workspace = "special:something" + float windowrules crash HL

[hachimagi]

Hyprland version

v0.57.1

Is this a regression?

no idea

What's the bug?

certain windowrules (or exec_cmd params) combined with moving a window to a special workspace crash hyprland, notably floating the window.
this does not happen if you move to the workspace silently, eg workspace = "special:wp silent" instead of workspace = "special:wp"

workspace = "special:<name>" rule also just straight up doesnt work when it doesn't crash

ergon said its because the workspace doesn't exist yet

Reproduction steps

run this
hyprctl eval 'hl.exec_cmd("kitty", {float= true, workspace = "special:test"})'
