Two reasons both Sunshine apps streamed a blank screen. Steam is an X client, and sway starts Xwayland lazily. DISPLAY therefore did not exist at the moment the config imported the environment for Sunshine, so Steam came up with "Unable to open a connection to X" and rendered nothing. `xwayland force` starts it at compositor launch instead, and DISPLAY joins the import. The Desktop app was not broken at all — the desktop was genuinely empty. swaybg was painting #101920 on an output with no windows and no bar, which over a stream is indistinguishable from a failed capture. There are now keybinds for a terminal and a launcher, and kitty starts with the session so a working capture looks obviously working. Verified: Xwayland on :0, DISPLAY exported, xdpyinfo and zenity connect, and Steam Big Picture Mode renders as a window on HEADLESS-1.
