+A Steam launch option has no room for that flag, so grant it once instead:

-Your home directory is mounted into the sandbox, so profiles apply unchanged.
+Without the grant the layer still loads, it just finds no profile and leaves every setting alone. `VOLT_LOG=info` names the path it couldn't read.
