Describe the bug
I am using this configuration:

      "all_monitors": false,
      "name_map": {
        "11": "1",
        "12": "2",
        "13": "3",
        "14": "4",
        "15": "5",
        "16": "6",
        "17": "7",
        "18": "8",
        "19": "9"
      },
      "type": "workspaces"

I have workspaces 11-19 assigned to my second monitor. There is a bug occurring where whichever workspace is currently focused, is shown as the active workspace for both monitors. Eg. if I am on workspace 1 on my main monitor, the bar on my other monitor will also show workspace 1 as active, even though this workspace is actually 11 being renamed to 1. It seems that when a workspace is renamed using name_map, it is being treated the same as the original workspace.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Rename workspaces with name_map in the way shown above
Focus workspace 1 on your primary monitor
See that workspace 1 on the other monitor is also shown as active.

Expected behavior
The 1st workspace on my second monitor should not be shown as active.

System information:

Distro: nixos-unstable
Compositor: Hyprland
Ironbar version: ironbar 0.16.0-pre [rev b0132b]

Configuration

Screenshots
Both workspaces being active. Right monitor is primary, left is secondary. Left monitor is actually on workspace 2, but workspace 1 is being focused on the right monitor, so the bar is showing it as active for both.
