+# AUTO-PLACE into the colour column (Steve 2026-09-17: "I want all color continue" —
+# as soon as a tab gets a new colour, arrange it into that colour's correct place).
+# Fires ONLY on a successful colour paint (rc=0, not --off), for EVERY colour, via the
+# dot-screen-router's own single-window band math (DSR_MOVE_WINDOW). Runs in the
+# BACKGROUND so it never slows or blocks the paint, and best-effort (any failure is
+# swallowed — placement is cosmetic). The router already tiles all NON-frontmost windows
+# every pass; this covers the frontmost/active window the router deliberately skips, so a
+# tab that just changed its own colour snaps into place immediately. Kill-switch:
+# export TS_NO_AUTOPLACE=1  (also auto-skips if the router skill is absent).
