Electron Releases

• -[LAContext evaluateAccessControl:operation:localizedReason:reply:] raises NSInvalidArgumentException ("Non-empty localizedReason must be provided.") when given an empty reason, and AppKit's uncaught-exception handler then kills the browser process (-[NSApplication _crashOnException:] under device::fido::mac::TouchIdContext::PromptTouchId).
• The reason is IDS_WEBAUTHN_TOUCH_ID_PROMPT_REASON, which ResourceBundle returns as an empty string whenever no locale pak is loaded (e.g. the --lang=de-DE case fixed in #53184), so any navigator.credentials.create()/get() that needed user verification crashed instead of prompting.
• New Chromium patch: when the localized template is empty, fall back to an unlocalized verify your identity on <rp id> in both MakeCredentialOperation and GetAssertionOperation. The normal path is unchanged.
• Defense in depth alongside #53184, which fixes the locale loading itself. Apps on current releases can also mitigate with app.configureWebAuthn({ touchID: { promptReason: '…' } }), since string overrides are consulted before the missing-pak check.

Notes: Fixed a crash on macOS when a WebAuthn Touch ID prompt was requested while no locale resources were loaded.
