Workspaces get moved and are not reachable when adding & removing monitors #651

Describe the bug

Bug summary:

When adding/removing monitors

  1. workspaces get moved between monitors
  2. workspaces beyond the configured workspace numbers are created. No shortcut to these workspaces exist

How to reproduce

Starting point:

  1. AeroSpace v0.15.2-Beta b6cf82771f245ab7349a93baf8709e171537ff58
  2. monitor1: workspace 10
  3. monitor2: workspace 8
  4. laptop lid: closed
  5. no other workspaces exists
  6. Configuration parts: 
    
...
[workspace-to-monitor-force-assignment]
8 = 'Monitor2'

[mode.main.binding] alt-0 = 'workspace 10' alt-1 = 'workspace 1' alt-2 = 'workspace 2' alt-3 = 'workspace 3' alt-4 = 'workspace 4' alt-5 = 'workspace 5' alt-6 = 'workspace 6' alt-7 = 'workspace 7' alt-8 = 'workspace 8' alt-9 = 'workspace 9'



7. Open the Macbook lid

Results in:
monitor1: workspace 11 (not reachable via shortcut)
monitor2: workspace 8
laptop screen: workspace 10 (moved from monitor1)

Issues:
1. workspace 10 should have stayed on monitor1 and not moved
2. workspace 11 can't be reached via keybinding, the other workspaces (1-7 and 9) are unassigned.

Same setting & steps above:
8. I close the laptop lid

Result:
1. monitor1: keeps workspace 11
2. monitor2: workspace 8 & 10. workspace 10 is the active workspace. Before workspace 8 was active and should have stayed active

Continuing with above flow:
9. opening macbook display

Result:
1. monitor1: gets workspace 10 (that was previously on monitor2)
2. monitor2: gets workspace 8 (that is pinned to this monitor)
3. laptop display: gets workspace 11 (that was on monitor1 before)

I am also facing this issue. I have two monitors, and when I shift focus between one node to the other in a different monitor, I can't go back

You Macbook built-in monitor is configured as main monitor in system settings, that's why it happens

workspaces beyond the configured workspace numbers are created

Works as expected. Please search for "phantom workspaces" in the issue tracker, it was answered numerous times
