Description
Briefly describe how the feature should work
Tiling Assistant should emit some kind of warning when it tries to tile a window (mostly happens with layouts) to smaller than the minimum window size.
Explain why this feature should be added
For example, currently Discord won't allow to be tiled into a vertical-3-split because that would exceed its minimum window width. But Tiling Assistant will happily put Discord on the rightside edge of the screen and let it tile outside of the screen margins.
This is not a bad thing per sé, but Tiling Assistant should be aware of it and optionally notify the user.

Research direction
Start by tracing the layout-related tiling path in Tiling Assistant and how it handles windows that cannot fit their minimum size. Review the issue's Discord vertical-3-split example and determine how an optional warning should be exposed. Done means oversized tiling is detected and users can choose whether to receive the warning.
