How to listen for Fcitx5 input method change events (no polling)?

Hi, I'm trying to make my Waybar display update immediately when I switch input methods in Fcitx5, but I want to avoid polling. I’m on Wayland + Sway, using Fcitx5 as my input method framework.

I cannot find any clear documentation on whether Fcitx5 actually emits a signal when the current input method changes.

I use `fcitx5-remote -n` to get the current input method name.
