GameSir Connect: reconstructing controller-profile share codes

GameSir Connect share-code research reconstructs the desktop app's controller-profile export format and supplies a Python codec for editing and reimporting profiles. The documented GAMESIR: pipeline combines JSON, gzip, Base64 and AES-256-CBC, with a derived key and IV; the author reports testing on a GameSir G7 Pro.
