What changed in root

Version 0.1.5 is now available in the Chrome Web Store. It is a local-only Chrome release focused on Inbox rhythm, Quick Capture confidence, Open Tasks polish, and safer local import/export, with no new permission scope added.

• Published as a Chrome Web Store update while keeping the package scoped to activeTab only.
• Made Inbox read newest-first with calmer spacing and safer click-to-edit behavior.
• Improved Quick Capture feedback so local captures feel clearer.
• Kept Inbox checklist lines visible in Open Tasks while keeping system rows quieter.
• Polished Clean View, local import/export, and editing reliability.

A local-only Chrome polish release for working text, Open Tasks, Clean View, Quick Capture, and Context Handoff, with no new permission scope added.

• Kept the package scoped to activeTab only.
• Improved Open Tasks with sorting, blank-task filtering, priority flags, and source-line highlighting.
• Added cleaner Context Handoff wording and prompt insertion from saved Snippets.
• Polished Quick Capture destination guidance, pinned markers, starter snippets, and Clean View search highlights.

This update makes root feel calmer and safer to use day to day, especially around backup confidence and the first-use loop.

• Added a quieter Last backup control in the top bar.
• Added Workspace health for item counts, open tasks, snippets, trash, and approximate local storage visibility.
• Grouped export and import into one calmer backup and restore menu.
• Simplified the starter workspace so the first-use loop is easier to understand.
• Polished the workspace layout, divider, footer controls, and bottom action bars.

We also tightened the public support story so first-time users can understand what root does, what stays local, and how to back it up.

• Added a Security & Permissions page.
• Reworked the FAQ and Support pages for faster scanning and clearer backup guidance.
• Added clearer Chrome setup instructions, including new-tab choice and extension install guidance.
• Added install guidance around Chrome’s new-tab choice and Enhanced Safe Browsing caution prompts.

The first public Chrome Web Store beta established the core root loop: capture, shape, reuse, and hand off only what matters.

• New-tab workspace for working text.
• Quick Capture popup for Inbox and pinned items.
• Open Tasks, Snippets, tags, pinning, Archive, and Trash.
• Context Handoff with preview, metadata control, scoped packets, and prompt insertion from Snippets.
• Import and export support for visible local files.
