* feat(text_injection): add RemoteDesktop portal injection backend Wayland offers exactly one sanctioned key-injection path: org.freedesktop.portal.RemoteDesktop's NotifyKeyboardKeysym. It reaches native clients on compositors with no input-method-v2 bridge, works from inside the Flatpak sandbox without /dev/uinput or a helper daemon, and delivers keysyms so non-US layouts survive -- unlike ydotool's evdev keycodes. RemoteDesktopPortal is a synchronous client over a dedicated worker thread holding a private bus connection and GLib context, which keeps Request::Response delivery deterministic. Sessions are created lazily on first use so startup probing only reads the interface version; v2 portal sessions persist a restore token (mode 0600 under data_dir) so the permission prompt appears once. Backend selection now prefers the portal on Wayland: it is probed at runtime ahead of ydotool/wtype/xdotool in autodetection, is pinnable via VOCALINUX_FORCE_BACKEND=portal or text_injection.backend, and demotes to the previous order on runtime failure. Flatpak still needs --device=all for evdev hotkeys, but uinput is only a fallback path now. Closes #750 * fix(text_injection): resolve Greptile findings on RemoteDesktop portal injection - Move persist_mode/restore_token to SelectDevices options (portal v2 sends them there, not CreateSession); a bad token is ignored rather than sinking the session, so drop the stale-token retry paths that could issue a second Start after a user cancel - Track delivered units on RemoteDesktopPortalError so Wayland fallbacks retry only the undelivered tail instead of retyping the prefix (text chars, backspace taps, shortcut steps) - Give queued portal jobs a single deadline budget across CreateSession/SelectDevices/Start waits; on submit timeout the job is cancelled via a Gio.Cancellable plus abort checkpoints so the worker cannot keep emitting keys after the caller gave up - Close sessions whose Start never succeeded - Release held shortcut modifiers on mid-step failure - Skip the portal probe when an installed wtype/ydotool backend is explicitly pinned - Type annotations on the new signatures and touched tests --------- Co-authored-by: Jatin K Malik <jatinkrmalik@gmail.com>
