Research direction

The payload names no source files or tests, so the entry point is unknown. Start with the attached savagewind.log and the HDR On and Off screenshots to see how the output differs, then find where the HDR output path is configured for Linux and Wayland. Done means the HDR-on image on KWin Wayland looks normal rather than dim and washed out, with HDR-off output unchanged.

What happened, and how to make it happen again

Enabling HDR produces dim washed out image on Linux. I have 1000 nit monitor which is properly calibrated to display HDR content on KWin Wayland 6.8.2. If I disable HDR in game picture becomes normal.
