hyprland.lua loads nwg-displays monitors.lua but not workspaces.lua, so workspace-to-monitor assignments never apply

System details

Omarchy: 4.0.1-1
Kernel: 6.18.46-1-lts
Hyprland: 0.56.2
CPU: 13th Gen Intel Core i9-13900K
GPU: NVIDIA RTX A4500 (dual)
nwg-displays: 0.4.3-1
Monitors: DP-1 LG Ultra HD, DP-2 LG SDQHD, DP-3 LG SDQHD
hyprctl configerrors: clean
hyprctl plugin list: no plugins loaded

What's wrong?

The default ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.lua loads hypr.monitors but not hypr.workspaces:

require("hypr.monitors")
require("hypr.input")
require("hypr.bindings")
require("hypr.looknfeel")
require("hypr.autostart")

nwg-displays (0.4.3, the stock Arch package) writes both files when you save a display layout: monitors.lua via hl.monitor({...}) and workspaces.lua via hl.workspace_rule({...}). Both .lua paths are derived from the .conf path in the nwg-displays source (nwg_displays/main.py around line 905/937 for workspaces, nwg_displays/settings_applier/settings_applier.py around line 116/121 for monitors).

Because hyprland.lua requires only hypr.monitors, the monitor geometry applies but the workspace-to-monitor rules in workspaces.lua are never loaded. Workspaces then fall back to Hyprland's default placement, so the assignments set in nwg-displays silently do nothing. hyprctl configerrors stays clean, because the file is simply never required (not a parse error).

The same omission is present on the current quattro branch template (config/hypr/hyprland.lua), which requires hypr.monitors but not hypr.workspaces, and ships a monitors.lua template but no workspaces.lua.

Steps to reproduce

1. In nwg-displays, assign specific workspaces to specific monitors (for example ws 1 and 5 to DP-1, ws 2 and 6 to DP-2, ws 3 and 7 to DP-3) and Apply.
2. nwg-displays writes ~/.config/hypr/workspaces.lua with hl.workspace_rule({...}) entries (and monitors.lua).
3. hyprctl reload, or reboot.

Actual result

Workspace-to-monitor assignments do not apply. With a rule binding workspace 5 to DP-1, workspace 5 opens on a different monitor. Monitor geometry from the same nwg-displays run is correct, because monitors.lua is required.

Expected result

Workspaces open on the monitors assigned in nwg-displays, matching the hl.workspace_rule entries in workspaces.lua, consistent with how monitors.lua is already honored.

Workaround

Add one line to ~/.config/hypr/hyprland.lua:

require("hypr.monitors")
require("hypr.workspaces")
require("hypr.input")

After hyprctl reload the rules load and configerrors stays clean. Workspaces already created on the wrong monitor need to be moved once (or a fresh login), since workspace rules apply at creation time.

Suggested fix

Load hypr.workspaces from the default hyprland.lua, guarded so it is a no-op when the file is absent (a fresh install has no workspaces.lua), for example via the existing require_optional helper already used for the theme in default/hypr/omarchy.lua. That way users who set workspace assignments in nwg-displays get them honored, and fresh installs are unaffected.
