v0.1.1 — install UX + reconnect/auth polish

Install (Windows)

irm https://github.com/BrowyHQ/browy/releases/latest/download/install.ps1 | iex

Install (macOS / Linux — preview)

curl -fsSL https://github.com/BrowyHQ/browy/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash

What's new

  • 🎨 Toolbar icon redrawn as faithful pixel-mascot port (white CRT eyes, green grin, ear knobs, corner bolts, power LED)
  • 🔌 Reconnect banner with (n/5) counter and exponential backoff. After 5 failures, a one-click Reinstall host → CTA replaces the silent page reload
  • 🔐 Sign-in CTA: auth errors now show a green Sign in to GitHub Copilot button (instead of plain text). Click → opens a terminal with the Copilot CLI device flow
  • 🪟 New chat button is now always clickable (was incorrectly gated on backend readiness)
  • 📁 Installer copies the extension to ~/Downloads/Browy-Extension so Load unpacked is one click away
  • 🛡️ SECURITY.md now points at GitHub's private vulnerability reporting

Fixed

  • New chat and Chats buttons could appear stuck-disabled if __host_ready was missed during a fast service-worker restart — added a safety net on session.ready

Known limitations

  • macOS / Linux installers are scaffolded but only smoke-tested
  • No code signing yet (Defender SmartScreen will warn — More info → Run anyway)
  • Chrome Web Store submission pending
