Description

What would you like to be added

It would be great to have a property exposed that gets set to the current render surface type so a check can be made in the application if for some reason the environment has changed and software rendering is used, but not expected. I know it can be seen in the early log entries when set to trace, but for production it would be good with a check to make sure it doesn't revert to software rendering for some reason.

Why is this needed

Catch environment errors early

For which platform

Skia (GTK on Linux/macOS/Windows)

Anything else we need to know?

No response

Contributor guide

Research direction
Identify where the render surface type is determined (likely in Skia related code) and expose it as a public property or method. Check for existing logging of the surface type and create a corresponding API for runtime inspection.
