post-init failed due to a audit-dep warning as per https://ci.brave.com/job/pr-brave-browser-search-sw-1.23.x-post-init/1/execution/node/145/log/. However, this is a known issue and not related to this specific PR.

Going to restart both macOS & Linux just in case as there were some test-browser failures that I haven't seen before. Specifically the Gemini. Most likely unrelated though.

macOS failed the last time but we should be good as the original test failures that I saw via https://ci.brave.com/job/pr-brave-browser-search-sw-1.23.x-macos/1/execution/node/242/log/ & https://ci.brave.com/job/pr-brave-browser-search-sw-1.23.x-macos/1/execution/node/245/log/ didn't happen the second time around via https://ci.brave.com/job/pr-brave-browser-search-sw-1.23.x-macos/2/execution/node/245/log/ & https://ci.brave.com/job/pr-brave-browser-search-sw-1.23.x-macos/2/execution/node/248/log/. The ones that failed the second time around I've seen before so they're definitely intermittent and unrelated to this specific PR.
