Change factuality and word choice.
Added "or WOW" to the phrase, "when they are running the x64 version under Rosetta", to reflect the use of a supported platform, Windows, as a possible scenario.
Changed the wording of that same sentence to make it appear clearer. "incorrectly" to "mistakenly" and moved this word to before the verb instead of the end of the sentence.

When creating branded release builds and using scripts/strip-binaries.py

With this patch the name of the electron binary is taken from the

* fix: WebAuthn Discoverable Credential (Resident Credential) #33353
Enables support for Webauthn discoverable credentials (aka resident
credentials). This allows users to authenticate without first having to
select or type a username.
To decide if discoverable credentials are supported, the class
'AuthenticatorCommon', in the chrome content code, indirectly calls the
method 'context::WebAuthenticationDelegate.SupportsResidentKeys(..)'.
The default implementation of this returns false, leaving it up to
specific implementations to override.
This change adds a new class 'ElectronWebAuthenticationDelegate' to
subclass 'WebAuthenticationDelegate' and override the behaviour of the
'SupportsResidentKeys' method to return true.
The implementation is copied from the Chrome browser equivalent
'ChromeWebAuthenticationDelegate', though the chrome class includes
other methods that don't seem to be required for this functionality.
The 'ElectronContentClient' class was also updated to store an instance
of 'ElectronWebAuthenticationDelegate', and to provide an accessor
method, GetWebAuthenticationDelegate().

Update `.nvmrc` Node.js version from 14 to 16
The `DEPS` file states that Electron is on Node.js ^16.x. I am guessing that the PR bumping to Node.js 16 overlooked the `.nvmrc` file, which is updated in this PR. If leaving the `.nvmrc` file on 14 was intentional, please disregard this PR.

* fix: broken wayland window decorations due to botched chromium update
The `GetTitlebarBounds().height()` is obviously intended to be placed in
the `top` parameter, which used to be the second one before upstream
removed multi-parameter `gfx::Rect::Inset`, but it's the first parameter
for `gfx::Insets::TLBR`, which was intended to replace the removed
`Inset` function. However, whoever updated Chromium kept the parameter
unchanged, causing the title bar height to be passed to the `left`
parameter, causing the window title bar to be unclickable.
* fix: wayland window top bar buttons unclickable
Use NonClientFrameView::TargetForRect for the ClientFrameViewLinux
implementation because the default inherited from FramelessView blocks
any non-HTCLIENT events.
* fix: add maximized parameter to LinuxUI::GetWindowFrameProvider

* fix: ensure native modules are built with config.gypi
This works by patching node.h to check that two defines are set using the equivilant of an XNOR operation. One define "ELECTRON_ENSURE_CONFIG_GYPI" is set via common.gypi which is _already_ used to build native modules and has been since the dawn of time. Therefore this define will be set for all native module compilations targetting the Electron runtime. The second define "USING_ELECTRON_CONFIG_GYPI" is only defined when the gypi argument "using_electron_config_gypi" is set to 1 which is only done so via config.gypi. Only new enough versions of node-gyp correctly use the config.gypi file thus resulting in a compilation error on version of node-gyp that are too old.

This define is only needed when linking against Chromiums libc++ which we currently
do not ship / expose the symbols of. We probably should make those symbols visible and
actually ensure that electron-rebuild et. al link against our libc++ instead of the system libc++
but for now this fixes compilation issues on macOS where the default system clang links to the system libc++
which does not (obviously) use the Chromium ABI namespace.
For our nan tests which do link against Chromiums libc++ we define the ABI namespace in the spec runner.
When widevine was disabled at the build level we never dealt with the callback passed into GetSupportedKeySystems. This was ok until requests became marked pending in https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/3430502 until the callback was called. This resulted in a promise never resolving / rejecting and certain media websites (E.g. spotify) hanging on load waiting for a signal that would never arrive.

