v0.5.0

v0.5.0 - 2026-05-06

Cross-platform native host release. This version extends the native installer, runtime paths, and release packaging beyond the original macOS-only preview while preserving the v0.4 user workflow and release safeguards.

Added

• Windows Native Messaging host installation through install.ps1, including user-level Chrome registry registration and .cmd bridge launch support.
• Linux Chrome and Chromium Native Messaging host manifest paths under the user's config directory.
• Release artifacts for the v0.5.0 extension package, native host runtime, macOS / Linux installer, Windows PowerShell installer, uninstaller, checksums, and release manifest.
• Cross-platform CI coverage for macOS, Ubuntu, and Windows, with release publishing gated by the test matrix.

Changed

• Bumped package and extension metadata to 0.5.0.
• Updated install, update, release artifact, and uninstall documentation for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
• Replaced macOS-only platform requirements with macOS / Windows / Linux support guidance.

Notes

• Release publishing remains tag-based and uploads artifacts from a single release job after the matrix passes.
• Chrome still requires manual unpacked-extension approval after the native host installer finishes.
