 9-hy3 always tracks the latest (git) version of hyprland. It likely will not work when built against a given stable
10-hyprland release, however it will probably work within a few commits of the latest hyprland version. Please ping

12-if hy3 does not build or function against the latest hyprland commit.
13+hy3 has a tagged release for each hyprland update, and master tracks hyprland's main branch.
14+If you are running a release version of hyprland then use the matching tagged hy3 version.
15+If you are running an untagged hyprland release then use the `master` branch of hy3.

17-Commits are tested for obvious crashes before pushing and usually fine, however you may occasionally find a bug.
18+Commits are tested before pushing and will build against the hyprland release **in the flake.lock file**.
