Create a controller class extending ControllerModule with a static groupName, decorate methods with @IpcMethod(), and register it in the controllers registry. Then define matching TypeScript types in the electron-client-ipc package and expose a renderer service via ensureElectronIpc.

Use preload scripts with contextIsolation enabled to securely expose main process APIs to the renderer. The renderer calls typed service methods that route through IPC to controllers in the main process, which return structured success or error results.

Save the window bounds on the close event when the window is neither minimized nor maximized, then restore them with setBounds on creation. Store the state in a settings module and apply it when constructing the BrowserWindow.

Yes, menu labels can use an i18n module so app menus, context menus, and tray menus render translated strings. Use i18n.t() calls for each label and handle platform differences such as the macOS app menu with process.platform checks.

Disabling nodeIntegration and enabling contextIsolation prevents renderer code from directly accessing Node.js APIs, reducing the attack surface. Expose only the specific APIs the renderer needs through preload scripts instead.
