Exiting a game/app/process that is paused will hang until manually un-paused

[OlivierFortier]

• Problem Summary: When attempting to exit a game/app/process that is currently in a paused state, it will hang indefinitely and never fully exit until it is manually un-paused in the decky plugin. This requires manual intervention to un-pause before the exit can be completed successfully.

• Expected Behavior: Ideally, exiting a paused state should either automatically resume and then close the process, or force close the process to get through the paused state.

• Steps to Reproduce:

  • Pause the game/app/process.
  • Attempt to exit while in the paused state.
  • Observe that the game hangs and does not exit as expected.

• Suggested Fix: Implement a check that detects when an exit command is initiated during a paused state and either auto-resumes the process before proceeding with the exit or force close the game.

Just FYI that I'm working on a fix that basically would try to resume the game when Steam tries to terminate it. The biggest problem right now is that... Where should I submit the PR to?
