[2.0.0] - Unreleased

open_tabs tool: New tool allowing agents to open specific URLs or batches of URLs in the browser.
Programmatic Tool Calling: close_tabs and open_tabs now return pure JSON (along with clear return schemas in their descriptions) instead of conversational strings to enable easier agentic scripting and data extraction.
Power Toggle: Added an on/off switch to the Chrome Extension popup, letting you easily suspend MCP access without disabling the entire extension.
Graceful Shutdown: Added process signal handlers (SIGINT, SIGTERM, and stdin disconnects) to native-host/host.js so the host process exits cleanly and doesn't leave zombie node processes hanging when the MCP client stops.

README & LLM Context Overhaul: Completely rewrote README.md and llms.txt to remove bloat and include explicit, copy-pasteable installation instructions for all major MCP clients (Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Continue, Cline, Hermes, LibreChat).
Extension UI Refinement: Modernized and decluttered the popup interface using minimalist design principles. Improved typography, simplified the robot eye SVG, and streamlined the layout.
Safeguards on close_tabs: Explicitly instructed LLMs (via the tool description) that they MUST ask for user confirmation before executing a non-dry-run tab close, preventing overly-eager agents from randomly deleting your tabs.
list_tabs Presentation Rules: Instructed LLMs to pass the tool's ASCII histogram through to the user unharmed instead of unhelpfully summarizing it into bullet points.
Extension Resilience: Enhanced the background.js service worker with chrome.alarms to reliably wake up and maintain the WebSocket connection to the native host even when Chrome tries to suspend it.
