Is there a PNaCl test module that devs can use to see if PNaCl is running?

One of our partners makes an app that uses the Chrome Portable Native Client plugin, PNaCl for short. We use this app on our website, and some of our users have problems loading it, and I think that in many cases it is because PNaCl is being blocked from running for some reason (or maybe isn't installed properly).

What would be really ideal is if I could run some super-minimal PNaCl app that just does something very basic, like adding a class to the parent page body, and stops, on the page BEFORE we send people off to our partner's app. Then, I can wait a short while and test (with javascript) if the body has that class, and if it doesn't, assume there's some PNaCl problem and highlight that to the user, with some helpful info etc.

I know zero about writing PNaCl apps, and so this might turn into a bit of an annoying diversion from my actual job. But, it occurred to me that I'm probably not the first person to have this problem, and that maybe someone else has done a very basic PNaCl app already that does something like this, which I could utilize.

So, questions:

Basically, any advice welcome... thanks!

Starting with Chrome 76 PNaCl is available only as an origin trial (on its way to full removal from the open web in December 2019). See the announcement for more details.
