Provides a structured guide to expose Electron main-process functionality to the frontend via a secure, typed IPC bridge, enabling clean frontend-to-main communication in Wave Terminal.
Add a new Electron API by implementing the interface in frontend/types/custom.d.ts, wiring it in preload.ts, creating the IPC handler, and updating the preview stub.

You expose an Electron API by defining TypeScript interfaces, wiring the preload bridge, creating IPC handlers in the main process, and adding a no-op preview stub for safe frontend access.
Electron IPC supports synchronous, asynchronous, and fire-and-forget communication patterns, each requiring explicit handlers and strict channel naming to ensure secure frontend-to-main data flow.
Adding a typed IPC channel requires defining the API surface in a TypeScript declaration file, exposing it through the preload script's context bridge, and implementing strict channel naming with error handling.
Yes, TypeScript interfaces are required to define a stable Electron API surface, ensuring type safety across the frontend, preload exposure, and main process IPC handlers.
The best way to structure a secure Electron IPC bridge involves guided integration: defining typed interfaces, wiring preload exposure, creating explicit handlers, and enforcing strict channel naming with error handling.
An Electron preload API is inaccessible if the TypeScript interface is undefined, the context bridge is not wired, or the preview stub is missing, requiring strict channel naming and proper error handling to resolve.
