The absolute-region ladder existed for one case a unit test can only
simulate — two heads of the SAME size, where matching a libei region by
the streamed mode is a coin flip — and that case had never been run
against a real compositor. It was also unobservable: the log said which
regions the EIS server offered, never which one a coordinate went into,
so "the pointer is on the wrong monitor" could only be discovered by
looking at a monitor.
libei now reports the chosen region once per distinct answer, beside the
existing miss warning: one covers an anchor that named nothing, this one
covers an anchor that matched something, by saying which.
`anchor-test` is the gate that reads it, in the shape mirror-test
established: it enumerates the heads, SAYS whether the rig actually has
two of the same size (a green run on a single-head box proves nothing),
anchors at a named one (or `--none` for the A/B that makes the anchored
run mean anything), and walks the corners. It refuses to run off libei
rather than emitting a green result about a ladder that isn't there.
On-glass on KWin 6.7.3 with `kwin_wayland --virtual --output-count 2`
(regions 1920x1080+0+0 and +1920+0): unanchored picks +0+0, anchored at
Virtual-1 picks +1920+0, anchored at Virtual-0 picks +0+0. That is open
item 3 of design/per-monitor-portal-capture.md §8b, closed.
Clearing the pin now logs too — setting one always did, and the streamed
screen going back to virtual is the same size of change.
