trap handlers will be initialized once the user script starts
but before app#ready. Wasm compilation before that phase will
break trap handler registeration due to the check in
v8::internal::wasm::UpdateComputedInformation. For some reason
this issue was only visible in <= 39-x-y when pdf-reader.mjs
was being loaded, maybe some module loading logic changed in >= 40-x-y
which are based on Node.js v24.x. In either case, it is best to
align the loading of wasm module required for the tests in light
of changes to how we are registering the trap handlers for the
main process.

* refactor: remove electron::WebRequestAPI interface
Remove the |electron::WebRequestAPI| interface class.
Use handles to the concrete class |electron::api::WebRequest| instead.
Prerequisite for https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/48762.
Two classes (electron::ProxyingURLLoaderFactory and electron::ProxyingWebSocket)
hold a handle to a WebRequest via |raw_ptr<electron::WebRequestAPI>|.
|electron::WebRequestAPI| is a pure virtual interface whose concrete impl is
|electron::api::WebRequest|.
This is a problem when migrating |electron::api::WebRequest| to cppgc:
we need to change those |raw_ptr<>|s to |cppgc::WeakPersistent<>| but
can't instantiate |cppgc::WeakPersistent<electron::WebRequestAPI>| as-is.
We also can't change it to inherit from |cppgc::GarbageCollectedMixin|,
since that causes problems when |electron::api::WebRequest| inherits from
both |electron::WebRequestAPI| and |cppgc::GarbageCollected|.

The install process spawn was not capturing its own signal variable,
causing the error check to incorrectly reference the build signal
instead. This could lead to:
- Install termination by signal going undetected
- False positive errors when build was killed but install succeeded
This commit ensures the install signal is properly captured and
checked, matching the pattern used for the build process.
`bringToFront` DevTools message is sent when breakpoint is triggered
or inspect is called and Chromium upon this message activates DevTools
via `DevToolsUIBindings::Delegate::ActivateWindow`:
```
void DevToolsWindow::ActivateWindow() {
if (life_stage_ != kLoadCompleted)
return;
\#if BUILDFLAG(IS_ANDROID)
NOTIMPLEMENTED();
\#else
if (is_docked_ && GetInspectedBrowserWindow())
main_web_contents_->Focus();
else if (!is_docked_ && browser_ && !browser_->window()->IsActive())
browser_->window()->Activate();
\#endif
}
```
which implements: `DevToolsUIBindings::Delegate::ActivateWindow`.
Electron also implements this interface in:
`electron::InspectableWebContents`. However it was only setting
a zoom level, therefore this commit extends it with activation
of the DevTools.
Only supported for DevTools manged by `electron::InspectableWebContents`.
Closes: #37388
If either `npm_config_electron_use_remote_checksums` or
`electron_use_remote_checksums` are set as environment variables, then
force Electron to verify with remote checksums instead of embedded ones.
Fixes#48594.

* chore: bump nan to 2.23.0
* Fix C++ flags passed to C compiler in NAN spec runner
Passing C++-specific flags to the C compiler caused failures building native test modules.
NAN uprgaded the version of node-gyp it uses, triggering a new codepath with the C compiler that didn't occur before. In that new branch, the C++ flags present in the CFLAGS environment variable we were passing in caused the C compiler to error out:
```
error: invalid argument '-std=c++20' not allowed with 'C'
```
The fix is to only pass C++-specific flags to the C++ compiler, and not the C compiler. This is done by separating out the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS environment variables in our nan-spec-runner.js script.
I'm curious to know more about why each of these flags are necessary, but for now this change restores the previous behavior where native test modules could be built successfully.

This flag has been removed upstream. We've used it since c2d7164 (#38248)
to fix a crash originally described in 97b353a (#34993):
> Delaying spell check initialization is causing specs for
> 'custom dictionary word list API' to fail in Electron.
Since we haven't touched this in a few years, and since there's a
clear success criteria (a passing/failing spec), and since the patch
to restore this flag would be pretty large (~750 lines), I'm going
to try just removing the flag from our source to see if the spec
passes or fails.

We overriden the `GetPackageJSON` in Node.js to let us read files
straight from the ASAR file instead of disk. The override works by
providing a JS method with the limitation that it should not throw a
runtime error. However, this invariant was accidentally violated by
`asar.splitPath` that sometimes contrary to its' TypeScript definition
returned `false`.
fix: macOS stop overriding private cornerMask API to fix WindowServer GPU load spike
Electron fetched a custom `_cornerMask` for `ElectronNSWindow` to smooth
vibrancy corners. On macOS 15 (Tahoe) that private hook forces the window
shadow to be rendered from a fully transparent surface, causing the
WindowServer GPU load regression. Remove the `cornerMask` property and
the `_cornerMask` override so we stay on Apple’s default shadow path.

fix: window.open popups are always resizable
Closes https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/43591.
Per current WHATWG spec, the `window.open` API should always
create a resizable popup window. This change updates the
`parseFeaturesString` function to ensure that windows opened
with `window.open` are always resizable, regardless of the
`resizable` feature string.

