Research direction

Start by reproducing the lag with the Hammerspoon console and Loop resize steps on macOS Sequoia 15.7.4, using Loop 1.4.2. Profile the resize interaction to identify the bottleneck; done means resizing is responsive and no longer exhibits the reported lag. No source file or test is named in the issue.
