Adds the ability to temporarily suspend and resume global shortcut
handling via `globalShortcut.setSuspended()` and query the current
state via `globalShortcut.isSuspended()`. When suspended, registered
shortcuts stop listening and new registrations are rejected. When
resumed, previously registered shortcuts are automatically restored.
* build: derive patches upstream-head ref from script path
gclient-new-workdir.py symlinks each repo's .git/refs back to the source
checkout, so the fixed refs/patches/upstream-head was shared across all
worktrees. Parallel `e sync` runs in different worktrees clobbered each
other's upstream-head, breaking `e patches` and check-patch-diff.
Suffix the ref with an md5 of the script directory so each worktree writes
a distinct ref into the shared refs dir. Fall back to the legacy ref name
in guess_base_commit so existing checkouts keep working until next sync.
* fixup: also write legacy upstream-head ref and note it in docs
Consolidates the root .eslintrc.json and five nested configs (build,
script, docs, default_app, spec) into a single .oxlintrc.json at the
repo root. script/lint.js now shells out to the oxlint binary from
node_modules/.bin instead of using the ESLint Node API, and emits
GitHub Actions annotations directly via --format=github in CI
(replacing the deleted eslint-stylish problem matcher).
Oxlint has no markdown processor, so the ESLint-based lint of JS code
blocks in docs/**/*.md is replaced with an inline regex check for bare
Node.js builtin imports. This preserves the rule docs/.eslintrc.json
was originally added for in #42113; the rest of the standard ruleset on
docs code blocks was already being enforced in parallel by
lint-roller-markdown-standard.
Native addons that hold persistent references to callbacks, emitters,
and threadsafe functions prevent Electron from quitting cleanly since
Electron 40.5.0 due to changes in Node.js shutdown behavior. This adds
a `destroy()` method to all four native code tutorials (Swift macOS,
Obj-C macOS, C++ Linux, C++ Win32) that releases these resources and
must be called before app quit.
The destroy method resets callback and emitter references and aborts the
threadsafe function, allowing the addon's destructor to run properly.
An [!IMPORTANT] note is added to each tutorial's JavaScript wrapper
section explaining when and why to call destroy().

Storing files directly in the userData root can cause naming conflicts
with Chromium's own subdirectories (Cache, GPUCache, Local Storage, etc.).
Added a recommendation to use a subdirectory such as
path.join(app.getPath('userData'), 'my-app-data') instead.

docs: handle cold-start deep links on Windows/Linux
add a check for `process.argv` in the `app.whenReady()` callback to handle deep links when the application is cold-started on Windows and Linux.
* fix: remove ELECTRON_SKIP_BINARY_DOWNLOAD
it is redundant as of electron v42
its purpose was to skip the binary download for post install script
but as of electron v42, post install script is gone
and replaced with a lazy download
it was also slated for removal in [this comment](https://github.com/electron/rfcs/pull/22#issuecomment-3387307743)
* docs: remove ELECTRON_SKIP_BINARY_DOWNLOAD section
the env is redundant as of electron v42
so docs don't have to mention it anymore
* docs: add ELECTRON_SKIP_BINARY_DOWNLOAD to breaking changes
* fix: lazily initialize safeStorage async encryptor
The SafeStorage constructor previously registered a browser observer that
called os_crypt_async()->GetInstance() on app-ready. Because ESM named
imports (import { x } from 'electron') eagerly evaluate all electron
module getters, simply importing electron in an ESM entrypoint would
construct SafeStorage and touch the OS keychain on app-ready, even when
safeStorage was never used.
This showed up as a macOS CI hang: the esm-spec import-meta fixture
triggers a keychain access prompt that blocks the test runner until
timeout.
Now the async encryptor is requested lazily on the first call to
encryptStringAsync, decryptStringAsync, or isAsyncEncryptionAvailable.
isAsyncEncryptionAvailable now returns a Promise that resolves once
initialization completes, matching what the docs already stated.
* chore: lint
* fix: add HandleScope in OnOsCryptReady for pending operations
OnOsCryptReady fires asynchronously from a posted task without an active
V8 HandleScope. Previously this was harmless because eager init meant the
pending queues were always empty when it fired. With lazy init, operations
queue up first, then the callback processes them and needs to create V8
handles (Buffer::Copy, Dictionary::CreateEmpty, Promise::Resolve).
feat: add nativeTheme.shouldDifferentiateWithoutColor on macOS
Adds nativeTheme.shouldDifferentiateWithoutColor on macOS that maps to
NSWorkspace.accessibilityDisplayShouldDifferentiateWithoutColor. If true,
the user has indicated that they prefer UI that differentiates items with
something other than color alone. This is useful for users with color
vision deficiency.

* test: skip webFrameMain.copyVideoFrameAt on win32 CI due Chromium DCHECK
* feat: support notification priority on Windows
Add Windows notifications support urgency/priority levels.
This maps the existing `urgency` option (previously Linux-only) to
Windows toast notification priorities:
- 'critical' maps to ToastNotificationPriority_High, which sorts the
notification above default-priority items in Action Center.
- 'normal' and 'low' both map to ToastNotificationPriority_Default.
Note that on Windows, 'critical' priority does not prevent the toast
from being auto-dismissed. Users should additionally set `timeoutType`
to 'never' for that behavior.

* refactor: replace deprecated NSUserNotifications with User Notifications
Removes deprecated NSUserNotification API, now using User Notifications
It replaces API calls for generating, scheduling, and receiving native
macOS notifications with equivalent API calls from the new framework,
or functionally equivalent implementations.
To preserve the existing Notification module API, special handling was
required in certain cases:
- Dynamically declared notification actions
Typically, notification actions should be declared at app launch time
when using the User Notifications framework. However, this isn’t
compatible with Electron’s architecture. Instead, we dynamically
declare new notifications actions when necessary and carefully manage
the existing actions registered at runtime.
- Localizations for ‘Reply’ and ‘Show’ labels
New translation files are added and processed through GRIT to add
localizations for “Reply” and “Show” button labels which were
initially supplied by the NSUserNotification framework.
