Research direction

The issue points to the Wayland text-input-unstable-v3 protocol and can be reproduced with the foot terminal; start by reading that protocol and reproducing the reported compositor warning. Done means the compositor implements the interface sufficiently for foot's IME path instead of reporting it unavailable.
