Research direction

Start by reproducing the Safari 15.6 result on the MacBook Pro M1 Pro described in the report and compare it with the Chromium-based browser output. Identify the GPU-detection entry point and its existing browser or benchmark tests; done means Safari reports the expected GPU tier and type without regressing the Chromium result.
