Research direction

Locate the Flatpak manifest or packaging configuration where --device=all is granted, then review the surrounding permissions. Replace the broad device access with the narrower --device=input and --device=dri permissions, and verify that gaming-controller input and GPU acceleration remain available without retaining unnecessary access.
