 ### Added
 
+- **`PatternGrid::size( impl Into<Length> )`** — explicit side for the square grid, resolved through `Canvas::resolve_geom` like the other geometry overrides; without it the theme's fluid default still applies. A lock screen can now size the grid from the surface (a share of the width in portrait, of the free height in landscape) instead of being capped at the default.
 - **`xdg-session-management-v1` (client)** — before the first commit of a `ShellMode::Window` toplevel the runtime binds `xdg_session_manager_v1`, issues `get_session( reason, stored_id )` and `restore_toplevel( toplevel, "main" )`, so a supporting compositor restores window geometry on every launch. Bindings are generated in-tree from the vendored XML under `protocols/` with `wayland-scanner` (`src/protocol/`).
 - **Runtime session persistence** — `$XDG_STATE_HOME/<app_id>/session.json` (compositor session id, clean-exit marker, pid) plus `state.bin` (the bytes from `App::save_state`), written atomically with mode `0600`; saved every 30 s when the bytes changed, on close and on signal; handed back through `App::restore_state` before the first frame only on a session restore (`LTK_SESSION_RESTORE=1`) or after an unclean exit. Module `src/session_state.rs`.
 - **`Layer::Window` overlays** — an `OverlaySpec` with `layer: Layer::Window` is materialised as an ordinary `xdg_toplevel` of the given fixed size instead of a layer-shell surface: decorated, stacked and listed by the compositor like an application window. Anchor, exclusive zone and keyboard exclusivity are ignored; the compositor's close button delivers `on_dismiss`. `App::overlay_title( id )` (defaulted to the app id) names it. Layer-shell apps now bind `xdg_wm_base` when available so they can open one.

@@ -368,6 +368,8 @@ repeat, or taking in the node a straight stroke crosses is the app's
 rule, not the widget's. `on_release( msg )` fires when the finger lifts.
 `hide_stroke( true )` draws only the dots, against shoulder surfing;
 `error( true )` paints the current path in the palette's `danger` colour.
+`size( len )` sets the side of the square grid (any `Length`); without it the
+theme's fluid default applies, capped by the width the parent allocates.
 
 It sizes itself square to `min( max_width, 264 )` design pixels; wrap it
 in a `container( … ).max_width( … )` to pin it.
