Chromium added a top-level package.json in CL:7485999 that sets
the type to module and breaks commonjs tests run via
node-spec-runner.js. This commit temporarily changes the type to
commonjs while running the tests, then changes it back to module when done.

Upstream DevTools' HostRuntime checks `IS_NODE` before `IS_BROWSER` when
selecting the platform runtime. In Electron, `process` is available in
renderer processes, so `IS_NODE` evaluates to `true` in the DevTools
context. This causes DevTools to dynamically import the Node.js platform
runtime, which uses `node:worker_threads`. DevTools Web Workers running
under the `devtools://` protocol cannot load Node.js built-in modules,
so the import fails and breaks features like the formatter worker.
Fix by swapping the check order to prefer `IS_BROWSER` when both are
true. This is safe because in pure Node.js environments (the only case
where the node runtime is needed), `window` and `self` are both
undefined, so `IS_BROWSER` is always `false` regardless of check order.

* fix: preserve staged update dir when pruning orphaned update dirs on macOS
The previous squirrel.mac patch cleaned up all staged update directories
before starting a new download. This kept disk usage bounded but broke
quitAndInstall() if called while a subsequent checkForUpdates() was in
flight — the already-staged bundle would be deleted out from under it.
This reworks the patch to read ShipItState.plist and preserve the
directory it references, deleting only truly orphaned update.XXXXXXX
directories. Disk footprint stays bounded (at most 2 dirs: staged +
in-progress) and quitAndInstall() remains safe mid-check.
Also adds test coverage for the quitAndInstall/checkForUpdates race and
a triple-stack scenario where 3 updates arrive without a restart.

* fix: prevent traffic light buttons flashing on deminiaturize
When a window with a custom `trafficLightPosition` is minimized and
restored, macOS re-layouts the title bar container during the
deminiaturize animation, causing the traffic light buttons to briefly
appear at their default position before being repositioned.
Fix this by hiding the buttons container in `windowWillMiniaturize` and
restoring them (with a redraw to the correct position) in
`windowDidDeminiaturize`.

- POSIX: validate StringToSizeT result and token count when splitting
the socket message into argv and additionalData; previously a
malformed message could produce incorrect slicing.
- Windows: base64-encode additionalData before embedding in the
null-delimited wchar_t buffer. The prior reinterpret_cast approach
dropped everything after the first aligned 0x0000 in the serialized
payload, so complex objects could arrive truncated.
Manually backported from #50119
fix: validate protocol scheme names in setAsDefaultProtocolClient
On Windows, `app.setAsDefaultProtocolClient(protocol)` directly
concatenates the protocol string into the registry key path with no
validation. A protocol name containing `\` could write to an arbitrary
subkey under `HKCU\Software\Classes\`, potentially hijacking existing
protocol handlers.
To fix this, add `Browser::IsValidProtocolScheme()` which validates that a protocol
name conforms to the RFC 3986 scheme grammar:
scheme = ALPHA *( ALPHA / DIGIT / "+" / "-" / "." )
This rejects backslashes, forward slashes, whitespace, and any other
characters not permitted in URI schemes.

* fix: use requesting frame origin instead of top-level URL for permissions
`WebContentsPermissionHelper::RequestPermission` passes
`web_contents_->GetLastCommittedURL()` as the origin to the permission
manager instead of the actual requesting frame's origin. This enables
origin confusion when granting permissions to embedded third-party iframes,
since app permission handlers see the top-level origin instead of the
iframe's. The same pattern exists in the HID, USB, and Serial device
choosers, where grants are keyed to the primary main frame's origin rather
than the requesting frame's.
Fix this by using `requesting_frame->GetLastCommittedOrigin()` in all
affected code paths, renaming `details.requestingUrl` to
`details.requestingOrigin`, and populating it with the serialized
origin only.
Co-authored-by: Shelley Vohr <shelley.vohr@gmail.com>
* chore: keep requestingUrl name in permission handler details
The previous commit changed the details.requestingUrl field to
details.requestingOrigin in permission request/check handlers. That
field was already populated from the requesting frame's RFH, so the
rename was unnecessary and would break apps that read the existing
property. Revert to requestingUrl to preserve the existing API shape.
The functional changes to use the requesting frame in
WebContentsPermissionHelper and the HID/USB/Serial choosers remain.

git format-patch honors diff.renames, which defaults to 'true' (rename
detection only). If a user has diff.renames=copies configured at the
system or global level, exported patches may encode new files as copies
of similar existing files, causing spurious diffs against patches
exported on other machines. Pin diff.renames=true to match git's
default.

