Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on a Steam Link device with an Xbox One Bluetooth gamepad, following the launch, stream-start, and LB+RB+Select+Start end-stream steps. Compare behavior before and after reconnecting the gamepad; done means the gamepad remains responsive through Moonlight launch and stream termination.
