Description
Wayland windows are placed randomly, what if we saved window geometry per appId when the app is closed?
This is just an idea, I don't know if we can have a unique window id to make the algorithm find the windows when the placement is restored.

Research direction
Start by investigating how the shell currently places Wayland windows and whether appId provides a stable identity across closing and reopening. Determine whether windows can be matched reliably and define the expected behavior for saving and restoring per-app geometry; the issue does not name files or tests.
