+# Restart the dashboard after editing dashboard.lua or a widget.

+# Conky never rereads its config, and the Lua is symlinked into
+# ~/.config/conky/, so a restart is the whole update path. Only a change to
+# conky.conf.in or the palette needs UDT's install.sh to re-render first.
+#
+# Relaunched through hyprctl with `[workspace special:dash silent]`: the
+# dashboard's window rule puts it on that workspace but cannot suppress the
+# switch to it, so a plain exec throws the dashboard up over whatever is on
+# screen.
