Try

#!/usr/bin/env bash

declare -A ws_names
while read -r ws; do
    id=$(echo "$ws" | jq '.id')
    name=$(echo "$ws" | jq -r '.name')
    ws_names["$id"]="$name"
done < <(niri msg --json workspaces | jq -c '.[]')

last=""

niri msg --json event-stream \
| jq -c 'select(.WorkspaceActivated)' \
| while read -r event; do
    id=$(echo "$event" | jq '.WorkspaceActivated.id')
    name="${ws_names[$id]}"
    if [[ "$name" != "$last" ]]; then

Try this one

#!/usr/bin/env bash

declare -A ws_names
ws_names[43]="Browser"
ws_names[44]="Code"
ws_names[45]="Terminal"
ws_names[46]="Files"

last_name=""

niri msg --json event-stream \
| jq -r 'select(.WorkspaceActivated) | .WorkspaceActivated.id' \
| while read -r ws_id; do
    ws_name="${ws_names[$ws_id]:-$ws_id}"

    if [[ "$ws_name" != "$last_name" ]]; then
        echo "$ws_name"
        last_name="$ws_name"
    fi
done

Run

#!/usr/bin/env bash

declare -A ws_names
last_name=""

niri msg --json event-stream | while read -r line; do
    event=$(echo "$line" | jq -c '.')
    
    if echo "$event" | jq 'has("WorkspacesChanged")' | grep -q true; then
        for ws in $(echo "$event" | jq -c '.WorkspacesChanged.workspaces[]'); do
            id=$(echo "$ws" | jq -r '.id')
            name=$(echo "$ws" | jq -r '.name // empty')
            [[ -n "$name" ]] && ws_names[$id]="$name"
        done
    fi

    if echo "$event" | jq 'has("WorkspaceActivated")' | grep -q true; then
        id=$(echo "$event" | jq -r '.WorkspaceActivated.id')
        name="${ws_names[$id]:-$id}"
        if [[ "$name" != "$last_name" ]]; then
            echo "$name"
            last_name="$name"
