Problem: main-v2 advanced again while the updater conflict resolution was under verification, leaving the branch behind the current base.
Root cause: PR #7222 merged an npm alias propagation fix after the first integration merge was prepared.
Fix: Merge the new base commit without altering the resolved Desktop updater semantics.
Verification: node --test scripts/finalize-npm-official-release.test.mjs; bash scripts/release-workflows.test.sh; git diff --cached --check.
