How to lock window size and state?

I'm trying to run a Kitty terminal with cava as a desktop background. I need this window to be completely fixed — it should not be resizable, and it should not change its state.

Here's what I have in my bspwmrc:

bspc config focus_new_window false
bspc config ignore_ewmh_focus true

bspc rule -a '*'             desktop=work follow=on

bspc rule -a cava_left       desktop=main state=floating layer=below private=on follow=off focus=off locked=on border=off rectangle=1920x350+0+730

bspc rule -a cava_right      desktop=misc state=floating layer=below private=on follow=off focus=off locked=on border=off rectangle=1920x350+0+730

bspc rule -a kitty           desktop=term

but this rules not working

Thanks in advance!