PowerMonitor registered OS-level callbacks (HWND UserData and
WTS/suspend notifications on Windows, shutdown handler and lock-screen
observer on macOS) but never cleaned them up in its destructor. The JS
layer also only held the native object in a closure-local variable,
allowing GC to reclaim it while those registrations still referenced
freed memory.
Retain the native PowerMonitor at module level in power-monitor.ts so
it cannot be garbage-collected. Add DestroyPlatformSpecificMonitors()
to properly tear down OS registrations on destruction: on Windows,
unregister WTS and suspend notifications, clear GWLP_USERDATA, and
destroy the HWND; on macOS, remove the emitter from the global
MacLockMonitor and reset the Browser shutdown handler.

Previously, GetProtocolLaunchPath and FormatCommandLineString in
browser_win.cc used naive quoting which could break when paths or
arguments contained backslashes, spaces, or embedded quotes.
Fix by extracting the CommandLineToArgvW-compatible quoting logic from
relauncher_win.cc into a shared utility and use it in both browser_win.cc
and relauncher_win.cc to properly quote the exe path and each argument
individually.

Previously, when trashItemAtURL: failed (e.g. on network shares or
under app translocation), the code fell back to constructing an
AppleScript that interpolated the bundle path directly into a string
literal via %@ with no escaping. This was fragile and unnecessary —
trashItemAtURL: has been the standard API since 10.8 and covers the
relevant cases. The fix simply removes the AppleScript fallback
entirely, so Trash() now returns the result of trashItemAtURL: directly.

device_id via chooser_context_->GetDeviceInfo(), which searches all
known USB devices on the system rather than the filtered list shown to
the select-usb-device handler. This meant a device excluded by the
renderer's filters or exclusion_filters could still be granted
permission if the handler returned its GUID.

fix: bind offscreen paint callback to child WebContents
Previously, MaybeOverrideCreateParamsForNewWindow bound the
OffScreenWebContentsView's paint callback to the parent WebContents
using base::Unretained(this). This was both unsafe (dangling pointer
risk if the parent is destroyed before the child) and semantically
incorrect — paint events belong to the child window, not the opener.
Replace the callback in MaybeOverrideCreateParamsForNewWindow with
base::DoNothing(), then rebind it to the child WebContents in
AddNewContents via a new SetCallback method on OffScreenWebContentsView.

Enter the destination context scope before creating the VideoFrame V8
wrapper, matching the sibling Element and Blob branches. Without this,
ScriptState::ForCurrentRealm resolved to the calling context instead of
the target context, producing an incorrect wrapper.
Also switch to ScriptState::From with an explicit context argument to
make the intent clearer.

EnterFullscreenModeForTab, RequestPointerLock, and RequestKeyboardLock
bind callbacks with base::Unretained(this); fullscreen also captures a
raw RenderFrameHost*. These callbacks may be invoked by the app's JS
permission handler after the WebContents or RenderFrameHost is destroyed.
Use GetWeakPtr() in all three call sites, and capture a
GlobalRenderFrameHostToken instead of the raw RenderFrameHost* for
fullscreen so the pointer is resolved and null-checked only when the
callback fires. Cancel in-flight permission requests from ~WebContents()
via a new ElectronPermissionManager::CancelPendingRequests()` so stale
callbacks are never handed back to JS.

fix: authenticate curl requests to googlesource in lint workflow
The "Download GN Binary" and "Download clang-format Binary" steps
fetch files from chromium.googlesource.com without passing
authentication cookies. When googlesource rate-limits or returns a
transient error (502), the HTML error page is piped into `base64 -d`,
causing `base64: invalid input`.
The `set-chromium-cookie` action already configures `~/.gitcookies`
in a prior step. Pass `-b ~/.gitcookies` to both `curl` calls so
they authenticate, matching what the cookie verification step itself
does.

ElectronRendererClient::DidCreateScriptContext (and the worker
equivalent) save Blink's fetch/Response/FormData/Request/Headers/
EventSource as temporary globalThis.blink* properties before Node
initialization may overwrite them. node/init.ts and worker/init.ts
restore the originals but previously never deleted the temporary
blink* globals.
They persisted as non-standard global pollution visible to page
content when contextIsolation is disabled -- a minor fingerprinting
signal and a bypass for any preload that wraps window.fetch (page
could call blinkfetch() instead).

