Description

Steam was working just fine and I restarted it and now it's not working. When ran from terminal it just says this then closes.
```
[als@fedora ~]$ flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam

INFO:root:Will set XDG dirs prefix to /home/als/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam

Research direction

Start by reproducing `flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam` on Fedora and capture output after “requirements are satisfied”; investigate the reported input-device permission warning and the point where Steam closes. Done means Steam launches reliably with the relevant Flatpak permissions confirmed.
