v1.0.5: Systems Hardening, Edge-Case Test Suite & ELI5 Documentation

⚡ What's New in v1.0.5

• Edge-Case Systems Hardening:

  • Extension Panel Isolation: Protects Chrome SidePanel & internal extensions (Bitwarden, Translate) from unexpected URL resets or tab discards.
  • Atomic Debounce & Re-entrance Guard: Prevents switcher icon oscillation and desynchronized discard timers during rapid repeated clicks on 'X'.
  • Memory Set Leaks Resolved: Added chrome.tabs.onRemoved listener to evict destroyed tabs from tracking Sets.
  • SPA Hash & Subpath Routing: Cleans deep hash fragments and URL queries back to base routes without kicking users out of subpath workspaces.
  • Glide Discard Cancellation: Immediately aborts scheduled discard if the user reopens a closing panel during the 150ms glide delay.
  • Scoped DOM Container Observer: Scoped MutationObserver to #panels-container to eliminate full-window DOM thrashing.
  • Multi-tier Close Fallback: Works even if the user has hidden the sidebar switcher bar.

• Automated Test Simulation Suite:

  • Added tests/test_edge_cases.js validating URL clean matrix, extension detection, tab memory eviction, atomic debounce, and container scoping (100% green).

• Comprehensive Chronological Ledger:

  • Added CHANGELOG.md with low-level technical autopsies of every iteration explaining why each bug happened at the Chromium/React level.

• ELI5 ("Explain Like I'm 5") Visual Documentation:

  • Complete overhaul of README.md featuring Mermaid diagrams, spoon-fed Linux distro matrix, and SEO-optimized snippet FAQs.
