In depth

Each of these is the native half of a pair whose browser half ships in the engine. The pairs differ in exactly the places a browser cannot answer honestly: a refresh rate is a number here and null there, and quitting works here and warns there.

A game is one bundle. hostBridge() answers null in a plain browser rather than throwing, so a consumer picks its implementations at boot and ships the same code to both.
