Claude 6eb947ae6d fix(kyber): replace Proton cmd.exe directly — the only working approach
After extensive testing, Wine/Proton loads cmd.exe exclusively from
Proton's own installation (files/lib/wine/x86_64-windows/cmd.exe).
Replacing the prefix system32 copy, IFEO registry keys, WINEDLLOVERRIDES,
and Wine DllOverrides registry entries all have no effect — Proton's copy
always takes precedence.

The working fix: compile a tiny shim (GetCommandLineA scan for http URLs,
write to C:\kyber_oauth_url.txt, ExitProcess(0)) and replace Proton's
cmd.exe directly, backing up the original as cmd.exe.bak. The script
detects size (shim ~9KB vs real cmd.exe ~1.2MB) to avoid double-replacing.

Note for users: re-run setup-kyber-linux.sh after any Proton Experimental
update since Steam restores the original cmd.exe on update.

# setup-kyber-linux.sh — Install the Kyber Launcher for SWBF2 (2017) on a
# native Linux Steam machine (headless or desktop) with Proton Experimental.
#
# Kyber is a community multiplayer client for Star Wars Battlefront II (2017)
# after EA shut down the official servers. It is a Windows app (Flutter/Rust).
#
# ── How Kyber's EA login actually works ────────────────────────────────────
#
# Kyber uses the "Maxima" OAuth PKCE flow:
# 1. Kyber starts a temporary HTTP server on 127.0.0.1 (dynamic port ~41413+)
# 2. It calls cmd /c start "" "<EA auth URL>" to open a browser
# 3. You log in on the EA page; EA redirects to 127.0.0.1:PORT/?code=...
# 4. Kyber's HTTP server catches the code and exchanges it for tokens
#
# Problem: Wine's cmd.exe crashes with STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xC0000005)
# when called with a long EA auth URL. This blocks login entirely.
#
# Fix: Replace Proton's own cmd.exe (files/lib/wine/x86_64-windows/cmd.exe)
# with a tiny shim that captures any http URL from its command line, writes
# it to C:\kyber_oauth_url.txt, and exits 0. A Linux-side watcher calls
# xdg-open on that file to open the browser. Wine loads cmd.exe from Proton's
# installation, not the prefix — prefix replacements, IFEO, and
# WINEDLLOVERRIDES all have no effect, so Proton's copy must be replaced.
#
# After a Proton Experimental update, cmd.exe is restored; re-run this script.
#
# ── Why NOT to run Kyber inside Wolf / Games-on-Whales ─────────────────────
#
# Wolf runs Docker + Proton's bwrap nested. The double-sandbox blocks
# CLONE_NEWUSER which breaks WebView2, AND the inner bwrap prevents
# xdg-open from reaching the host display. Kyber's loopback redirect to
# 127.0.0.1:PORT also fails inside the container network stack. Use native
# Linux Steam instead — it's the supported path.
#
# ── WebView2 ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
#
# WebView2 is NOT required for the login flow (Maxima handles that). This
# script still installs the WebView2 Evergreen runtime because Kyber may use
# it for in-app content rendering. Installing it causes no harm and prevents
# any fallback-related error dialogs inside Kyber.
#
# ── Headless note ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
#
# On a headless GPU box use Steam Remote Play: install Steam, configure a
# virtual/dummy display so Steam has something to render to, add Kyber +
# SWBF2, then connect with the Steam Link app from any device.
# This script warns if no display is detected at setup time.
#
# ── Prerequisites ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# a. Steam installed and launched at least once (native, not Flatpak ideally
# — Flatpak works but paths differ; this script handles both).
# b. SWBF2 (AppID 1237950) installed and working with Proton Experimental
# (run setup-swbf2-linux.sh first).
# c. KyberLauncher.exe downloaded from https://kyber.gg saved to
# ~/Downloads/KyberLauncher.exe (or pass the path as $1).
#
# ── Usage ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# chmod +x setup-kyber-linux.sh
# ./setup-kyber-linux.sh [/path/to/KyberLauncher.exe]
