+# Dependabot keeps the bundled Chromium runtime patched.
+#
+# Input Viewer is an Electron app, so `electron` in input_viewer_electron/
+# ships a full Chromium runtime on the videowall PC. That host is patched by
+# win_updates + `winget upgrade` (labs-windows-mgmt), neither of which can see
+# a runtime bundled inside this app — so Chromium security fixes only reach the
+# videowall when Input Viewer is rebuilt with a newer Electron. Dependabot is
+# what now prompts that rebuild. See LABS-832.
