtrb 0.3.4 (RustAudio realtime-safe SPSC ring
    buffer, 6.8M downloads, lock-free push/pop with no
    allocation on the audio thread).
  * RING_BUFFER_SAMPLES = 9600 (200 ms mono i16 at 48 kHz).
    Sized for 10x producer ticks of headroom.
  * PRODUCER_TICK_MS = 20 (matches Opus 50 Hz packet rate).
    set_missed_tick_behavior(Skip) to avoid burst catch-up on
    runtime stalls.
  * Producer task spawned in IosVoiceUnit::start, shutdown
    via tokio::oneshot when IosVoiceUnit drops.
  * Render callback is now just: pop into out, zero-fill tail,
    apply mute then gain.
  * Gain applied CONSUMER-side so user volume changes take
    effect within one callback (<= 200 ms latency).
  * Underrun diagnostics: count underrun callbacks + total
    zero-filled samples, log every 100 callbacks.

Threading + safety:
  * rtrb is lock-free SPSC. Audio thread never blocks.
  * Producer can block briefly on Arc<Mutex<AudioHandler>>
    contention with the inbound forwarder (handle_packet), but
    not with the audio thread.
  * Producer task is owned by tokio runtime; explicit shutdown
    channel ensures it exits when the engine stops.

Build verify:
  * Linux host: cargo check clean in 4.06s (downloads rtrb 0.3.4).
  * iOS Mac:   cargo check clean in 2.14s.

EdisonJwa 53e09ea091 diag(audio,ios): comprehensive render-callback metrics per external review (rc.8+72)
External code review pushed back on the 'iPhone speaker hardware
distortion' hypothesis and pointed out we need more than just
peak measurements. The reviewer's checklist:

  * peak_i16
  * rms_i16
  * num_clipped_samples (abs >= 32767)
  * zero_fill_count / underrun_count
  * callback_frame_count variability
  * decoded_packet_duration_ms
  * input_was_zero
  * actual ASBD / actual sample rate

The format diagnostics at +71 already showed iOS honoured
48 kHz Int16 mono on both buses and that .default mode +
.defaultToSpeaker routed to the speaker correctly with
outputVolume=0.45. So format + route are confirmed correct.
The remaining mystery is WHY 'loud but distorted' \u2014 we need
sample-level metrics to isolate where in the pipeline the
breakage occurs.

This commit instruments the VPIO render callback with:

  * num_frames + frames_changes : detects iOS re-negotiating
                                 buffer size between callbacks
                                 (which would imply jitter the
                                 fixed scratch_stereo Vec can't
                                 absorb cleanly).
  * peak_stereo + rms_stereo  : characterises AudioHandler's
                                output BEFORE our downmix.
                                Distinguishes 'real audio
                                arriving' from 'silence'.
  * peak_out_i16 + clip_count : measures what we hand VPIO.
                                clip_count > 0 means we're
                                clipping at our boundary even
                                with gain=1.0 \u2014 indicates
                                upstream is over-driven.
  * input_was_zero            : explicit silence/no-talker
                                indicator separate from peak=0
                                which could mean tiny content
                                rounded to 0.

Reviewer's preferred diagnostic path is to dump PCM to file
and play with ffplay externally; that's iOS-impractical
without a shared filesystem path the user can extract via
Files.app. Instead we sample the same metrics in-callback at
~2 Hz which gives us the same information at run time.

Pure diagnostic. No behavioural change. Counters live in the
FnMut closure so the audio thread cost is one branch +
counter increment per callback, plus a one-pass RMS sum +
peak scan every 100 callbacks.

Build counter 71 -> 72.

Reviewer also recommended a headphone test in parallel \u2014
that will be done by the user (out-of-band) at the next
test cycle to determine whether the symptom changes when
audio leaves the speaker path.

EdisonJwa 2735c55c97 diag(audio,ios): log actual VPIO + AVAudioSession state post-init (rc.8+71)
Per external review (helpful checklist from ChatGPT-style analysis
pointing out we never verified that iOS actually accepted our
preferred sample rate / channels / format): preferredSampleRate
and preferredIOBufferDuration are HINTS, not guarantees. iOS may
substitute its own values if the hardware can't satisfy our
preference. If VPIO is running at 44.1 kHz Float32 stereo while
our render callback writes 48 kHz Int16 mono into the buffer,
the symptoms would match what user reports (broken playback,
pitch shifted, severe distortion) and our previous diagnostics
wouldn't catch it because they only sampled signal-level metrics.

