Research direction

Start with WebviewWindow.isWebviewAvailable() and reproduce the reported behavior on Windows without the WebView2 Runtime. Trace how WebViewWindow.create() handles an unavailable runtime; done means the availability check returns false and the reported white, unresponsive window is avoided.
