Browser extension on Linux/Wayland can't unlock with passkey unless popped out

[freevatar]

Steps To Reproduce

Important:
It's not a duplicate of #19217

#15825 doesn't fix it

1. Login
2. Click "Lock now"
3. Click "Unlock with Passkey"

Expected Result

Unlock with passkey works on Linux+Wayland

Actual Result

Unlock with passkey fails on Linux+Wayland

Additional Context

Description

Unlocking browser extension vault with a passkey fails on Linux+Wayland when extension is opened as the normal browser popup. The same unlock succeeds if the extension is popped out first.

System

Hyprland + Wayland + Chrome

RCA

Root cause is that Linux popout workaround is applied to passkey login but not passkey unlock

• Log in with Passkey works
• Unlock with Passkey fails when launched from Chrome extension toolbar popup
• Unlock with Passkey works if I manually open extension as a top-level window

Good Flow

/login-with-passkey uses platformPopoutGuard(["linux"])

clients/apps/browser/src/popup/app-routing.module.ts

Line 469 in f1f0376

canActivate: [unauthGuardFn(unauthRouteOverrides), platformPopoutGuard(["linux"])],

/lock only uses lockGuard()

clients/apps/browser/src/popup/app-routing.module.ts

Line 586 in f1f0376

canActivate: [lockGuard()],
