enricobuehler	b6ca692c13	docs(abi): ex11's summary still stated the pre-2026-08-16 rule its own warning corrects — a format at all sets the hi-res cap	2026-08-19 11:54:45 +02:00
enricobuehler	a75ed71428	docs(kde): name the 6.6 change behind the KWin virtual-output failure — the output must now be enabled, not just created	2026-08-19 09:01:12 +02:00
enricobuehler	b551f7dae8	fix(host): a translated KWin refusal burned all 8 retries — match our own prefix, not KWin's message ... KWin sends the `failed` reason on zkde_screencast localized. The retry short-circuit matched the English "could not find output", so a pt-BR session ("Não foi possível encontrar saída") fell through to 8 attempts over ~11 s and then reported "out of retries" — a config fact dressed up as a flaky one. Match "KWin virtual output failed" instead: our own prefix, never translated. Every `failed` KWin sends on this path is a backend/config fact (unsupported compositing type, a backend without createVirtualOutput, an output the workspace declined to enable), none of which a retry 500 ms later changes. The message itself now says what KWin's untranslatable reason means, and the KDE docs gain the KWin 6.6+ shape of it: KWin creates the output, leaves it disabled, and workspace()->findOutput() returns null — reported identically to a backend that cannot create one at all.	2026-08-19 08:54:02 +02:00
