fixed spell check failure

is there someway to validate we're getting the canary version and the pipeline would fail if canary is in a bad spot?

is there someway to validate we're getting the canary version and the pipeline would fail if canary is in a bad spot? If there is no automation functional test related to Webview2 component, I think the answer is no. We can see what automation we can add in near future.
