Serialize capture transitions with touch forwarding.

Both paths set touchCaptureActive to false before cancelForwardedUsbTouches(). After the shortcut state becomes inactive, reportControllerTouch() can send a new event while cancellation snapshots or clears the pointer set. The new contact can then remain active on the host without a tracked ID.

Serialize capture transitions and reportControllerTouch() with one per-context lock. Keep forwarding blocked until cancellation and tracking cleanup finish.

Also applies to: 2495-2500

LiSendControllerTouchEvent moonlight-common-c source return codes

💡 Result:

The LiSendControllerTouchEvent function in moonlight-common-c returns integer values to indicate the outcome of the operation [1][2]. Based on the source implementation, the following return codes are relevant: - LI_ERR_UNSUPPORTED: This is returned if the host does not support controller touch events (i.e., the LI_FF_CONTROLLER_TOUCH_EVENTS flag is not set in the host's feature flags) [1][3]. - -1: This is returned if the function fails to allocate memory for the packet holder [1]. - -2: This is returned if the library has not been properly initialized [1]. - LBQ_SUCCESS (typically 0): This is returned when the event is successfully queued for transmission [1]. - LBQ_BOUND_EXCEEDED: This is returned if the input queue has reached its maximum size limit [1]. It is standard practice to check for host compatibility using LiGetHostFeatureFlags() and checking for the LI_FF_CONTROLLER_TOUCH_EVENTS flag before calling this function to avoid LI_ERR_UNSUPPORTED [4][3].

Commit touch-pointer state only when sendControllerTouchEvent() returns 0.

LiSendControllerTouchEvent() can return -1, -2, or LBQ_BOUND_EXCEEDED without queuing the packet. The current check treats these results as success. A failed release removes the pointer, and cancelForwardedUsbTouches() clears it unconditionally, so cleanup cannot retry. A failed DOWN still sets DualSenseController.TouchSlot.down, which suppresses a stationary MOVE. Retain failed releases and replay failed DOWN events. Keep LI_ERR_UNSUPPORTED as a terminal result.

sendControllerTouchEvent so forwarded pointer state is changed only when the
call returns 0; keep LI_ERR_UNSUPPORTED terminal, but retain state for other
failures so failed releases remain retryable and failed DOWN events can be
replayed. Ensure cancelForwardedUsbTouches preserves any pointer whose
cancellation send fails instead of clearing it unconditionally, and adjust the
associated DualSenseController.TouchSlot.down tracking so a failed DOWN does not
suppress a later stationary MOVE.
