To implement a widget Canonical Layout that follows the recommended design
patterns:

1. The project **MUST** use Jetpack Glance.
2. You **MUST** locate the requested layout from the list under **Canonical Layout Reference Files**.
3. Copy the layout reference files into your project's target app module (e.g., `src/main/java/` and `src/main/res/`) in one step to implement the exact design and reduce the number of tool calls.
4. You **MUST** set override val `sizeMode: SizeMode = SizeMode.Exact` in the widget provider class.
5. Validate that your project compiles, updating sample package declarations, import paths, and class names to match the target app's package name.
6. Clean your project's widget code, removing unused classes (for example, unused buttons).
7. You **MUST** register the widget receiver in `AndroidManifest.xml` inside `<application>` after `<activity>`, ensuring `android:resource="@xml/..."` matches the filename of the copied Widget Info XML. Otherwise, the widget won't appear in the widget picker:
