Chirag Chandrashekhar 8338f91487 fix: app crash on clicking close button (#7637)
* fix: app crash on clicking close button \n Added collection, workspace, and api spec watcher cleanup on app close method

* fix: close file watchers before app exit to prevent crash on macOS

Close all chokidar file watchers (collection, workspace, apiSpec) before
the Node environment is torn down. The native FSEvents watchers run on
their own threads and their cleanup races with FreeEnvironment, causing
an abort when fse_instance_destroy tries to lock a destroyed mutex.

Watchers are closed in both mainWindow.on('close') and app.on('before-quit')
to cover the native close button path and the app.exit() path.

* fix: move watcher cleanup from close handler to before-quit only

The close event is cancelable — if the user cancels the unsaved changes
dialog, watchers would remain closed for the rest of the session.
Move closeAllWatchers() to before-quit which only fires on actual quit.

Bruno is a new and innovative API client, aimed at revolutionizing the status quo represented by Postman and similar tools out there.

Bruno stores your collections directly in a folder on your filesystem. We use a plain text markup language, Bru, to save information about API requests.

You can use Git or any version control of your choice to collaborate over your API collections.

Bruno is offline-only. There are no plans to add cloud-sync to Bruno, ever. We value your data privacy and believe it should stay on your device. Read our long-term vision here
