Research direction
Investigate the app's handling of system sleep and wake events using Electron's power monitor module. Check if the timer continues running during sleep. Look into the force quit issue: the app might be stuck in a state where it cannot be terminated normally. Consider adding a listener for 'suspend' and 'resume' events to pause/resume timers. Also examine the app's close/quit handlers to ensure they work after wake. Refer to electron's documentation on power monitor (https://www.electronjs.org/docs/latest/api/power monitor). Start by inspecting the main process code in src/ directory, particularly the timer module.
