Backport of #53738

See that PR for details.

The utility-process AI receiver commit is omitted because 44-x-y has no Prompt API; the other 18 commits are cherry-picked as-is (two include-list conflicts resolved).

Notes: Fixed several object lifetime issues in Debugger, Menu, Tray, Notification, globalShortcut, utilityProcess, ServiceWorkerMain, WebFrameMain, webFrame, sharedTexture, systemPreferences, netLog, MessagePortMain, net.request and shell.openPath().

The agent host keeps a raw client pointer. If the Debugger was still
attached when cppgc finalized it, a later ForceDetachAllSessions() at
quit called AgentHostClosed() on freed memory.

(cherry picked from commit d14d472)
The id -> WeakPersistent map was never erased after the cppgc migration,
so it grew by one entry per blob upload element for the life of the
process.

(cherry picked from commit c9d5c1c)
ReplyChannel moved the mojo callback out before serializing, so a
non-cloneable ipcMain.handle() result dropped it unrun and the renderer's
ipcRenderer.invoke() never settled. Serialize first and leave the callback
in place for the error reply.

(cherry picked from commit 72338f3)
The isolate-less EmitWarning/EmitDeprecationWarning overloads used
JavascriptEnvironment::GetIsolate(), which only exists in the browser and
utility processes, so nativeImage.createFromNamedImage(name, [h,s,l]) and
long crashReporter.addExtraParameter keys crashed the renderer. Use the
current isolate and fall back to logging.

(cherry picked from commit 81b6eb9)
XDGUtil only ran the callback when waiting for exit, so the promise from
shell.openPath() never settled on Linux. Report launch failure and
success on the no-wait path too.

(cherry picked from commit 745f25d)
A destroyed instance waiting for GC re-ran Destroy() from its destructor
and erased the version-id entry that a newer instance had registered, and
a version that became redundant while already stopped never reached
Destroy() so it stayed pinned. Only erase our own entry and destroy
immediately when the redundant version is not running.

(cherry picked from commit 9f18f02)
Constructor failure paths and a child launch failure never reached
HandleTermination(), so the wrapper stayed self-pinned and no 'exit' was
emitted. Treat both as termination and tolerate a null connector.

(cherry picked from commit f473885)
On the xdg GlobalShortcuts portal path unregister()/unregisterAll() never
told the portal, so the binding survived and the next key press reached
ExecuteCommand() with an empty map and hit NOTREACHED().

(cherry picked from commit 3f37ba0)
…ow()

Close() can emit 'close' synchronously (macOS), and a listener calling
show() from there created a platform notification that the outer Show()
then overwrote, leaving it with a delegate pointer that outlived the
Notification.

(cherry picked from commit bbb44b4)
executeJavaScriptInIsolatedWorld and setSpellCheckProvider cached the
RenderFrame and then read JS-supplied properties whose getters can detach
the frame, leaving a dangling pointer.

(cherry picked from commit 874a200)
content makes the new host current and can run embedder callbacks
(focus/blur from CommitPending) before RenderFrameHostChanged re-keys the
existing WebFrameMain, so touching webContents.mainFrame in that window
constructed a second instance for the same FrameTreeNode and CHECKed.
Also dispose WebFrameMains of a WebContents that api::WebContents stops
observing without owning (webview guests, background pages), and replace
a stale FrameTreeNode entry instead of CHECKing.

(cherry picked from commit d08c6f8)
…nd the MSIX updater

promptTouchID, askForMediaAccess and the MSIX autoUpdater moved or
destroyed the Promise (a cppgc::Persistent) on LocalAuthentication,
AVFoundation, IO and WinRT threads. Bind it into a UI-sequence callback
so only that callback crosses threads, and fix the MSIX put_Completed
failure branch reading callback data that a temporary had already freed.

(cherry picked from commit 9364ed2)
VideoFrames created from a shared texture co-own it and can be destroyed
on any thread, which ran the JS release callback and GPU teardown there.
Delete on the owning sequence and post the frame release callback back.

(cherry picked from commit 30f1395)
Root the menu passed to tray.popUpContextMenu() until it is replaced,
remove the tray icon when the Tray constructor throws, and clean up a
views MenuRunner that refused to run. On macOS root the installed
application menu from the holder that owns its controller; on GTK drop
the status icon MenuGtk when the menu is removed; on X11 clear the
in-window menu bar when no global menu bar was in use; and record an
inserted item before setters that can throw.

(cherry picked from commit 846aef3)
… replay

A 307/308 redirect or retry calls StartReading again, which re-entered the
JS body function, threw, and left the request pinned. A JS stream cannot
be replayed, so abort the upload instead.

(cherry picked from commit 6cdfa37)
Serialization runs JS that can transfer or close the port being posted
from, which left connector_ null for the rest of PostMessage().

