undergroundwires efa05f42bc Improve security by isolating code execution more
This commit enhances application security against potential attacks by
isolating dependencies that access the host system (like file
operations) from the renderer process. It narrows the exposed
functionality to script execution only, adding an extra security layer.

The changes allow secure and scalable API exposure, preparing for future
functionalities such as desktop notifications for script errors (#264),
improved script execution handling (#296), and creating restore points
(#50) in a secure and repeatable way.

Changes include:

- Inject `CodeRunner` into Vue components via dependency injection.
- Move `CodeRunner` to the application layer as an abstraction for
  better domain-driven design alignment.
- Refactor `SystemOperations` and related interfaces, removing the `I`
  prefix.
- Update architecture documentation for clarity.
- Update return types in `NodeSystemOperations` to match the Node APIs.
- Improve `WindowVariablesProvider` integration tests for better error
  context.
- Centralize type checks with common functions like `isArray` and
  `isNumber`.
- Change `CodeRunner` to use `os` parameter, ensuring correct window
  variable injection.
- Streamline API exposure to the renderer process:
  - Automatically bind function contexts to prevent loss of original
    context.
  - Implement a way to create facades (wrapper/proxy objects) for
    increased security.

check-desktop-runtime-errors

This script automates the processes of:

  1. Building
  2. Packaging
  3. Installing
  4. Executing
  5. Verifying Electron distributions

It runs the application for a duration and detects runtime errors in the packaged application via:

  • Log verification: Checking application logs for errors and validating successful application initialization.
  • stderr monitoring: Continuous listening to the stderr stream for unexpected errors.
  • Window title inspection: Checking for window titles that indicate crashes before logging becomes possible.

Upon error, the script captures a screenshot (if --screenshot is provided) and terminates.

Options

  • --build: Clears the electron distribution directory and forces a rebuild of the Electron app.
  • --screenshot: Takes a screenshot of the desktop environment after running the application.

This module provides utilities for building, executing, and validating Electron desktop apps. It can be used to automate checking for runtime errors during development.

Configs

Configurations are defined in config.ts.
