Description
Browser setup errors out when the separate native host release asset is missing (crates/jcode-base/src/browser.rs ~408-426) instead of falling back, e.g. embedding the native host.
Credit: originally proposed in PR #149. This repo no longer accepts external PRs, so the problem is tracked here instead.

Research direction
Start in crates/jcode-base/src/browser.rs around lines 408-426 and trace the Firefox browser setup path that handles the native host release asset. Review PR #149 for the original proposal, then run the browser setup flow with that asset unavailable. Done means setup recovers instead of erroring, using an agreed fallback such as embedding the native host.
