⚠️ Important Changes

Added

• X11 support: Hyprkan now monitors window focus changes using the python-xlib library to fetch active window class and title.
• Sway support: Integrated via i3ipc-python for window focus events and active window info.
• New CLI option to list all Kanata-defined layer names, now working correctly thanks to a TCP response fix in Kanata 1.8.1.
• Validation: Ensures layers defined in the Hyprkan config file exist in the Kanata configuration.
• Signal handling: Proper handling added to gracefully terminate the script on exit.
• New options: fake-key, set-mouse, change-layer, layers , current-window-info, current-layer-name, and current-layer-info
• Testing: Added basic pytest-based test coverage.
• New Rule Actions:
  • cmd: Run a shell command when the rule matches.
  • fake_key: Trigger a virtual key action
  • set_mouse: Move the mouse to specified coordinates

Changed

• Hyprland behavior: Now listens only to activewindow>> events, reducing noise and avoiding duplicate logs. This ensures correct layer switching when the focused window changes (e.g., title updates), while ignoring unrelated events.
• Kanata client: Now maintains a persistent TCP connection instead of reconnecting on every window focus event.
• Codebase: Refactored and reorganized for improved readability and maintainability.
• Logging: Improved clarity and consistency across all output.

Removed

• Dependencies: socat is no longer required — resolving a FileNotFoundError (see issue #2).
• Code: Removed unused or unnecessary logic for a cleaner codebase.
