P0 of per-monitor capture (design/per-monitor-portal-capture.md): nothing
in the tree could answer "what heads does this host have?", which both a
monitor pin and a console picker need first.
One read per compositor, each beside the code that already speaks that
dialect: KWin's kde_output_device_v2 (the topology session now also records
geometry + scale), Mutter's DisplayConfig.GetCurrentState, swaymsg
get_outputs, hyprctl monitors. Logical geometry throughout, because x/y is
what identifies a head — two monitors can share a size but never an origin.
PUNKTFUNK_CAPTURE_MONITOR parses here and is reported at startup, loudly
including that it is not yet enforced: a knob that is read but inert has to
say so, or "it didn't work" reads as a bug. GET /display/monitors always
answers 200 with an explained empty list, so a compositor-less host renders
as "nothing to pick", not as a broken console.
