Gregory's Server
While trying to make this work, I realized that this is the time when I *really really* want to be able to test this stuff. So I got on a sidetrack adventure to write testing infra for running real Wayland clients inside unit tests.
I've got it working! In these tests, I'm creating a new niri instance along with test clients, all on the same test-local event loop. No global state, no threads needed.
What's really cool is that this lets me test the weirdest client-server event timings.
This morning I worked on remembering the size for floating windows when they go to the tiling layout and back.
The whole sizing code must be at the top by logic complexity in niri. I have to juggle, all at once:
- new size I haven't sent to the window yet,
- size changes I sent, but window hasn't acked yet (0, 1, or more in-flight),
- size change window acked but hasn't committed for yet,
- size change window acked and responded to with a commit (maybe with a different size entirely).
