Summary

Fixes the TypeError: Object has been destroyed crash that occurs when
the app auto-updates. The error happens because IPC broadcasts try to
send to a WebContents that was destroyed during the update/restart.

Adds broadcastToWindows() helper with double-check (win.isDestroyed()

  • win.webContents.isDestroyed()) and try/catch to handle the race
    condition. Applied to all 6 broadcast patterns in main process.

Test plan

  • pnpm typecheck — 17/17 pass

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Add broadcastToWindows() helper that checks both win.isDestroyed()
and win.webContents.isDestroyed() with try/catch to handle the race
condition where a window is destroyed between the check and send.

Applied to all IPC broadcast patterns:
- Auto-updater events (available, progress, complete, error)
- Theme system change notification
- Sync status change
- Plugin reload
- Settings sync (also added webContents.isDestroyed check)
