Research direction

Start by separating the reported battery-only shutdown from the mintUpdate messages in /usr/lib/linuxmint/mintUpdate/mintUpdate.py and flatpak-update-worker.py. Reproduce the behavior on Linux Mint Xfce 22 while unplugged, then identify relevant logs or a reproducible trigger; the issue is resolved only when the responsible component and expected behavior are established.
