`phosphor-identity`

Stable cross-process identity formats.

Header-only INTERFACE library that owns the wire formats for the IDs that flow through the suite: composite appId|instanceId window IDs, EDID-derived screen IDs, and <physicalId>/vs:<index> virtual-screen IDs. Daemon, KWin effect, KCM, and any future compositor plugin link the same inline definitions, so the spelling is unambiguous and centralised.
