+ * ESLint Rule: no-electron-security-issues
+ * Detects Electron security vulnerabilities (CWE-16)
+ *
+ * Electron applications can be vulnerable to security issues when not properly
+ * configured. This rule detects insecure Electron configurations and patterns
+ * that could allow privilege escalation, code execution, or data leakage.
+ *
+ * False Positive Reduction:
+ * This rule uses security utilities to reduce false positives by detecting:
+ * - Safe Electron configurations
+ * - Development vs production environments
+ * - JSDoc annotations (@electron-safe, @dev-only)
+ * - Trusted Electron security patterns
