Electron Architecture

• Main Process: Node.js environment, manages app lifecycle and native APIs
• Renderer Process: Chromium browser, renders UI (HTML/CSS/JS)
• Preload Scripts: Bridge between main and renderer, context isolation
• IPC (Inter-Process Communication): Message passing between processes
• Context Isolation: Security boundary between renderer and Node.js
• Native Modules: Node.js addons for system-level access
