[<com.humble.SlayTheSpire>] Slay the Spire Sync Problem

Nobody has claimed this yet.

**Affected app**
Name: Slay the Spire
Package id: com.humble.SlayTheSpire

**Describe the bug**
The game hangs indefinitely on a "Synchronizing Data" screen at launch. Logcat shows GamesService binding correctly and a Play Games sign-in flow starting (GmsHttpFormClient requests an OAuth token for the "games_lite" scope), but no success or failure response is ever logged - the app just waits forever. FakeLicenseService's license check completes successfully before this, so licensing isn't the issue.

**To Reproduce**
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
1. Sign into a Google account via App Lounge / microG
2. Install Slay the Spire (paid, already owned)
3. Launch the app
4. It gets stuck on the sign-in/"Synchronizing Data" screen

***Workaround to run in Offline-Mode***
Enabling Airplane Mode before launch, then tapping the blank area next to the sync popup's button (not the button itself), causes the app to close and relaunch itself, after which it loads normally into offline/guest mode. This suggests the OAuth request needs to fail fast rather than hang to unblock the app.

**Expected behavior**
Sign-in should either complete or fail/time out gracefully instead of hanging indefinitely.

Reproduce the launch with logcat and start from the GamesService binding and GmsHttpFormClient OAuth request shown in the report; use FakeLicenseService only to confirm licensing is not involved. Trace the Play Games sign-in flow from the synchronizing screen. Done means sign-in completes or fails/times out gracefully instead of leaving the game hanging indefinitely.
