Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported setup-detection behavior on FreeBSD and inspect the browser or platform detection entry point. Compare the detected platform with the condition that controls the Continue button. Done means FreeBSD is no longer treated as Windows and the Quaternion flow presents the expected Continue action.
