Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported `flatpak run com.valvesoftware.Steam -no-cef-sandbox -cef-disable-gpu` command on CachyOS and inspect the attached launch output, especially the read-only filesystem errors. No repository file, test, or entry point is named; done would require identifying a reproducible cause and confirming that Steam launches successfully after the relevant fix or configuration change.