(cherry picked from commit 28b1296)
…connects

The Stop() reply owns the promise and is dropped unrun on disconnect, so
the promise never settled. Wrap it so a dropped reply rejects.

(cherry picked from commit 070835c)
The unsignatured destroy() read internal field 0 of any receiver as a
WrappableBase and deleted it, including DeprecatedWrappable and Node
objects whose field 0 is something else.

(cherry picked from commit b25743c)

#### Fixes

- File System Access permission requests and the `file-system-access-restricted` event are scoped to the requesting document, grants are reset when the origin's last page closes, and write access works in in-memory sessions. [#53691](electron/electron#53691) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53695), [43](electron/electron#53694), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53690))</sup>

- Fixed a possible crash on Windows when a file dialog was shown for a window that was being closed at the same time. [#53583](electron/electron#53583) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53585), [43](electron/electron#53584), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53586))</sup>
- Fixed a renderer crash when the main process sent IPC to, or a page navigated, a same-process `window.open()` child whose `contextIsolation` differed from its opener's. [#53539](electron/electron#53539) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53541), [43](electron/electron#53540), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53538))</sup>
- Fixed a spurious `node_init` error being logged when creating a `ShadowRealm` with Node.js integration enabled. [#53579](electron/electron#53579) <sup>(Also in [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53578))</sup>
- Fixed crashes in `setDisplayMediaRequestHandler` when the granted frame had been destroyed or another tab was granted by id. [#53672](electron/electron#53672) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53674), [43](electron/electron#53671), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53673))</sup>
- Fixed several non-functional DevTools integrations: the Security panel's "View certificate" button, Ctrl+wheel zooming inside DevTools, and DevTools keyboard shortcuts (e.g. F8) while the inspected page has focus. [#53630](electron/electron#53630) <sup>(Also in [43](electron/electron#53631), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53471))</sup>
- Fixed window state not being persisted when a window entered or left fullscreen, or was maximized or unmaximized, without also being moved or resized. [#53576](electron/electron#53576) <sup>(Also in [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53577))</sup>
- Internal `<webview>`, `window.close()` and `executeJavaScript` reply IPCs are validated against the sending frame.

- `<webview>` without `allowpopups` also blocks links opened into a new window by modifier-click, and such windows navigate as the clicking document rather than as a browser-initiated load. [#53721](electron/electron#53721) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53719), [43](electron/electron#53718), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53717))</sup>
- `getUserMedia` with `chromeMediaSource: 'desktop'` no longer accepts WebContents source ids; use `chromeMediaSource: 'tab'` with `webContents.getMediaSourceId()` or `setDisplayMediaRequestHandler` to capture a WebContents. [#53709](electron/electron#53709) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53710), [43](electron/electron#53707), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53708))</sup>
- `nodeIntegrationInWorker` now applies only to workers created by frames that themselves have Node integration; enable `nodeIntegrationInSubFrames` to keep Node in workers created by subframes. [#53711](electron/electron#53711) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53713), [43](electron/electron#53712), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53706))</sup>
- `openExternal` permission requests started by a frame that has since gone away are attributed to that frame's origin rather than to the navigating page. [#53699](electron/electron#53699) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53697), [43](electron/electron#53698), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53696))</sup>
- `pointerLock` and `keyboardLock` permission requests now report the requesting frame, and `execCommand('paste')` requires user activation in the frame that calls it. [#53693](electron/electron#53693) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53702), [43](electron/electron#53701), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53692))</sup>

#### Other Changes

- Fixed a renderer crash when the main process sent IPC to, or a page navigated, a same-process `window.open()` child whose `contextIsolation` differed from its opener's. [#53539](electron/electron#53539) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53541), [43](electron/electron#53540), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53538))</sup>

- `<webview>` without `allowpopups` also blocks links opened into a new window by modifier-click, and such windows navigate as the clicking document rather than as a browser-initiated load. [#53721](electron/electron#53721) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53719), [43](electron/electron#53718), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53717))</sup>
- `getUserMedia` with `chromeMediaSource: 'desktop'` no longer accepts WebContents source ids; use `chromeMediaSource: 'tab'` with `webContents.getMediaSourceId()` or `setDisplayMediaRequestHandler` to capture a WebContents. [#53709](electron/electron#53709) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53710), [43](electron/electron#53707), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53708))</sup>

- `openExternal` permission requests started by a frame that has since gone away are attributed to that frame's origin rather than to the navigating page. [#53699](electron/electron#53699) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53697), [43](electron/electron#53698), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53696))</sup>
- `pointerLock` and `keyboardLock` permission requests now report the requesting frame, and `execCommand('paste')` requires user activation in the frame that calls it. [#53693](electron/electron#53693) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53702), [43](electron/electron#53701), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53692))</sup>

- Fixed a renderer crash when the main process sent IPC to, or a page navigated, a same-process `window.open()` child whose `contextIsolation` differed from its opener's. [#53539](electron/electron#53539) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53541), [43](electron/electron#53540), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53538))</sup>

- `<webview>` without `allowpopups` also blocks links opened into a new window by modifier-click, and such windows navigate as the clicking document rather than as a browser-initiated load.

