 - **`WindowEvent::CloseRequested` closure captures `Arc<WindowsState>` and `Arc<PendingInits>` by move.** `windows_state_for_event.forget(label)` is the cleanup path; `pending_inits_for_event.by_label.lock().remove(&label)` removes any unconsumed init payload (the consumed-then-window-died case).

+1. `cd D:\dev\tiletopia\src-tauri && cargo check` — the Rust changes have to compile. **Note: `Cargo.toml` lives in `src-tauri/`, NOT the project root** (Tauri layout). I got this wrong in the original verification steps; user had to point it out. Added a preflight-checks rule to global `~/claude/CLAUDE.md`. Watch in the check output for: tauri 2 `WebviewWindowBuilder::new` signature, `on_window_event` handler closure types, my `Arc<Self>` method receiver style on WindowsState.
