Mutter offers SPA_META_Cursor with a FIXED size pod —
SPA_POD_Int(CURSOR_META_SIZE(384, 384)) in meta-screen-cast-stream-src.c —
while our request capped the range at meta_size(256, 256). The intersection
is empty, so the Meta param silently failed to negotiate and no buffer ever
carried the meta region: the entire Linux cursor pipeline (forward AND
blend) was blind on GNOME, proven by an on-glass probe counting 32k+
buffers with zero metas. KWin's offer fits inside 256², which is why the
same consumer code passed there. Raise the max to 1024² headroom (the
negotiated allocation follows the producer's value, not our max) and align
the bitmap parse guard.
