PR 1630 replaces Electron's user data path with shared helpers used by the Cue database and pipeline layout store, plus a ratchet test that lists the remaining Electron imports in Cue so future removals are visible. Stacked on that, PR 1650 tackles the SQLite library for the standalone…
Second, no more silent wrong-machine runs. PR 1649 fixes SSH handling where deleting or disabling a remote caused agents and shell commands to run locally with the remote working directory still attached. Now that case fails with a clear error. In the same spirit, commit 82a4104 fixes the Install Update C L I path…