- `openExternal` permission requests started by a frame that has since gone away are attributed to that frame's origin rather than to the navigating page.

- `pointerLock` and `keyboardLock` permission requests now report the requesting frame, and `execCommand('paste')` requires user activation in the frame that calls it. [#53693](electron/electron#53693) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53702), [43](electron/electron#53701), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53692))</sup>

- Fixed a renderer crash when the main process sent IPC to, or a page navigated, a same-process `window.open()` child whose `contextIsolation` differed from its opener's. [#53539](electron/electron#53539) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53541), [43](electron/electron#53540), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53538))</sup>

- `<webview>` without `allowpopups` also blocks links opened into a new window by modifier-click, and such windows navigate as the clicking document rather than as a browser-initiated load.

- `openExternal` permission requests started by a frame that has since gone away are attributed to that frame's origin rather than to the navigating page.

- `pointerLock` and `keyboardLock` permission requests now report the requesting frame, and `execCommand('paste')` requires user activation in the frame that calls it. [#53693](electron/electron#53693) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53702), [43](electron/electron#53701), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53692))</sup>

[#53539](electron/electron#53539) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53541), [43](electron/electron#53540), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53538))</sup>

- `<webview>` without `allowpopups` also blocks links opened into a new window by modifier-click, and such windows navigate as the clicking document rather than as a browser-initiated load.

- `openExternal` permission requests started by a frame that has since gone away are attributed to that frame's origin rather than to the navigating page. [#53699](electron/electron#53699) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53697), [43](electron/electron#53698), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53696))</sup>
- `pointerLock` and `keyboardLock` permission requests now report the requesting frame, and `execCommand('paste')` requires user activation in the frame that calls it. [#53693](electron/electron#53693) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53702), [43](electron/electron#53701), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53692))</sup>

- Fixed a memory leak on Windows when `app.getPreferredSystemLanguages()` was called. [#53868](electron/electron#53868) <sup>(Also in [43](electron/electron#53867), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53869))</sup>
- Fixed a potential UAF in `app.getPreferredSystemLanguages()` on Windows. [#53865](electron/electron#53865) <sup>(Also in [43](electron/electron#53866), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53864))</sup>
- Fixed a renderer crash that could occur when printing from an iframe. [#53762](electron/electron#53762) <sup>(Also in [43](electron/electron#53761), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53763))</sup>
- Fixed a renderer crash when an iframe was removed right after loading with `nodeIntegrationInSubFrames` enabled and `sandbox` disabled, e.g. on pages that embed Meta Pixel. [#53885](electron/electron#53885) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53886), [43](electron/electron#53884), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53883))</sup>
- Fixed a Windows renderer crash when no default locale could be determined. [#53947](electron/electron#53947)
- Fixed an issue where the browser-side check that blocks drag and drop between cross-site frames of the same page was disabled. [#53749](electron/electron#53749) <sup>(Also in [43](electron/electron#53750), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53748))</sup>
- Fixed helper executables on macOS starting a second app instance when launched without a process type, for example through `child_process.fork()` with the `runAsNode` fuse disabled; `fork()` now throws in that configuration. [#53840](electron/electron#53840) <sup>(Also in [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53839))</sup>

- Fixed `webContents` emitting `unresponsive` right after the system wakes from sleep on Windows, and emitting `responsive` when a hung window was hidden rather than when it recovered. [#53764](electron/electron#53764) <sup>(Also in [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53760))</sup>
- Fixed `webContents.capturePage()` on offscreen windows returning an image resampled to the display's scale factor instead of rendered at the window's `offscreen.deviceScaleFactor`. [#53816](electron/electron#53816) <sup>(Also in [43](electron/electron#53818), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53817))</sup>
- Fixed Window Controls Overlay CSS environment variables and `navigator.windowControlsOverlay` not being populated for `WebContentsView`s in a `BaseWindow`. [#53812](electron/electron#53812) <sup>(Also in [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53811))</sup>

##### [v44.3.0](https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/tag/v44.3.0)

### Release Notes for v44.3.0

#### Features

- Added the `ELECTRON_DEBUG_DRAGGABLE_REGIONS` environment variable, which visualizes and logs draggable regions in unpackaged apps to help debug custom title bars. [#53627](electron/electron#53627) <sup>(Also in [43](electron/electron#53633), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53626))</sup>

