[regression] hyprctl keyword monitor transform broken (silently ignored)

Already reported ? *

• I have searched the existing open and closed issues.

Regression?

Yes

System Info and Version

System/Version info

On NixOS after recent update. Tried versions from current git down to 0.44.0 via flake input, no difference

EDIT: I tried 0.43.0 and there screen transform worked. So the regression was introduced after that.

Description

hyprctl keyword monitor 'eDP-1,transform,3'

(or other orientations) return ok but don't do anything. Debug log shows nothing suspicious relating.

I've double checked the correct monitor name with hyprctl monitors. It also shows the value of transform: 0 regardless what I applied with hyprctl.

How to reproduce

Do

hyprctl keyword monitor 'eDP-1,transform,3'

on recent versions and observe nothing happens.

Crash reports, logs, images, videos

can you bisect

The breakage was introduced with this PR: https://github.com/hyprwm/Hyprland/pull/7571/files
The last working commit is b1ad2d8

It was quite tedious to find, because I couldn't reproduce the issue in a nested Hyprland instance...

are you sure you do not have some output configuration daemon? With that commit, they take priority (kanshi, shikane, etc)
