fix(linux): honor desktop display scaling #466

Description

@veryCrunchy

A Linux user reports that the desktop app ignores Wayland display scaling and requires desktop magnification. The report describes a pre-redesign August 2026 nightly; its older diagnostic archive is unavailable, so this has not yet been reproduced on the current app.

Acceptance criteria:

  • Verify fractional and integer display scaling on supported Linux desktops, including mixed-scale monitors where available.
  • Honor OS scaling without overriding explicit user JVM scale settings.
  • Keep text, pointer hit areas, window sizing, and image previews consistent.
  • Document tested runtime/display combinations and distinguish XWayland from native Wayland behavior.

Retest current packaged builds before choosing a runtime or application change.
