Research direction

Start by reproducing the black screen with Path of Building on Arch Linux, KDE Plasma, Wayland, and an Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti. The issue names no source file, test, or entry point, so first locate the Linux frontend startup path and compare its behavior under this environment. Done means the frontend renders normally instead of opening as a black screen.
