I'm probably missing something and put two and two together and got six.
(I think I have mentioned it before but)
the stretching of unprimed canvas happens when it's sprayed with water prior to priming. The canvas is unsafronised it shrinks when wetLinen or preprimed canvas are a different kettle of fish
But way beyond that, there are 1001 way to do something and, you've honed in what you're doing to work for you..It doesn't help that the same word is used for different process. So, putting the canvas around the frame with staples is getting it to tension (normally relatively lose but size does matter).. (it won't sound like a drum, ping, when tapped) . Spraying with water will shrink (stretch) the canvas. Bringing it to a lovely drum vibration when tapped.
Gesso primer has water in too! -

I've migrated from the DIY, I'm not trying to stalk you, I do just care.
trust me, no-one at art school [/very few UK art schools] will give you the bonafide answer or a how to on this, as it is all very much make it up yourself and refine your own work process, despite 100s of years of practise to go from..- from this image using this developed technique I think you're easily allowing yourself to over stretch the canvas
