+Subject: [PATCH] Client: Force full repaint after output scale change
+See: <https://invent.kde.org/qt/qt/qtwayland/-/merge_requests/89>
+
+In handleScreensChanged(), after ensureSize(), call
+requestUpdate() and sendExposeEvent() for the entire window.
+This forces a full repaint at the new scale.
