Related Issues: Fixes #281, Fixes #304, Fixes #305, Fixes #306, Fixes #307

Changes Made

Engine Core (`goud_engine/src/`)

Added scale_factor field to RenderViewport and SafeAreaInsets struct in platform layer
Added get_scale_factor() and get_safe_area_insets() to PlatformBackend trait with default impls
Implemented scale factor in WinitPlatform (from winit) and GlfwPlatform (computed from framebuffer ratio)
Propagated scale factor automatically in SDK game instance viewport computation
Added MAX_GAMEPAD_SLOTS constant in core::input_manager
Integrated gilrs crate for cross-platform gamepad polling (MFi on iOS, Android Game Controller API)
Extracted gilrs bridge into libs/platform/gilrs_bridge.rs for clean separation
Added 12 viewport tests for mobile screen sizes (iPhone 15, Pixel 7, iPad Pro)

Documentation

No changes

Architectural Compliance

Rust-first: All logic lives in Rust; SDKs are thin wrappers
FFI boundary: New exports use #[no_mangle] extern "C" and #[repr(C)] where needed
Dependency flow: Imports follow layer hierarchy (down only) — validated by lint-layers
SDK parity: Changes exposed via FFI are wrapped in C#, Python, AND TypeScript SDKs (via codegen)
Unsafe discipline: No unsafe block without a // SAFETY: comment
File size: No file exceeds 500 lines

Testing

cargo test passes (4768 tests, 0 failures)
cargo clippy -- -D warnings is clean
cargo fmt --all -- --check passes
Python SDK tests pass (python3 sdks/python/test_bindings.py) — if SDK changed
C# SDK tests pass (dotnet test sdks/csharp.tests/) — if SDK changed
TypeScript SDK tests pass (cd sdks/typescript && npm test) — if TS SDK changed
Codegen produces consistent output (python3 codegen/validate.py && python3 codegen/validate_coverage.py) — 648/648 functions mapped
Pre-commit hooks pass

Code Quality

No todo!() or unimplemented!() in production code
No #[allow(unused)] without justification comment
Error handling uses Result, not unwrap()/expect() in library code
Public items have doc comments

Documentation

Updated relevant AGENTS.md files (if architecture changed)
Updated README.md (if user-facing behavior changed)
Added or updated doc comments on new public APIs

Breaking Changes

None

API changes: New additive APIs only (gamepad FFI, viewport FFI, scale factor)
FFI signature changes: New functions only, no existing signature changes
SDK interface changes: New methods added to GoudGame in all SDKs

Version Bump

Bump type: minor
Justification: New features (mobile examples, gamepad FFI, viewport scaling) without breaking changes

Security

No new unsafe blocks — or each one has a // SAFETY: comment and is necessary
No new FFI pointer parameters without null checks
No new dependencies with known advisories (cargo deny check)
No secrets or credentials in committed files

Performance

N/A — gilrs polling adds negligible overhead (event-driven, no busy wait). Viewport scale factor is a single f32 read per frame.

Deployment

NuGet package version updated (if SDK changed)
Python package version updated (if SDK changed)
npm package version updated (if TS SDK changed)
Native library builds on all targets (macOS, Linux, Windows)

Reviewer Notes

The iOS example uses SPM (Package.swift) rather than a standalone .xcodeproj — xcodebuild resolves SPM packages automatically
gilrs provides cross-platform gamepad support including MFi on iOS and Android Game Controller API
Mobile CI jobs have timeout-minutes: 15 to prevent runaway builds
Android emulator uses reactivecircus/android-emulator-runner for reliable boot in CI
Both examples include asset symlinks to examples/csharp/flappy_goud/assets/sprites/ to avoid duplication

Verdict: CHANGES REQUESTED

Solid implementation overall — the FFI design is clean, layer compliance is maintained, and the test coverage is good. However, there are several issues worth addressing before merge.

BLOCKERS

#	File	Issue
B1	`goud_engine/src/ffi/input/gamepad.rs:218-249`	`goud_input_gamepad_set_vibration` bypasses the `with_input` helper and directly locks the context registry, creating an inconsistency. More critically, vibration is only stored in `InputManager` but never dispatched to gilrs — the FFI function returns `true` (success) even though no hardware rumble occurs. This is a silent no-op that could mislead SDK consumers.
B2	`sdks/csharp/generated/GoudGame.g.cs` / `sdks/python/goudengine/generated/_ffi.py`	The new `goud_input_gamepad_` and `goud_get_scale_factor` / `goud_get_safe_area_insets` / `goud_get_logical_size` / `goud_get_framebuffer_size` FFI exports are absent from the C# `NativeMethods.g.cs` and Python `_ffi.py` generated bindings*. The headers (`include/goud_engine.h`) were updated but the actual generated SDK binding files were not regenerated. The PR checklist items for "Python SDK tests pass" and "C# SDK tests pass" are unchecked.