#### Fixes

- File System Access permission requests and the `file-system-access-restricted` event are scoped to the requesting document, grants are reset when the origin's last page closes, and write access works in in-memory sessions. [#53691](electron/electron#53691) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53695), [43](electron/electron#53694), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53690))</sup>
- Fixed Ctrl+Y not yanking text killed with Ctrl+K in text fields on macOS. [#53714](electron/electron#53714) <sup>(Also in [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53715))</sup>
- Fixed `Tray` icons not appearing when running inside Flatpak or Snap sandboxes on Linux. [#53653](electron/electron#53653) <sup>(Also in [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53654))</sup>
- Fixed `app.getGPUInfo('complete')` stalling the GPU process for several seconds on some Windows systems. [#53644](electron/electron#53644) <sup>(Also in [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53645))</sup>
- Fixed `session.setPermissionCheckHandler` receiving the top-level origin and a null `webContents` for `hid` and `usb` checks made from a subframe. [#53688](electron/electron#53688) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53736), [43](electron/electron#53689), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53679))</sup>
- Fixed `webContents.on()`, `removeListener()` and `removeAllListeners()` throwing "Object has been destroyed" for `console-message` listeners after the WebContents was destroyed. [#53494](electron/electron#53494) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53497), [43](electron/electron#53496), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53495))</sup>
- Fixed a crash on Linux when `process.env` was written while another thread was reading the environment, and a memory leak when a worker thread exits. [#53509](electron/electron#53509) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53511), [43](electron/electron#53510), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53508))</sup>
- Fixed a possible crash on Windows when a file dialog was shown for a window that was being closed at the same time. [#53583](electron/electron#53583) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53585), [43](electron/electron#53584), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53586))</sup>
- Fixed a renderer crash when the main process sent IPC to, or a page navigated, a same-process `window.open()` child whose `contextIsolation` differed from its opener's. [#53539](electron/electron#53539) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53541), [43](electron/electron#53540), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53538))</sup>
- Fixed a spurious `node_init` error being logged when creating a `ShadowRealm` with Node.js integration enabled. [#53579](electron/electron#53579) <sup>(Also in [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53578))</sup>
- Fixed crashes in `setDisplayMediaRequestHandler` when the granted frame had been destroyed or another tab was granted by id. [#53672](electron/electron#53672) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53674), [43](electron/electron#53671), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53673))</sup>
- Fixed several non-functional DevTools integrations: the Security panel's "View certificate" button, Ctrl+wheel zooming inside DevTools, and DevTools keyboard shortcuts (e.g. F8) while the inspected page has focus. [#53630](electron/electron#53630) <sup>(Also in [43](electron/electron#53631), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53471))</sup>
- Fixed window state not being persisted when a window entered or left fullscreen, or was maximized or unmaximized, without also being moved or resized. [#53576](electron/electron#53576) <sup>(Also in [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53577))</sup>
- Internal `<webview>`, `window.close()` and `executeJavaScript` reply IPCs are validated against the sending frame. [#53723](electron/electron#53723) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53727), [43](electron/electron#53726), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53724))</sup>
- `<webview>` without `allowpopups` also blocks links opened into a new window by modifier-click, and such windows navigate as the clicking document rather than as a browser-initiated load. [#53721](electron/electron#53721) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53719), [43](electron/electron#53718), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53717))</sup>
- `getUserMedia` with `chromeMediaSource: 'desktop'` no longer accepts WebContents source ids; use `chromeMediaSource: 'tab'` with `webContents.getMediaSourceId()` or `setDisplayMediaRequestHandler` to capture a WebContents. [#53709](electron/electron#53709) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53710), [43](electron/electron#53707), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53708))</sup>
- `nodeIntegrationInWorker` now applies only to workers created by frames that themselves have Node integration; enable `nodeIntegrationInSubFrames` to keep Node in workers created by subframes. [#53711](electron/electron#53711) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53713), [43](electron/electron#53712), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53706))</sup>
- `openExternal` permission requests started by a frame that has since gone away are attributed to that frame's origin rather than to the navigating page. [#53699](electron/electron#53699) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53697), [43](electron/electron#53698), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53696))</sup>
- `pointerLock` and `keyboardLock` permission requests now report the requesting frame, and `execCommand('paste')` requires user activation in the frame that calls it. [#53693](electron/electron#53693) <sup>(Also in [42](electron/electron#53702), [43](electron/electron#53701), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53692))</sup>

#### Other Changes

- Fixed the app becoming unresponsive when a page has a very large number of `app-region` draggable elements. [#53597](electron/electron#53597) <sup>(Also in [43](electron/electron#53632), [45](https://github.com/electron/electron/pull/53596))</sup>
- Updated Chromium to 152.0.7977.78. [#53523](electron/electron#53523)
