swayosd --brightness lower doesn't lower brightness #12

If I am reading the documentation correctly, it seems like swayosd is supposed to be able to change the brightness of my display. However, when I run swayosd --brightness lower|raise doesn't make any effect. brillo -A 10 or brillo -U 10 both work fine, so it doesn't seem to be a permissions issue.

Additionally, no OSD is displayed whatsoever, but other OSD's displayed by swayosd work great (volume, caps lock)

Version: swayosd-git from AUR r18.8ef76c1-1
