feat: add screen recording capability

[AlexAlves87]

Summary

Adds screen.record, screen.record.start, and screen.record.stop to ScreenCapability. screen.record does a fixed-duration capture and returns a base64 MP4. The start/stop pair allows session-based recording with a recordingId so the caller controls when to stop.

What changed

• ScreenCapability: three new commands with events and arg parsing
• ScreenRecordingService: WinRT capture (D3D11CaptureFramePool), BGRA→NV12 conversion, MediaTranscoder with hardware and software fallback
• NodeService: wired to the new capability events

Testing

• ./build.ps1
• dotnet test ./tests/OpenClaw.Shared.Tests/OpenClaw.Shared.Tests.csproj --no-restore
• dotnet test ./tests/OpenClaw.Tray.Tests/OpenClaw.Tray.Tests.csproj --no-restore
• Manual: called screen.record from a connected agent, received valid MP4

Notes

OpenClaw.Shared.Tests currently has 8 pre-existing failures on this branch related to culture-sensitive number formatting. These are unrelated to this change and are covered by a separate fix.

Welcome, @AlexAlves87! Screen recording is a great capability addition — the overall approach is solid, and the test coverage is excellent (16 new tests covering all three commands including edge cases). A few observations worth addressing before merge:

---

🚨 BuildRawVideoStream uses .Wait() on a WinRT async

writer.StoreAsync().AsTask().Wait();

DataWriter.StoreAsync() is a WinRT async operation. Even though EncodeToMp4Async is static and called with await (so it runs on a thread pool thread), this is a sync-over-async pattern that can be brittle. A cleaner approach:

private static async Task(InMemoryRandomAccessStream) BuildRawVideoStreamAsync(
    List(byte[]) frames, int width, int height)
{
    var stream = new InMemoryRandomAccessStream();
    var writer = new DataWriter(stream);
    foreach (var frame in frames)
        writer.WriteBytes(BgraToNv12(frame, width, height));
    await writer.StoreAsync();
    stream.Seek(0);
    return stream;
}

---

⚠️ Memory footprint at max duration

At the default cap of 60 s × 10 fps × 1080p BGRA, the in-memory frame buffer can reach ~400 MB before encoding. At 60 fps that's ~2.4 GB. Consider documenting recommended limits in the capability's command help/schema, or lowering MaxDurationMs or adding a per-frame size warning.

---

🧹 Minor: ScreenRecordResult.Fps is float but always populated from int

All paths set Fps = fps where fps comes from Math.Clamp(args.Fps, MinFps, MaxFps) — which returns int. The float type is slightly misleading and the tests assert .GetInt32() on the serialized value, which would fail for fractional fps. Could just be int.

---

🔴 Pre-existing test failures on this branch

The PR description mentions 8 culture-sensitive number formatting failures. These should be resolved (or confirmed unrelated to this PR's changes with a green CI run) before merge, so maintainers have a clean signal.

---

✅ What looks great

• Hardware → software MediaTranscoder fallback is smart and robust
• Math.Clamp guards on fps and durationMs are good defensive programming
• ActiveSession.StopAsync() cleanly cancels the frame-capture loop via CancellationTokenSource
• The event-driven wiring into NodeService fits perfectly with the existing capability pattern
• ScreenRecordingService.Dispose() properly iterates and disposes all live sessions

Looking forward to seeing this merged! Let me know if you have any questions.

Addressing the Repo Assist observations — all three issues are resolved in commit f4dbc52:

🚨 BuildRawVideoStream .Wait() — Fixed. BuildRawVideoStream no longer exists. The entire encoding pipeline was replaced with MediaStreamSource + PrepareMediaStreamSourceTranscodeAsync, which also fixed the root cause of the Transcode failed: Unknown error that was blocking screen recording entirely.

⚠️ Memory footprint — Fixed. Added MaxFrameBufferBytes = 500 MB constant with an early-stop guard in both capture loops (RecordAsync and ActiveSession.RunAsync). When the cap is hit, capture stops gracefully and a warning is logged. Limits documented in XML docs on ScreenRecordArgs and ScreenRecordStartArgs.

🧹 Fps float → int — Fixed. ScreenRecordResult.Fps is now int.

🔴 Pre-existing culture test failures — Resolved by syncing with upstream. Commit 6933239 (fix: use invariant culture in numeric display formatting, merged in #158) fixes those 8 failures. CI on this PR is now fully green.
