Note

Medium Risk
A multi-major Electron upgrade changes the embedded Chromium/Node runtime for the whole app; validate builds, native modules (e.g. better-sqlite3), and macOS behavior after upgrade.

Overview
Bumps the desktop shell’s Electron dev dependency from 40.0.0 to 43.2.0, with the corresponding package-lock.json refresh.

The lockfile reflects Electron’s newer install stack: @electron/get v5, @electron-internal/extract-zip instead of extract-zip, optional undici instead of global-agent, and Node >=22.12.0 for the Electron package and related tooling. Several transitive packages tied to the old download/extract path were dropped, and semver is consolidated at 7.8.5 at the top level.

There are no application source changes in this PR—only dependency versions.

SQLite rebuild targets wrong Electron

High Severity

Updating the electron dependency to ^43.2.0 without updating the rebuild:electron script means better-sqlite3 is compiled for Electron 40. When running with Electron 43 (via npm start, dev, or test:e2e), this ABI mismatch can cause better-sqlite3 to fail loading or crash, impacting main-process operations like storage and queue cleanup.