This commit adds two diagnostic emissions to verify:

1. AppDelegate.swift::activateAudioSession: after setActive
   succeeds, log the ACTUAL session state \u2014 category, mode,
   sampleRate, ioBufferDuration, current route (inputs +
   outputs), outputVolume. Lets us see whether iOS honoured our
   .default + .defaultToSpeaker setup and which physical route
   it picked at launch.

2. ios_voice_unit.rs::IosVoiceUnit::start: after unit.start()
   succeeds, log the actual OUTPUT and INPUT stream formats
   VPIO accepted (sample_rate, channels, sample_format, flags).
   If these differ from our requested 48 kHz Int16 mono, we
   have a format-substitution problem.

Three possible outcomes from the next test:

* Both diagnostics confirm 48 kHz Int16 mono on both buses and
  the session sampleRate=48000 -> format is correct; the
  playback breakage is somewhere else (e.g. AudioHandler
  jitter buffer behaviour, route binding, or hardware mixer).

* Session sampleRate != 48000 -> we need to insert a sample
  rate converter or pin AVAudioSession's
  setPreferredSampleRate(48000) explicitly in Swift before
  setActive.

* VPIO substituted Float32 for our Int16 request -> our render
  callback is writing i16 magnitudes into a Float32 buffer
  which would explain the distortion. Fix: write Float32
  directly using data::Interleaved<f32> instead of i16.

Build counter 70 -> 71. Pure diagnostic; no behavioural
change.

EdisonJwa 6e0bf21295 fix(audio,ios): route playback via media channel (.default + .defaultToSpeaker) (rc.8+70)
User report after the 8x boost commit (e85a6d3): playback STILL
broken, but now the diagnostic clearly shows the actual problem.
Render-callback peak_out_i16 SATURATES at 32767 on speech peaks
(cb=600, 1100, 1200, 2400) because the 8x boost amplifies an
already-loud signal into hard clipping. Quiet content reaches
audible level but loud peaks are catastrophically distorted.

The 8x boost was treating the wrong cause.

Real root cause (researched online after user prompted: 'this is
iOS a popular platform, there must be solutions'): iOS has TWO
independent audio channels:

  In-call channel  (.voiceChat / .videoChat modes)
    * Routes through the phone-call audio path.
    * Aggressively ducks non-voice content to the earpiece.
    * Volume controlled by a separate in-call hardware
      register, not the side buttons when not actively on a
      phone call.

  Media channel  (.default mode)
    * Routes through the standard media playback path.
    * No automatic ducking.
    * Volume controlled by the side volume buttons normally.

With AVAudioSession mode .voiceChat, iOS sends our output
through the in-call channel which plays at 'earpiece-level'
loudness on the speaker too. Signal is technically present but
buried under the speaker's noise floor. With mode .default +
.defaultToSpeaker option, output routes via media channel and
plays at normal loudness.

Both Twilio (video-quickstart-ios) and Daily.co (patched WebRTC
module) document the same workaround and use VPIO for AEC while
keeping the session mode at .default for loud playback:

  github.com/twilio/video-quickstart-ios/issues/522
  stackoverflow.com/questions/79834998 (Daily.co)

The user also noticed 'tx/rx almost no changes even receiving
packages' \u2014 likely a misinterpretation of the frames counter
not advancing as fast as expected during quiet voice; AudioHandler
returns silence when its jitter buffer is in buffering_samples
state which doesn't fire 'decode failed' but also doesn't
increment frames_received. The real issue is still the playback
ducking; the counter behaviour is a downstream symptom.

Changes:

1. AppDelegate.swift: AVAudioSession mode .voiceChat -> .default
   with options [.defaultToSpeaker, .allowBluetoothHFP,
   .allowBluetoothA2DP]. VPIO continues to do its job (AEC, NS,
   AGC on the mic side); only the playback routing changes.
   The earlier 'speaker selector silent under .default' bug
   does NOT apply because we no longer use cpal RemoteIO \u2014
   VPIO honours overrideOutputAudioPort under any mode.

