PlasmaZones v1.11.8

Performance

• Signal-driven drag detection: Replaced the QTimer-based poll loop (32ms stacking-order scans during drag) with KWin's per-window windowStartUserMovedResized / windowFinishUserMovedResized signals for zero-cost, event-driven drag start/end detection. Eliminates the m_pollTimer entirely — no more periodic stacking-order iteration on the compositor thread, even as a safety net ([#167])
