Research direction

Start with the linked MDN browser-compat-data api/FileSystemHandle.json entry and compare its move data with the caniuse page. Review the WHATWG pull request and the two ChromeStatus records to establish the supported Chromium versions. Done means the Chrome-family compatibility data accurately records the tested support and version range.
