Mouse jitter / stutter during fast movement #3

Description

@mukulchugh

Some users see the pointer jitter or stutter on the receiver during fast mouse movement.

Likely cause: mouse move/scroll events go over UDP and can arrive out of order or be dropped; the receiver may also be coalescing deltas poorly.

Where to look

  • Sources/OpenKVM/PeerNetwork.swift — UDP send/receive path.
  • Sources/OpenKVM/InputBridge.swift — CGEvent replay on the receiver.

Ideas to try

  • Sequence-number UDP packets and drop stale ones instead of replaying them.
  • Accumulate deltas and post at a fixed cadence (e.g. per display refresh).

Why it is a good first issue: reproducible, self-contained, and touches only the input path.
