Pull request overview
This PR resolves issue #13837 by removing the trailing slash from the $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR environment variable. The XDG_RUNTIME_DIR path is changed from /run/user/{uid}/ to /run/user/{uid}, which aligns with the XDG Base Directory specification that directory paths should not have trailing slashes.
- Removed trailing slash from
XDG_RUNTIME_DIRenvironment variable in the init process - Added test coverage to verify the
XDG_RUNTIME_DIRvalue for both GUI-enabled and GUI-disabled configurations
