Far as I can tell 
| Aug 04 12:06:05 borker kded6[1419]: Registering "com.jetbrains.toolbox/StatusNotifierItem" to system tray

this line never appears in the non-working log using master compiled version. Not much help lol but rest of it looks identical including the address already in use bit.
Comment 5 Parag W 2025-08-06 10:24:43 UTC 
The Jetbrains toolbox app actually does run in the background on startup and comes up normally when clicked on in the app launcher. Just that it doesn't show up in the System tray as an icon. Not missing icon but just missing the whole thing.
Comment 6 Nate Graham 2025-08-08 16:53:34 UTC 
In that case, it sounds like autostart is actually working fine, and the problem is related to the tray icon not appearing as expected. I think we have a bug report for this already; let me do some digging…
