Research direction
Start by tracing how a headless RNW instance loads DeviceInfoModule and where it depends on DeviceInfoHolder. Review the Cxx boundary and determine what exposure is needed so the module can initialize without the current delicate setup; done means headless loading works through the supported Cxx path.