The MAS safeStorage patch had three bugs:
1. `AddRandomPasswordToKeychain` was called with the unsuffixed account
name, so first launches always created the wrong keychain entry,
triggering an unnecessary migration on the next launch.
2. `FindGenericPassword` never populated the `SecKeychainItemRef` output
parameter — the SecItem API doesn't return that deprecated type.
3. `ItemDelete` was a no-op stub that always returned `noErr` without
actually deleting anything.
Fixes all three by using `suffixed_account_name` for new entries,
removing the unused `SecKeychainItemRef` parameter, and implementing
`ItemDelete` with `SecItemDelete` using the modern SecItem API.

fix: clean up old staged updates before downloading new update
When checkForUpdates() is called while an update is already staged,
Squirrel creates a new temporary directory for the download without
cleaning up the old one. This can lead to disk usage growth when
new versions are released while the app hasn't restarted.
This adds a force parameter to pruneUpdateDirectories that bypasses
the AwaitingRelaunch state check. This is called before creating a

Starting from Chromium 134.0.6989.0 (Electron 35.0.0-beta.5), the
NativeWidgetMacNSWindow class overrides accessibilityDocument to return
the web content URL from the accessibility tree, but doesn't fall back
to NSWindow's default behavior when that URL is empty.
This broke Electron's setRepresentedFilename() API - the file path was
still set on the NSWindow, but no longer exposed via the AXDocument
accessibility attribute that screen readers use.
This fix adds an accessibilityDocument override in ElectronNSWindow that
checks representedFilename first, falling back to Chromium's behavior
for web content URLs.

Unfortunately this means that `generic_path()` that the

calling was no longer a safe method to call on Windows if the underlying

* docs(timelines): Correct v40.0.0 stable release date
On the Electron Timelines tutorial page (/docs/latest/tutorial/electron-timelines), there is a clear typo in the release schedule for v40.0.0.
The table currently lists the dates as:
* Alpha: 2025-Oct-30
* Beta: 2025-Dec-03
* **Stable: 2025-Oct-28**
This is logically incorrect, as the 'Stable' release date (Oct 28) is listed *before* both the 'Alpha' (Oct 30) and 'Beta' (Dec 03) dates for the same version.
This appears to be a copy-paste error, as the 'Stable' date (2025-Oct-28) is identical to the 'Stable' date for the v39.0.0 release in the preceding row.
This commit updates the 'Stable' date for v40.0.0 to its correct value, ensuring the timeline is accurate and logical.

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.

