Feature request: Allow for tracking window identity (IDs) in custom layouts on Sonoma about amethyst HOT 3 CLOSED

Figured it out. Unstable JSON key ordering!

Also, I very much appreciate the kind words. I've considered various open source funding mechanisms, but when it comes down to it I think it would be a source of stress beyond my normal software job stress, and I would prefer to do this because I care about it when I have time.

I just looked into working around this, by reconstructing the state from the window positions, but now I don't think that's a feasible workaround. That's because the updateState functions in each command get a focusedWindowID and return a state, like so:

    commands: {
      command1: {
        description: "Move window to left pane",
        updateState: (state, focusedWindowID) => {
          state.runCommand(focusedWindowID, LEFT); // my code
          return state;
        }
      },

But because the window IDs are no longer stable, I cannot return a state that the next call to getFrameAssignments can meaningfully act on.
