refactor: change ClientPublisher to accept camera streams instead of local USB

BREAKING CHANGE: ClientPublisher::open() signature changed from
  open(sl::InputType input, Trigger* ref, int sdk_gpu_id)
to
  open(const std::string& ip, int port, Trigger* ref, int sdk_gpu_id)

The ClientPublisher now receives camera streams over network using
setFromStream() instead of opening local USB cameras. This allows the
host to receive video from edge devices running enableStreaming().

Changes:
- Use init_parameters.input.setFromStream(ip, port) for stream input
- Keep body tracking and Fusion publishing (INTRA_PROCESS) unchanged
- Add getSerialNumber() getter for logging/debugging
- Improve error messages with context (ip:port)

+## ZED SDK Architecture
+
+### Streaming API vs Fusion API
+
+The ZED SDK provides two distinct network APIs that are often confused:
+
+| Feature | Streaming API | Fusion API |
+|---------|---------------|------------|
+| **Data Transmitted** | Compressed video (H264/H265) | Metadata only (bodies, objects, poses) |
+| **Bandwidth** | 10-40 Mbps | <100 Kbps |
+| **Edge Compute** | Video encoding only | Full depth NN + tracking + detection |
+| **Host Compute** | Full depth + tracking + detection | Lightweight fusion only |
+| **API Methods** | `enableStreaming()` / `setFromStream()` | `startPublishing()` / `subscribe()` |
+
+### Key Insight
+
+**There is NO built-in mode for streaming computed depth maps or point clouds.** The architecture forces a choice:
+
+1. **Streaming API**: Edge sends video → Host computes everything (depth, tracking, detection)
+2. **Fusion API**: Edge computes everything → Sends only metadata (bodies/poses)
+
+### Code Patterns
+
+#### Streaming Sender (Edge)
+```cpp
+sl::StreamingParameters stream_params;
+stream_params.codec = sl::STREAMING_CODEC::H265;
+stream_params.port = 30000;
+stream_params.bitrate = 12000;
+zed.enableStreaming(stream_params);
+```
+
+#### Streaming Receiver (Host)
+```cpp
+sl::InitParameters init_params;
+init_params.input.setFromStream("192.168.1.100", 30000);
+zed.open(init_params);
+// Full ZED SDK available - depth, tracking, etc.
+```
+
+#### Fusion Publisher (Edge or Host)
+```cpp
+sl::CommunicationParameters comm_params;
+comm_params.setForLocalNetwork(30000);
+// or comm_params.setForIntraProcess(); for same-machine
+zed.startPublishing(comm_params);
+```
+
+#### Fusion Subscriber (Host)
+```cpp
+sl::Fusion fusion;
+fusion.init(init_params);
+sl::CameraIdentifier cam(serial_number);
+fusion.subscribe(cam, comm_params, pose);
+```

+# CUDA-OpenGL Interop: Jetson vs Desktop GPU Differences
+
+## Summary
+
+The CUDA-OpenGL interop issue where `cudaGraphicsMapResources` is required every frame on modern desktop GPUs (RTX 3090/5070Ti with CUDA 12.8) but works with permanent mapping on Jetson (JetPack 5.1.2) is rooted in fundamental architectural differences between integrated GPUs (iGPU) and discrete GPUs (dGPU).
+
+## Root Cause: Memory Architecture Differences
+
+### Jetson (Tegra/iGPU) - Unified Memory Architecture

+```
+
+**Characteristics:**
+- CPU and GPU share the **same physical memory** (SoC DRAM)
+- **Unified Memory** - same pointer value works for both CPU and GPU
+- **Zero-copy** possible - no data transfer needed
+- OpenGL and CUDA can access the same memory without mapping/unmapping
+- Memory is always "mapped" because there's only one memory space
+

