Summary

Added ELECTRON_DEBUG_DRAGGABLE_REGIONS env var to visualize and log draggable regions for debugging custom title bars.
Fixed a wide range of stability and UI regressions (tray icons in Flatpak/Snap, GPU info stalls, permission handler origins, webContents listener errors, crashes on Linux/Windows, DevTools shortcuts, window state persistence, etc.).
Improved security of permission handling: scoped File System Access requests, correct origin reporting for HID/USB, pointerLock/keyboardLock reporting, openExternal attribution, and validation of internal IPC messages.