Extending the `testing` GN profile with the arguments documented to
allow breakpoint debugging

doesn't quite work on macOS:
```sh
is_debug = true

The build eventually fails on both Intel and Apple Silicon with the
following (summarized) error:

This symbol is defined on a file that is not declared as a dependency of

some non-debug path somewhere in the GN definitions does eventually

fix: performance problem in crashReporter.start() on macOS
This change reduces the duration of crashReporter.start() on Intel macOS
from 622 milliseconds to 257 milliseconds!
Backports https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/crashpad/crashpad/+/3641386
posix: Replace DoubleForkAndExec() with ForkAndSpawn()
The DoubleForkAndExec() function was taking over 622 milliseconds to run
on macOS 11 (BigSur) on Intel i5-1038NG7. I did some debugging by adding
some custom traces and found that the fork() syscall is the bottleneck
here, i.e., the first fork() takes around 359 milliseconds and the
nested fork() takes around 263 milliseconds. Replacing the nested fork()
and exec() with posix_spawn() reduces the time consumption to 257
milliseconds!
See https://github.com/libuv/libuv/pull/3064 to know why fork() is so
slow on macOS and why posix_spawn() is a better replacement.
Another point to note is that even base::LaunchProcess() from Chromium
calls posix_spawnp() on macOS -

The isFocused() method on macOS works by checking if the selected
BrowserWindow is a key window. Unfortunately, this didn't work well
with blur() because it wasn't calling any macOS APIs that would change
the key status of the window. Hence, this changes the implementation of
blur() to call orderOut first, which removes the key
status of the window. Then when the orderBack function is called, it
moves the window to the back of its level in the screen list, without
changing the key window.

Hello @${{ github.event.issue.user.login }}. Thanks for reporting this and helping to make Electron better!
Would it be possible for you to make a standalone testcase with only the code necessary to reproduce the issue? For example, [Electron Fiddle](https://www.electronjs.org/fiddle) is a great tool for making small test cases and makes it easy to publish your test case to a [gist](https://gist.github.com) that Electron maintainers can use.
Stand-alone test cases make fixing issues go more smoothly: it ensure everyone's looking at the same issue, it removes all unnecessary variables from the equation, and it can also provide the basis for automated regression tests.
Now adding the `blocked/need-repro` label for this reason. After you make a test case, please link to it in a followup comment. This issue will be closed in 10 days if the above is not addressed.

### `app.getSystemLocale()`
Returns `string` - The current system locale. On Windows and Linux, it is fetched using Chromium's `i18n` library. On macOS, `[NSLocale currentLocale]` is used instead. To get the user's current system language, which is not always the same as the locale, it is better to use [`app.getPreferredSystemLanguages()`](#appgetpreferredsystemlanguages).
Different operating systems also use the regional data differently:
* Windows 11 uses the regional format for numbers, dates, and times.
* macOS Monterey uses the region for formatting numbers, dates, times, and for selecting the currency symbol to use.
Therefore, this API can be used for purposes such as choosing a format for rendering dates and times in a calendar app, especially when the developer wants the format to be consistent with the OS.
**Note:** This API must be called after the `ready` event is emitted.
**Note:** To see example return values of this API compared to other locale and language APIs, see [`app.getPreferredSystemLanguages()`](#appgetpreferredsystemlanguages).
### `app.getPreferredSystemLanguages()`
Returns `string[]` - The user's preferred system languages from most preferred to least preferred, including the country codes if applicable. A user can modify and add to this list on Windows or macOS through the Language and Region settings.
The API uses `GlobalizationPreferences` (with a fallback to `GetSystemPreferredUILanguages`) on Windows, `\[NSLocale preferredLanguages\]` on macOS, and `g_get_language_names` on Linux.
This API can be used for purposes such as deciding what language to present the application in.
Here are some examples of return values of the various language and locale APIs with different configurations:
On Windows, given application locale is German, the regional format is Finnish (Finland), and the preferred system languages from most to least preferred are French (Canada), English (US), Simplified Chinese (China), Finnish, and Spanish (Latin America):
