Problem

bitwarden-desktop 2026.5.0 requires electron 39, which is EOL. Rather than allow the insecure electron via permittedInsecurePackages, the package was removed from home-modules/desktop/default.nix.

Upstream

[PM-34331] Update electron to 41 — bitwarden/clients#20448 — open; bitwarden is skipping electron 40

Current remediation

home-modules/desktop/default.nix:37 — bitwarden-desktop is commented out. Use the browser extension or web vault in the meantime.

Re-add the package once bitwarden-desktop ships a release built against electron 41+ and lands in nixpkgs.
