The rest of FR-DSP-8. The develop session now carries the space its
canvas is encoded into, and `render` composes for it instead of for
sRGB — which is the whole of the change to the pixel path, because the
output space was always a parameter of composition and always entered
the structure hash. A display change is a recomposition.
The space is set on the way into every render rather than pushed when
the window moves, so a photograph opened while the window already sits
on the second monitor is right on its first frame instead of flashing
the wrong colour until the next poll.
Which display that is comes from sampling the window's position and
scale factor twice a second — Slint reports neither a move nor a
display change — and re-surveying only when they differ. Settings shows
what came back under ABOUT: the display, the space, why, and the other
monitors, because the failure FR-DSP-8 names is one that is invisible
from the display you are reading the page on.
Fractional scaling: the canvas is now rendered at the physical pixel
size of the box it occupies rather than the logical one, so the
compositor presents it 1:1. At 1.25 it was previously handed 1600
samples to fill 2000 device pixels, and the softness that produces
reads like a bad demosaic rather than like a scaling bug.
