Research direction

Start by reproducing the profile-duplication sequence on the reported Manjaro Flatpak setup, using the linked OBS log for context. Trace the profile duplication flow and Twitch panel state handling; the issue is done when duplicating a connected Twitch profile no longer removes panels from the original profile and the panels remain restorable.
