Changes since last release

From CHANGELOG.md, 2026-09-10:

Launcher: five dead Chromium arguments removed, and the titlebar decision left to the app

strings on the bundled Electron 44.2.0 says the launcher had been passing five things it no longer
knows: the CustomTitlebar and WaylandWindowDecorations and UseOzonePlatform feature names, the
--enable-transparent-visuals switch, and the ELECTRON_USE_SYSTEM_TITLE_BAR variable. Chromium ignores
what it does not recognise, so none of them did anything, but their comments claimed they were
load-bearing and one of them justified a whole config read.

• All five are gone. What actually opens the native window is frame:true in
  patches/linux/fix_native_frame.nim, decided app-side, and a Wayland launch now carries
  --enable-features=GlobalShortcutsPortal alone. Verified on KDE Plasma 6 Wayland: native titlebar
  mode from the saved switch produces the same real Breeze titlebar with the flags as without them.
• The launcher no longer reads the titlebar config at all to decide anything. Its only reason to was
  to derive those dead arguments, while js/window_controls_pref.js reads the same keys itself from the
  userData dir the app is actually using. Dropping it removes the documented third-party limitation:
  a 3p deployment relocates userData to <userData>-3p, which the launcher never looked at, so a saved
  switch is now honoured there like anywhere else.
• The config is still read for --diagnose, and that read had a bug of its own: it took the first of
  claude-desktop-extra.jsonc / .json that merely EXISTED and stopped. The .jsonc ships as a
  commented template, so its presence hid every switch the Extra panel had written to .json. Both
  files are now merged per key, .jsonc winning for keys it defines, which is what the app does and
  what the template's own header documents. This only ever affected the launcher's log line, never the
  window.
• --diagnose now reports which config files it read, the stored value of each switch, and whether an
  environment variable is overriding it - including an explicit =0, which is an override in its own
  right and used to be reported as "no override set".
