Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry point. Start by locating Proton's prerequisite checks and existing warning or player-notification handling, then determine which unmet prerequisites should be reported and how the warning is made optional. Done means the selected prerequisites produce a clear optional warning and the behavior is covered by appropriate tests.
