- * Electron loads renderer HTML via `win.loadFile()` which uses the `file://`

- * (e.g. `file:///C:/foo.js` on Windows) instead of relative to the app bundle.
+ * Packaged Electron windows load renderer HTML via the privileged `oc://`
+ * protocol. Root-relative asset paths like `src="/foo.js"` would resolve from
+ * the protocol origin root instead of relative to the current HTML entrypoint.
  *
  * All local resource references must use relative paths (`./`).
