Describe the bug
Since hyprwm/Hyprland#16140, IPC format has changed, and Waybar no longer recognizes workspaces-related messages. (see https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/commit/e9e2f64ccfd53c5e0729f8266608c937bffebf7c#diff-fe6d64bbfaa55edfaed2a1b19e085593a2050d07805c33d12159e7670701067b)
Other hyprland modules may be affected too.
To reproduce
Launch Hyprland and try switching between workspaces.