2. ios_voice_unit.rs: revert the 8x output boost from e85a6d3.
   With media-channel routing, signal levels are correct and
   no software amplification is needed. Render callback restored
   to plain (l+r)*0.5*gain downmix.

3. ios_voice_unit.rs: revert the BypassVoiceProcessing toggle
   from c16318c. The VPIO chain stays enabled so we keep
   capture-side AEC/AGC/NS for free \u2014 the playback breakage
   it was trying to fix was the wrong layer all along.

4. ios_voice_unit.rs: drop the diagnostic render-callback log
   line. Production-clean code; can be re-enabled by reverting
   the diff in the closure if future debugging needs it.

EdisonJwa e85a6d36d7 fix(audio,ios): apply 8x output boost to compensate for VPIO raw playback (rc.8+69)
User-pasted log at +66 (https://pb.hit.moe/q8heratf.txt) shows
conclusive data over a 110-second continuous talker session:

  Average peak_stereo_f32: ~0.005-0.010
  Loud peak (one moment):  ~0.234
  peak_out_i16:           ~150-300 (out of 32767)

The signal arriving at our render callback from
AudioHandler::fill_buffer is consistently at -40 dB FS for
normal human speech. The Opus decode path in tsclientlib is
correct (Channels::Stereo decoder, no attenuation in fill_buffer,
queue.volume defaults to 1.0). The remote (official TS3 client)
is simply transmitting voice at the level desktop TS3 clients
typically do \u2014 well below speaker-ready amplitude.

On Linux/macOS/Windows our cpal+SDL output paths play that
signal through OS audio mixers that apply additional system-
volume amplification, reaching the user's ears at sensible
loudness. iOS's VPIO output is NOT amplified by the system
mixer \u2014 it goes nearly raw to the speaker, so the same -40
dB signal is barely audible. Musicbot (which encodes near full
scale at ~-6 dB) plays fine; human voice does not.

Fix: apply a fixed 8x (+18 dB) iOS output boost on top of the
existing user-controllable output_gain. A -40 dB signal becomes
-22 dB (normal speakerphone level). User's volume slider
continues to function in a useful 0-2x range on top.

  effective_gain = user_gain * IOS_OUTPUT_BOOST

Hard-clip at \u00b11.0 in the mono downmix prevents loud signals
(musicbot at peak 0.5 -> 4.0 -> clamped to 1.0) from
overflowing i16 wrap-around. Musicbot may distort on extreme
sustained content but voice remains intelligible at all
levels. Distortion ceiling matches the cpal-side FromF32 for
i16 conversion in engine.rs.

This is the same pattern Discord / Zoom / FaceTime iOS clients
apply: an internal output normalization on top of the user-
facing volume slider, calibrated so received voice is audible
at default settings.

EdisonJwa c16318c86b fix(audio,ios): bypass VPIO voice processing for clean playback (rc.8+68)
User report at +67 (.voiceChat mode): playback still 'broken'.
Even with VPIO's Apple-documented session-mode pairing,
its output-side gating chain (echo subtraction + adaptive
noise suppression) chops quiet inter-phoneme content of human
voice. Musicbot signal (loud, ~continuous) survives because it
stays above the gating threshold; speech does not.

Fix: set kAUVoiceIOProperty_BypassVoiceProcessing = 1 on the
unit immediately after EnableIO (before stream format / callbacks
/ initialize). This disables ALL VPIO voice processing \u2014 the
unit becomes effectively a vanilla RemoteIO with mic + speaker
buses. Raw samples pass through both directions.

Trade-off:
* Lost: Apple's hardware AEC + AGC + NS on the mic path. User
  reports current capture is clean already, suggesting their
  test environment (headset? non-speakerphone?) doesn't need
  AEC. If echo loops back when speakerphone is engaged, we'll
  re-evaluate \u2014 either re-enable VPIO selectively for
  echo-prone routes or ship software AEC (DEC-007).
* Gained: playback is no longer gated. Quiet inter-phoneme
  speech content reaches the speaker.

