Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the window-snapping and layout-management entry points in the TypeScript GNOME Shell extension, then compare the requested behavior with the linked AquaSnap example. Done means windows can snap to the existing borders of other windows and form a window group.
