[AbhiPrasad]

Documents getsentry/sentry-electron#1234

DESCRIBE YOUR PR

This PR documents the ipcNamespace option for the Sentry Electron SDK. This option allows users to specify a custom namespace for Sentry's IPC channels, preventing potential conflicts in applications that use multiple IPC channels.

The documentation has been added to:

• The main Electron guide (docs/platforms/javascript/guides/electron/index.mdx) with a new "Custom IPC Namespace" subsection.
• The common configuration options page (docs/platforms/javascript/common/configuration/options.mdx) with a detailed SdkOption entry.

IS YOUR CHANGE URGENT?

• Urgent deadline (GA date, etc.):
• Other deadline:
• None: Not urgent, can wait up to 1 week+

SLA

• Teamwork makes the dream work, so please add a reviewer to your PRs.
• Please give the docs team up to 1 week to review your PR unless you've added an urgent due date to it.
  Thanks in advance for your help!

LEGAL BOILERPLATE

Look, I get it. The entity doing business as "Sentry" was incorporated in the State of Delaware in 2015 as Functional Software, Inc. and is gonna need some rights from me in order to utilize my contributions in this here PR. So here's the deal: I retain all rights, title and interest in and to my contributions, and by keeping this boilerplate intact I confirm that Sentry can use, modify, copy, and redistribute my contributions, under Sentry's choice of terms.
