Version 1.0

Polychrome Capture 1.0.0

Polychrome Capture 1.0.0 is the first stable release of the Chrome extension for extracting LMS tasks and saving them to Polychrome.

What changed since 0.1.0 (user summary)

• Task capture is more accurate and less likely to pull unrelated page text.
• Results are easier to review because higher-confidence tasks appear first.
• You can now tune capture behavior directly in the popup without editing code.
• Old/stale due dates are filtered by default, with an override when needed.
• Save failures now provide clearer guidance, including sign-in recovery when your session expires.

Highlights

• Major parser overhaul with staged extraction, scoring, and deduplication for improved reliability.
• Platform-agnostic capture strategy with adapter support (Schoology and Canvas) and tuning profiles.
• Better false-positive suppression for navigation/footer/comment noise and non-task labels.
• Improved due-date handling across semantic markup, common text formats, and stale-date filtering.
• Confidence-based ordering in popup results for faster manual review.

New parser controls

• Confidence mode selector (High Recall, Balanced, High Precision).
• Option to include likely undated tasks.
• Runtime blocked-title phrase editor.
• Max past due age setting (default: 2 years, configurable or disabled).
• Parser debug panel with adapter info, thresholds, and reject reasons.

Reliability and robustness improvements

• Mutation-based re-scrape support for dynamic LMS pages.
• Tab-scoped scrape caching in the service worker.
• Content-script handshake to prevent duplicate injection issues.
• Structured auth error handling (401/403) with sign-in recovery flow.
• Runtime and storage error guardrails for popup ↔ worker messaging.

Notable filtering additions

• Excludes Posted on: ... and Posted Today at ... metadata from task titles.
• Adds explicit parser reject reason for posted metadata (postedOnLabel) visible in debug output.
• Strengthened closed/submission-disabled detection to avoid non-actionable captures.

Compatibility

• Manifest V3 extension.
• Minimum Chrome version: 114.

Upgrade notes

• This release bumps extension version from 0.1.0 to 1.0.0 in extension/manifest.json.
• No migration steps are required for existing parser settings.