On macOS, given the application locale is German, the region is Finland, and the preferred system languages from most to least preferred are French (Canada), English (US), Simplified Chinese, and Spanish (Latin America):
Both the available languages and regions and the possible return values differ between the two operating systems.
As can be seen with the example above, on Windows, it is possible that a preferred system language has no country code, and that one of the preferred system languages corresponds with the language used for the regional format. On macOS, the region serves more as a default country code: the user doesn't need to have Finnish as a preferred language to use Finland as the region,and the country code `FI` is used as the country code for preferred system languages that do not have associated countries in the language name.

The V8 memory cage has been enabled, which has implications for native modules
which wrap non-V8 memory with `ArrayBuffer` or `Buffer`. See the [blog post
about the V8 memory cage](https://www.electronjs.org/blog/v8-memory-cage) for

`webContents.printToPDF()` has been modified to conform to [`Page.printToPDF`](https://chromedevtools.github.io/devtools-protocol/tot/Page/#method-printToPDF) in the Chrome DevTools Protocol. This has been changes in order to
address changes upstream that made our previous implementation untenable and rife with bugs.

workarounds have unacceptable tradeoffs (e.g. Window.is_skip_taskbar in GNOME

### API Changed: `session.setDevicePermissionHandler(handler)`
The handler invoked when `session.setDevicePermissionHandler(handler)` is used
has a change to its arguments. This handler no longer is passed a frame

Electron has a fully-fledged governance system that oversees activity in Electron and whose working groups are responsible for areas like APIs, releases, and upgrades to Electron's dependencies including Chromium and Node.js. Depending on how frequently and to what end you want to contribute, you may want to consider joining a working group.
Details about each group and their reponsibilities can be found in the [governance repo](https://github.com/electron/governance).

This may also happen if you have checked out a branch (as opposed to having a detached head) in `electron/src/`
or some other dependency’s repository. If that is the case, a `git checkout --detach HEAD` in the appropriate repository should do the trick.
### I'm being asked for a username/password for chromium-internal.googlesource.com
If you see a prompt for `Username for 'https://chrome-internal.googlesource.com':` when running `gclient sync` on Windows, it's probably because the `DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN` environment variable is not set to 0. Open `Control Panel` → `System and Security` → `System` → `Advanced system settings` and add a system variable
`DEPOT_TOOLS_WIN_TOOLCHAIN` with value `0`. This tells `depot_tools` to use
your locally installed version of Visual Studio (by default, `depot_tools` will
try to download a Google-internal version that only Googlers have access to).
### `e` Module not found
If `e` is not recognized despite running `npm i -g @electron/build-tools`, ie:
We recommend installing Node through [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm). This allows for easier Node version management, and is often a fix for missing `e` modules.
If you're developing Electron and don't plan to redistribute your
custom Electron build, you may skip this section.
Official Electron builds are built with [Xcode 12.2](https://download.developer.apple.com/Developer_Tools/Xcode_12.2/Xcode_12.2.xip), and the macOS 11.0 SDK. Building with a newer SDK works too, but the releases currently use the 11.0 SDK.
* Rosetta 2
* We recommend installing Rosetta if using dependencies that need to cross-compile on x64 and arm64 machines. Rosetta can be installed by using the softwareupdate command line tool.
*`$ softwareupdate --install-rosetta`
## Building Electron
See [Build Instructions: GN](build-instructions-gn.md).
If both Xcode and Xcode command line tools are installed (`$ xcode -select --install`, or directly download the correct version [here](https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=command%20line%20tools)), but the stack trace says otherwise like so:
(mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have (x86_64), need (arm64e))), '/Users/<user>/.electron_build_tools/third_party/Xcode/Xcode-11.1.0.app/Contents/Developer/usr/lib/libxcrun.dylib (http://xcode-11.1.0.app/Contents/Developer/usr/lib/libxcrun.dylib)'(mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have (x86_64), need (arm64e)))).`
```
If you are on arm64 architecture, the build script may be pointing to the wrong Xcode version (11.x.y doesn't support arm64). Navigate to `/Users/<user>/.electron_build_tools/third_party/Xcode/` and rename `Xcode-13.3.0.app` to `Xcode.app` to ensure the right Xcode version is used.
