chore(deps-dev): bump electron from 33.4.11 to 42.0.1

[dependabot]

Bumps electron from 33.4.11 to 42.0.1.

Release notes

Sourced from electron's releases.

electron v42.0.1

Release Notes for v42.0.1

Fixes

• Fixed DesktopCapturer crash on macOS. #51506
• Fixed ELECTRON_INSTALL_PLATFORM being ignored when resolving the Electron executable path during postinstall, which caused path.txt to be written for the host platform instead of the requested target and made isInstalled() always re-download on subsequent installs. #51370
• Fixed app.getLoginItemSettings() returning undefined for executableWillLaunchAtLogin on macOS; the property is now always a boolean. #51507 (Also in 40, 41)
• Fixed a potential race condition crash when closing DevTools. #51473 (Also in 41)

Other Changes

• Updated Chromium to 148.0.7778.97. #51517

Breaking Changes

Behavior Changed: macOS notifications now use UNNotification API

Electron has migrated from the deprecated NSUserNotification API to the UNNotification API on macOS. The new API requires that an application be code-signed in order for notifications to be displayed. If an application is not code-signed, notifications will emit a failed event on the Notification object. #47817

Behavior Changed: electron no longer downloads itself via postinstall script

Previously, the electron npm package would download the Electron binary from the repository's GitHub Releases in the package's postinstall script. With recent supply chain security attacks against the npm ecosystem with postinstall scripts as a common attack vector, Electron will now download itself dynamically the first time that its main bin script is run (e.g. via npx electron). See [RFC #22](electron/rfcs#22) for more context. #49328

Behavior Changed: Offscreen rendering default device scale factor

Previously, OSR used the primary display's device scale factor for rendering. Starting from Electron 42, the default changes to a constant value of 1.0 for more consistent output sizes. Use webPreferences.offscreen.deviceScaleFactor to specify a custom value. #49683

Removed: quotas object from Session.clearStorageData(options)

When calling Session.clearStorageData(options), the options.quotas object is no longer supported because it has been removed from upstream Chromium.

Removed: ELECTRON_SKIP_BINARY_DOWNLOAD environment variable

This environment variable is no longer supported due to the new lazy download behavior. #50459
