[BUG]: komorebic start --bar causes unnecessary resizing

[helmesjo]

Summary

This is arguably a "bug" (at least in a UX-sense), but also border-line feature as well.

When you start komorebic along with the bar then the windows are tiled & resized first, then the bar pops up, then the windows are resized again.
Is there a specific reason for this, or should the order perhaps just be swapped?

OT but slightly related:
Is there a way to measure startup time of the individual parts? Eg. initial tiling, bar setup, whkd etc.

You can avoid the double-resize by setting your desired work_area_offset directly in komorebi.json instead of in komorebi.bar.json

For startup time benchmarking you could add your own to the start command handler - there are a few calls to sleep in there while polling and waiting for different pieces to come up in a certain order
