+# dialoghelper is X11-specific but is built unconditionally, even with
+# KWIN_BUILD_X11=OFF. It includes <private/qtx11extras_p.h> and <xcb/xcb.h> at
+# top level and calls QX11Info::setAppUserTime / XCB_CURRENT_TIME, all behind a
+# RUNTIME check (platformName() == "xcb") that is always false on a Wayland-only
+# session. qtbase does not install the private X11 interop header for this
+# target, so the build fails:
+#   dialoghelper.cpp:22:10: fatal error: private/qtx11extras_p.h: No such file
+# and the compiler then falls back to the HOST /usr/include/qt6, which errors
+# with "Qt has not been ported to this OS" -- a misleading second symptom of the
+# same missing header, not an independent problem.
+# Upstream oversight: the helper should be gated on KWIN_BUILD_X11.
+# Idempotent: once commented, ^add_subdirectory no longer matches.

 # TEMPORARY DEBT -- systembell (audible bell) is the ONLY consumer of Canberra
 # in KWin (src/plugins/systembell/*). kwin's find_package(Canberra REQUIRED) is
 # ungated, so the whole compositor fails to configure over one optional plugin.
