Research direction

Reproduce the failure by clicking the Ubuntu dock launcher, then compare it with `flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam`, which still starts Steam. No file, test, or entry point is identified in the report; done means restoring launcher startup while preserving the working command-line launch.
