This fixes the flatpak launch script to properly expose libportal to the Python runtime. The app builds libportal with GObject Introspection enabled to provide the Xdp (XDG Desktop Portal) namespace, but Python's gi module and the dynamic linker cannot find the typelib and shared library files in /app/lib64/ without explicit paths. The launch script now exports GI_TYPELIB_PATH so PyGObject can discover the Xdp-1.0 typelib, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH so the runtime linker can load libportal.so.1. Without these changes, the flatpak crashes on startup with "Namespace Xdp not available" and "cannot open shared object file" errors. This is the standard approach for flatpak applications that bundle libraries with GObject Introspection support.
