Merged another long time overdue niri PR: mouse cursor via metadata in PipeWire screencasts (lets you toggle Show Cursor on/off in OBS), and full mouse cursor support in window casts.
The cursor is visible only when the window is receiving mouse events—if you're moving the mouse on top of something else covering the target window, the cursor won't be (unintentionally) painted.
Thanks Abílio Costa (npub1znw…3tat) for driving this, including debugging a memory bug in PW!
