Research direction
Investigate why adding a console.log statement to the main Electron file (index.js) causes the app window to close. The issue may be related to stdio handling during restarts. Check if the reloader spawns the main process with some stdio configuration that breaks when logging occurs. Look at the linked PR #1 which suggests preserving stdio on default app restart.
