New --status-item CLI flag creates a macOS menu bar status item with an NSPopover containing a WKWebView, instead of an NSWindow. Adds title and resize protocol commands, click event, and GlimpseStatusItem Node wrapper. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Two community contributions ship in this release: - Menu bar mode by @vtemian (#5): statusItem() API creates a menu bar icon with a popover WebView, including setTitle() and resize() methods. - Open links externally by @joemccann (#6): openLinks/openLinksApp options let clicked links escape the WebView to the system browser or a specific app. Also adds GLIMPSE_BINARY_PATH env var override. Folds the previous Unreleased section into the 0.4.0 changelog entry.

Adds a menu bar mode to Glimpse.
statusItem()creates an icon in the macOS status bar that opens a popover with a WKWebView on click. Same protocol, same bridge, just no window.glimpse-status-item.mp4
The popover auto-closes when clicking outside (
.transientbehavior).setTitle()updates the menu bar text dynamically,resize()changes the popover dimensions, and a click event fires when the user clicks the icon.Swift side:
--status-itemflag,NSStatusItem+NSPopoverwith a minimalNSViewControllerhosting the WebView. Runs as.accessory(no dock icon). Window-only features likefollow-cursorare ignored.Existing
open()andprompt()unchanged. Integration test included.
