Dear Maintainer,

starting the application from command line reveals the following error

--- start ---
Gjs-Message: 17:07:53.684: JS LOG: Characters Application started

The application does not create a visible window, but keeps running in the
background.

Please try with libgtk-4-1 and libadwaita-1-0 from unstable? Perhaps this
package has an undeclared dependency on those newer versions.
