why does clearing this skia and glfw canvas result in black instead of transparent if the window is full screen?

I'm trying to use skia-python with glfw to draw various shapes and text onto a transparent floating overlay. I have a small demo working for my purposes, but it behaves differently if the window is created with full screen resolution versus created with anything smaller.

The code here alternates between drawing some red text or a green circle, and attempts to clear the canvas in between using canvas.clear(skia.ColorTRANSPARENT). This behaves exactly as I want if the window is created with dimensions anything less than 1920x1080 (the resolution of my screen). If I create the window with these full screen dimensions, instead of clearing the canvas this call fills the screen with black (and then the rest of the code still works, alternating between text and circle).

import contextlib, glfw, skia
from OpenGL import GL
import time

WIDTH, HEIGHT = 1920, 1080
#WIDTH, HEIGHT = 1919, 1079

@contextlib.contextmanager
def glfw_window():
    if not glfw.init():
        raise RuntimeError('glfw.init() failed')
    glfw.window_hint(glfw.STENCIL_BITS, 8) # ?
    glfw.window_hint(glfw.SAMPLES, 14) # ?
    glfw.window_hint(glfw.DECORATED, 0)
    glfw.window_hint(glfw.TRANSPARENT_FRAMEBUFFER, 1)
    glfw.window_hint(glfw.FLOATING, 1)

    window = glfw.create_window(WIDTH, HEIGHT, '', None, None)
    glfw.make_context_current(window)
    yield window
    glfw.terminate()

@contextlib.contextmanager
def skia_surface(window):
    context = skia.GrDirectContext.MakeGL()
    (fb_width, fb_height) = glfw.get_framebuffer_size(window)
    backend_render_target = skia.GrBackendRenderTarget(
        fb_width,
        fb_height,
        0,  # sampleCnt
        0,  # stencilBits
        skia.GrGLFramebufferInfo(0, GL.GL_RGBA8))
    surface = skia.Surface.MakeFromBackendRenderTarget(
        context, backend_render_target, skia.kBottomLeft_GrSurfaceOrigin,
        skia.kRGBA_8888_ColorType, skia.ColorSpace.MakeSRGB())
    assert surface is not None
    yield surface
    context.abandonContext()

def drawString(canvas):
    paint = skia.Paint(AntiAlias=True, Color=skia.ColorRED)
    font = skia.Font(skia.Typeface('meiryo'), 36)
    canvas.drawString('あかさたな', 100, 100, font, paint)

def drawCircle(canvas):
    paint = skia.Paint(Color=skia.ColorGREEN)
    canvas.drawCircle(100, 100, 40, paint)

with glfw_window() as window:
    GL.glClear(GL.GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT)

    with skia_surface(window) as surface:
        with surface as canvas:
            while (glfw.get_key(window, glfw.KEY_ESCAPE) != glfw.PRESS
                   and not glfw.window_should_close(window)):
                canvas.clear(skia.ColorTRANSPARENT)
                if int(time.time()) % 2 == 0:
                    drawString(canvas)
                else:
                    drawCircle(canvas)
                surface.flushAndSubmit()
                glfw.swap_buffers(window)
                glfw.poll_events()
                #glfw.wait_events()

For the purpose of demonstration, this is the entire working demo. Most of it comes from this skia-python documentation. I think the only packages it needs are glfw (2.5.3), PyOpenGl (3.1.6), and skia-python (87.4)

My actual use case will use a slightly different loop and doesn't need to draw to the screen as frequently as this demo, but it does need to periodically clear the canvas. I don't actually need it to be perfectly full screen, I can use 1919x1079, mostly I'm just curious what's going on here. This is being tested on Windows 10 with Python 3.10 by the way

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
