## What I changed

- `crates/wzp-video/Cargo.toml:12` — Added `wzp-proto` dependency so the controller can use `BandwidthEstimator` and `PriorityMode`.
- `crates/wzp-video/src/controller.rs` — New file. `VideoQualityController` with:
  - `VideoTarget` struct: `{ bitrate_kbps, fps, width, height }`
  - `allocate()` — per-mode budget split: `AudioFirst` (24 kbps floor), `VideoFirst` (video floor first), `ScreenShare` (16 kbps audio clamp), `Balanced` (15/85 split)
  - `derive_target()` — static step table mapping budget → resolution/fps (8 steps from 1280×720@30 down to 240×180@5)
  - `smooth()` — clamps bitrate changes to 2× per second
  - `tick(now_ms)` — allocates, derives, smooths, returns target
  - `set_mode()` / `update_network()` — thread-safe atomic setters
  - `set_target()` default no-op added to `VideoEncoder` trait
- `crates/wzp-video/src/encoder.rs:43-46` — Added `set_target(&mut self, _target: &VideoTarget)` default method to `VideoEncoder` trait.
- `crates/wzp-video/src/lib.rs:9-17` — Added `pub mod controller;` and re-exported `VideoQualityController`, `VideoTarget`.
- Tests: 8 new tests covering all 4 allocation modes, step table, smoothing, and mode roundtrip.

## Deviations from the task spec

Skeleton task. Followed PRD-video-quality-priority.md sections "Allocation gates" and "VideoQualityController".  The PRD pseudocode shows `encoder.set_target(target)` inside `tick()`; the actual implementation returns `VideoTarget` from `tick()` and provides `set_target()` on the encoder trait so callers apply it. This keeps the controller testable without a real encoder.

## Verification output

```bash
$ cargo test -p wzp-video --lib
test result: ok. 40 passed; 0 failed; 0 ignored
```

```bash
$ cargo build -p wzp-video -p wzp-proto -p wzp-relay -p wzp-client -p wzp-android -p wzp-codec -p wzp-desktop
# Finished successfully (59.82s)
```

```bash
$ cargo fmt --all -- --check
# pass
```

## Test summary

- Tests added: 8 (`audio_first_reserves_floor`, `audio_first_floor_not_below_bwe`, `screen_share_clamps_audio`, `balanced_split`, `derive_target_disabled_below_floor`, `derive_target_lowest_step`, `derive_target_highest_step`, `smoothing_limits_jump`, `mode_roundtrip`)
- Tests modified: 0
- `cargo clippy -p wzp-video --all-targets -- -D warnings`: pass
- `cargo fmt --all -- --check`: pass

## Risks / follow-ups

1. **`VideoEncoder::set_target()` is a no-op default** — Platform encoders (VideoToolbox, MediaCodec) need to override this to actually reconfigure bitrate/resolution/fps.
2. **Step table is H.264-only** — When H.265/AV1 land (T5.4+), the step table may need different thresholds per codec.
3. **ScreenShare slide fallback not yet implemented** — T5.3 will add `EncoderMode::SlideFallback` triggered when video budget < 150 kbps.
4. **Controller not yet wired into call engine** — `SetPriorityMode` signal (T5.1) and `VideoQualityController::tick()` need to be plumbed into `wzp-client/src/call.rs` and the Android/desktop engines.
