Incident analysis
Most likely causes
The packaged HTML references an absolute asset path that changed in the new build. 78%
A recent software, firmware or configuration change is exposing an existing compatibility issue. 30%
Summary
The reported behaviour is consistent with the packaged HTML references an absolute asset path that changed in the new build. The safest next step is to verify that hypothesis with a reversible test before making permanent configuration changes.
Suggested Fixes
Verify the likely cause
Inspect the packaged asar, use relative asset paths or a correct custom protocol and test the installer artifact before publishing.
Validate and monitor
Reproduce the issue once after the change, review relevant logs or metrics, and keep a rollback path until the system has remained stable.
