window border gets positioned properly when komorebi starts, and window border should not persist when window closes

komorebic check Output

KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected: C:\Users\Null\.config\komorebi

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\Null\.config\komorebi

Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag

No ~/.config/whkdrc found; you may not be able to control komorebi with your keyboard

Additional context
I'm using ahk v2 to run apps:

#Enter::Run "wt.exe"

Pinning this for more visibility and to hopefully find others who are willing to work on fixing these remaining border bugs. 🤞

I'm working on a complete overhaul over the border code and I think I have nailed most of the common edge cases.

You can run from this branch if you'd like to try out the new approach (no config changes required) https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/tree/feature/border-manager

Ghost tiles have been fixed with https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/commit/6a1ed3bcaa8d1f6e75535778fc5bd51d9cc3c019

The retile command now also destroys and recreates all borders.

Closing this catch-all issue for now, please open new issues for specific edge cases you find in the future @nahid6970 @Zerogaku
