 QtWebEngine select popup rendering issues were observed with older Qt 6.x. The
 native HTML `<select>` popup could keep growing or repainting while open while
 the QtWebEngine process remained busy. Upgrading to Qt 6.11.1 resolved this.

+### Qt backend logging
+
+Structured stderr records from `rktwebview_prg` are logged through `simple-log`
+under the separate topic `webview-backend`. Ordinary Racket-side messages keep
+the topic `webview`. Unstructured stderr lines are accepted and logged at debug
+level under `webview-backend`.
