4grayandClaude Opus 4.7 177148ad5d perf(electron): defer fixPath() off the synchronous startup path
fixPath() was called as the very first statement at module load
(top-level, before app.setName, before app.whenReady), which on
macOS/Linux spawns an interactive login shell — bash/zsh -ilc 'env' —
and waits SYNCHRONOUSLY for it to print the environment back. With
oh-my-zsh / heavy .bashrc setups this is routinely 50-300ms blocking
the Electron main process before window creation can even begin.

The only purpose of fixPath in this app is to populate process.env.PATH
so that subsequently-spawned external player binaries (MPV/VLC) can be
resolved by bare name. That's a user-action path (clicking play with
external player configured), not a startup-critical one. Two callers
exist (player.events.ts) and both fall back to bare 'mpv' / 'vlc' only
after checking well-known absolute paths.

Move the call into a setImmediate scheduled at the END of
bootstrapAppEvents — after DB init, IPC handler registration, and
window load. The user-visible startup sequence no longer carries the
shell-spawn cost. By the time anyone could plausibly click an external
player, PATH is already hydrated.

Idempotent + Windows-gated (fix-path is a no-op on Windows anyway).
