MindShield v1.1.0: Over Haul
MindShield 1.1.0
MindShield 1.1.0 focuses on improving the user experience, prompt detection, and overall project quality.
What's New
🖥️ Improved Prompt Bar
The prompt bar now includes a gray inner area, improving its visual appearance and making the input area clearer.
⚡ Improved User Experience
Auto-focus has been added to make interacting with MindShield faster and more convenient.
🎯 More Accurate Prompt Detection
MindShield now focuses its detection specifically on questions.
This significantly reduces false positives caused by casual discussion, statements, and normal information sharing.
🧠 Improved AI Classification
The AI classifier has been tweaked to better distinguish between different types of questions.
Knowledge-based questions are now more likely to pass through normally, while questions involving things you could reasonably think through yourself are more likely to trigger MindShield's reflection mechanism.
The goal is to make MindShield feel less intrusive while still encouraging independent thinking.
🧹 Project Cleanup
Unneeded bloat files have been removed.
This reduces the extension's file size and makes the project easier to inspect and understand.
