Nested resize checks
Build and launch a preview with protocol and render logging:
cargo build --release --locked -p ferese -p ferese-shell
WAYLAND_DEBUG=1 FERESE_TRACE_PERFORMANCE=1 \
target/release/ferese --backend nested --grant-effects --grant-shell-control -- \
target/release/ferese-shell 2>/tmp/ferese-resize.log
Set a wallpaper, then drag each edge of the host window and repeatedly maximize and restore it. The wallpaper and bar should resize without long stalls. Check this at fractional scaling too.
Compare renderers
Repeat the check with ICED_BACKEND=wgpu and ICED_BACKEND=tiny-skia to compare
renderers. The shell and Settings prefer software rendering with GPU fallback,
which keeps Settings labels visible inside scrolling content but can be slower
when resampling wallpaper. Setting ICED_BACKEND explicitly overrides that
preference.
Follow the trace from host resize through layer configure, client acknowledgement,
new buffer commit and compositor rendering. A quick acknowledgement does not mean
the client has finished drawing. FERESE_TRACE_PERFORMANCE measures compositor
work, not shell rasterization.
Historical check
A KDE Wayland check at 175% scale used debug binaries and protocol tracing. Median configure acknowledgement was 1.35 ms with tiny-skia and 2.27 ms with wgpu. Wallpaper buffer intervals were 5919 ms with tiny-skia (only two buffers) and 9.85 ms median with wgpu. The captures had different durations, so these observations do not establish comparative throughput. GPU intervals also had stalls up to about 200 ms.
Repeat on the current build. A nested result does not establish direct-session resize or frame-pacing behavior.
Controlled slow client
Build the compositor and control tool, then run on a Wayland host:
cargo build --release --locked -p ferese -p feresectl
FERESE_TEST_RESIZE=1 FERESE_TEST_BINARY=target/release/ferese \
FERESE_TEST_CTL=target/release/feresectl \
python3 scripts/tests/test_resize_dependencies_isolated.py
The test creates a private nested desktop and two SHM clients. One acknowledges a resize immediately but withholds its new buffer until instructed. It checks that an independent first-column viewport target moves both windows together before the 300 ms deadline, while the slow client's raster and presented size stay held, then commits an actually resized raster. This is a state/coordinate check on the selected host renderer, not a smoothness or hardware benchmark.
For deterministic commit, supersession, multiple-client, timeout, unmap, workspace, swipe-cancel, stacked-column, prediction, hit-testing, snapshot and capture privacy coverage without a host desktop:
cargo test --locked -p ferese resize_dependencies_protocol_and_pixels -- --ignored
That test requires an offscreen EGL device, including a software device. Layout and dependency unit tests run without EGL in the ordinary workspace test suite. Viewport dependencies retain at most 32 relative target recipes; a longer burst falls back to a conservative linked wait until commit, deadline, or an absolute retarget. Existing resize snapshots and their handoff lifetime are reused.
