Bumps the electron group with 2 updates in the / directory: electron and electron-to-chromium.

Updates electron from 41.4.0 to 42.1.0

Release notes

Sourced from electron's releases.

electron v42.1.0

Release Notes for v42.1.0

Fixes

  • Fixed a crash in the macOS Touch ID WebAuthn prompt caused by a missing string resource, and added touchID.promptReason to app.configureWebAuthn() to customize the prompt text. #51594 (Also in 41, 43)
  • Fixed a crash on MacOS when a user clicked into a title bar or top view. #51605 (Also in 43)

Other Changes

  • Improved performance of webRequest header conversions and several other gin converter hot paths. #51607 (Also in 43)
  • Improved performance of native event emission, IPC dispatch, and option-dictionary parsing. #51614 (Also in 41)

electron v42.0.1

Release Notes for v42.0.1

Fixes

  • Fixed DesktopCapturer crash on macOS. #51506
  • Fixed ELECTRON_INSTALL_PLATFORM being ignored when resolving the Electron executable path during postinstall, which caused path.txt to be written for the host platform instead of the requested target and made isInstalled() always re-download on subsequent installs. #51370
  • Fixed app.getLoginItemSettings() returning undefined for executableWillLaunchAtLogin on macOS; the property is now always a boolean. #51507 (Also in 40, 41)
  • Fixed a potential race condition crash when closing DevTools. #51473 (Also in 41)

Other Changes

  • Updated Chromium to 148.0.7778.97. #51517

electron v42.0.0

Release Notes for v42.0.0

Stack Upgrades

Breaking Changes

Behavior Changed: macOS notifications now use UNNotification API

Electron has migrated from the deprecated NSUserNotification API to the UNNotification API on macOS. The new API requires that an application be code-signed in order for notifications to be displayed. If an application is not code-signed, notifications will emit a failed event on the Notification object. #47817

Behavior Changed: electron no longer downloads itself via postinstall script

Previously, the electron npm package would download the Electron binary from the repository's GitHub Releases in the package's postinstall script. With recent supply chain security attacks against the npm ecosystem with postinstall scripts as a common attack vector, Electron will now download itself dynamically the first time that its main bin script is run (e.g. via npx electron). See [RFC #22](electron/rfcs#22) for more context. #49328

Behavior Changed: Offscreen rendering default device scale factor

Previously, OSR used the primary display's device scale factor for rendering. Starting from Electron 42, the default changes to a constant value of 1.0 for more consistent output sizes. Use webPreferences.offscreen.deviceScaleFactor to specify a custom value. #49683

Fix Mac CI test failures by adding static electron mock to index.test.ts

@wojtekn
Fix Mac CI test failures caused by Electron 42 lazy binary download
e77cf91 
Electron 42 removed the postinstall binary download and replaced it with
lazy downloading on first require(). This means any test that transitively
requires electron (e.g. via electron-squirrel-startup) will attempt a live
network download if the binary is absent, causing CI failures on fresh installs.

Set ELECTRON_OVERRIDE_DIST_PATH in vitest.config.ts to bypass the binary
path resolution entirely. This is the officially supported mechanism for
test/CI environments where the Electron binary is not needed.