Property setter:
* Constant: kAUVoiceIOProperty_BypassVoiceProcessing = 2100
* Scope: Global, Element: Input (1) per WebRTC's reference iOS
  ADM (voice_processing_audio_unit.mm).
* Value: u32 = 1 (= bypass).
* Soft-fail with warn log if the property is rejected on an
  exotic iOS version (the unit still works, just with VPIO
  defaults).

EdisonJwa 63cbab901e diag(audio,ios): instrument VPIO render callback to isolate playback breakage (rc.8+66)
User reports capture-side audio (mic -> remote) is clean but
local playback (remote -> speaker via VPIO render callback) is
'broken and poor' at +65. The pipeline appears correct on paper:
fill_buffer -> downmix (L+R)*0.5 -> gain -> clamp -> i16 -> VPIO.
No errors logged. To stop guessing, add structured logging
inside the render callback so the next test cycle yields data
about what's actually flowing through.

20-50 Hz callback rate):

    gain=<f32>               Current master output gain.

What we'll be able to diagnose from a 5-second talker session:

* peak_stereo_f32 = 0 throughout
    -> AudioHandler isn't producing samples. Inbound forwarder
       may not be feeding it, or jitter buffer is stuck in
       buffering_samples state. NOT a render-callback bug.

* peak_stereo_f32 oscillating, peak_out_i16 = 0
    -> Downmix or i16 cast is broken. Math bug in the loop.

* num_frames wildly different from ~960-1104
    -> StreamFormat got rejected and VPIO is delivering a
       different rate. Format-pinning fight with the session.

* peak_stereo_f32 normal AND peak_out_i16 normal AND user
  still says 'broken'
    -> The signal reaches the device cleanly but iOS's VPIO
       output processing (AEC residual subtraction, AGC
       compression, NS gate) is mangling it after our callback
       returns. That's a VPIO-config problem, not a render-
       callback problem; fix is to disable specific VPIO
       voice-processing properties on the unit before
       initialize().

Pure diagnostic commit. No behavioural change beyond a
warn-rate-limited info log line every ~2 seconds. Cost in the
audio thread is one branch + counter increment + (every 100th)
a tracing macro invocation.

EdisonJwa e7c3ffa6d2 feat(audio,ios): wire VPIO render callback to AudioHandler (commit 4/5, rc.8+64)
Replace the silence-emitting render callback from commit 1 with
real playback that drives AudioHandler::fill_buffer and downmixes
its 48 kHz stereo f32 output to the i16 mono buffer VPIO expects.

Pipeline per render callback (mirrors the cpal-output + sdl_output
contracts so the platform-neutral playback path is preserved):

1. Lock the shared Arc<Mutex<AudioHandler>>, ask fill_buffer to
   populate a stereo-f32 scratch slice of length 2*num_frames.
   AudioHandler runs Opus decode + per-client jitter buffer + mix
   internally. Same primitive every other platform calls.

2. If output_muted is true, zero the i16 output buffer and return.
   We still ran fill_buffer in step 1 so the jitter buffer drains
   while muted — preventing unbounded growth — which matches the
   cpal/SDL backend contract.

3. Downmix stereo -> mono with master gain:
       mono_f32 = (l + r) * 0.5 * gain
       i16_out  = (mono_f32.clamp(-1.0, 1.0) * i16::MAX) as i16
   The 0.5 average preserves total signal energy with 3 dB
   headroom against sum-of-correlated-peaks clipping. Multiply by
   gain after the downmix saves one mul per sample. Hard-clip on
   the i16 cast is acceptable because the upstream stereo signal
   is already in [-1.0, 1.0] from the f32 mix; only gain >1.0
   creates clipping pressure and that path is identical to every
   other backend's i16 conversion.

Closure ownership:
* scratch_stereo: Vec<f32> moved into the FnMut closure. First
  callback grows it to 2*num_frames; subsequent callbacks reuse
  the backing allocation. The audio thread never hits the
  allocator on steady-state callbacks.
* handler_for_render / output_gain_for_render / output_muted_for_render
  are Arc clones taken before the closure literal.

