The update this morning fixed it! Snapshot is working now when installed on the system.
Gnome Authenticator installed via Flatpak does not work though

Ok! I'm going to close this as Snapshot installed from either
apkor flatpak works, at least partially.The flatpak version appears to get "stuck" after a bit. Usually if I close and reopen the app the camera feed stops updating. At this point the camera feed seems broken for all applications. A system reboot fixes the issue.
The system package version doesn't seem to be as bad. Although I see a few issues with incorrect rotation in the system application after taking and deleting pictures. Switching cameras in the app fixes that.
The libcamera stability seems to be worse then millipixels. As the libcamera work is still early days I'm going to close this issue and not open specific issues for the problems mentioned above.
Great work!
