I assume that `installed: yes` or `no` changes depending on the window context, right?
For example, if the app is installed and opened as a standalone app, `installed` would be `yes`. However, if I open the same website in a regular browser tab, `installed` would be `no`, even if the PWA is already installed and running in the background. Is that correct?
