+// Waybar configuration for a HyprCosmic session.
+//
+// Waybar's shipped default (/etc/xdg/waybar/config.jsonc) is built entirely
+// around sway/* modules and shows nothing at all under cosmic-comp, so this
+// exists rather than a handful of overrides.
+//
+// Module choices are constrained by what cosmic-comp actually advertises on the
+// Wayland registry, which was checked against a live session:
+//
+//   ext/workspaces  ext_workspace_manager_v1 -- advertised by stock cosmic-comp.
+//   wlr/taskbar     zwlr_foreign_toplevel_management_v1 -- NOT in stock
+//                   cosmic-comp; provided by the HyprCosmic fork's Patch A.
+//                   Under a stock compositor this module stays empty and the
+//                   rest of the bar still works.
+//   tray            Needs a StatusNotifierWatcher. cosmic-panel normally
+//                   supplies one via cosmic-applet-status-area, and the
+//                   hyprcosmic profile disables the panel, so waybar hosts the
+//                   watcher itself here.
