Description
It would be awesome if the fixed version of WebView2 runtime had equivalent of Beta/Dev/Canary channels that Edge has (basically some kind of daily/weekly builds).
It might not be as important in a year or so when the things get stable, but right now the current available version (87.0.664.8) doesn't support all of the WebView2 1.0.674-prerelease features which makes our testing more difficult.
We are in a process of transferring our node.js/Chromium application to WebView2 and having an ability to just copy our application to testing computers would certainly speed things up. It's also unrealistic to think that our "early adopters" would be willing to switch their Edge to Beta/Dev/Canary channel.

Research direction
Start with issue #639 and the linked AB#30786355 work item, focusing on the fixed WebView2 runtime and the requested Beta, Dev, and Canary equivalents. Done means establishing whether daily or weekly fixed-runtime builds can be provided and documenting the resulting channel and distribution approach.
