Research direction

Start by reproducing the login failure on CatchyOS with Hyprland/Wayland using RustDesk 1.4.3 and the listed Server Pro versions, then compare it with an X11 session. Check the reported behavior from the RustDesk iOS client and macOS client as well. Done means a Wayland session can complete login without the reported distro-version or x11-expected errors.
