The desktop app's auto-updater (electron-updater + GitHub provider) is gated on UPDATER_ENABLED = app.isPackaged && CHANNEL !== dev, which is true inside a flatpak. It polls GitHub every 10 min, auto-downloads the .deb into the sandbox, and then fails to install (read-only /app). Patch app.asar in place (same-byte-length text replacement, so the asar layout and app.asar.unpacked entries are preserved) to set UPDATER_ENABLED = false. Updates come through the OS updater (GNOME Software / KDE Discover / flatpak update) instead. Upstream issue for a permanent fix: anomalyco/opencode#39670
