CofreTabs v1.1.0 — Favorites, custom folders, themes

CofreTabs v1.1.0 — Release Notes

Release date: 2026-10-25
Package: CofreTabs-v1.1.0.zip → CofreTabs-v1.1.0/ (load unpacked)
Manifest: v3, Chrome 102+, local-only. No build step, no server, no accounts.

This release completes the roadmap announced with v1.0.0: folder navigation and
management, Favorites, appearance, and an in-app update notice — with the core
local-only, privacy-first architecture unchanged.

Highlights

Favorite tabs

• Toggle a heart on any tab (library list, library card, or panel expanded view).
• Favorites appear in a virtual Favorites collection in the panel folder list
  and in the library — moving, renaming, or deleting folders never touches it.
• Non-destructive by design: favoriting only sets a favorite flag on the tab
  record; the bookmark is never duplicated.

Folder management

• Create new folders from a + button in the library sidebar.
• Rename and delete folders from the sidebar row menu.
• Deleting a folder moves its tabs to Trash (recoverable) — never a data loss.
• The built-in Favorites folder cannot be renamed or deleted.

Move tabs between folders

• From the library list and library cards: a Move to… menu on each tab.
• From the panel: a Move to… action on each expanded tab.
• Moving preserves the original page title and favicon.

Folder navigation in the panel

• 3×3 paginated folder grid (9 folders per page, one-row paging, clamped final page).
• Up button navigates back from folders-in-folders; ESC closes the panel.
• Clicking outside the panel closes it; clicks inside (folders, links, nav) do not.

Light / dark theme

• System-aware default (respects OS preference), plus an explicit Light /
  Dark option in library settings.
• Applied consistently across the panel and the library.

Update notice

• CofreTabs checks the GitHub Releases feed for a newer version (at most once
  every 12 hours, with an 8-second timeout).
• A dismissible banner links to the release page — nothing is downloaded or
  installed automatically.

Backup / restore

• Backups now round-trip Favorites and folder names (favorite flag and folder
  type are stored additively; existing v1 backups restore unchanged).
• Backup filename is generated from the manifest version.

Branding & documentation

• MADWOLFSTUDIOS branding across the library, library footer, and privacy page.
• The GitHub profile link was removed from the library footer (it remains on the
  privacy page as the functional issue-tracker contact).
• README, CHANGELOG, and privacy documentation updated for all new features.

Upgrade instructions (unpacked extension)

1. Create a backup from the library (Backup / Restore → Create backup) or
   confirm you have a recent one.
2. Download CofreTabs-v1.1.0.zip from this release and extract it, or pull
   the v1.1.0 tag in your local clone and run node scripts/build.mjs.
3. In chrome://extensions, remove (or update the path of) the old CofreTabs
   entry and Load unpacked the extracted/built CofreTabs-v1.1.0 folder.
4. In chrome://extensions, load the extracted/built CofreTabs-v1.1.0 folder
   with Load unpacked. Your vault already lives in local storage — all tabs,
   folders, Trash, favorites and settings are there; nothing else to restore.
5. Optional: Restore a backup file if you prefer a file-based restore.

Verification

• node --test — 98/98 tests passing (storage, vault, backup, panel UI,
  library UI, update flow, plus new suites for favorites, custom folders,
  folder grid, theme, and update checks).
• node scripts/build.mjs — dist build succeeds and passes the built-folder
  smoke test (manifest parses, every referenced script/style exists, no .bak
  or backup files).
• node scripts/package.mjs — reproducible zip built and recorded in
  release/CofreTabs-v1.1.0.json with its SHA-256 checksum.

Notes

• Known limitations still apply: restricted Chromium pages (chrome://, the
  Web Store, PDF viewers) cannot be injected — the library opens instead; no
  cross-device sync (backups are manual JSON files); only http(s) pages can
  be saved.
• This release does not change the local-only data model: the vault is stored
  unencrypted in IndexedDB inside your browser profile — there is no password,
  encryption layer, account or server component.

SHA-256: GitHub displays the ZIP's SHA-256 digest on this release page; the
same hash is recorded in release/CofreTabs-v1.1.0.json, generated at
packaging time.
