Description
### Description
- Large offset while using the web version on iPad.
- Using the apple pencil to draw with the brush tool on the iPad surface, there is a large noticable offset of the ink appearing from the tip of the pencil touching the screen.
- The brush ink also flows outside of the artboard (although I suspect this might be by desgin)

### Other details
- Safari version: 26
- iOS version: iPadOS 26.0
- iPad model: iPad Pro 13 inch, 2024
### Preliminary thoughts
- The mismatch is CSS px vs device px and/or origin differences.

Research direction
Start with editor/src/messages/tool/tool_messages/brush_tool.rs and reproduce the offset using the web version on the reported iPad and Apple Pencil setup. Compare the pointer position with the rendered brush location, considering the reported CSS-pixel, device-pixel, and origin differences. Done means brush strokes follow the pencil tip without the reported offset and the observed artboard behavior is verified.
