Subject: [PATCH] quickshell: fix the trace hiding the event it was added to
 catch
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The rawEvent gate keyed off launcherPanel.open, but the focus-grab clear
sets open=false before Hyprland's IPC event arrives, so the compositor
event around each clear was filtered out — the log came back empty. Key
off a timestamp instead, and report who holds focus when the grab clears.