+```
+
+**Characteristics:**
+- CPU and GPU have **separate physical memories** (Host RAM vs VRAM)
+- Data must be **transferred** between host and device memory
+- OpenGL texture/buffer lives in GPU memory
+- CUDA must **explicitly map** the resource to get a device pointer
+- **Mapping/Unmapping** is required to synchronize access between OpenGL and CUDA
+
+## Why the Fix is Required on Desktop GPUs
+
+### The Problem with Permanent Mapping on dGPU
+
+When a resource is permanently mapped on desktop GPUs:
+
+1. **CUDA holds the mapping** - thinks it owns the memory
+2. **OpenGL tries to use the texture/buffer** for rendering
+3. **Memory coherency issues** - CUDA writes may not be visible to OpenGL
+4. **Synchronization race conditions** - undefined behavior, corruption, or crashes
+
+### Why It Works on Jetson
+
+On Jetson with unified memory:
+
+1. **Same physical memory** - both CUDA and OpenGL access the same location
+2. **No data transfer needed** - writes are immediately visible
+3. **Cache coherency handled by hardware** - no explicit synchronization required
+4. **Mapping is essentially a no-op** - just gives a pointer to shared memory
+
+## The Correct Pattern (Applied in Our Fix)
+
+```cpp
+// Every frame:
+
+// 1. Map resource for CUDA access
+//    - On dGPU: Sets up memory mapping, ensures coherency
+//    - On Jetson: Lightweight operation (already unified)
+cudaGraphicsMapResources(1, &resource, stream);
+
+// 2. Get pointer/array for CUDA to use
+cudaGraphicsResourceGetMappedPointer(&ptr, &size, resource);
+// or
+cudaGraphicsSubResourceGetMappedArray(&arr, resource, 0, 0);
+
+// 3. Copy/process data with CUDA
+cudaMemcpy(ptr, data, size, cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);
+
+// 4. Synchronize to ensure copy completes
+cudaStreamSynchronize(stream);
+
+// 5. Unmap so OpenGL can use it
+//    - On dGPU: Releases mapping, makes data available to OpenGL
+//    - On Jetson: Still good practice, minimal overhead
+cudaGraphicsUnmapResources(1, &resource, stream);
+
+// 6. OpenGL rendering can now safely use the resource
+//    glBindTexture(GL_TEXTURE_2D, texture);
+//    glDrawArrays(...);
+```
+
+## CUDA Version and Driver Changes
+
+### CUDA 12.8 Behavior Changes
+
+According to NVIDIA Developer Forums (2025):
+
+> "CUDA randomly freezes when using cudaStreamSynchronize with OpenGL interop... `cudaGraphicsMapResources` needs to be called every frame"
+
+This suggests that newer CUDA versions and drivers have **tightened synchronization requirements**:
+
+- **Older CUDA/drivers** may have been more lenient with permanent mapping
+- **CUDA 12.8+** enforces proper map/unmap cycles for correctness
+- **Stricter memory ordering** between CUDA and OpenGL contexts
+
+### Why JetPack 5.1.2 Still Works
+
+- **Older driver branch** - Jetson drivers lag behind desktop
+- **Unified memory hides the issue** - no actual data movement needed
+- **Different driver implementation** - Tegra drivers optimized for unified memory path
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Desktop GPU (dGPU)
+
+| Approach | Overhead | Correctness |
+|----------|----------|-------------|
+| Permanent mapping | Low | **Broken on CUDA 12.8+** |
+| Map/unmap per frame | Higher | **Correct** |
+
+**Optimization for dGPU:**
+- Use `cudaStreamSynchronize(0)` or explicit events
+- Batch multiple copies if possible
+- Consider using CUDA arrays directly if no OpenGL needed
+
+### Jetson (iGPU)
+
+| Approach | Overhead | Correctness |
+|----------|----------|-------------|
+| Permanent mapping | Minimal | Works (unified memory) |
+| Map/unmap per frame | Minimal | Works (good practice) |
+
+**Recommendation:** Use the same map/unmap pattern on both platforms for code portability, even though Jetson is more forgiving.

+
+## Conclusion
+
+The fix applied to `GLViewer.cpp` (map/unmap every frame) is **required for correctness on desktop GPUs** and is **good practice on Jetson**:
+
+1. **Desktop RTX GPUs** - Separate VRAM requires explicit synchronization between CUDA and OpenGL
+2. **Jetson iGPU** - Unified memory is more forgiving, but same pattern works
+3. **CUDA 12.8+** - Stricter driver requirements enforce proper resource management
+4. **Code portability** - Same code works correctly on both platforms
+
+The architectural difference explains why the original code worked on Jetson but failed on your RTX 3090/5070Ti with CUDA 12.8.

