### Electron Version
43.0.0
### What operating system(s) are you using?
macOS
### Operating System Version
macOS Tahoe 26.5.2
### What arch are you using?
arm64 (including Apple Silicon)
### Last Known Working Electron version
_No response_
### Does the issue also appear in Chromium / Google Chrome?
I don't know how to test
### Expected Behavior
An active Manifest V3 extension service worker that has registered a `chrome.storage.onChanged` listener should receive storage change events.
This should work regardless of whether the change originates from:
- an extension page
- an extension popup
- a content script
- the service worker itself
The behavior should match extension pages, popups, and content scripts, which receive these events correctly.
### Actual Behavior
In Electron 43.0.0, an active Manifest V3 service worker does not receive any `chrome.storage.onChanged` events.
I've tested these contexts:
| Receiver | Page write | Popup write | Content-script write | Service-worker write |
|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
| Extension page | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Popup | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| Content script | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| MV3 service worker | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
The writes all completed successfully. The other contexts each received exactly one event from every sender, while the service worker received none, including for its own write.
