Caution Review failedThe pull request is closed. WalkthroughThis set of changes introduces a new GitHub Actions workflow for automating the build and release process and adds a TypeScript-based configuration for Electron Forge while removing its legacy JavaScript configuration. Package configuration files across the project have been updated, including version bumps, dependency upgrades, and new scripts. Additionally, a version synchronization utility has been added, and the TypeScript configuration has been enhanced to support JSON module resolution. Changes

35-35: Consider moving version sync to a pre-build step.Invoking
syncVersion()directly in the config can be convenient but may cause confusion if the file is imported in non-build contexts (e.g., dev tools). A dedicated build or publish script might provide better clarity and control.
37-65: Platform-specific maker configuration appears valid.These maker entries for Windows (Squirrel), macOS (DMG), and Linux (Flatpak) are configured correctly. If you plan to distribute via other Linux packaging approaches (like AppImage or Snap), consider adding corresponding makers.
87-97: Pre-release mode in GitHub publishing.The GitHub publisher is configured to produce pre-releases. If you intend stable public releases, consider parameterizing
prereleaseso it’s only set in specific scenarios.

🔇 Additional comments (20)
vite/package.json (1)
20-20: Dependency updates look good.The version updates for dependencies and devDependencies are appropriate and will keep the project up-to-date with the latest bug fixes and improvements.
Also applies to: 23-23, 30-30, 34-44
tsconfig.json (1)
8-9: Good addition for JSON module support.Adding
resolveJsonModule: trueis appropriate for enabling JSON imports, which will be needed for the version synchronization utility to properly read and manipulate package.json files..github/workflows/build-and-release.yaml (4)
1-12: Workflow configuration looks good.The workflow is properly configured to trigger on version tags and has the necessary permissions for creating releases.
13-20: Matrix strategy is well-designed.Running on macOS, Ubuntu, and Windows provides comprehensive cross-platform support for builds.
34-44: Flatpak setup for Linux is appropriate.The conditional steps for Ubuntu correctly set up the Flatpak environment needed for Linux packaging.
45-51: Build and release steps look good.Using Bun to install dependencies and run the release command is consistent with the project's setup.
package.json (2)
3-3: Version change noted.Shifting from 1.0.0 to 0.0.12 suggests adopting a more conservative versioning approach, which is reasonable if the project is still in early development.
13-14: Build and release scripts are appropriate.The changes to the build script and the addition of the release script align with Electron Forge's conventions and the new CI workflow.
scripts/sync-version.ts (2)
4-29: Version sync function looks good.The
syncVersionfunction correctly reads the version from the root package.json and updates it in the electron package.json, with proper error handling.
31-34: Direct execution check is appropriate.Checking for direct script execution allows this utility to be run standalone or imported as a module, providing flexibility.
electron/forge.config.ts (5)
13-19: Simple, clear platform determination.This helper function correctly encapsulates platform detection.
21-33: Graceful fallback for Git hash retrieval.The try/catch block ensures consumers don't break if the Git command fails, reverting to the package version in that scenario. This is a sound approach.
66-86: Webpack and auto-unpack native plugins are straightforward.The Webpack plugin config, devServer overlay setting, and the AutoUnpackNatives plugin usage are properly set up for Electron Forge.
98-119: Synchronous file copy is fine for a build pipeline.The
packageAfterCopyhook synchronously copies static assets, which is acceptable in a controlled build environment. No issues noted.
120-122: Solid export definition.Exporting the
configobject as default is aligned with Electron Forge conventions.electron/package.json (5)
4-4: Minor version bump validated.The version bump to
0.0.10is straightforward. Ensure release notes reflect the new changes.
7-11: Author information is well-defined.Providing clear author details helps end users know who is behind the project.
16-17: New build/release scripts.Introducing
"make"and"release"scripts using Electron Forge is a good step toward automated packaging and publishing workflows.
25-25: Electron Squirrel Startup patch version.Updating to
^1.0.1for minor improvements should not introduce breaking changes.
29-36:Details
❓ Verification inconclusive
Confirm updated devDependencies have no regressions.
Multiple Electron Forge packages are now at
^7.7.0, along with other library version bumps. This is likely safe, but it’s prudent to confirm there are no unexpected changes.Also applies to: 38-43
🌐 Web query:
Are there any reported breaking changes or regressions in electron-forge 7.7.0 or related packages?💡 Result:
Electron Forge 7.7.0 and related packages have reported breaking changes and regressions, primarily from user-reported issues and official documentation:
Breaking Changes in Forge 7.x:
Legacy macOS Notarization Removal
Forge 7 removed support for Apple's deprecatedaltoolfor macOS notarization, requiring migration tonotarytool[4][9].Minimum Node.js Version
Increased to Node.js v16.4.0, dropping support for older versions[4].Deprecated Package Support
Dropped compatibility withelectron-prebuiltandelectron-prebuilt-compile[4].TypeScript Template Compatibility
A regression in 7.7.0 causes failures when usingextendsintsconfig.json, blocking app startup with errors like "Unable to use specified module loaders for '.ts'"[3]. This affects projects extending base TypeScript configurations.Reported Regressions:
Template Incompatibility
Users encountered errors like "Template (base) is not compatible with this version of Electron Forge" when using older templates with Forge 7.7.0[17].Experimental Vite Plugin Instability
The@electron-forge/plugin-vite(used in the Vite template) is marked experimental, with minor versions potentially introducing breaking changes[13][16].Key Issues Linked to 7.7.0:
Issue Impact Source electron-forge startfails with extendedtsconfig.jsonBlocks development workflow [GitHub Issue #3883][3] Template compatibility errors Prevents project initialization [GitHub Issue #3874][17] Static storage method for auto-updates Requires configuration changes [Electron Blog][4] For developers upgrading, review the Electron Forge migration guide and test build pipelines thoroughly, especially around TypeScript configurations and macOS code signing[4][6].

Action Required: Verify Compatibility of Electron Forge 7.7.0 Updates
The devDependencies have been updated to Electron Forge 7.7.0 across multiple packages. However, version 7.7.0 is known to introduce several breaking changes and regressions. In particular, please ensure that:
- macOS Notarization: The removal of legacy notarization (using
altool) and the migration tonotarytooldo not disrupt our build/signing process.- Node.js Version: Our environment meets the new minimum requirement of Node.js v16.4.0.
- TypeScript Configuration: If the project extends a base TypeScript configuration (using
extendsintsconfig.json), verify that the reported regression (e.g., template initialization errors) does not affect our workflow.- Template Compatibility: Check that any template-based setups or initialization steps continue to function correctly, as there are reports of template incompatibility errors.
Please run the full test suite and validate build processes for both the sections in lines 29–36 and 38–43 of
electron/package.jsonbefore merging.
