[0.2.2] - 2026-06-28

⬆️ Update download now shows progress bar (percentage + linear indicator)
📦 Fixed zip extraction — uses .NET ZipFile instead of unreliable PowerShell Expand-Archive
🔧 Update no longer silently fails on paths with spaces
🔁 App now properly restarts after update

🐛 Host-side capture_active always false due to pending_offer consumed in chronodesk_accept() before Connected event — now uses explicit is_host flag
🔧 Default signaling server address set to 144.24.201.196:21116 (Oracle Cloud)

⬆️ Auto-update checker — checks GitHub Releases on startup, prompts user to update
📦 Automatic update flow — downloads zip, extracts, restarts app silently

🆔 Persistent 9-digit peer ID system (stored in %APPDATA%/chronodesk/id)
🎨 Single-screen AnyDesk-like Flutter UX — peer ID display, connect field, remote screen view
🔗 Raw C FFI bridge with event queue (JSON Rust→Flutter), RGBA frame buffer, accept/deny flow
📨 Connection request dialog (accept/deny incoming connections from Flutter)
:frame_photo: Remote screen rendering via ui.decodeImageFromPixels + RawImage (30 FPS polling)
▶️ SendMessage transport command for sending input/data channel messages from FFI
📡 ICE candidate forwarding from WebRTC to signaling client via signaling_tx channel
📦 ffi Dart package dependency for calloc/NativeUtf8 helpers

♻️ Rewrote src/ffi.rs — full integration of transport, signaling, capture, encoding in single event loop
♻️ Rewrote chronodesk_flutter/lib/src/screens/home_screen.dart — single-screen UX (replaces separate host/viewer screens)
♻️ Rewrote chronodesk_flutter/lib/src/ffi/native.dart — all 12 FFI functions bound
🔧 Fixed src/network/transport.rs — SDP routing to signaling client instead of internal loopback
🔧 Simplified chronodesk_flutter/lib/src/app.dart — single route
📖 Updated README with new architecture diagram, FFI-based flow, updated project structure

📡 WebSocket signaling server with peer registration, SDP relay, and ICE candidate forwarding
💻 Screen capture module using xcap with DXGI support on Windows, multi-monitor, and 64×64 tile dirty rectangle detection
📶 WebRTC P2P transport with ICE/STUN, data channel communication, and signaling client integration
📹 Video encoding pipeline with JPEG (default) and optional H.264 via FFmpeg (NVENC/QSV/AMF)
🐭 Input injection module using enigo for cross-platform mouse and keyboard simulation
📦 Binary protocol for data channel messaging (video frames, input events, clipboard, ping/pong)
🔗 C FFI exports (start_host, start_client) for Flutter integration via flutter_rust_bridge
🎨 Flutter UI scaffold with three screens: Home, Host (screen sharing), and Viewer (remote connection)
🏗️ Modular project structure with src/capture, src/network, src/video, src/input, and more
✅ CI pipeline with GitHub Actions (check, build, test on Ubuntu/Windows/macOS)
