Pull request overview
This PR fixes a listener leak in the Electron main-process LifecycleMainService during the onBeforeUnload handshake with the renderer by ensuring both IPC listeners are always removed when either the “ok” or “cancel” reply arrives.
Changes:
- Replaces two independent
validatedIpcMain.once(...)registrations with removablevalidatedIpcMain.on(...)listeners. - Adds a shared
cleanupfunction that removes both listeners and resolves the veto promise from either branch.

Fixes a memory leak in lifeCycleMainService.
Details
It seems the way the event listener is setup, when an okChannel event is received, the listener for the cancelChannel is not removed and vice versa.
Change
The change tries to ensure that always both listeners are removed when either a okChannel event or a cancelChannel event is received.
