Greptile Summary

This PR restores two standard Electron menu roles — reload and forceReload — to the View submenu in src/main/app/menu.ts. The additions follow the canonical Electron View menu layout (Reload → Force Reload → Toggle Dev Tools → separator → zoom controls → separator → fullscreen), so no structural changes are required.

• Added { role: 'reload' as const } and { role: 'forceReload' as const } above toggleDevTools in the View submenu.
• The keyboard shortcuts (Cmd/Ctrl+R and Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+R) and labels are provided automatically by Electron's role system, consistent with how all other roles in this menu are configured.
• No separator is added between the reload entries and toggleDevTools, which is intentional and matches Electron's own default View menu template.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge — it adds two standard Electron menu roles with no custom logic or edge cases.
• The two-line change mirrors Electron's own default View menu template exactly. Both reload and forceReload are well-defined built-in roles with no custom logic. The placement, ordering, and absence of a separator before toggleDevTools all match the canonical Electron pattern. No regressions are introduced.
• No files require special attention.
