 setting that blanks a screen never reaches the file. The cards and the layout
 are locked while the bar waits, since Keep writes the draft as it stands.
 
+Virtual outputs (a tablet's, created at runtime) are left out of the page
+entirely: `Mon.js`'s `UNMANAGED` names them, so Apply never repositions one
+and Keep never writes a line that pins it, and whatever creates it keeps
+placing it.
+
 hyprctl only reports where a monitor ended up, so a monitor set to an `auto-*`
 position in the file reads back as exact. VRR is assumed to read the same
 way, as the active state rather than the configured one, so a `vrr = 2`
