#!/usr/bin/env python3 """Keep Chrome's first window tiled and make later windows usable popups. Chrome gives the main browser and its secondary top-level windows the same app_id, the same process and often nothing else to tell them apart. The only stable fact is creation order, so this remembers the first Chrome container and treats every later one as secondary. Page titles are deliberately ignored. The close affordance for a secondary window lives in the dock. An earlier attempt anchored a layer-shell button to the popup's own corner and moved it whenever the window moved; on real hardware it chased the window and flickered, because every position change meant tearing a surface down and building another one. The dock is already on screen, already owns the classroom's visual language, and does not move. This publishes which window the dock's Close button should act on, and the dock does the rest. Driven by Sway's own window events rather than a poll, so a window that is being dragged costs nothing.
