Note

Medium Risk
Updates the desktop runtime only, but 43.8.1 changes certificate verification and window/session behavior, so desktop builds merit a quick smoke test despite no app code diffs.

Overview
Bumps the devDependency electron from 43.7.1 to 43.8.1 in package.json and refreshes the matching entry in package-lock.json. There are no application or build-script changes—only the pinned Electron version used for local development and desktop packaging.

The target release includes a security-related certificate mitigation (GHSA-jr5w-w6x2-84p9) plus upstream fixes around TLS verification, link-opened windows inheriting opener session/webPreferences, and assorted stability fixes from 43.8.0.
