Research direction

Start by reproducing the black splash screen with Processing 4.4.4 from the Snap package in an Ubuntu 25.04 Wayland session, then compare it with X11. Inspect the Core/Environment/Rendering startup path. Done means Processing launches normally under Wayland without regressing its X11 behavior.
