- KWin 6.2's scripts have no maximize mode: a window counts as maximized
when it fills its output's maximize area.
- A late event for a window that just closed brought it back into
ft-floatd's table, so a profile "found" it open, floated a window that no
longer existed, and held a slot. The script doesn't report deleted
windows, and ft-floatd ignores events for ids it has seen close.
- Docking a window that came from a screen that's hidden now puts it on the
first screen that shows instead.

A profile is a named layout plus the screens it hides and its apps' windows
(docs/profiles.md). ft-layout save captures them (ft-floatd's "windows",
after the KWin script reports every window as it is now); use opens them:
the screens move, open windows of each app go to their places (on a screen,
maximized or not, or floating), and missing apps start, once and then again
for each window still missing 3 s after the first. Nothing closes.
The desktop starts in FT_PROFILE or default_profile (ft-layout start, from
the session script). Each profile gets a launcher entry (Frametop: NAME, in
SteamVR's Launch a program list) that switches to it or starts the desktop
in it. The relay's profile:NAME action and Input Settings' "Open profile"
entries put one on a key, mouse button, or controller button. Display
Settings' Layout page becomes Layout & profiles: Save as profile, Open
profile, the profile's apps, and Start in profile. Plasma's own session
restore is off in the Frametop session.

The input relay owns the float key now: float_toggle (Meta+Shift+F unless the
rules have their own key combinations) floats the window under the pointer, or
the active one over the wallpaper, and docks it if it floats. dock_all puts
every floating window back. Both are mappable to mouse and controller buttons,
and work without pointer mode. The KWin script no longer registers a shortcut,
and ft-floatd drops the old one. Key combinations move to Input Settings'
Keyboard page.
docs/floating-windows.md records the decisions from 2026-09-30 (the title bar
button, Launch as Standalone, profiles), and docs/profiles.md plans profiles.
