ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — The Electron major upgrade changes production clipboard flows and unconditionally raises the macOS support floor to Ventura across packaged apps and updater feeds. That changes product defaults and customer update eligibility, so the release behavior merits human review. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |

One convention issue found in the Electron 44 clipboard migration: the new async clipboard.writeText failure in ElectronShell.copyText is left as an untyped defect, unlike PreviewManager.copyArtifactToClipboard, which correctly routes the equivalent async write through attemptPromise/PreviewOperationError.
Posted via Macroscope — Effect Service Conventions
Electron 44 makes the clipboard module asynchronous, removes clipboard.writeImage, and requires macOS 13 or newer. Text copies now await clipboard.writeText and report a refused write as false, the same shape as openExternal, so the Copy Link menu item cannot leave an unhandled rejection. Screenshot copies write a PNG ClipboardItem and keep write failures in the typed PreviewOperationError path. 44.1.1 clears the release-age policy on its own, so the exact-version exclusion is gone. Verified on the rebased branch: desktop typecheck, the three touched desktop test files, lint and formatting, a desktop and server production build, and an Electron 44.1.1 launch under xvfb that reached main window created and backend ready.

Electron 44 cannot launch on macOS 12, but electron-builder only writes a minimum system version into Info.plist, never into latest-mac.yml. Without it, electron-updater on Monterey would install a build that refuses to open. The desktop artifact build now sets mac.minimumSystemVersion to 13.0 and stamps minimumSystemVersion: '22.0.0' into every <channel>-mac.yml it emits. electron-updater compares that field against os.release(), which is the Darwin kernel version (Ventura is Darwin 22), so the manifest carries the Darwin form while the plist keeps the product version. The manifest merge step already carries the key through. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Electron 44 makes its clipboard API asynchronous, removes
clipboard.writeImage, and requires macOS 13 or newer. Main still ships 43.4.1.This bumps Electron to 44.1.1, the current
latest. Text copies awaitclipboard.writeTextand report a refused write asfalse, the same shape asopenExternal, so the Copy Link menu item cannot leave an unhandled rejection. Screenshot copies write a PNGClipboardItemand keep failures in the typedPreviewOperationErrorpath. 44.1.1 clears the release-age policy on its own, so no exclusion entry is needed.Because the app cannot launch on macOS 12, the desktop artifact build now sets
mac.minimumSystemVersionand stampsminimumSystemVersion: '22.0.0'(Darwin 22, which is Ventura) into every mac updater manifest.electron-updatercompares that key againstos.release(), the Darwin kernel version, and skips the update on Monterey instead of installing an app that refuses to open. The install guide and release runbook mention the floor.Every other Electron 44 breaking change was checked against the desktop code and none applies: no renderer clipboard use, no 32-bit targets, no login-item options, no
select-client-certificatelistener, nonet.requestdocument fetches.Checks on the rebased branch:
T3CODE_HOME: app ready, main window created, backend ready, no errorsNot covered here: preview browser recording and hidden-thread restore on a real macOS or Linux display under Chromium 152. That needs a manual pass before the next stable.

Electron major bump plus async clipboard and a changed
ElectronShell.copyTextreturn type affect desktop shell and preview artifact flows; macOS users below Ventura are excluded from installs/updates.Overview
Upgrades the desktop app to Electron 44.1.1, which drops macOS 12 support and makes clipboard APIs asynchronous (including removal of
clipboard.writeImage).Clipboard behavior is updated to match Electron 44:
ElectronShell.copyTextnow awaitsclipboard.writeTextand returnstrue/falseinstead ofvoid, mirroringopenExternalso refused writes do not surface as unhandled rejections. Preview screenshot copy moves fromwriteImageto asyncclipboard.writewith a PNGClipboardItem/Blob, with write failures still reported asPreviewOperationError.macOS floor is enforced in packaging: electron-builder gets
mac.minimumSystemVersion: '13.0', and mac channel updater YAML (*-mac.yml) is stamped withminimumSystemVersion: '22.0.0'(Darwin 22 / Ventura) soelectron-updaterskips updates on older systems. Install and release docs note the Ventura requirement.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 8698889. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.

copyTextconverts every rejected clipboard write intofalse, but the only production caller discards the resolved value (void runPromise(electronShell.copyText(...))inDesktopWindow). Consequently, when the asynchronous clipboard write is refused, the Copy Link command completes with no clipboard update and no user-visible error or retry; the new status result is never acted on.

isMacUpdateManifestNameonly matches<channel>-mac.yml, so it excludes the x64 updater feed emitted aslatest-mac-x64.yml(and the analogous nightly feed). The artifact-copy loop consequently leaves that manifest unstamped; an Intel Monterey client can receive an Electron 44 update that requires macOS 13 and then install an app that cannot launch.
