Research direction

No file, test, entry point, or affected game title is mentioned. Start by reproducing the launch behavior with Proton 7.0-4 and Proton Experimental, then trace where the administrator warning is produced; done means identifying whether the behavior is a Proton bug or a compatibility limitation and documenting a verified resolution.
