Summary

Adds a note to the CanvasRenderingContext2D.getImageData() return value section explaining that browser anti-fingerprinting protections can alter canvas pixel data returned to script.

This addresses the exact-pixel-comparison impact described in #39084 without presenting the behavior as a Canvas API specification guarantee.

Validation

  • git diff --check

Fixes #39084
