Verify each operating system's webview, prerequisites, and versions
Webview implementations and development requirements differ by operating system, and Linux WebKitGTK requirements change between Tauri major versions. Install the target prerequisites and verify minimum OS versions, signing, package formats, and plugin support before distribution.
