Research direction

The payload only shows the launch log: the GPU process exits during initialization (viz_main_impl.cc, Chromium internals) on Ubuntu 24.04 under Wayland, and text fails to render. Start by reproducing on the same Ubuntu and Wayland setup and checking whether the GPU errors go away with Chromium's software-rendering or Ozone/Wayland flags. Done means the window renders text on Wayland, but the fix probably lies in the Electron launch configuration, which the payload does not show.
