PlasmaZones v1.11.7

Event-driven cursor tracking: Cursor position updates during drag are now driven by slotMouseChanged instead of the poll timer, eliminating QTimer jitter from the compositor frame path and providing more accurate cursor tracking at input-device cadence
Throttled dragMoved signals: DragTracker::updateCursorPosition() throttles dragMoved emissions to ~30Hz via QElapsedTimer, preventing D-Bus flooding from high-frequency (1000Hz) mouse input
Eliminated QDBusInterface for WindowDrag: Replaced QDBusInterface with QDBusMessage::createMethodCall for all WindowDrag D-Bus calls (dragStarted, dragMoved, dragStopped, cancelSnap), avoiding synchronous D-Bus introspection that could block the compositor thread with a ~25s timeout if the daemon is registered but slow to respond
Pre-parsed activation triggers: Activation triggers are now parsed from QVariantList to POD structs (ParsedTrigger) once at load time, removing per-call QVariant unboxing overhead from anyLocalTriggerHeld() (~30 calls/sec during drag)
