[natiahlyi]

こんにちは TAG-さん!

Per the Chromium Intent to Ship, it was advised that I file a TAG review as a FYI, because this is related to feature detection - hence this request.

I'm requesting a TAG review of Web Authentication API: PublicKeyCredential’s getClientCapabilities() method.

getClientCapabilities() method allows to determine which WebAuthn features are supported by the user's client. The method returns a list of supported capabilities, allowing developers to tailor authentication experiences and workflows based on the client's specific functionality. Context: w3c/webauthn#1923
