chore(deps): upgrade electron from 40.6.1 to 40.8.0#13288
Merged
Conversation
Electron 40.8.0 fixes the native crash when closing transparent frameless windows on Windows (Chromium 144 compositor use-after-free). This allows us to remove the hide-then-destroy workaround added in #13177. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: fullex <[email protected]>
