flatpak_context_to_args() built the D-Bus name options from flatpak_policy_to_string(). That function gives the values used in the [Session Bus Policy] and [System Bus Policy] metadata groups. Two of them, "none" and "see", are not command-line options. A context that contained such a policy gave --none-name= and --system-none-name=. flatpak-run(1) writes these arguments to the [Instance] extra-args of /.flatpak-info. flatpak-portal gives them back to flatpak(1) when a sandboxed app calls flatpak-spawn(1). flatpak(1) then rejected the whole command line with "Unknown option --none-name=...", so --no-talk-name and --system-no-talk-name broke flatpak-spawn(1). Map each policy to the option that sets it: --no-talk-name for FLATPAK_POLICY_NONE, --talk-name for FLATPAK_POLICY_TALK, and --own-name for FLATPAK_POLICY_OWN. FLATPAK_POLICY_SEE has no command-line option, so emit nothing for it. It cannot occur here: the only caller serializes a context that comes from the command line.
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).
