Thanks for the pointer. I ran journalctl -b0 > journal.txt as requested
— attached (covers boot from aug 02 12:00 to aug 03 08:20, ~20h uptime,
MUTTER_DEBUG_FORCE_KMS_MODE=simple and
MUTTER_DEBUG_TRIPLE_BUFFERING=never both disabled during this boot to
make sure the freeze could still occur).

I grepped the whole file for drmModeAtomicCommit/Page flip failed/Cursor
update failed and found only 3 hits in the entire 20h boot. All three
turned out to be unrelated to the actual freeze once I checked their
context:

- One coincides exactly with a USB dock being unplugged (mass USB disconnect in 
the same second)
- One coincides exactly with the laptop lid closing and suspend starting
- One coincides exactly with a Howdy face-login/unlock transition, immediately 
followed by normal activity (file manager, desktop icons launching fine)

None of them line up with the actual freeze I experienced this morning
(external LG monitor showing fullscreen video + scrolling on the laptop
screen, after docking and resuming from suspend — whole external output
froze including the cursor, recovered via VT-switch Ctrl+Alt+F3→F2). I
also checked for any gap in journal timestamps during that session
(looking for a period where the system itself might have stalled) — no
gap over ~60 seconds anywhere, so the rest of the system keeps logging
normally while the compositor/output silently stops producing frames.
This matches two earlier incidents I had, which were also completely
silent in the logs.

So: the default journal doesn't seem to capture anything at all during
the actual stall. Is there a more verbose debug mechanism I could enable
ahead of time to catch this — e.g. MUTTER_DEBUG=kms or similar — that
would log KMS/atomic-commit/frame-scheduling activity even when nothing
rises to the level of a normal log message? Happy to run with that
enabled for a few days and report back once it reproduces.
