The "Upcoming" agenda widget used Glance's default SizeMode.Single: it was
composed once at the minimum size and the launcher stretched that single
RemoteViews when enlarged, so the text stayed small-widget-sized no matter how
big the widget grew. Reported as a "font size" request (#51), but it's really a
missing size-response.
Switch to SizeMode.Exact (like MonthWidget) and read LocalSize.current to pick
one of four tiers (COMPACT/REGULAR/LARGE/XLARGE), scaling type and row metrics.
Exact over Responsive so the ~30-day LazyColumn isn't replicated per tier.
Width picks the tier, height can only lower it. Width governs how much of a
title fits on a row, so it's what should drive type size; height only decides
how many rows are visible, so a tall narrow widget shows more events rather than
bigger text. Height does act as a cap, though, or a squashed widget would keep
the large type its width earned in a sliver of space. Thresholds are spread over
the width range a phone actually produces (measured on a Pixel/Nova: a compact
widget is 222dp wide, a large one 378dp) rather than a theoretical range, so the
tiers are reachable in practice; XLARGE is reserved for tablets/foldables.
COMPACT reproduces the original constants verbatim, so an existing widget is
visually unchanged. The tier logic lives in a pure, Glance-free AgendaScale.kt
(compose.ui.unit only) and is JVM-tested: the COMPACT baseline, the width
buckets, the height cap stepping a squashed widget down, and that height never
raises the tier.
No new setting: the widget follows the size the launcher/user already chose.
