Module autostart 

Handles autostart integration for both native installations and sandboxed Flatpak builds.

Under Flatpak, uses the XDG Background portal to request autostart permission. On bare-metal installs, writes or removes a .desktop file in ~/.config/autostart/. The portal request is asynchronous and may be denied by the user.
