Research direction
Start with the linked CI run and inspect the native audit tree for the electron dependency and its react-devtools dependent. Check how Electron 23.3.0 is declared and whether the project can move beyond the vulnerable versions below 38.8.6. Done means the advisory is no longer reported on pushes to main, or the remaining limitation is documented.
