Every rebuild while docked re-lit the panel and threw a workspace onto it. Not forgetfulness: a rebuild PERFORMS an undock. Dock mode lived only in the compositor (`keyword monitor <internal>, disable`, nothing written down), the config's only monitor line is the catch-all `monitor=,preferred,auto,1`, and rewriting the config makes Hyprland reload it — re-enabling every output. Our own undock path already uses `hyprctl reload` as exactly that hammer (hardware-proven 2026-07-14). The watcher could not rescue it: reconcile diffs `monitors all`, which lists disabled outputs, so the connected set is identical across the flip — structurally blind, the blind spot of rounds 4-5's "the output set is the truth". So the intent is recorded where every other setting lives — settings.display.dockMode, in-flake, menu-writable — written at the one choke point both menu and watcher pass through (transition: dock → true, undock → false, `enable` of an internal → false, because "Screen on" IS leaving dock mode and must not be undone a second later). The watcher re-asserts it as a tick invariant rather than an event reaction, which is what makes the reload case work; auto_dock was already idempotent, so it costs one `hyprctl monitors` per tick. The trap avoided: baking the disable into the config would survive a reload and hand a user with no external a zero-output session at login — the #100/#127 brick. The config cannot know what is plugged in, so it keeps defaulting to "everything on" and the re-assert is gated on an external being present. Verified: 9/9 gates unit-tested by driving the REAL generated function against stubs (incl. no-external → never re-dock, profile active → yield, already-docked → no churn), plus the state write/read round-trip on a throwaway checkout so the live flake was untouched. V3 queued — needs a relogin, the watcher is exec-once. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