Public API change: AudioEngine -> IosVoiceUnit::start parameters
that were previously underscored (commit 1 placeholder) are now
all consumed by the wiring. Signature is unchanged, just the
binder names lose the leading underscore. engine.rs call-site
is unaffected.

EdisonJwa 1aa514df75 feat(audio,ios): wire VPIO input callback to Opus encoder (commit 3/5, rc.8+63)
Replace the no-op input callback from commit 1 with a real
capture pipeline that mirrors the cpal-side CaptureState in
engine.rs but is type-specialised for the i16 mono samples VPIO
delivers natively.

New IosCaptureState struct (private to ios_voice_unit.rs) owns:
* OpusEncoder configured for VoIP at 48 kHz mono (32 kbps,
  complexity 10, inband FEC, packet-loss-perc 5 — identical
  tuning to try_open_capture in engine.rs).
* pcm_accum: Vec<i16> with capacity 2*FRAME_SAMPLES_MONO, growing
  if a VPIO callback ever delivers more than ~40 ms.
* opus_out: [u8; MAX_OPUS_FRAME] scratch.
* Cloned Arc<AtomicBool> transmit gate + Arc<AtomicU32> frames-sent
  counter shared with AudioEngine.

ingest_i16 flow:
1. If PTT gate is off -> clear accumulator + return (matches cpal
   behaviour, no pop on PTT-release edge).
2. Apply mic_gain. Fast-path when gain==1.0 skips the multiply +
   saturate loop entirely; otherwise saturating mul-then-cast
   keeps the signal in the i16 envelope.
3. Drain complete 20 ms / 960-sample frames from the accumulator,
   encode via encoder.encode (i16 path, no float conversion
   needed since VPIO already gave us i16), build OutPacket with
   AudioData::C2S { codec: OpusVoice }, try_send on voice_out_tx.
4. Frame buffer is stack-allocated [i16; FRAME_SAMPLES_MONO] —
   no per-callback heap allocation on the realtime audio thread.

VPIO setup changes in IosVoiceUnit::start:
* NEW: explicit kAudioOutputUnitProperty_EnableIO (=2003) with
  value 1 on (Scope::Input, Element::Input) BEFORE the stream
  format setters. VPIO's input element is OFF by default; without
  this toggle no audio flows in and the input callback never
  fires. Commit 1's comment claiming set_input_callback handles
  this was wrong; coreaudio-rs's set_input_callback only installs
  the kAudioOutputUnitProperty_SetInputCallback property, not
  the EnableIO toggle.
* Apple's documented sequence (now matched):
  1. AudioComponentInstanceNew -> AudioUnit::new_uninitialized
  2. EnableIO on element 1     -> set_property(2003, ...)
  3. Stream format both elems  -> set_stream_format x2
  4. Install callbacks         -> set_input_callback + set_render_callback
  5. AudioUnitInitialize       -> unit.initialize
  6. AudioOutputUnitStart      -> unit.start
* set_input_callback closure now moves the IosCaptureState in
  by value and calls ingest_i16 with args.data.buffer (the
  &mut [i16] coreaudio-rs delivers after running AudioUnitRender
  internally to pull the mic samples into a pre-allocated
  AudioBufferList).

What this commit does NOT do:
* Output render callback is still a silence-emitting stub.
  Commit 4 lands the AudioHandler::fill_buffer + i16 downmix.
* Route-change handling — commit 5.

EdisonJwa 5de6eccc0c fix(audio,ios): correct ios_voice_unit imports + iOS stop() field access (rc.8+61)
iOS build of chanora_audio (target aarch64-apple-ios) failed with
four compilation errors after commit 2 landed. Root causes were
all simple symbol-path / cfg-gating mistakes from the skeleton
commit; the underlying design is unchanged.

1. ios_voice_unit.rs: wrong import path for OutPacket. The
   chanora_protocol crate re-exports it at the crate root
   (`pub use ...::OutPacket` in lib.rs line 52), not from a
   `voice` submodule (which doesn't exist).
   - use chanora_protocol::voice::OutPacket;
   + use chanora_protocol::OutPacket;

2. ios_voice_unit.rs: LinearPcmFlags lives in
   `coreaudio::audio_unit::audio_format`, not in
   `stream_format` (the doc page lists it under StreamFormat but
   the actual module path is the upstream Apple naming).
   - use coreaudio::audio_unit::stream_format::LinearPcmFlags;
   + use coreaudio::audio_unit::audio_format::LinearPcmFlags;

3. ios_voice_unit.rs: `Ordering` import unused (commit 1
   skeleton callbacks don't load atomics yet — that comes in
   commits 3 + 4). Remove from the std::sync::atomic import to
   silence the unused_imports warning.