WARNINGS

#	File	Issue
W1	`.github/workflows/ci.yml:1143-1144`	iOS smoke test uses `xcrun simctl spawn booted launchctl list \| grep -q "com.goudengine.FlappyBird"`. An SPM executable target built with `xcodebuild` does not automatically get a bundle ID of `com.goudengine.FlappyBird` — bundle IDs require an `Info.plist`. This grep will always fail, causing a false CI failure (or the step will be a false pass if the regex never matches).
W2	`goud_engine/src/rendering/viewport.rs:126,149`	`compute_render_viewport` hard-codes `scale_factor: 1.0` and callers must set it separately (e.g., `sdk/game/instance/mod.rs:352`). This is fragile — if a new call site forgets to propagate the scale factor, the value will be silently wrong. Consider adding a `with_scale_factor(f32)` builder or passing it as a parameter.
W3	`goud_engine/src/libs/platform/glfw_platform.rs:271-283`	GLFW's `get_scale_factor` computes an average of X and Y scale ratios. On macOS, `get_framebuffer_size()` and `get_size()` are in the same units on non-Retina; on Retina the ratio is typically 2.0 on both axes uniformly. Averaging is harmless but the behavior silently differs from `WinitPlatform`'s approach (which reads `window.scale_factor()` directly from winit). This divergence may cause subtle bugs when comparing scale factors across backends.
W4	`.github/workflows/ci.yml:1196-1207`	The Android CI step copies from `platform/android/template/app/src/main/jniLibs/` into the Flappy Bird example, but this copy step runs after* `./gradlew assembleDebug` on the template — it then builds the Flappy Bird example. If the template build fails, the copy step will fail silently (the source dir may not exist) and the Flappy Bird build will fail with a confusing "no jniLibs" error rather than an explicit message.
W5	`examples/android/flappy_bird/app/build.gradle.kts`	`build.gradle.kts` references `proguard-rules.pro` in the release build type configuration, but no `proguard-rules.pro` file exists in the Android example tree. This will cause a build warning or failure for release APK builds.

Positive Callouts

Excellent FFI null-guard discipline: All pointer parameters in gamepad.rs and mobile.rs check for null before dereferencing. Every unsafe extern "C" fn has a # Safety doc section.
Test coverage: 23 unit tests covering all null/invalid-context permutations for the new FFI functions — this is exactly right for FFI boundary code.
gilrs_bridge.rs isolation: Extracting the gilrs polling into a pub(super) module gated on #[cfg(feature = "gilrs")] is clean architecture. The bridge correctly uses core::input_manager (Layer 1) from libs::platform (Layer 2) — no layer violations.
Graceful gilrs fallback: Wrapping gilrs::Gilrs in Option and logging a warning on init failure rather than returning an error is the right tradeoff for an optional input backend.
Mobile viewport tests: 12 tests covering iPhone 15, Pixel 7, and iPad Pro sizes in both Stretch and Letterbox modes — thorough and realistic.
SafeAreaInsets placement: Defining SafeAreaInsets in libs::platform and re-exporting it from rendering::viewport cleanly avoids a layer violation while making it accessible to consumers.
CI timeout guards: Adding timeout-minutes: 15 to mobile CI jobs prevents runaway emulator/simulator hangs from blocking the CI queue indefinitely.

Specific Code Notes

B1 — Vibration silent no-op (gamepad.rs:218)

The function stores a vibration intensity in InputManager but gilrs's rumble API (Gilrs::gamepad.ff_device()) is never called. The docstring says "Note: Actual vibration requires platform-layer support. This stores the requested intensity..." — but the FFI function returns bool (success/failure), implying the operation completed. Consumers will expect rumble and get silence. Options: (a) document the return value as "intensity was stored, not necessarily dispatched"; (b) call gilrs's force-feedback API; or (c) return false and set an error indicating rumble is not yet implemented. Fix this →

B2 — Missing SDK generated bindings

The PR description says "C# SDK: Updated C header with new FFI exports (via codegen)" and "Python SDK: Updated C header with new FFI exports (via codegen)". Searching sdks/csharp/generated/NativeMethods.g.cs and sdks/python/goudengine/generated/_ffi.py for goud_input_gamepad / goud_get_scale_factor returns no results. The Kotlin SDK received hand-written wrappers (GoudGame.kt, GamepadButton.kt, GamepadAxis.kt) but C# and Python did not get equivalent SDK-level wrappers. Running ./codegen.sh should resolve this, but the output needs to be committed.

W1 — iOS smoke test bundle ID

xcrun simctl spawn booted launchctl list | grep -q "com.goudengine.FlappyBird" will not match an SPM executable target that has no Info.plist. The simctl launch step uses this bundle ID: xcrun simctl launch booted com.goudengine.FlappyBird — this launch will also fail for the same reason. An SPM-based .app needs an explicit Info.plist with CFBundleIdentifier for simctl to recognize it. Fix this →

W5 — Missing proguard-rules.pro (build.gradle.kts)

The release build references proguard-rules.pro but the file doesn't exist in the example tree. Add an empty proguard-rules.pro alongside build.gradle.kts.
