Description
When using the `stack` layout, opening a new window prevents yabai from resizing it correctly, resulting in an infinite re-rendering loop.
Please let me know if anything else is needed to debug this issue.
### Context:
- Versions:
- yabai: yabai-v7.1.24
- macOS: Tahoe 26.4.1
- Yabai config: https://github.com/samyakbardiya/dotfiles/blob/main/dot_config/yabai/yabairc
- Screen Recording: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Fa9LEMNVFadU83aeGWB7GLz7GhNChV4u&usp=drive_fs

Research direction
Start by reproducing the infinite re-rendering loop with the stack layout on yabai v7.1.24 and macOS Tahoe 26.4.1, using the linked yabairc configuration and screen recording for comparison. Trace the window-opening and resizing behavior; done means a newly opened window is resized correctly without repeated re-rendering.
