The Project Manager GUI does not set up O3DE's Python venv itself; it only
errors ("Missing python venv file .../pyvenv.cfg") when it's absent, which
cascades into "Failed to get engine info" / "Failed to initialize". Nothing
was running get_python.sh on launch.
The wrapper now runs python/get_python.sh when python.sh reports the venv is
missing/stale. get_python.sh downloads Python, creates the venv under the
writable ~/.o3de, and installs the o3de CLI from the prebuilt sdist. It is
idempotent and self-heals a half-built venv (venv creation uses --clear).

Repackage the official O3DE Linux .deb as a Flatpak and publish it as a
static OSTree repo on the 'pages' branch for install via flatpak remote.
- org.o3de.O3DE.yaml: flatpak-builder manifest (extracts the .deb into /app)
- o3de-wrapper.sh: launcher that locates the versioned o3de binary at runtime
- desktop + AppStream metadata under the app-id
- scripts/: live version resolver and local build helper
- .gitea/workflows/build-flatpak.yml: daily check -> build -> publish -> tag
