P2 of design/per-monitor-portal-capture.md. zkde_screencast's
stream_output records an output KWin already has — the connector name IS
the selection, so there is no dialog, no portal and no chooser for a
background service to answer.
It arrives as a VirtualDisplay reporting DisplayOwnership::External, which
already means "someone else's display, merely mirrored: no keep-alive, no
topology, no reuse". So the rule that we must never disable, move or
"restore" a monitor the user is sitting in front of holds by construction
rather than by everyone remembering it — and create() ignores the client's
requested mode for the same reason: a panel runs at the mode its owner set.
Routing lives in vdisplay::open, the one place every session opens a
display, so the pin cannot be honored on one plane and ignored on another.
The host sets the libei anchor from the same pin (pf-vdisplay must not
depend on pf-inject), which is what makes absolute input land on the
mirrored head instead of a same-sized neighbour.
