Addresses reported symptoms after adding Cemu/Azahar/PCSX2/Dolphin/ES-DE
as non-Steam games in Wolf's Steam app: a launched emulator opens at
roughly half the screen, and the controller doesn't respond.
Half-screen: a non-Steam game launched from Steam is a second top-level
window inside Wolf's single-app Steam Sway session (RUN_SWAY=true) —
Sway's own kiosk config only auto-fullscreens the ONE window it expects
(Steam's own), so anything launched from inside Steam opens at whatever
default size it requests instead. steam-add-nonsteam-game and
steam-setup-frontends now route the launch through a small generated
wrapper (emulators/steam-fullscreen-wrap) that launches the real binary
and repeatedly asks Sway to fullscreen whatever currently has focus for
a few seconds after launch. NOT yet confirmed live against a real Wolf
Steam session — if swaymsg isn't reachable from inside that container,
the wrapper's loop just fails silently (2>/dev/null) and the launch is
unaffected, so this is safe to try either way.
Since every wrapped shortcut now shares the same Exe (the wrapper) with
the real per-emulator target carried in LaunchOptions instead, the
shortcuts.vdf dedupe/appid logic had to move from keying on Exe alone
to the (Exe, LaunchOptions) pair — otherwise adding a second emulator
would have silently overwritten the first one's entry. Also cleans up
a legacy pre-wrapper entry (Exe pointing directly at the same real
binary, no LaunchOptions) when re-adding something added before this
existed, so re-running doesn't leave a stale duplicate tile behind.
Verified with a synthetic shortcuts.vdf: two different emulators keep
distinct entries, re-adding one updates in place, and a legacy
direct-launch entry gets replaced rather than duplicated.
Controller not responding turned out to most likely be Steam Input
applying its own (unconfigured) controller mapping to the new shortcut
rather than passing raw input through — documented the actual fix
(Big Picture -> shortcut -> Controller Options -> Gamepad template or
disable Steam Input) since this is a Steam-side per-shortcut setting
this installer has no way to preconfigure via shortcuts.vdf.
Also documented the third reported symptom (Cemu/Azahar/PCSX2 tiles
appear but crash on launch, while Dolphin/ES-DE work) as a separate,
not-yet-diagnosed issue, with the exact docker exec command to capture
the real error directly (no wrapper, no Steam) since guessing at a fix
without that output isn't reliable.
