For yabai to actually manage windows, we need to use the accessibility API to request an operation to be performed.

This AX reference can only be created when the window is located on a visible space. If yabai is launched while a user session is in progress, one must visit all spaces manually for yabai to report information about those windows in queries.

Yabai can detect these windows and retrieve a subset of the information to include in window query results, instead of ignoring them completely. However they will not be valid operands for commands that take a <window_sel> argument.
