PlasmaZones v2.8.2

Fixed

• Autotile windows pushed off-screen on retile (#271): When a window's minimum size exceeded its assigned zone (common with browsers on ultrawide monitors), the Wayland centering code centered the oversized window within the zone — pushing it to a negative x/y position, literally off the left edge of the screen. Oversized windows are now left/top-aligned in their zone instead of centered, staying on-screen while the daemon adjusts zone sizes.
• Min-size clearing regression from 2.8.1: Removed the indiscriminate m_windowMinSizes clearing in onScreenGeometryChanged() added in 2.8.1. The min-size feedback loop it guarded against was already eliminated by removing the targetZone.width() fallback, so the clearing just forced windows through unnecessary centering discovery cycles — triggering the off-screen push above.

Improved

• Autotile diagnostic logging: Added logging to key autotile paths — window open/remove events now log IDs and min-sizes, recalculateLayout logs zone geometries and split ratios, screen geometry changes are logged, and window eligibility rejections now include the reason. This makes autotile ratio issues diagnosable from journalctl without code changes.
