IPC/global-menu/output-management work
Border/titlebar decoration was built from Window.geometry (the animation's
final target) in both wayland backends' render loops, while sync_geometry
already draws a window's actual content at window_anims' interpolated rect
during any maximize/fullscreen/open-slide tween. Border and content read two
different rectangles for the whole transition, so the border visibly
detached from the window it was outlining - reported as "borders aren't
flush." Both udev.rs and winit.rs now read the same animated rect for
titlebar placement, border-strip placement, and the occlusion test against
later windows in stacking order. Verified: cargo build --workspace, cargo
clippy (0 new warnings), cargo test -p srdwm-core (111/111).
Also checkpoints substantial protocol/IPC work from prior sessions that had
accumulated uncommitted: gtk-shell1 support (gtk_shell.rs, the vendored
gtk-shell.xml, xwayland.rs's X11-side mirror) backing the global app menu;
zwlr_foreign_toplevel_manager_v1 (foreign_toplevel.rs) broadcasting distinct
maximized/minimized/fullscreen/activated state per window; output_management
(ext-output-management + layer-shell exclusive-zone reservation tracking);
workspace.rs and context_menu.rs; a Unix-socket IPC crate (platform/src/
ipc.rs) and a `srd` control-CLI crate (crates/ctl); xkb_config.rs; and a
theme module (core/src/theme.rs). A peer session working the AGS shell
concurrently verified several of these live against a running srdwm: the
global menu rendering a real app's File/Edit menu over gtk-shell1, and
foreign-toplevel correctly reporting maximized and fullscreen as independent,
non-simultaneous states with the geometry each implies (maximize stops at a
reserved top bar and past a dock; fullscreen reaches the true monitor edge).

Config path drops a level: ~/.config/srd, not ~/.config/srdwm/srd, which
said the same thing twice. No other user-facing path had the same problem --
srdwm reads the config dir and writes nothing else.
Cursor shapes. A client's own cursor surface is now rendered with the
hotspot it declared, so an I-beam over text or a hand over a link shows the
app's image instead of srdwm's arrow. The built-in arrow stays as the
fallback when no client has set one, over decorations and the desktop.
Named shapes still fall back to the arrow; most toolkits set a surface.
Decorations and cursors now share one OverlayElement type, since
render_output takes a single custom-element slice.
Key repeat (srd.bind_repeat, Hyprland's binde). Held volume, brightness and
switcher keys repeat at the seat's own rate rather than firing once. Driven
from the poll loop, not a timer source: the winit backend has no calloop
loop of its own, and poll_events already runs continuously in both backends.
Repeat stops when *that* key is released, not when any key is.
Always-on-top / pin, for the picture-in-picture and HUD rules that used it.
Window::always_on_top was another declared-but-never-read field. Enforced in
WindowManager's stacking order rather than at render time, so every consumer
of stacking_order gets it and none can forget to honour it.
Mouse-only window management, checked end to end: drag the titlebar to move,
drag any edge or corner to resize, titlebar buttons to close/maximise/
minimise, click to focus, drag to a screen edge to snap, and now
double-click the titlebar to maximise. The resize grab band went from 6px to
10px - a hairline is genuinely hard to hit with a mouse, which is why
Hyprland ships extend_border_grab_area.
Also removed the emoji status markers from docs/IMPLEMENTATION_STATUS.md.

