Niri window rule is wrong and gives errors


Summary by cubic

Fixes the Niri window rule in the README so it no longer produces errors. Replaces the invalid default-floating-size option with default-column-width and default-window-height.

RetriggerConfidence Score: 5/5

No blocking issue identified; the README change is safe to merge.

What we checked:

  • I observed that the previous default-floating-size rule failed validation (exit 1). T-Rex
  • I confirmed that the updated rule passed (exit 0) after the change. T-Rex
  • I consulted Niri’s v26.04 documentation and noted that default-column-width also applies to floating windows and shows fixed dimensions with open-floating as opening properties. T-Rex
  • I interpreted this to mean the 500×430 initial configure request is supported as an opening property, not a universal guarantee for all clients. T-Rex
  • Artifacts capturing the validation script and log outputs were prepared to support reviewer inspection. T-Rex

Summary

The README replaces an invalid Niri floating-size directive with separate width and height rules for the intended 500×430 launcher size. The updated rule passed Niri 26.04 configuration validation. No actionable issue was found.
