Description
It should be possible to set the scale factor and relayout without completely recreating the layout, reshaping, etc.
Use case: relayouting when moving a window from one monitor to another where those monitors have different scale factors.

Research direction
The issue names scale-factor setting and relayout as the relevant entry points, but no files or tests are identified. Start by tracing how layout creation, shaping, and relayout currently handle scale factors; done means a scale factor can change and the layout can be updated without recreating it, including when moving between monitors with different factors.
