• Updated the Wine bleeding-edge base twice and imported/rebased the latest EM11 Wine-Wayland series: 3e5f91eb

  (https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/commit/3e5f91eb114f17d81eef001d3bcee0e69243bb00), 0c63e181

  (https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/commit/09b1a3747e3f6ad0b32d6de676a1aa1c804fe237). Original EM11/Wine authorship remains preserved in each patch.

• Imported Wine-Wineland’s 58-patch cross-process DMA-BUF child-rendering series in eb556a34

  (https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/commit/eb556a3470b02a8c2745abf167dd0601a8d3e89a). This covers GDI, OpenGL and Vulkan child windows, CEF launchers, popups, menus,

  clipping, shaped windows, frame throttling and producer lifecycle.

• That series is primarily by Erhan Bilgili (nanomatters). It includes a present-wait follow-up by Etaash Mathamsetty, a fallback-context change based on work by Paul Gofman, and final

  integration fixes by Thomas Crider (GloriousEggroll).

• Added StatusNotifierItem tray icons and native context menus from Erhan Bilgili, plus host desktop notifications and edge placement: f6424475

  (https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/commit/f64244754aa0c0e1830f046282b9a098617e1289), with corrected credit in 4334eeec

  (https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/commit/4334eeeca8fb44d4850320d70a99c41285f0a802).

• Enabled simultaneous availability of winewayland.drv and winex11.drv, selected per process through WINE_GRAPHICS_DRIVER. Added PROTON_USE_X11_EXCLUSIVE for user-selected X11 executables.

  Native child rendering later superseded the broad launcher fallback and removed obsolete --in-process-gpu workarounds in 326b36f3

  (https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/commit/326b36f3b422a3e145c2fb602c4cddbf2f97d053).

  (https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/commit/80261c9d617391a33eec877b93353db54b933d9e).

• Closed: #696 Deadlock cursor (https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/issues/696) via 0a9c71a0; #706 launcher rendering

  (https://github.com/GloriousEggroll/proton-ge-custom/issues/706) via f6424475, subsequently replaced by native child rendering in eb556a34.
