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)}
