appModules/whatsapp.root: initial support for WhatsApp WebView2 version (disable browse mode by default) (#19682) Closes #19655 Summary of the issue: In late 2025, Meta released WebView2 version of WhatsApp, meaning NVDA will start in browse mode when the app is launched. Description of user facing changes: NVDA will start in focus mode when using WhatsApp WebView2 version. Description of developer facing changes: A new app module is introduced to disable browse mode in WhatsApp WebView2 version. Description of development approach: Added a new app module for whatsapp.root.exe (whatsapp_root.py) that instructs NVDA to disable browse mode by default. This work borrows from Skype app module where browse mode is turned off by default as well. While the linked issue asks for more features, this pull request addresses the problem noted in the linked issue.
