Research direction

Start with bottles/backend/managers/installer.py at the install path around line 439, then inspect bottles/backend/utils/threading.py where the task runs. Reproduce the World of Warships installation from a Flatpak on the reported setup and capture the missing error details. Done means the install no longer fails at the reported executable-path handling.