description: Guide for performing Chromium version upgrades in the Electron project. Use when working on the roller/chromium/main branch to fix patch conflicts during `e sync --3`. Covers the patch application workflow, conflict resolution, analyzing upstream Chromium changes, and proper commit formatting for patch fixes.
---
# Electron Chromium Upgrade: Phase One
## Summary
Run `e sync --3` repeatedly, fixing patch conflicts as they arise, until it succeeds. Then run `e patches all` and commit changes atomically.
## Success Criteria
Phase One is complete when:
-`e sync --3` exits with code 0 (no patch failures)
-`e patches all` has been run to export all changes
- All changes are committed per the commit guidelines below
Do not stop until these criteria are met.
**CRITICAL** Do not delete or skip patches unless 100% certain the patch is no longer needed. Complicated conflicts or hard to resolve issues should be presented to the user after you have exhausted all other options. Do not delete the patch just because you can't solve it.
## Context
The `roller/chromium/main` branch is created by automation to update Electron's Chromium dependency SHA. No work has been done to handle breaking changes between the old and new versions.
**Key directories:**
- Current directory: Electron repo (always run `e` commands here)
-`..` (parent): Chromium repo (where most patches apply)
-`patches/`: Patch files organized by target
-`docs/development/patches.md`: Patch system documentation
## Workflow
1. Delete the `.git/rr-cache` in both the `electron` and `..` folder to ensure no accidental rerere replays occur from before this upgrade phase attempt started
2. Run `e sync --3` (the `--3` flag enables 3-way merge, always required)
3. If succeeds → skip to step 6
4. If patch fails:
- Identify target repo and patch from error output
- Analyze failure (see references/patch-analysis.md)
- Fix conflict in target repo's working directory
- Run `git am --continue` in affected repo
- Repeat until all patches for that repo apply
- IMPORTANT: Once `git am --continue` succeeds you MUST run `e patches {target}` to export fixes
- Return to step 1
5. When `e sync --3` succeeds, run `e patches all`
6.**Read `references/phase-one-commit-guidelines.md` NOW**, then commit changes following those instructions exactly.
Before committing any Phase One changes, you MUST read `references/phase-one-commit-guidelines.md` and follow its instructions exactly.
## Commands Reference
| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `e sync --3` | Clone deps and apply patches with 3-way merge |
| `git am --continue` | Continue after resolving conflict (run in target repo) |
| `e patches {target}` | Export commits from target repo to patch files |
| `e patches all` | Export all patches from all targets |
| `e patches --list-targets` | List targets and config paths |
| Creating new patch (rare, avoid) | Commit in target repo, then `e patches {target}` |
Fix existing patches 99% of the time rather than creating new ones.
## Patch Fixing Rules
1.**Preserve authorship**: Keep original author in TODO comments (from patch `From:` field)
2.**Never change TODO assignees**: `TODO(name)` must retain original name
3.**Update descriptions**: If upstream changed (e.g., `DCHECK` → `CHECK_IS_TEST`), update patch commit message to reflect current state
## Final Deliverable
After Phase One, write a summary of every change: what was fixed, why, reasoning, and Chromium CL links.
# Electron Chromium Upgrade: Phase Two
## Summary
Run `e build -k 999` repeatedly, fixing build issues as they arise, until it succeeds. Then run `e start --version` to validate Electron launches and commit changes atomically.
Run Phase Two immediately after Phase One is complete.
## Success Criteria
Phase Two is complete when:
-`e build -k 999` exits with code 0 (no build failures)
-`e start --version` has been run to check Electron launches
- All changes are committed per the commit guidelines below
Do not stop until these criteria are met. Do not delete code or features, never comment out code in order to take short cut. Make all existing code, logic and intention work.
## Context
The `roller/chromium/main` branch is created by automation to update Electron's Chromium dependency SHA. No work has been done to handle breaking changes between the old and new versions. Chromium APIs frequently are renamed or refactored. In every case the code in Electron must be updated to account for the change in Chromium, strongly avoid making changes to the code in chromium to fix Electrons build.
**Key directories:**
- Current directory: Electron repo (always run `e` commands here)
-`..` (parent): Chromium repo (do not touch this code to fix build issues, just read it to obtain context)
## Workflow
1. Run `e build -k 999` (the `-k 999` flag is a flag to ninja to say "do not stop until you find that many errors" it is an attempt to get as much error
context as possible for each time we run build)
2. If succeeds → skip to step 6
3. If build fails:
- Identify underlying file in "electron" from the compilation error message
- Analyze failure
- Fix build issue by adapting Electron's code for the change in Chromium
- Run `e build -t {target_that_failed}.o` to build just the failed target we were specifically fixing
- You can identify the target_that_failed from the failure line in the build log. E.g. `FAILED: 2e506007-8d5d-4f38-bdd1-b5cd77999a77 "./obj/electron/chromium_src/chrome/process_singleton_posix.o" CXX obj/electron/chromium_src/chrome/process_singleton_posix.o` the target name is `obj/electron/chromium_src/chrome/process_singleton_posix.o`
- **Read `references/phase-two-commit-guidelines.md` NOW**, then commit changes following those instructions exactly.
- Return to step 1
4.**CRITICAL**: After ANY commit (especially patch commits), immediately run `git status` in the electron repo
- Look for other modified `.patch` files that only have index/hunk header changes
- These are dependent patches affected by your fix
The build output is extremely verbose. Filtering is essential to catch errors quickly.
## Commands Reference
| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `e build -k 999` | Builds Electron and won't stop until either all targets attempted or 999 errors found |
| `e build -t {target}.o` | Build just one specific target to verify a fix |
| `e start --version` | Validate Electron launches after successful build |
## Two Types of Build Fixes
### A. Patch Fixes (for files in chromium_src or patched Chromium files)
When the error is in a file that Electron patches (check with `grep -l "filename" patches/chromium/*.patch`):
