- Line 109: Update escapeCmdArgument and wrapAsGuestExecutable so registry
commands reach reg.exe without raw cmd /c percent expansion; preserve literal
environment-variable text while using an argument-preserving invocation or
batch-file transport with correct percent semantics. Apply escaping according to
the registry value type, and add a regression test covering a value such as
%SystemRoot%\foo.
- Around line 41-52: Update SteamInstallScriptStep.buildCommand and
XServerScreen.chainPreInstallSteps so prefixStamp and markDone are applied only
when the registry command chain terminates with status 0. Remove any
pre-execution stamp creation or completion marking, while preserving the
empty-command handling and ensuring failed commands leave both guards unset for
retry.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Create the Steam prefix stamp only after successful completion.
SteamInstallScriptStep.buildCommand creates prefixStamp before reg add runs. XServerScreen.chainPreInstallSteps ignores the termination status and marks the step complete for every termination. A failed command therefore leaves both guards set, so later launches skip the registry commands. Move stamp and marker completion to the chain’s status == 0 path.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Pass registry commands without raw cmd /c percent expansion.
escapeCmdArgument changes %SystemRoot%\foo to %%SystemRoot%%, but wrapAsGuestExecutable sends the command directly to Wine cmd /c. reg.exe can receive %<expanded SystemRoot>%, not %SystemRoot%\foo, and ^%SystemRoot^% is not a fix because the quoted data preserves the carets. Use an argument-preserving invocation for reg.exe (or a batch-file transport where %% has batch semantics), then apply type-aware escaping and add a regression test.

Root cause
GameNative stores Steam's install-script filename from app metadata in KeyValueUtils.kt, but the launch pipeline never consumes the referenced VDF. Games that depend on registry setup normally performed by Steam therefore launch with missing keys; Spore (17390) reports that its configuration script failed after querying its missing Electronic Arts\SPORE key.
Fix
This intentionally does not execute arbitrary Run Process content from the VDF; existing prerequisite steps remain responsible for known redistributables.
Summary by cubic
Applies Steam install-script registry entries during pre-install so games that rely on Steam's registry setup no longer launch with missing keys (for example, Spore's Electronic Arts\SPORE key). Previously the pipeline recorded the script filename but never ran the referenced VDF.