The repo was renamed to `minimal-repro` and is no longer intended to be used as a way to start new projects (see PR above).
Since we really want bugs in `electron/electron` to be reported with a Fiddle gist instead of a standalone repo (makes reproducing and bisecting sooo much easier and safer!), I removed the repo from the README completely instead of mentioning as an issue reproduction starting point.

ElectronRendererClient. The default ContentRendererClient assumes
that crash reporting is enabled (crashpad enabled by default) and does
not set up its own handler.

GTK >= 3.90.0 removed support for menuitem icons. When Electron is

We previously made a change in https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/45868
to fix content protection being lost on hide and re-show. However, this
cause a breaking change where protected windows were made opaque black
instead of being hidden as before. This overrides relevant methods in
ElectronDesktopWindowTreeHostWin to restore the previous behavior.

* Remove microtasks_scope.h and microtasks_scope.cc
* Use v8::MicrotasksScope when ignoring browser checkpoint
These call always skip the browser checkpoint, so they are equivalent to using v8::MicrotasksScope directly (modulo the optional wrapper behavior).
* Remove MicrotasksScope from node_bindings.cc
This code seems contradictory: it explicitly specifies "do not run microtasks" yet runs a microtask checkpoint in the browser process.
Looking at its history, it [was introduced][1] with the intention to not run microtasks, but a [subtle C++ language behavior][2] caused it to do the opposite later in the same roll. Since the original intention was to not run microtasks, and since that is also the simplest explanation, we can assume `ignore_browser_checkpoint` should be true and migrate this to `v8::MicrotasksScope` as it is equivalent (modulo the optional wrapper behavior).

* Migrate gin_helper/promise.h and gin_helper/promise.cc to v8::MicrotasksScope
Restores the [original][1] behavior of running the microtask checkpoint at destruction, but preserves the behavior of running microtasks in the browser process. This had last changed in the migration to gin_helper::MicroTasks.

Sets the system accent color and highlighting of active window border.
The `accentColor` parameter accepts the following values:
* **Color string** - Like `true`, but sets a custom accent color using standard CSS color formats (Hex, RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSLA, or named colors). Alpha values in RGBA/HSLA formats are ignored and the color is treated as fully opaque.
* **`true`** - Enable accent color highlighting for the window with the system accent color regardless of whether accent colors are enabled for windows in System `Settings.`
* **`false`** - Disable accent color highlighting for the window regardless of whether accent colors are currently enabled for windows in System Settings.
* **`null`** - Reset window accent color behavior to follow behavior set in System Settings.
Examples:
```js
const win = new BrowserWindow({ frame: false })
// Set red accent color.
win.setAccentColor('#ff0000')
// RGB format (alpha ignored if present).
win.setAccentColor('rgba(255,0,0,0.5)')

* `accentColor` boolean | string | null - The accent color for the window. By default, follows user preference in System Settings. To reset to system default, pass `null`.
Sets the system accent color and highlighting of active window border.
The `accentColor` parameter accepts the following values:
* **Color string** - Like `true`, but sets a custom accent color using standard CSS color formats (Hex, RGB, RGBA, HSL, HSLA, or named colors). Alpha values in RGBA/HSLA formats are ignored and the color is treated as fully opaque.
* **`true`** - Enable accent color highlighting for the window with the system accent color regardless of whether accent colors are enabled for windows in System `Settings.`
* **`false`** - Disable accent color highlighting for the window regardless of whether accent colors are currently enabled for windows in System Settings.
* **`null`** - Reset window accent color behavior to follow behavior set in System Settings.
Examples:
```js
const win = new BrowserWindow({ frame: false })
// Set red accent color.
win.setAccentColor('#ff0000')
// RGB format (alpha ignored if present).
win.setAccentColor('rgba(255,0,0,0.5)')
// Enable accent color, using the color specified in System Settings.

## Chromium Flags
There isn't a documented list of all Chromium switches, but there are a few ways to find them.
The easiest way is through Chromium's flags page, which you can access at `about://flags`. These flags don't directly match switch names, but they show up in the process's command-line arguments.
To see these arguments, enable a flag in `about://flags`, then go to `about://version` in Chromium. You'll find a list of command-line arguments, including `--flag-switches-begin --your --list --flag-switches-end`, which contains the list of your flag enabled switches.
Most flags are included as part of `--enable-features=`, but some are standalone switches, like `--enable-experimental-web-platform-features`.
A complete list of flags exists in [Chromium's flag metadata page](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/main:chrome/browser/flag-metadata.json), but this list includes platform, environment and GPU specific, expired and potentially non-functional flags, so many of them might not always work in every situation.
Keep in mind that standalone switches can sometimes be split into individual features, so there's no fully complete list of switches.
Finally, you'll need to ensure that the version of Chromium in Electron matches the version of the browser you're using to cross-reference the switches.

