This commit introduces several high-impact performance optimizations and critical bug fixes for the Android platform, targeting a stable 1000 FPS on high-end devices like the S23 Ultra.

Performance Optimizations:

  • GC Management: Implemented AndroidHighPerformanceSessionManager to switch the .NET GC to SustainedLowLatency mode during gameplay. This significantly reduces the frequency and duration of GC-induced frame spikes.
  • Thread Pinning: Added native support for CPU affinity. Both the Game Update thread and the Render thread are now pinned to the high-performance cores (indices 3-7) of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2/3. This prevents the OS from migrating hot threads to efficiency cores, which often causes FPS drops.
  • Vulkan Support: Re-enabled the Vulkan renderer in the settings menu. Implemented a thread-safe JNI Global Reference system for the rendering surface in OsuGameActivity, which was the missing link for stable Vulkan device initialization on Android.
  • Compiler Hints: Applied [MethodImpl(MethodImplOptions.AggressiveOptimization)] to the main game update loop to ensure the JIT/AOT compiler generates the most efficient machine code for the hottest path.

Bug Fixes:

  • Oboe Audio Silence: The previous Oboe implementation often resulted in total silence. I've completely overhauled the OboeAudioRedirector to use a more robust, recursive BASS handle discovery logic. Crucially, it now explicitly manages BASS device contexts to ensure the master mixer and its sources are correctly moved to the 'No Sound' device (0) before being handed off to the Oboe native callback.
  • Startup Safety: Added timeout protection and error handling to the surface acquisition logic in OsuGameActivity to prevent hangs during the initial loading screen.

This commit introduces several high-impact performance optimizations and
critical bug fixes for the Android platform, targeting a stable 1000 FPS
on high-end devices like the S23 Ultra.

Optimizations:
- Implementation of AndroidHighPerformanceSessionManager to enforce
  GCLatencyMode.SustainedLowLatency during gameplay, minimizing GC stalls.
- CPU affinity pinning for Game Update and Render threads, targeting
  high-performance cores (3-7) on modern Snapdragon SoCs.
- Enabled Vulkan renderer selection in settings and implemented robust
  JNI surface reference handling in OsuGameActivity to support it.
- Applied MethodImplOptions.AggressiveOptimization to the core game
  update loop (UpdateAfterChildren).

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed Oboe audio silence by improving BASS mixer handle discovery and
  ensuring the BASS 'No Sound' device context is active during master mixer
  creation. This ensures a reliable redirection path from BASS to Oboe.
- Added timeout safety to surface acquisition during startup to prevent
  potential deadlocks.

👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!

This commit implements a comprehensive set of platform-specific
optimizations for Android, specifically targeting the Snapdragon 8
Gen 2/3 (Samsung S23 Ultra) to achieve a stable 1000 FPS.

Key Optimizations:
- **ADPF Performance Hint Sessions**: Implemented native and managed
  bridges for the Android Dynamic Performance Framework. The game now
  reports actual frame durations for Update and Render threads, allowing
  the OS to boost CPU frequencies dynamically to sustain the 1ms budget.
- **Thread Pinning**: Both the Game Update and Render threads are now
  pinned to high-performance cores (3-7), eliminating scheduling jitter
  and efficiency-core migration.
- **GC Management**: Enforced SustainedLowLatency GC mode during gameplay
  via a new AndroidHighPerformanceSessionManager.
- **Vulkan Enablement**: Re-enabled Vulkan selection and implemented
  thread-safe JNI Global Reference handling for the rendering surface,
  fixing initialization crashes and enabling the high-performance backend.
- **Oboe Audio Robustness**: Overhauled the BASS-to-Oboe redirection path
  with improved handle discovery and explicit device context management,
  fixing silence issues when Oboe is enabled.
- **Compiler Hints**: Applied AggressiveOptimization to the core game
  loops to maximize machine code efficiency.

CI & Style Fixes:
- Wrapped obsolete RendererType checks in pragmas.
- Corrected file header order in OsuGame.cs.
- Ensured consistent blank line usage before control flow statements.
