Preserve the global scope of these declarations.

Adding top-level imports makes this declaration file an external module. The existing interface Window, declare namespace NodeJS, and supporting interfaces then become module-local instead of augmenting global types. Renderer code therefore loses this file's global Window.electronAPI declaration.

Use inline import("...").Type references without top-level imports, or move the ambient declarations into declare global. Removing only the duplicate import does not fix this scope change.

Review comment at @electron/electron-env.d.ts around lines 2 - 6:
Preserve the global scope of the declarations in electron-env.d.ts by removing the top-level imports and using inline import type references for StorageFolderId, StorageFolderMutationResponse, and StorageFoldersResponse where needed. Alternatively, wrap the ambient declarations, including Window and NodeJS, in declare global so Window.electronAPI remains globally available.

Remove the second storage-type import.

This block redeclares all three identifiers imported on Lines 2-6. The supplied Biome diagnostics report each duplicate binding. The supplied dependency inspection also found no matching exports in ./ipc/types.

Keep the shared type definitions as the single source. Remove this duplicate block.

Load the Parakeet module after the test sets state.userData.

storageLocations.ts reads USER_DATA_PATH when it loads (appPaths.ts:32). The static import in parakeetModel.test.ts runs before beforeEach assigns the fixture root. During that import, the electron mock returns "". The captionModels fallback then becomes path.join("", "captions"), a working-directory-relative path (storageLocations.ts:70). modelDirectory() uses this path (parakeetModel.ts:46), so it no longer points at the captions directory the tests populate (parakeetModel.test.ts:39).

This can cause two failures:

  • The "reuses a ready model without network" test can start a download instead of reusing the fixture model. The zero-request assertion then fails.
  • Download and staging files can be written under the working directory instead of the mkdtemp directory that afterEach removes.

Load the module after each test sets its root. For example, call vi.resetModules() and await import("./parakeetModel") in beforeEach. Then USER_DATA_PATH is evaluated against the fixture root. Update the test to use the dynamically imported functions.

Review comment at @electron/ipc/captions/parakeetModel.ts at line 9:
Update the parakeetModel test setup so it loads the module only after beforeEach sets state.userData: reset the module cache, dynamically import parakeetModel, and use the imported functions in the tests. This ensures getCaptionModelsDir and modelDirectory resolve paths under the fixture root.

Mock storageLocations in the export-stream test. Importing appPaths throws under the current electron mock.

exportStream.ts now imports storageLocations.ts. That module imports appPaths.ts, which calls app.getPath("userData") at module load. The test's electron mock throws for any key except "temp". The test file therefore fails at import time, and the export-stream suite does not run. Mock the storage-locations module so the test does not load appPaths.ts.

Suggested fix 

 vi.mock("electron", () => ({
 	app: {
 		getPath: (key: string) => {
 			if (key === "temp") {
 				return TMP_ROOT;
 			}
 			throw new Error(`Unexpected app.getPath key: ${key}`);
 		},
 	},
 }));
+
+vi.mock("../../storageLocations", () => ({
+	getTempStorageDir: () => TMP_ROOT,
+}));

Review comment at @electron/ipc/export/exportStream.ts at line 5:
Mock the storageLocations module in the export-stream test so importing exportStream does not load appPaths or call app.getPath("userData"). Have the mock provide getTempStorageDir with the temporary directory expected by the test, while leaving the existing electron mock unchanged.

Match canonical file paths against canonical storage roots.

isAllowedLocalReadPath checks each canonical candidate against the lexical prefixes. Configured storage roots are saved as path.resolve output, and that output is never canonicalized. A selected folder that is a symlink therefore fails the canonical check. Files created there then fail the second check in the asset and export read paths, unless they are in the approved set.

Canonicalize the allowed prefixes as well, and keep the lexical roots so existing paths still match.

Update the allowed-prefix construction used by isAllowedLocalReadPath to include canonicalized forms of configured storage roots while retaining their lexical paths. This lets paths under symlinked storage folders match either root form; if a root cannot be canonicalized, keep its lexical form.

Resolve the wallpaper thumbnail cache directory per request.

The handler captures thumbCacheDir when handlers register. A later cache-location change updates getCacheDir, but wallpaper thumbnails still read and write the old folder until the app restarts. Project thumbnails already call getCacheDir at use time, so the two cache consumers behave differently.

Suggested fix 

 	const THUMB_SIZE = 96;
-	const thumbCacheDir = getCacheDir("wallpaper-thumbs");
 	let thumbGenerationQueue: Promise<void> = Promise.resolve();
 			const stat = await fs.stat(resolved);
+			const thumbCacheDir = getCacheDir("wallpaper-thumbs");
 			const cacheKey = createHash("sha256")
 				.update(`${resolved}:${stat.mtimeMs}`)
 				.digest("hex");

Review comment at @electron/ipc/register/assets.ts at line 33:
Resolve the wallpaper thumbnail cache directory at request time rather than when the handler is registered. Remove the captured `thumbCacheDir` in the registration scope and call `getCacheDir("wallpaper-thumbs")` within the thumbnail request flow before cache reads and writes, matching the project-thumbnail behavior.
