AppImage fails to start due to misconfigured SUID sandbox

When launching the Obsidian AppImage on Linux, it fails with the following error:

[FATAL:sandbox/linux/suid/client/setuid_sandbox_host.cc:169] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I’m aborting now. You need to make sure that /tmp/.mount_ObsidiRugLIb/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.
Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped)

It seems that the embedded chrome-sandbox file does not have the correct ownership and SUID permissions. This prevents the AppImage from starting on systems where root permissions are required for sandboxing.