1. Edit the file in the Chromium source tree (e.g., `/src/chrome/browser/...`)
2. Create a fixup commit targeting the original patch commit:
```bash
cd .. # to chromium repo
git add <modified-file>
git commit --fixup=<original-patch-commit-hash>
GIT_SEQUENCE_EDITOR=: git rebase --autosquash --autostash -i <commit>^
3. Export the updated patch: e patches chromium
4. Commit the updated patch file in the electron repo following the `references/phase-one-commit-guidelines.md`, then commit changes following those instructions exactly. **READ THESE GUIDELINES BEFORE COMMITTING THESE CHANGES**
To find the original patch commit to fixup: `git log --oneline | grep -i "keyword from patch name"`
The base commit for rebase is the Chromium commit before patches were applied. Find it by checking the `refs/patches/upstream-head` ref.
B. Electron Code Fixes (for files in shell/, electron/, etc.)
When the error is in Electron's own source code:
1. Edit files directly in the electron repo
2. Commit directly (no patch export needed)
Dependent Patch Updates
IMPORTANT: When you modify a patch, other patches that apply to the same file may have their hunk headers invalidated. After committing a patch fix:
1. Run git status in the electron repo
2. Look for other modified .patch files with just index/hunk header changes
Only follow these instructions if there are uncommitted changes to `patches/` after Phase One succeeds.
Ignore other instructions about making commit messages, our guidelines are CRITICALLY IMPORTANT and must be followed.
## Atomic Commits
For each fix made to a patch, create a separate commit:
```
fix(patch-conflict): {concise title}
{Brief explanation, 1-2 paragraphs max}
Ref: {Chromium CL link}
```
IMPORTANT: Ensure that any changes made to patch content as a result of a change in Chromium is committed individually. Each change should have it's own commit message and it's own REF.
IMPORTANT: Try really hard to find the CL reference per the instructions below. Each change you made should in theory have been in response to a change made in Chromium that you identified or can identify. Try for a while to identify and include the ref in the commit message. Do not give up easily.
## Finding CL References
Use `git log` or `git blame` on Chromium source files. Look for:
Only follow these instructions if there are uncommitted changes in the Electron repo after any fixes are made during Phase Two that result a target that was failing, successfully building.
Ignore other instructions about making commit messages, our guidelines are CRITICALLY IMPORTANT and must be followed.
## Two Commit Types
### For Electron Source Changes (shell/, electron/, etc.)
```
{CL-Number}: {concise description of API change}
{Brief explanation of what upstream changed and how Electron was adapted}
Ref: {Chromium CL link}
```
IMPORTANT: Ensure that any change made to electron as a result of a change in Chromium is committed individually. Each change should have it's own commit message and it's own REF. Logically grouped into commits that make sense rather than one giant commit.
IMPORTANT: Try really hard to find the CL reference per the instructions below. Each change you made should in theory have been in response to a change made in Chromium that you identified or can identify. Try for a while to identify and include the ref in the commit message. Do not give up easily.
You may include multiple "Ref" links if required.
For a CL link in the format `https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/2958369` the "CL-Number" is `2958369`
### For Patch Updates (patches/chromium/*.patch)
Use the same fixup workflow as Phase One:
1. Fix in Chromium source tree
2. Fixup commit + rebase
3. Export with `e patches chromium`
4. Commit the patch file:
```
fix(patch-update): {concise description}
{Brief explanation}
Ref: {Chromium CL link}
```
## Dependent Patch Header Updates
After any patch modification, check for other affected patches:
```bash
git status
# If other .patch files show as modified with only hunk header changes:
git add patches/
git commit -m "chore: update patch hunk headers"
```
## Finding CL References
Use git log or git blame on Chromium source files. Look for:

Electron embeds Chromium (rendering) and Node.js (backend) to enable desktop apps with web technologies. The parent directory (`../`) is the Chromium source tree.
### Process Model
Electron has two primary process types, mirroring Chromium:
- **Renderer process** (`shell/renderer/` + `lib/renderer/`): Runs web content in BrowserWindows
### Native ↔ JavaScript Bridge
Each API is implemented as a C++/JS pair:
- C++ side: `shell/browser/api/electron_api_{name}.cc/.h` — uses `gin::Wrappable` and `ObjectTemplateBuilder`
- JS side: `lib/browser/api/{name}.ts` — exports the module, registered in `lib/browser/api/module-list.ts`
- Binding: `NODE_LINKED_BINDING_CONTEXT_AWARE(electron_browser_{name}, Initialize)` in C++ and registered in `shell/common/node_bindings.cc`
- Type declaration: `typings/internal-ambient.d.ts` maps `process._linkedBinding('electron_browser_{name}')`
### Patches System
Electron patches upstream dependencies (Chromium, Node.js, V8, etc.) rather than forking them. Patches live in `patches/` organized by target, with `patches/config.json` mapping directories to repos.

Chromium, and by extension Electron, does not provide this.
### macOS versions 14.2 or higher
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`.
`NSAudioCaptureUsageDescription` Info.plist key must be added in order for audio to be captured by
`desktopCapturer`. If instead you are running Electron from another program like a terminal or IDE
then that parent program must contain the Info.plist key.
This is in order to facillitate use of Apple's new [CoreAudio Tap API](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreAudio/capturing-system-audio-with-core-audio-taps#Configure-the-sample-code-project) by Chromium.

As of Electron `v39.0.0-beta.4`, Chromium [made Apple's new `CoreAudio Tap API` the default](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/ad17e8f8b93d5f34891b06085d373a668918255e)
for desktop audio capture. There is no fallback to the older `Screen & System Audio Recording`
permissions system even if [CoreAudio Tap API](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreAudio/capturing-system-audio-with-core-audio-taps) stream creation fails.
If you need to continue using `Screen & System Audio Recording` permissions for `desktopCapturer`
on macOS versions 14.2 and later, you can apply a Chromium feature flag to force use of that older
permissions system:
```js

