P1 arm64 runner may not resolve version 2.44.0-2

The matrix includes ubuntu-24.04-arm, but the version pin =2.44.0-2 was validated against x86_64 in aw-tauri#99. Ubuntu arm64 packages often carry an ubuntu1 revision suffix (e.g. 2.44.0-2ubuntu1) and may not carry the exact bare 2.44.0-2 version string. If that version isn't present in the arm64 apt sources after apt-get update, every arm Linux build will fail at this step with "Version '2.44.0-2' for 'libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev' was not found". It's worth confirming the exact available version on ubuntu-24.04-arm (e.g. via apt-cache madison libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev) before merging.

P2 Missing --allow-downgrades flag

If the ubuntu-24.04 runner image is ever updated to pre-install a newer webkit runtime library (the -0 runtime packages are more likely candidates than the -dev packages), apt-get install with a lower pinned version will fail without --allow-downgrades. Adding the flag makes the pin robust to that scenario.
