ck-launch-session alone isn't enough to make sway use consolekit2. Either seatd should be stopped or LIBSEAT_BACKEND=consolekit2 set. This is documented in "pkg info -D seatd". ck-list-sessions output is kinda useless. You need to run sway in debug mode (-d flag) to see whether libseat uses consolekit2 or seatd. However, if seatd is NOT running the only way seatd backend would be used if sway was started via seatd-launch(1).