`navigator.mediaDevices.getUserMedia` does not work on macOS versions 12.7.6 and prior for audio

## Planned Breaking API Changes (42.0)
### Behavior Changed: Offscreen rendering will use `1.0` as default device scale factor.
Previously, OSR used the primary display's device scale factor for rendering, which made the output frame size vary across users.
Developers had to manually calculate the correct size using `screen.getPrimaryDisplay().scaleFactor`. We now provide an optional property
`webPreferences.offscreen.deviceScaleFactor` to specify a custom value when creating an OSR window. At first, if the property is not set, it defaults
to the primary display's scale factor (preserving the old behavior). Starting from Electron 42, the default will change to a constant value of `1.0`
for more consistent output sizes.
## Planned Breaking API Changes (41.0)
### Behavior Changed: PDFs no longer create a separate WebContents
Previously, PDF resources created a separate guest [WebContents](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/web-contents) for rendering. Now, PDFs are rendered within the same WebContents instead. If you have code to detect PDF resources, use the [frame tree](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/web-frame-main) instead of WebContents.
Under the hood, Chromium [enabled](https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/7239572) a feature that changes PDFs to use out-of-process iframes (OOPIFs) instead of the `MimeHandlerViewGuest` extension.
### Behavior Changed: Updated Cookie Change Cause in the Cookie 'changed' Event
We have updated the [cookie](https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/cookies#event-changed) change cause in the cookie 'changed' event.
When a new cookie is set, the change cause is `inserted`.
When a cookie is deleted, the change cause remains `explicit`.
When the cookie being set is identical to an existing one (same name, domain, path, and value, with no actual changes), the change cause is `inserted-no-change-overwrite`.
When the value of the cookie being set remains unchanged but some of its attributes are updated, such as the expiration attribute, the change cause will be `inserted-no-value-change-overwrite`.
## Planned Breaking API Changes (40.0)
### Deprecated: `clipboard` API access from renderer processes
### Behavior Changed: `NSAudioCaptureUsageDescription` should be included in your app's Info.plist file to use `desktopCapturer` (🍏 macOS ≥14.2)
Per [Chromium update](https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/ad17e8f8b93d5f34891b06085d373a668918255e) which enables Apple's newer [CoreAudio Tap API](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/CoreAudio/capturing-system-audio-with-core-audio-taps#Configure-the-sample-code-project) by default, you now must have `NSAudioCaptureUsageDescription` defined in your `Info.plist` to use `desktopCapturer`.
Electron's `desktopCapturer` will create a dead audio stream if the new permission is absent however no errors or warnings will occur. This is partially a side-effect of Chromium not falling back to the older `Screen & System Audio Recording` permissions system if the new system fails.
