+// can render (loading placeholder, loaded forecast, error message), and both
+// `toggle_popup` and `view_window` must agree on that size exactly.
+//
+// Violating either invariant previously killed the applet: the compositor was
+// told the surface could be up to 3206px wide (`toggle_popup` measured the
+// forecast in *bytes* via `str::len`, and the box-drawing characters are 3
+// bytes each) while `view_window` laid out 1106px (measuring in *chars*). The
+// popup then also resized when the async fetch replaced "Loading…" with the
+// much wider table. Either way the surface attached a buffer before acking the
+// initial `configure`, and the compositor terminated us with:
+//
+//   xdg_surface#83: error 3: must ack the initial configure before attaching buffer
+//
+// Everything below is therefore derived from fixed constants and never from the
