## Description
Oops.. another massive PR 🥲
This PR contains multiple improvements and changes.
Firstly, thanks gst-wayland-display's PR
[here](https://github.com/games-on-whales/gst-wayland-display/pull/20).
NVIDIA path is now way more efficient than before.
Secondly, adding controller support was a massive hurdle, requiring me
to start another project
[vimputti](https://github.com/DatCaptainHorse/vimputti) - which allows
simple virtual controller inputs in isolated containers. Well, it's not
simple, it includes LD_PRELOAD shims and other craziness, but the
library API is simple to use..
Thirdly, split runner image into 3 separate stages, base + build +
runtime, should help keep things in check in future, also added GitHub
Actions CI builds for v2 to v4 builds (hopefully they pass..).
Fourth, replaced the runner's runtime Steam patching with better and
simpler bubblewrap patch, massive thanks to `games-on-whales` to
figuring it out better!
Fifth, relay for once needed some changes, the new changes are still
mostly WIP, but I'll deal with them next time I have energy.. I'm spent
now. Needed to include these changes as relay needed a minor change to
allow rumble events to flow back to client peer.
Sixth.. tons of package updates, minor code improvements and the usual.

## Description
Works in apptainer now.. podman is still the goat since apptainer needs
docker treatment and even more..
- Added container detection so podman can be used to it's fullest, the
non-sane ones are handled separately..
- Added video bit-depth option, cuz AV1 and 10-bit encoding go well
together.
- Some other package updates to nestri-server.
- General tidying up of scripts to make multi-container-engine handling
less of a pain.
- Updated old wireplumber lua script to new json format.
Further changes:
- Removed unused debug arg from nestri-server.
- Moved configs to config file folder rather than keeping them in
containerfile.
- Improved audio configs, moved some into wireplumber to keep things
tidy.
- Bit better arg handling in nestri-server.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Optional 10‑bit video support and auto‑launch of an app after display
setup.
* **Changes**
* Standardized runtime/user env to NESTRI_* with updated home/cache
paths and explicit LANG; password generation now logged.
* Improved container/GPU detection and startup logging; reduced blanket
root usage during startup; SSH setup surfaced.
* WirePlumber/PipeWire moved to JSON configs; low‑latency clock and
loopback audio policies added; audio capture defaults to PipeWire.
* **Chores**
* GStreamer/libp2p dependency upgrades and Rust toolchain pinned; NVIDIA
driver capability exposed.

## Description
Whew..
- Steam can now run without namespaces using live-patcher (because
Docker..)
- Improved NVIDIA GPU selection and handling
- Pipeline tests for GPU picking logic
- Optimizations and cleanup all around
- SSH (by default disabled) for easier instance debugging.
- CachyOS' Proton because that works without namespaces (couldn't figure
out how to enable automatically in Steam yet..)
- Package updates and partial removal of futures (libp2p is going to
switch to Tokio in next release hopefully)

## Summary by CodeRabbit
- **New Features**
- SSH server can now be enabled within the container for remote access
when configured.
- Added persistent live patching for Steam runtime entrypoints to
improve compatibility with namespace-less applications.
- Enhanced GPU selection with multi-GPU support and PCI bus ID matching
for improved hardware compatibility.
- Improved encoder selection by runtime testing of video encoders for
better reliability.
- Added WebSocket transport support in peer-to-peer networking.
- Added flexible compositor and application launching with configurable
commands and improved socket handling.
- **Bug Fixes**
- Addressed NVIDIA-specific GStreamer issues by setting new environment
variables.
- Improved error handling and logging for GPU and encoder selection.
- Fixed process monitoring to handle patcher restarts and added cleanup
logic.
- Added GStreamer cache clearing workaround for Wayland socket failures.
- **Improvements**
- Real-time logging of container processes to standard output and error
for easier monitoring.
- Enhanced process management and reduced CPU usage in protocol handling
loops.
- Updated dependency versions for greater stability and feature support.
- Improved audio capture defaults and expanded audio pipeline support.
- Enhanced video pipeline setup with conditional handling for different
encoder APIs and DMA-BUF support.
- Refined concurrency and lifecycle management in protocol messaging for
increased robustness.
- Consistent namespace usage and updated crate references across the
codebase.
- Enhanced SSH configuration with key management, port customization,
and startup verification.
- Improved GPU and video encoder integration in pipeline construction.
- Simplified error handling and consolidated write operations in
protocol streams.
- Removed Ludusavi installation from container image and updated package
installations.
- **Other**
- Minor formatting and style changes for better code readability and
maintainability.
- Docker build context now ignores `.idea` directory to streamline
builds.

## Description
- Improves latency for runner
- Fixes bugs in entrypoint bash scripts
- Package updates, gstreamer 1.26 and workaround for it
Modified runner workflow to hopefully pull latest cachyos base image on
nightlies. This will cause a full build but for nightlies should be
fine?
Also removed the duplicate key-down workaround as we've enabled ordered
datachannels now. Increased retransmit to 2 from 0 to see if it'll help
with some network issues.
Marked as draft as I need to do bug testing still, I'll do it after
fever calms down 😅