+# GLViewer CUDA-OpenGL Interop Fix
+
+## Problem
+
+The GLViewer had CUDA-OpenGL interop issues where the application would crash or display corrupted graphics when rendering point clouds and camera views. This was caused by improper resource mapping between CUDA and OpenGL.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+The original code kept CUDA graphics resources permanently mapped:
+- Resources were mapped once during initialization
+- Never unmapped until cleanup/resize
+- CUDA and OpenGL were competing for the same memory resources
+
+This violates CUDA-OpenGL interop best practices which require:
+1. **Map** resource before CUDA operations
+2. **Use** the mapped pointer/array
+3. **Unmap** resource before OpenGL uses it
+
+## Solution Applied
+
+### 1. PointCloud::pushNewPC() Fix
+
+**Before:**
+```cpp
+void PointCloud::pushNewPC() {
+    // ... initialization code ...
+    // Resource mapped once, never unmapped
+    cudaMemcpy(xyzrgbaMappedBuf_, refMat.getPtr<sl::float4>(sl::MEM::CPU), 
+               numBytes_, cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);
+}
+```
+
+**After:**
+```cpp
+void PointCloud::pushNewPC() {
+    // ... initialization code ...
+    
+    // Map the resource for CUDA access
+    cudaError_t err = cudaGraphicsMapResources(1, &bufferCudaID_, 0);
+    
+    err = cudaGraphicsResourceGetMappedPointer((void**)&xyzrgbaMappedBuf_, 
+                                               &numBytes_, bufferCudaID_);
+    
+    // Copy data from ZED SDK to mapped OpenGL buffer
+    cudaMemcpy(xyzrgbaMappedBuf_, refMat.getPtr<sl::float4>(sl::MEM::CPU), 
+               numBytes_, cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);
+    
+    // Synchronize to ensure copy completes
+    cudaStreamSynchronize(0);
+    
+    // Unmap so OpenGL can use it
+    err = cudaGraphicsUnmapResources(1, &bufferCudaID_, 0);
+}
+```
+
+### 2. CameraViewer::pushNewImage() Fix
+
+**Before:**
+```cpp
+void CameraViewer::pushNewImage() {
+    if (!ref.isInit())  return;
+    // ArrIm was permanently mapped, direct copy
+    cudaMemcpy2DToArray(ArrIm, 0, 0, ref.getPtr<sl::uchar1>(sl::MEM::CPU), 
+                        ref.getStepBytes(sl::MEM::CPU), 
+                        ref.getPixelBytes() * ref.getWidth(), 
+                        ref.getHeight(), cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);
+}
+```
+
+**After:**
+```cpp
+void CameraViewer::pushNewImage() {
+    if (!ref.isInit())  return;
+
+    // Map the resource for CUDA access
+    auto err = cudaGraphicsMapResources(1, &cuda_gl_ressource, 0);
+
+    err = cudaGraphicsSubResourceGetMappedArray(&ArrIm, cuda_gl_ressource, 0, 0);
+
+    // Copy data to mapped array
+    err = cudaMemcpy2DToArray(ArrIm, 0, 0, ref.getPtr<sl::uchar1>(sl::MEM::CPU), 
+                              ref.getStepBytes(sl::MEM::CPU), 
+                              ref.getPixelBytes() * ref.getWidth(), 
+                              ref.getHeight(), cudaMemcpyHostToDevice);
+
+    // Synchronize to ensure copy completes
+    cudaStreamSynchronize(0);
+
+    // Unmap so OpenGL can use it
+    err = cudaGraphicsUnmapResources(1, &cuda_gl_ressource, 0);
+}
+```
+
+### 3. CameraViewer Initialization Cleanup
+
+Removed permanent mapping from initialization:
+
+**Before:**
+```cpp
+// In CameraViewer::initialize():
+cudaGraphicsGLRegisterImage(&cuda_gl_ressource, texture, GL_TEXTURE_2D, 
+                            cudaGraphicsRegisterFlagsWriteDiscard);
+cudaGraphicsMapResources(1, &cuda_gl_ressource, 0);  // REMOVED
+cudaGraphicsSubResourceGetMappedArray(&ArrIm, cuda_gl_ressource, 0, 0);  // REMOVED
+```
+
+**After:**
+```cpp
+// In CameraViewer::initialize():
+cudaGraphicsGLRegisterImage(&cuda_gl_ressource, texture, GL_TEXTURE_2D, 
+                            cudaGraphicsRegisterFlagsWriteDiscard);
+// Mapping now done in pushNewImage()
+```
+
+## Key CUDA-OpenGL Interop Rules
+
+1. **Register once** - `cudaGraphicsGLRegisterBuffer/RegisterImage`
+2. **Map before CUDA** - `cudaGraphicsMapResources`
+3. **Get pointer/array** - `cudaGraphicsResourceGetMappedPointer/SubResourceGetMappedArray`
+4. **Copy data** - `cudaMemcpy/cudaMemcpy2DToArray`
+5. **Synchronize** - `cudaStreamSynchronize` (ensures copy completes)
+6. **Unmap before GL** - `cudaGraphicsUnmapResources`
+7. **Unregister on cleanup** - `cudaGraphicsUnregisterResource`
+
+## Reference
+
+This fix is based on commit `45fcb88e9dcc7a1b1fb86b928b884bfcdc1da0f2` in the zed-sdk repository which applied the same fix to the depth sensing sample.
