Wofi and Bemenu windows don't appear in sway tree
Applications like Wofi or Waybar use the wlr-layer-shell protocol to control their windows. Sway does not manage these windows so they will not appear in the tree. If you are familiar with X11, its somewhat analogous to the override-redirect flag.

What to look for in Fedora Workstation 34
wlr- is the wlroots custom compositor protocol prefix. Protocols for wlroots are unlikely to be implemented by other compositors unless they are submitted to be standardized in wayland-protocols.

Something like gammy for F36 with Wayland?
Been using this https://github.com/Fushko/gammy/releases on F35. Now that Fedora defaults to Wayland on Nvidia cards i can't use it anymore (I could if i went back to X11 i suppose). I have tried https://github.com/maximbaz/wluma but it doesn't seem to work on fedora, even when compiling it myself. Anyone got a similar software that does work? I hate getting flashbanged when opening a website with a white background at 23:00.

Extension to invert colors if average pixel color would otherwise be over 50% bright (Automatic "emergency" dark mode to protect eyes)
You could look into potentially porting https://github.com/maximbaz/wluma to use gnome protocols. That does a lot of heavy lifting to make analyzing overall color efficient and battery-friendly, and I don't *think* it would require a whole lot of modification to get it to work nicely with mutter
