Flatpak packaging and updates

• Built packaging and distribution infrastructure with desktop integration, AppStream metadata, and signed updates hosted on Cloudflare R2.
• Simplified Flatpak builds to use one manifest and added repository publishing for automatic updates.

Steam and Linux compatibility

• Fixed Steam launching from Flatpak using xdg-open, with separate handling for Steam Deck game mode.
• Added access to Steam’s Flatpak directory so r2modman can detect Flatpak Steam installations.

Northstar across the Thunderstore ecosystem

My Northstar compatibility work spans Thunderstore's game definitions, r2modman, and NorthstarLauncher.

I tracked down two path-handling issues that prevented Northstar from loading profiles under Proton. r2modman supplied a Unix path where the launcher expected a Windows path, and NorthstarLauncher incorrectly treated absolute profile paths as relative to the game directory.

• Contributed a merged Thunderstore ecosystem-schema fix that switches Titanfall 2's Northstar configuration from steam-direct to the standard Steam runner, fixing Linux launching while preserving Northstar launch arguments.
• Contributed a merged NorthstarLauncher fix that preserves absolute profile paths in both loaders; submitted the companion r2modman fix to translate profile paths for Proton.
• Built the patched launcher with MSVC under Wine, built a local r2modman Flatpak, and verified the combined fix under Proton.

Ongoing maintenance

I maintain the Flatpak packaging and update pipeline, test Steam integration, and investigate Linux compatibility issues.
