> So it's either that, or you can leave the window contents in place at the last size the client gave you, and track the new size with an outline. Which is 100% possible to implement within Wayland.

This also seems to cover the use case you are looking for, similar to how some older WMs worked.

Equally as temporary and short as for client-side decorations. Although I still maintain CSDs are likely to be even more responsive for the reasons I listed above.