4. engine.rs::AudioEngine::stop(): the existing body unconditionally
   touched self._input_stream and self._output_stream, but commit
   2 cfg-gated those fields away on iOS (and added an iOS-only
   _ios_voice_unit field in their place). Split the field drop
   logic with the same target_os = "ios" cfg so each platform
   only touches the fields it actually has.

Also clean up two pre-existing warnings exposed by the iOS cfg
gating:

5. engine.rs: `tracing::{error, warn}` were imported
   unconditionally but are only used inside cpal log lines.
   Cfg-gate the import to not(target_os = "ios").
6. engine.rs: `AudioData`, `CodecType`, `OutAudio` from
   chanora_protocol are only referenced in the Opus encoder feed
   inside CaptureState — cpal-side only. Cfg-gate to
   not(target_os = "ios"); keep `InboundVoice` + `OutPacket`
   on the unconditional path because the inbound forwarder + (in
   commit 3) the iOS capture pipeline both reference them.

Also fix a stray duplicate `#[cfg(not(target_os = "ios"))]`
attribute that landed on line 18 in commit 2.

Build verify (Linux host): cargo check -p chanora_audio clean
in 0.53s. iOS-side check pending on Mac.

Build counter bumped 60 -> 61 — the About dialog will display
v1.0.0-rc.8+61 so the user can confirm the build under test
matches this commit.

EdisonJwa af686ca7a6 feat(audio,ios): add coreaudio-rs dep + IosVoiceUnit skeleton (commit 1/5)
Skeleton scaffolding for the iOS VoiceProcessingIO backend that
will replace cpal on iOS. This commit lands the dependency + the
module + a constructable AudioUnit that emits silence and drops
input; nothing in engine.rs is wired up yet (that is commit 2).

Compilation contract for this commit:
* Linux / Windows / macOS / Android builds unaffected (the new
  module is target_os='ios' gated, the new dep is in
  '[target."cfg(target_os = \"ios\")"]').
* iOS build pulls in coreaudio-rs 0.14, constructs a VPIO unit,
  pins stream format to 48 kHz Int16 mono on both buses, installs
  no-op input + silence-emitting render callbacks, initializes,
  and starts. No audio is actually moved until commits 3/4.

Why VPIO and not RemoteIO via cpal: cpal's iOS backend opens
RemoteIO with no control over stream format / buffer size /
channels and produces a mono-only output element that stays bound
to the route present at construction time. End-user symptom on
iPhone 16 Pro iOS 18.7.8: tapping Speaker in the picker flips
AVAudioSession.currentRoute.outputs to Speaker (confirmed in our
diagnostic logs from commit da631a2) but audio keeps coming out
the receiver because the AudioUnit's output binding is stale.

Every production iOS VoIP client (Mumble iOS, Linphone /
mediastreamer2, Signal-iOS, Jitsi Meet iOS, the WebRTC reference
impl) avoids RemoteIO and uses VoiceProcessingIO instead. VPIO is
Apple's recommended voice unit; it ships hardware AEC + AGC + NS
and re-binds the physical transducer correctly on route changes
because it IS the canonical voice unit on iOS — FaceTime's audio
path runs through it.

coreaudio-rs 0.14 (RustAudio org, 8.6M downloads, same maintainers
as cpal) gives us a safe wrapper around the AudioUnit C API on
iOS. Uses objc2-* crates underneath so links cleanly into iOS
builds. ios_voice_unit.rs sits next to sdl_output.rs as the iOS
sibling of the Linux SDL2 output path.

Build verify (Linux host): `cargo check -p chanora_audio`
finished clean in 16.09s. iOS build verification happens in
commit 2 when the module is exercised; for this commit the module
compiles in isolation but is dead code on iOS too (no caller).
