COPR repos exist (atim/heroic-games-launcher) but builds are currently failing — GitHub RPM is more reliable.

Game Stores

Wine/Proton Management
Heroic manages its own Wine/Proton independently from Steam:

~/.config/heroic/tools/ - Also supports UMU (Universal Proton runner)
- Does NOT depend on Steam's Proton installations
Data Directories

Claude Code multi-agent support in Overthink — sub-agents, dynamic workflows, and agent teams, and how each drives the existing `ov eval` disposable beds to test and verify. MUST be invoked before authoring or invoking an ov sub-agent / dynamic workflow / agent team, wiring agent-lifecycle hooks, or asking "which primitive should drive the R10 beds?".
