I don't see the errors in git-master for systemsettings or Dolphin. For instance

❯ systemsettings -- help
❯ 

❯ kde-builder --run dolphin
 * Skipped metadata update, but it hasn't been updated recently!

I do see the QThreadStorage messages when running Dolphin or Kate from the repo installation (6.3.5)
This is likely fixed with 6.4.0.  Can you please re-test when your system has updated to 6.4.0, or test in a beta installation? Thanks.

I will test and report back when 6.4.0 hits Fedora stable

Not reproducible in Plasma 6.4.0 on Fedora 42
