hyprland-autoname-workspaces: [BUG] Changes in workspace names no longer reflected in waybar when using "hyprland/workspaces"

Describe the bug Waybar has recently merged the "hyprland/workspaces" module into the new release, and as of my experiment with hyprland version 0.29.1, the old "wlr/workspaces" module no longer works for hyprland on waybar, so I will be forced to switch to the hyprland workspaces module when I eventually upgrade my local hyprland.

When using the new hyprland workspaces module, the workspace name is no longer dynamically updated when a new window is opened or closed, even though when I run waybar --log-level trace Hyprland IPC is still sending the correct event including the updated workspace names.

The updates are only reflected when I manually reload waybar (i.e. pkill waybar && hyprctl dispatch exec waybar).

This could be a bug with the hyprland/workspaces module, please let me know how I can raise an issue there, including what specifically needs to be implemented, etc. Many thanks!

Program version?

hyprland-autoname-workspaces 1.1.7

Program configuration dump? (ideally)

• Run hyprland-autoname-workspaces --dump

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Update waybar to v0.9.22 or higher.
2. Configure waybar to use the module “hyprland/workspaces” to display the workspaces.
3. Launch waybar.
4. Open/Close windows that should be reflected in the workspace name generated by hyplrand-autoname-workspaces.
5. See error.

Expected behavior Workspace name generated by hyprland-autoname-workspaces correctly reflected on waybar.