PipeWire supports a single capture for both screens and windows. If you request the window and screen type, the selected source will be returned as a window capture.
`navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia` does not work on macOS for audio capture due to a fundamental limitation whereby apps that want to access the system's audio require a [signed kernel extension](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Security/Conceptual/System_Integrity_Protection_Guide/KernelExtensions/KernelExtensions.html). Chromium, and by extension Electron, does not provide this.
It is possible to circumvent this limitation by capturing system audio with another macOS app like Soundflower and passing it through a virtual audio input device. This virtual device can then be queried with `navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia`.

### Roles
Roles allow menu items to have predefined behaviors.
It is best to specify `role` for any menu item that matches a standard role,
rather than trying to manually implement the behavior in a `click` function.
The built-in `role` behavior will give the best native experience.
The `label` and `accelerator` values are optional when using a `role` and will
default to appropriate values for each platform.
Every menu item must have either a `role`, `label`, or in the case of a separator
a `type`.
The `role` property can have following values:
*`undo`
*`about` - Trigger a native about panel (custom message box on Window, which does not provide its own).
*`redo`
*`cut`
*`copy`
*`paste`
*`pasteAndMatchStyle`
*`selectAll`
*`delete`
*`minimize` - Minimize current window.
*`close` - Close current window.
*`quit` - Quit the application.
*`reload` - Reload the current window.
*`forceReload` - Reload the current window ignoring the cache.
*`toggleDevTools` - Toggle developer tools in the current window.
*`togglefullscreen` - Toggle full screen mode on the current window.
*`resetZoom` - Reset the focused page's zoom level to the original size.
*`windowMenu` - Whole default "Window" menu (Minimize, Zoom, etc.).

*`appMenu` - Whole default "App" menu (About, Services, etc.)
*`hide` - Map to the `hide` action.

*`moveTabToNewWindow` - Map to the `moveTabToNewWindow` action.

When specifying a `role` on macOS, `label` and `accelerator` are the only
options that will affect the menu item. All other options will be ignored.
Lowercase `role`, e.g. `toggledevtools`, is still supported.
**Note:** The `enabled` and `visibility` properties are not available for top-level menu items in the tray on macOS.

An example of creating the application menu with the simple template API:
macOS has a completely different style of application menu from Windows and
Linux. Here are some notes on making your app's menu more native-like.
### Standard Menus
On macOS there are many system-defined standard menus, like the [`Services`](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsapplication/1428608-servicesmenu?language=objc) and
`Windows` menus. To make your menu a standard menu, you should set your menu's
`role` to one of the following and Electron will recognize them and make them
become standard menus:
* `window`
* `help`
* `services`
### Standard Menu Item Actions
macOS has provided standard actions for some menu items, like `About xxx`,
`Hide xxx`, and `Hide Others`. To set the action of a menu item to a standard
action, you should set the `role` attribute of the menu item.
### Main Menu's Name
On macOS the label of the application menu's first item is always your app's
name, no matter what label you set. To change it, modify your app bundle's
`Info.plist` file. See
[About Information Property List Files][AboutInformationPropertyListFiles]
for more information.
## Setting Menu for Specific Browser Window (_Linux_ _Windows_)
The [`setMenu` method][setMenu] of browser windows can set the menu of certain
browser windows.
## Menu Item Position
You can make use of `before`, `after`, `beforeGroupContaining`, `afterGroupContaining` and `id` to control how the item will be placed when building a menu with `Menu.buildFromTemplate`.
* `before` - Inserts this item before the item with the specified id. If the
referenced item doesn't exist the item will be inserted at the end of
the menu. Also implies that the menu item in question should be placed in the same “group” as the item.
* `after` - Inserts this item after the item with the specified id. If the
referenced item doesn't exist the item will be inserted at the end of
the menu. Also implies that the menu item in question should be placed in the same “group” as the item.
* `beforeGroupContaining` - Provides a means for a single context menu to declare
the placement of their containing group before the containing group of the item with the specified id.
* `afterGroupContaining` - Provides a means for a single context menu to declare
the placement of their containing group after the containing group of the item with the specified id.
By default, items will be inserted in the order they exist in the template unless one of the specified positioning keywords is used.

The `nativeImage` module provides a unified interface for manipulating
system images. These can be handy if you want to provide multiple scaled
versions of the same icon or take advantage of macOS [template images][template-image].
