+* Fri Jul 03 2026 Anders da Silva Rytter Hansen <andersrh@users.noreply.github.com> - 6.6.4-16
+- Move panel floating animation coordination into the compositor via a private
+  _SONIC_WM_PANEL_ANIMATING X atom. The panel no longer throttles its own mask
+  updates; instead it tells the compositor when it is animating, and the
+  compositor batches blur/contrast region updates until the animation finishes.

 * Thu Jul 02 2026 Anders da Silva Rytter Hansen <andersrh@users.noreply.github.com> - 6.6.4-15
 - Reduce per-frame compositor work during panel floating animation:
   throttle blur/contrast mask updates and avoid setGeometry/slideWindow
