Fix: D-Bus SelectSources signature mismatch in wayland_poc.cpp\n\nCorrected the D-Bus call flow for SelectSources by introducing a dedicated handler for CreateSession replies, ensuring proper argument passing and resolving the signature mismatch error. Updated lessons_learned.md.

     *   **Diagnosis:** The original build container was not designed to stay running. `docker cp` requires a running container or a committed image. The initial `docker commit` did not seem to capture the build artifacts correctly.
     *   **Fix:** Committed the original build container to a new image (`hyperion-grabber-build`). Then, a new container was launched from this image with a command (`tail -f /dev/null`) to keep it running. The executable was then successfully copied from this running container using `docker cp`.
 
+*   **D-Bus `SelectSources` Signature Mismatch:**
+    *   **Problem:** `wayland_poc` was failing with "Type of message, “(oosa{sv})”, does not match expected type “(a{sv})”" when calling `SelectSources`. This occurred because the `handleSelectSourcesResponse` function, designed for `SelectSources` replies, was incorrectly connected to the `CreateSession` D-Bus call's `finished` signal. The `CreateSession` reply's signature (starting with an object path) was being misinterpreted, leading to an incorrect `SelectSources` call.
+    *   **Diagnosis:** The `QObject::connect` in `main` was incorrectly routing the `CreateSession` reply to the `handleSelectSourcesResponse` function.
+    *   **Fix:**
+        1.  Created a new handler function, `handleCreateSessionFinished`, to specifically process the `CreateSession` reply. This function extracts the session handle and then correctly initiates the `SelectSources` D-Bus call with its own `QDBusPendingCallWatcher` connected to `handleSelectSourcesResponse`.
+        2.  Modified the `main` function to connect the `CreateSession`'s `QDBusPendingCallWatcher` to `handleCreateSessionFinished`.
+
 *   **New Runtime Error: "Remote peer disconnected"**
     *   **Problem:** After successfully building and copying `wayland_poc` to the host, running it resulted in "D-Bus call to SelectSources failed: "Remote peer disconnected"".
     *   **Diagnosis:** This indicates a problem with the D-Bus connection itself, rather than a rejection from the portal. Possible causes include incorrect D-Bus environment variables on the host, `xdg-desktop-portal` not running, or permission issues.
