Description
Mos likely this is because of my laptop hadware - partially. Because it switch screen black without asking OS unlike all my previous ones. (OLED screen ). But here is the thing - I implemeneted the lid workaround suggested here.
- Autostart: swayidle timeout 0 'output-power-management -d' resume 'output-power-management -e'
- On acpid lid action I call pkill -USR1 swayidle.
With this setting when I open the lid I can wage up just touching any key or even touchpad. But - only in the case when I did not inhibit idle using Alt-B in idle plugin.
Not sure if it is an issue with wayfire, wlroots or even wayland itself - with Xorg/compiz things were working fine.
Also thinking about workaround - like change behvavior of idle plugin instead of inhibiting idle (or as additional shortcut maybe) add a possibity to increase DPMS timeout for some signifficant value. Maybe even ipc script - not sure if there is a dpms timeout set in ipc protocol

Research direction
Start by reproducing the black-screen behavior with the reported swayidle, acpid lid action, and idle-plugin inhibition setup. Read the idle plugin and IPC protocol entry points mentioned in the report, and compare behavior across Wayfire, wlroots, and Wayland. Done means identifying the responsible component and documenting or implementing an agreed fix or workaround.
