What happened?

Description: I am encountering an IPC connection issue between Waybar and Zen Browser when using the AUR package for Zen Browser on Arch Linux (I am not using the Flatpak version). Specifically, when the Zen Browser is running, restarting Waybar results in the following trace:

[2024-10-09 23:03:35.008] [info] Hyprland IPC starting
[2024-10-09 23:03:35.008] [error] Hyprland IPC: Unable to connect?

I noticed in the Zen Browser Flatpak configuration file, and I suspect that the AUR version does not have specific permissions and arguments related to Wayland and IPC.

Details:

Zen Browser version: zen-browser-avx2-bin 1.0.1.a.7-1 package from the Arch AUR
Waybar version: waybar 0.11.0-3 package installed from Arch official repositories.
Hyprland version: hyprland 0.43.0-1 installed from Arch official repositories

What I have tested:

I have verified that the .socket.sock and .socket2.sock files exist in /run/user/1000/hypr.
The issue persists only when Zen Browser is running. The IPC connection error is resolved if I close Zen Browser and restart Waybar.
I am using the AUR version of Zen Browser, not the Flatpak version. I noticed in the Zen Browser Flatpak configuration file that there are specific permissions and arguments related to Wayland and IPC, which are not present in the AUR version.

Could the absence of these permissions or configurations in the AUR package be causing the IPC conflict with Waybar?

It would be great if the Zen Browser were available as a package in the official Arch repo. Else, I can relay the information I gather from you to the AUR package maintainer.

EDIT: Updated log.

Reproducible?
