Research direction

Start by reviewing the ICoreWebView2 close lifecycle and how Microsoft Edge presents its download-warning dialog. Define the API behavior needed before closing while a download is active, including how callers detect that state. Done means the requested pre-close download check is available and its behavior is documented and tested.
