The previous fix listed both profiles' primaries, "output": ["eDP-1",
"DP-1"] -- but DP-1 is the laptop's second monitor too, so the laptop
would have got a bar on it as well as on eDP-1. No static list can express
"the main monitor" when the two machines share an output name.
Resolve it at launch instead. hypr/scripts/bar asks Hyprland for the
monitor at position 0x0 -- the main monitor in both profiles -- writes
{"output": "<name>"} to ~/.cache/waybar-output.jsonc, and execs waybar;
waybar/config.jsonc includes that fragment. autostart/services, the
bar_reload bind and the performance script all go through the wrapper, so
a reload re-resolves after docking. Signals still target the waybar
process, not the wrapper.
Verified all three paths on mainPC: the fragment pins the bar to DP-1
only, an empty fragment falls back to a bar on every output, and a
fragment naming a disconnected output maps nothing (the failure mode this
started from). Config parses on both profiles.

hyprlang has been deprecated since Hyprland 0.55 and is dropped after 1-2
releases; this box runs 0.56.2. Migrate Hyprland's own config to Lua and
split the machine-specific parts into profiles.
Config:
- hyprland.lua entry point; the .conf tree is left in place as a rollback
path (Hyprland prefers hyprland.lua and only decides at startup).
- Each require() is its own Lua scope, so hyprlang's global "$VAR" no longer
crosses files: vars.lua / apps.lua / theme/colors.lua return tables.
- hypridle, hyprlock, plugins/* and pyprland.toml stay hyprlang -- the other
hypr* tools keep it.
Profiles (configs/profiles/):
- pc -> DP-1 / HDMI-A-1 / DP-2, all 1920x1080
- laptop -> eDP-1 3072x1920@120 scale 2.0, DP-1, HDMI-A-1 mirroring eDP-1
- Each owns its monitors and workspace-to-monitor mapping; common.lua
generates the 30 workspace rules from the three outputs.
- Selected by $HYPR_PROFILE, else hostname (mainPC -> pc), else laptop.
Fixes:
- pyprland.toml called swww, which is not installed; the wallpaper backend
here is awww. The rotation timer failed silently and both outputs stayed
at color: 000000.
- XF86InputRaiseVolume / XF86InputLowerVolume are not real keysyms (no
XF86Input* family in xkbcommon). They were dead in .conf too; hyprlang
ignored them silently, hl.bind rejects them. Commented out.
- SUPER+SHIFT+R was bound twice (notification reload + bar reload). hyprlang
ran both; in Lua the second would shadow the first, so they are merged.
- The waybar layer rule set no effects and was a no-op; dropped.
- Polkit autostart now picks hyprpolkitagent or polkit-gnome by what is
installed, so one file works on both machines.
Verified with `Hyprland --verify-config` on both profiles (config ok).