Groundwork for actually daily-driving this: porting the user's Hyprland
config exposed what srdwm couldn't yet express, and testing on a bare TTY
exposed something worse.
A visible mouse cursor. Nothing drew a pointer at all - on a bare TTY the
mouse was simply invisible. It hid because the nested backend runs inside
another compositor, which draws a cursor over srdwm's window; only the DRM
backend, i.e. the actual session path, was affected. A built-in arrow is now
composited above everything on the output the pointer is on. It's a
reviewable ASCII bitmap rather than an XCursor theme: a cursor that is always
present beats a prettier one that sometimes isn't, the same reasoning as
decoration.rs's font fallback. Client-set cursor surfaces and named shapes
are still not rendered, so an app asking for an I-beam gets the arrow.
Lid switch. libinput switch events are handled and surfaced to config as
srd.on("lid_closed"/"lid_open", fn), so closing the lid can lock and suspend
instead of doing nothing.
Config-driven additions, each needed by a binding in the ported config and
none of which existed: fullscreen (Window.fullscreen was a dead field --
declared, never read or written), directional window move that swaps with
the neighbour and reorders the stack so tiling follows, focus cycling,
modifier+drag to move/resize anywhere in a window rather than only by the
titlebar, modifier+scroll to change workspace, and 8 XF86 media/power
keysyms taken from the system's own XF86keysym.h. The keysym tables are
hand-maintained in both directions and a key missing from either fails
silently, so a round-trip test now covers every one the configs bind.
Verified in the QEMU VM: a bare-TTY screendump shows a recognisable arrow at
the pointer position (113 white fill + 58 black outline pixels at screen
centre, where the pointer starts).

Implements the protocols that were blocking srdwm-wayland from being a real
session, plus multi-monitor, and splits the backend into modules. Everything
here was verified by running it against real clients, not just compiled.
Protocols
- wlr-layer-shell + xdg-output: bars/launchers/notifications. xdg-output is
not optional in practice - without it wofi segfaults rather than
degrading, since it calls get_xdg_output without null-checking.
- Clipboard: wl_data_device_manager, primary selection, and wlr-data-control.
Data-control is what `wl-paste --watch cliphist store` needs, as it reads
the selection without holding focus. Selection focus now follows keyboard
focus, without which a focused window can neither copy nor paste.
- ext-session-lock: `locked` gates rendering and input. No key is treated as
a WM binding while locked - the config binds Mod4+Return to spawn a
terminal, so honouring bindings at a locked screen would defeat the lock.
The lock is confirmed only after a client-content-free frame has actually
been presented, never at request time.
- wlr-screencopy (hand-written; smithay ships no helper) for grim/slurp.
Multi-monitor
Every connected connector becomes a head with its own buffers, damage
tracker and page-flip state, matched by CRTC so differing refresh rates
don't gate each other. Outputs are reached through primary_output/output_at/
output_for_wl rather than a single field, which kept the change to ~11 call
sites. Session lock creates one lock surface per output and waits for all of
them, so a second monitor can't still show the desktop when the locker is
told the session is safe. Modes are picked by the PREFERRED flag, not list
order, and CRTCs are never double-assigned.
Bugs found by testing, not review
- Nothing gave a newly-created window Wayland focus: a freshly-opened app
received no keystrokes and could not paste until clicked.
- Opening a window at a locked screen stole keyboard focus. Caught by
counting wl_keyboard.enter delivered to a client launched while locked:
1 before the guard, 0 after. A killed locker correctly leaves it locked.
- Reading back the winit EGL window surface destroyed the GL context on the
first screencopy capture, taking the compositor down. Root-caused by
A/B-ing the same build with only the readback removed; capture now renders
an offscreen pass.
- Output mode was resent every frame at 60Hz, flooding any client bound to
wl_output with duplicate mode/done events.
- general.default_layout was defaulted and validated but never read, so
setting it did nothing. srdwm is dynamic-first (Windows/macOS style, with
drag-to-edge snapping); tiling is one opt-in layout, and that stays true.
- .gitignore's unanchored `srdwm` matched any path component of that name,
silently excluding the whole crates/srdwm source crate - the binary crate
the workspace lists as a member, so a fresh clone could not build.
Modularization
lib.rs went from ~1260 lines to 78: state, protocols, input, lock,
screencopy, winit and udev now each own one responsibility. lock is grouped
by feature rather than kind on purpose, since its security invariant spans
state, protocol handling and rendering at once.
Multi-monitor was verified in the QEMU VM with a two-output virtio-gpu: both
heads screendumped at their own resolution showing srdwm's clear colour, and
a window forced to global x=1500 landed on head 1 at head-local x=220 while
head 0 stayed empty. Known limitation, now documented: the nested winit
backend stalls while its window is occluded, because the host stops
scheduling frames and eglSwapBuffers blocks.
