[BUG]: Initial Workspace Rule Doesnt Apply Immediately
Summary
I have the following rule:
"initial_workspace_rules": [
{
"kind": "Exe",
"id": "WindowsTerminal.exe"
}
]
I am finding that when I open the app, I have to select another window, this minimizes the app, then when I re-open the app, the rule runs. Please see the video below:

No KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected, defaulting to C:\Users\nicholas.knight
Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\nicholas.knight
Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag
Found C:\Users\nicholas.knight\.config\whkdrc; key bindings will be loaded from here when whkd is started, and you can start it automatically using the --whkd flag
what I would suggest right away is to always use the matching_strategy just like you do here
