Summary

Upgrade Electron to 43.4.1 and add runtime/profile safety guards that block unsupported Electron versions and downgrades before Yomitan storage loads. Development launches now use an isolated SubMiner-dev profile by default, suspicious empty dictionary states block automatic changes, and obsolete Linux thumbnailer support is removed.

Type of change

  • Bug fix
  • New feature
  • Refactor / internal
  • Documentation
  • Other

Related issues

None.

How was this tested?

Added focused coverage for Electron runtime guards, profile selection, Yomitan dictionary integrity, launcher behavior, and Linux support-asset updates. Full handoff verification was not run.

Checklist

  • Reconciled current-outcome changelog fragment(s), or this PR is labeled skip-changelog (see changes/README.md)
  • Docs updated in the same PR if behavior, defaults, flags, shortcuts, ports, or APIs changed
  • Relevant checks pass locally (typecheck, tests, build)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added safeguards against incompatible or downgraded desktop runtimes.
    • Added protection against unsafe dictionary storage changes.
    • Development and debugging profiles now use isolated configuration paths by default.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Disabled rounded window corners on Linux for improved consistency.
  • Chores

    • Updated the Electron runtime to version 43.4.1.

- Block unsupported or downgraded Electron runtimes before loading profile storage
- Isolate development profiles and guard against unexpected dictionary loss

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds Electron runtime and dictionary integrity guards, supports isolated development profiles, propagates early profile paths, adds durable atomic file writes, and disables rounded corners for Linux overlay and stats windows.

Changes

Startup and storage safety

Layer / File(s) Summary
Early profile path selection
src/main-entry-runtime.ts, src/main-entry-runtime.test.ts
configureEarlyAppPaths supports injected arguments and environment values. Development arguments select SubMiner-dev unless production-profile mode is enabled.
Boot configuration propagation
src/main-entry-runtime.ts, src/main/boot/services.ts, src/main/boot/services.test.ts, src/main.ts
Boot services use the config directory selected by the early entrypoint and propagate it to service paths.
Durable runtime state storage
src/shared/fs-utils.ts
writeTextFileAtomicallyDurable writes, flushes, atomically replaces, and cleans up durable text files.
Electron runtime guard
package.json, src/main/electron-runtime-guard.ts, src/main/electron-runtime-guard.test.ts, src/main-entry.ts
The guard accepts Electron 43, rejects invalid versions and downgrades, validates profile records, and persists accepted runtime state. Startup stops before loading main.js when the guard fails.
Startup and dictionary integrity enforcement
src/main.ts, src/main/runtime/yomitan-dictionary-integrity.ts, src/main/runtime/yomitan-dictionary-integrity.test.ts
Dictionary observations persist integrity state and block unsafe mutations. First-run setup records unsafe observations and logs errors.

Linux window appearance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Linux rounded-corner options
src/core/services/overlay-window-options.ts, src/core/services/overlay-window-config.test.ts, src/core/services/stats-window-runtime.ts, src/core/services/stats-window.test.ts
Linux overlay and stats windows set roundedCorners to false, with test assertions for the resulting options.

Test execution updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cover-art test timeouts
src/core/services/anilist/cover-art-fetcher.test.ts
Cover-art tests use named asynchronous helpers and explicit 15-second timeouts.

89-99: 🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Skip the durable write when the count is unchanged.

writeTextFileAtomicallyDurable performs an fsync on the file and an fsync on the directory. src/main.ts line 2539 calls this check on every Yomitan dictionary-info fetch in the character dictionary auto-sync path, so an unchanged count still forces two synchronous flushes.

♻️ Proposed change
-  if (normalizedCount > 0) {
+  if (normalizedCount > 0 && state?.lastKnownNonEmptyCount !== normalizedCount) {
     try {
       writeState(statePath, { lastKnownNonEmptyCount: normalizedCount });

Inline comments:
In `@src/main-entry-runtime.ts`:
- Around line 269-275: Update configureEarlyAppPaths so development-profile
detection examines only arguments before the --launch-mpv separator, while
preserving the production-profile environment override and existing
--dev/--debug checks within that subset.

In `@src/main-entry.ts`:
- Around line 196-201: Update the single-instance-lock flow in startMainProcess
so ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 honors the existing
shouldBypassSingleInstanceLockForArgv behavior even when
shouldHandleStatsDaemonCommandAtEntry returns false. Align the entry predicates
or skip requestSingleInstanceLockEarly for this bypass case, while preserving
the current lock handling for normal launches.

In `@src/main/electron-runtime-guard.ts`:
- Around line 129-145: Update the downgrade-blocking result in the branch
containing “Electron downgrade blocked” to include the safety record location
from statePath in the details message, so users can identify the record
preventing startup; preserve the existing downgrade checks and other message
content.

Apply the same fix in `@src/main/runtime/yomitan-dictionary-integrity.ts` around
lines 20 - 34: The malformed-record error has the same missing-location
remediation.
