Upgrade Electron to 41.7.1

[tiensonqin]

Summary

• Upgrade Electron from 38.4.0 to 41.7.1, the newest Electron line verified to package successfully with the app native dependencies.
• Update Electron packaging dependencies: better-sqlite3 to 12.10.0 and node-abi resolution to 4.31.0.
• Regenerate root and static Yarn lockfiles for the updated Electron packaging dependency graph.

Why not Electron 42.3.0

Electron 42.3.0 resolves with node-abi 4.31.0, but better-sqlite3 12.10.0 still fails to compile against Electron 42 V8 headers with ExternalPointerTypeTag-related native addon errors. Electron 41.7.1 is the newest release verified to rebuild better-sqlite3 and complete packaging.

Validation

• node-abi lookup for Electron 41.7.1 returns ABI 145
• yarn install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts --non-interactive
• cd static && yarn install --frozen-lockfile --ignore-scripts --non-interactive
• cd static && yarn electron-rebuild -v 41.7.1 -f -w better-sqlite3
• git diff --check
• yarn release-electron
• Launched packaged app from static/out/Logseq-OG-darwin-arm64/Logseq-OG.app and added two blocks in a temporary graph with Playwright

Artifacts

• static/out/make/Logseq-OG.dmg
• static/out/make/zip/darwin/arm64/Logseq-OG-darwin-arm64-1.0.0.zip

• The current resolutions include wrap-ansi/strip-ansi pins that can force versions that do not satisfy downstream semver ranges after the Electron upgrade (static/yarn.lock shows wrap-ansi@^8.x and strip-ansi@^7.x being resolved to older majors). This can lead to runtime failures in CLI deps (e.g., @isaacs/cliui). Consider updating these resolutions to compatible majors, or pinning the dependent packages to versions that match the forced majors, so installs don’t rely on incompatible overrides.
