Full Changelog: v1.4.10-beta.1...v1.5.0

Highlights

• Usage status bar (#690) (off by default): Gemini's new 5-hour and weekly limits, surfaced as a draggable pill right by the chat box. Refreshes silently after each response; stored locally, never reads your chats.
• Theme-aware code blocks: Gemini code blocks now follow the page's light/dark theme — no more glaring dark code surface on light pages.
• YouTube covers in exports: exported conversations keep YouTube video covers as clickable images.
• Remote Voyager notices: reads a public JSON feed as data only (title, body, HTTPS link); it cannot inject or run remote code.
• Edge Add-ons support continues: Voyager will keep maintaining the Microsoft Edge Add-ons build for users who need Edge on mobile or tablet.

✨ Features

• Usage status bar with 5-hour / weekly buckets, a one-time intro coachmark, and account-isolated cache (#690)
• Code blocks follow the page theme
• YouTube video covers included in exports
• Remote announcement notifications (data-only feed, optional system permission)
• Fable 5 Verified badge in the popup footer

🐛 Fixes

• Folders: restored on the new (lr26) Gemini sidebar; stabilized floating startup & recovery
• Export toolbar: correct top-right placement, shows immediately on the logoless lr26 UI, no top-bar overlap
• Default model: stopped rejected auto-switch loops; unified the selector set to prevent dropdown flash
• Watermark: repeats removal for stacked marks
• Gems: sidebar gem links scoped to the current account window
• Notifications permission is now optional (unblocks stuck Firefox updates)
• Prevent-auto-scroll no longer blocks conversation restore
• Plugins respect catalog TTL and keep last-known-good manifests
• Changelog modal logs and falls back when it can't open

⚡ Performance

• Faster sidebar open with large chat histories
• Timeline turn-text extraction cached across recalcs
• Debounced sidebar auto-hide observer
