# Hyprland parks the instance started at login on the special:music workspace
# (see settings/hyprland.nix), so this toggles that window rather than opening
# a second terminal — a fresh process would mean another ~20s wait for its
# Spotify Connect device. Relaunch first if the window is gone, otherwise the
# toggle just reveals an empty workspace.

-- spotify-player lives on a special workspace for its whole
