panel kitten: add override redirect flag
I'm afraid I am not willing to add a dependency on xdotool for this. It should be perfectly possible to implement it using xprop. Figure out what properties xdotool is setting on the window and emulate it with xprop. Most likely it will be something from here: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/wm-spec-latest.html#idm46409511133632
When you change the example code (option text role):
:option:`kitty +kitten panel -o` font_size=20
to
:option:`kitty +kitten panel -o font_size=20`
Are you sure you will get the desired result?
generated/cli-kitten-panel.rst:43: WARNING: unknown option: kitty +kitten panel -o font_size=20
You can build and check for problems after modifying the document.
I don't think this can be achieved with xprop. Override redirect is a window attribute, not a property. These are two different things in X11.

I misunderstood that. I thought it was like a code block or something.
Then make the dependency optional. Or better implement it in the glfw x11 backend and use that. It is on my TODO list to get rid of the dependency on xprop as well, by implementing the needed code in glfw.
I just committed code to drop xprop from the panel kitten. You can use it as a template.
XChangeWindowAttributes results in a "BadWindow" error. I have no idea why.
Probably because the window has to be mapped before you can change its attributes. Just a guess, it's been a while since I worked with Xlib.
