76-77: User experience change: Windows now open maximized by defaultThis change makes all browser windows maximize immediately upon creation, which changes the default user experience. While this may enhance the Picture-in-Picture functionality, consider:
- Is this behavior desirable for all users and scenarios?
- Should this be a configurable setting rather than a hard-coded behavior?
- Should the window size/state be persisted between sessions?
Consider making window maximization behavior configurable:
+ import { getSettings } from "@/saving/settings"; constructor(browser: Browser, type: BrowserWindowType, options: BrowserWindowCreationOptions = {}) { // ...existing code... this.window = new BrowserWindow({ // ...existing options... }); - this.window.maximize(); + // Maximize window based on settings or default behavior + getSettings().then(settings => { + if (settings.window?.startMaximized !== false) { + this.window.maximize(); + } + }).catch(() => { + // Fall back to maximized if settings can't be loaded + this.window.maximize(); + }); // ...rest of constructor... }electron/browser/tabs/tab-manager.ts (1)
193-207: Use optional‑chaining & minimal guard logicThe null‑check on
tabcan be simplified with optional‑chaining, which also satisfies the BiomeuseOptionalChainlint error flagged at this location.- const tab = this.getTabById(tabId); - if (tab && tab.isPictureInPicture) { + const tab = this.getTabById(tabId); + if (tab?.isPictureInPicture) { tab.isPictureInPicture = false; tab.emit("updated"); this.setActiveTab(tab); return true; } return false;Besides tidier code, this avoids accidentally dereferencing
undefinedif the method is called after the tab has been removed.🧰 Tools

170-173:browser?.tabsmay still beundefined– add an extra optional‑chainIf, for any reason, the
Browserinstance exists but itstabsmanager has not been initialised, the current code will attempt to readdisablePictureInPictureonundefinedand throw. A single character fixes the edge‑case:- const disabled = browser?.tabs.disablePictureInPicture(tabId); + const disabled = browser?.tabs?.disablePictureInPicture(tabId);Returning
falseon failure (as you already do) is then guaranteed.electron/browser/tabs/tab.ts (2)
100-104: Public flag added — consider initial sync on construction
isPictureInPicturedefaults tofalse, but if the tab happens to load a page that is already in PiP before the first layout pass, the flag could be out‑of‑sync.
Not critical, yet initialising by interrogatingdocument.pictureInPictureElementonce afterdid-finish-loadwould make the state authoritative.
512-537: Exiting PiP: race‑condition & leakage of inline function
exitPiPis re‑created on every visibility change; extracting it to aconstoutsideupdateLayout(or to a private static) avoids needless re‑allocations.- Because
executeJavaScriptis asynchronous, the tab could flip visibility again before the promise settles, leavingisPictureInPicturebriefly incorrect. Awaiting it (or storing a localvisibleAtCallTimeflag) would prevent the mismatch.No functional bug today, but the above would make the state handling more robust.

13-13: Appropriate type addition for PiP state trackingThe addition of the
isPictureInPictureboolean property to theTabDatatype is well-placed and properly typed. This follows the existing pattern of using boolean flags with theisprefix to track tab states.vite/src/lib/flow/interfaces/browser/tabs.ts (1)
37-41: Well-documented API method for disabling PiP modeThe
disablePictureInPicturemethod is appropriately added to the interface with proper typing and comprehensive JSDoc documentation. It correctly follows the pattern of other API methods, taking a tab ID and returning a Promise with a boolean result.electron/browser/window.ts (2)
10-10: Minor syntactic improvementAdding a semicolon to the import statement follows JavaScript/TypeScript best practices.
54-54: Removed trailing commaRemoval of the trailing comma in the object literal is a minor syntactic improvement.

20-22: 👍 Property forwarded correctly
isPictureInPictureis now included in the serializedTabData. No issues spotted.

20-20: LGTM: Properly exposing PiP state in the tab data structureThe addition of the
isPictureInPictureproperty to the tab data structure is a clean implementation that correctly exposes the Picture-in-Picture state from the Tab object to the renderer process.
