Yes, Dev 1.0.0

First release.

Chrome 144+ asks for consent every time a client attaches to its remote
debugging endpoint. Drive Chrome with several agents and those prompts stack up,
each one blocking its client until a human clicks Allow. There is no flag or
policy to turn this off - the upstream requests to persist approval are still
open - so the only route is to click it. Yes, Dev sits in the tray and clicks
it for you.

Four parallel attaches go from ~35 seconds of waiting on a human to 2.4-4.4
seconds, unattended.

What's in it

• Clicks the consent dialog through UI Automation - no mouse movement, no
  focus stealing, works on background windows while you carry on typing.
• Floating puff notices. A toast card per approval is worse than the problem
  when approvals fire dozens of times an hour, so each one instead releases a
  small translucent cloud that drifts up from the tray and fades. Toast and
  silent modes are there if you prefer them.
• Burst guard. Reacts if approvals spike past 60/min (adjustable to
  30/120/off). By default it asks, with a five-second visible countdown: stop,
  or allow for one hour. Running the timer out stops it, since that is the safe
  answer to a burst you did not expect. It can also be set to stop silently and
  re-arm a minute later.
• Auto-disarm timer. Stay armed for 15 minutes, an hour, four hours, or
  until you turn it off - auto-approval is only a risk while it is on.
• Start at login via a Startup shortcut. No scheduled task, no admin rights.
• Observe mode logs the dialogs without clicking, for a first look.
• Optional Microsoft Edge support, adjustable poll rate, and an approval counter
  in the tray tooltip.

Field data

From 8 days on the machine it was built on: 454 approvals, one failed click
(99.8%), no burst pauses at the default limit, and it restarted itself correctly
after a reboot. Twenty-one transient UI Automation errors were logged and
recovered from on the next 250ms sweep, costing nothing observable.

Requirements

Windows, Chrome 144+, Python 3.9+ with pystray and pillow.

Known limitations

English-language Chrome only (the dialog and button are matched by their text,
though both are overridable on watcher.ps1); the clouds are positioned for a
single unscaled display; Windows only by construction.
