Share one Steam game library across multiple Linux users with fully isolated Proton prefixes. Uses bubblewrap to create a per-user kernel overlay on /opt/steam/steamapps/compatdata/ so game files stay shared while Proton prefixes are isolated per user, with no compatibility tool selection or per-game configuration required. Includes: - steam-shared launcher that sets up the per-user overlay and execs Steam inside a bwrap mount namespace - activate/uninstall scripts plus an add-user helper for steamshare group membership - permission watcher (steam-fix-perms.path/.service) to keep ACLs correct under pressure-vessel's restrictive mode bits - .desktop override that routes the system Steam launcher through steam-shared - Nix flake exposing activate, uninstall, and add-user packages - design doc and implementation plan covering the approach
