📄 Description

Improvements to the core runtime path to closely better follow the official Steam puck, including USB/reliability handling, controller-backed identity and bond management, haptics/PCM output, and Steam HID transport.

Fixes #61 #192 #214 #218 #258
Steam Haptics Player isn't absolutely perfect just yet, though. Or maybe my ears deceive me.

Changes:

Uses the steady-state bare E3 polling path at the fixed controller polling cadence.
Serializes feature queries and haptic traffic per controller so replies remain associated with the correct host request.
Adds bounded high-resolution RF response timing using TIMER3/PPI.
Adds the Steam HID interrupt-OUT path required by HardwareUpdater while retaining SET_REPORT compatibility and the existing Steam USB identity. This fixes the issue with Steam being unable to alert you to a Puck or Controller update.
Expands Steam haptic handling, including rumble shaping, PCM/output processing, autonomous-pad control, reconnect safety, and stuck-rumble protection.
Keeps Lizard HID transport behavior separate from the Steam interrupt-OUT path.
Preserves bond/controller identity behavior across the updated transport.
Suppresses the complete mode-switch chord from the host-facing report while continuing to forward partial combinations normally.
Hardens RF cold-start behavior, USB startup, watchdog/reset handling, callback-safe logging, and suspend/resume wake behavior.
Routes haptic and PCM OUTPUT reports to the correct live controller. Before, if you had multiple controllers active on the puck, like for a co-op game, it would at times, albeit rarely, route haptics to the wrong controller.
