It’s heavily AI developed, so I could see that they would have on their README that it is “native” and doesn’t use a browesr/js runtime while still using a webkit or webview binding.

If they are linking to webkit/webview dynamically, then *technically* the binary produced doesn’t have a browser/webview/js runtime.

native app shell with WebView content.

Yeah, this is still just a browser in a trench coat.
