Description of Change

  • Fixes #53068. This issue was exposed due to the changes in #52217
    This fix prevents WebFrameMain from being created for a speculative or pending-commit RenderFrameHost. If no wrapper exists during a frame swap, Electron now initializes one from the current active frame and updates it when the swap completes.

Also, added a regression test for the fixed issue.

Checklist

Release Notes

Notes: Fixed a crash when accessing frame details during cross-origin navigation.
