Chromium's SUID sandbox helper (chrome-sandbox) is shipped setuid root

+The single SBo dependency, edk2-ovmf, is required by the Cowork feature
+(see below); it is not needed to launch or use Claude Desktop itself.

+COWORK
+------
+Cowork runs the coding agent inside an isolated QEMU virtual machine.
+It requires:
+
+ - qemu (shipped with Slackware)
+ - edk2-ovmf (OVMF UEFI firmware; the REQUIRES of this package)
+ - virtiofsd (bundled inside this package)
+
+Cowork probes for the OVMF firmware at the Debian paths
+/usr/share/OVMF/OVMF_CODE{,_4M}.fd. This package installs compatibility
+symlinks there pointing at edk2-ovmf's /usr/share/edk2-ovmf-x64/ files,
+so Cowork finds them with no manual setup.
+
+For hardware acceleration the VM needs /dev/kvm, which is root:kvm 0660.
+Add your user to the kvm group so the VM does not fall back to slow
+software emulation:
+
+ # usermod -aG kvm <user>
