Fixes an issue where Chromium could crash on a dangling unretained pointer in one of several webRequest functions. This was happening as a result of the fact that we had outstanding blocking requests continue to reference state owned by ProxyingWebsocket and ProxyingURLLoaderFactory after the requests were destroyed.
This had been going on for a few years, and was likely leading to some ongoing memory issues. To fix this, we need to ensure that all state is cleaned up in OnRequestWillBeDestroyed. I chose to create a new BlockedRequest struct to do so, which approximates the approach that upstream takes. The complexities of doing so also made our templated approach more trouble than it felt worth, so i pried that apart into separate handlers.

* **Deprecated:** An API was marked as deprecated. The API will continue to function, but will emit a deprecation warning, and will be removed in a future release.
* **Removed:** An API or feature was removed, and is no longer supported by Electron.
## Planned Breaking API Changes (32.0)
### Removed: `File.path`
The nonstandard `path` property of the Web `File` object was added in an early version of Electron as a convenience method for working with native files when doing everything in the renderer was more common. However, it represents a deviation from the standard and poses a minor security risk as well, so beginning in Electron 32.0 it has been removed in favor of the [`webUtils.getPathForFile`](api/web-utils.md#webutilsgetpathforfilefile) method.
These APIs have been moved to the `navigationHistory` property of `WebContents` to provide a more structured and intuitive interface for managing navigation history.
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.
### RBE authentication randomly fails with "Token not valid"
This could be caused by the local clock time on the machine being off by a small amount. Use [time.is](https://time.is/) to check.
> Goma is a distributed compiler service for open-source projects such as
> Chromium and Android.
Electron's deployment of Goma is deprecated and we are gradually shifting all usage to the [reclient](reclient.md) system. At some point in 2024 the Goma backend will be shutdown.
