The document portal is mounted at /run/flatpak/doc inside the sandbox, but forwarded arguments used its host mount path. With a nonstandard host runtime directory, that path is inaccessible to the application. Keep the host path local to mount setup and return the sandbox destination to argument forwarding. Preserve NULL when the portal is unavailable. Add real-portal regression tests for user and isolated system installs. Check file read/write, escaped URIs, directories and passthrough controls. Skip the directory subtest on portal interfaces older than version 4.
Flatpak is a system for building, distributing, and running sandboxed desktop applications on Linux.
See https://flatpak.org/ for more information.
Flatpak is available in the package repositories of most Linux distributions and can be installed from there. See https://flatpak.org/setup/ for quick setup instructions for many distributions.
Community discussion happens in #flatpak:matrix.org, on the mailing list, and on the Flathub Discourse.

Host Requirements
Flatpak aims to run on a wide variety of systems. It is therefore conservative with required dependency versions and kernel features.
Currently, the main branch requires at least kernel version 5.8 (for
statx STATX_MNT_ID).
