v0.1.8 — Venice AI provider

Added

• Venice AI provider preset (Settings → Providers → Add a provider).
  Privacy-focused inference with open-weight and frontier models over Venice's
  OpenAI-compatible API. OpenSidekick turns off Venice's injected default system
  prompt (include_venice_system_prompt: false) so the agent's own instructions
  aren't diluted, strips <think> blocks from reasoning models' replies, and
  pins the catalog query to text models so Venice's image/TTS/embedding models
  can never appear in Fetch models, even if Venice changes that default.
  The preset pre-fills qwen-3-8-27b — Venice's default vision model, which
  supports tool calling and vision per Venice's model catalog. Get a key at
  venice.ai/settings/api.

Install

• Chrome Web Store (recommended, auto-updates): https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/idffinkmnnajgpjjonpmmaikjbpjmngk — the store copy updates once this version has been uploaded and passes Google's review.
• Manual: download opensidekick.zip below, unzip it, open chrome://extensions, turn on Developer mode, click Load unpacked, and pick the unzipped folder.

Verification

• npm test: 155 unit checks pass (44 new for Venice: preset shape, host matching, request body, model-list query).
• npm run test:e2e: real-browser suite passes (89 checks), including a new options-page flow that adds and removes the Venice preset.
