`ferese-screenshot --all` captures every enabled output as one image.
The editor window is sized from the captured image rather than the output, so a
small area selection does not open a large window. Sizing is advisory: the
compositor floats the editor at whatever size Satty requests, clamped to the
workspace.
A capture is assembled from the readback each output produces when it is next
redrawn, so a request is abandoned if an output has not been redrawn within 30
seconds. That is reported as an error rather than a partial or empty image, and
the request holds no resources once it is abandoned. Nothing is left in the
runtime directory: `feresctl screenshot` writes a private file that the caller
opens and unlinks, and any file a dead client leaves behind is reclaimed after
an hour.
