What happened?

amdsync-bug-report.md

What did you expect to happen?

amd-sync to remember configuration when restarting.

Steps to reproduce

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install AMD Sync 1.5.3 on Linux under a desktop environment Chromium doesn't recognize (e.g. sway). gnome-keyring may even be running and unlocked — it is never selected.
  2. Launch the app, accept the EULA, add a device through the setup flow. Everything appears to succeed; the device connects and metrics work.
  3. Quit and relaunch the app.

Expected: App remembers the device and setupComplete, opens the dashboard/overlay.
Actual: App opens the first-launch setup window again; the device list is empty. ~/.amdsync/config.json was never created.
