Hi @imxade ,

Updated safe dependencies and verified that the app works correctly.
Attempted upgrading to Vite 8, but found compatibility issues with @vitejs/plugin-react and @tanstack/devtools-vite, so kept Vite at v7 to avoid breaking changes.
Also fixed a cross-platform issue in the electron-dev script using cross-env.
Tested:

• npm run dev
• npm run build
• npm run electron-dev
  Everything works as expected. Please let me know if any further changes are needed.
