trop[bot] 616026ce1c docs: clarify ASAR integrity is supported in MAS builds (#49853)
* docs: clarify ASAR integrity is supported in MAS builds

Add a note to the ASAR integrity documentation explicitly stating
that this feature is fully supported and recommended in Mac App
Store builds. While MAS-installed apps have system-level protections,
ASAR integrity provides an additional security layer and is important
for MAS builds distributed outside the Mac App Store.

* docs: clarify ASAR integrity support for MAS builds

Updates the ASAR integrity documentation to explicitly mention that
it is supported and recommended in Mac App Store builds. Clarifies
that while MAS-installed apps have system-level protections (Resources
folder owned by root), ASAR integrity is especially important when
distributing MAS builds through other channels like direct download,
since those installations won't have the read-only protections.

Official Guides

Please make sure that you use the documents that match your Electron version. The version number should be a part of the page URL. If it's not, you are probably using the documentation of a development branch which may contain API changes that are not compatible with your Electron version. To view older versions of the documentation, you can browse by tag on GitHub by opening the "Switch branches/tags" dropdown and selecting the tag that matches your version.
