Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the linked swaynagmode README using Vimium's caret mode and the reported Brave/Linux environment. Start by tracing the caret-mode behavior when moving downward to the window edge. Done means the caret remains visible as the window moves, with a regression test covering the reported steps.
