steam-backlog-enforcer/steam_backlog_enforcer/_desktop_env.py

"""Environment handed to processes launched into the user's desktop session.

The enforcer runs as root under systemd, so anything it starts on the desktop
user's behalf goes through ``sudo -u <user> env ...``. ``sudo`` resets the
environment, which makes the list below an *allowlist*: every variable the
desktop session needs must be named here explicitly, and every omission fails
silently rather than erroring.

Lives in its own module (like ``_steam_state``) so both ``library_hider`` and
``game_install`` can share one builder without forming an import cycle.

``XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`` is load-bearing and was missing here for a long time.
Without it Wine cannot reach ``$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/pulse/native``, silently falls
back from ``winepulse.drv`` to ``winealsa.drv``, and every Proton game gets raw
ALSA devices instead of the session's PulseAudio sink. That crashed Kingdom
Come: Deliverance II during its startup video, and looked like a corrupt
install because restarting Steam by hand - the thing a reinstall incidentally
does - was what actually cleared it.

Only ``XDG_RUNTIME_DIR`` is exported for audio, deliberately: pressure-vessel
reads it to bind-mount the pulse socket into the Steam Linux Runtime container,
whereas a hardcoded ``PULSE_SERVER=unix:/run/user/<uid>/pulse/native`` would
name a *host* path that need not resolve inside that container.

    A Steam launched in that window would name a runtime dir that is not
