@dependabot rebase

[jaundre-van-staden]

Reverted in #19. After this merge, main failed three consecutive runs (38981391050 and reruns) at scripts/test-workspace-ui.py tab rename: .tab-rename-input absent or removed before the script types into it. Never seen on Electron 43 across eleven main runs that day; passes locally under Electron 44 on a quiet host (full UI qualification 10/10, four repeats), so it is load dependent. The rename field saves on blur, so something steals focus from it on slow runners. Electron 44 will be retried once the mechanism is understood and fixed on a branch.
