Detailed Description

TCP client connection state (network-layer only)

Encapsulates network-specific state for a single TCP client connection:

Socket file descriptor
Server address information
Connection state flags
Send mutex for thread-safe packet transmission
Encryption flag

Application-layer state (audio, threads, display, crypto) is now in app_client_t (network/client.h) to enable transport-agnostic design.

Ownership Model

Created by tcp_client_create() in main thread
Owned by connection management layer
Destroyed after network I/O is complete

Thread Safety

Atomic fields: Safe for concurrent read/write without locks
Mutex-protected fields: Acquire send_mutex before socket writes
Immutable after init: server_ip is set once, then read-only

See also: app_client_t For application-layer state; websocket_client_t For WebSocket transport equivalent
