v1.7.0 — Side Panel Fix + Hallmark Redesign

What's new in v1.7.0

🐛 Critical fixes

• Side panel now works — added "side_panel": {"default_path": "popup.html"} to manifest (the missing declaration that prevented Chrome from registering the panel)
• Panel survives locking — removed sidePanel.setOptions({enabled: false}) from lockAndExit(); locking now returns to the gate view instead of permanently disabling the panel
• Chrome 116+ auto-open — setPanelBehavior({openPanelOnActionClick: true}) so clicking the toolbar icon opens the side panel with no extra clicks

🎨 Hallmark redesign (anti-AI-slop UI)

• True black #0a0a0a background, amber #F59E0B accent
• Sharp 4px geometry — no bubbly rounded cards
• Monospace terminal-style password/URL inputs
• Domain-hashed bookmark avatar colors (8-color palette)
• No backdrop-filter: blur — performant in side panels
• Snappy 100–120ms micro-animations

📦 Installation

1. Download SafeMark.zip and unzip
2. Open chrome://extensions or brave://extensions
3. Enable Developer mode
4. Click Load unpacked → select the unzipped SafeMark folder
5. Click the shield icon — the vault opens as a side panel

SafeMark v1.6.3 — Chrome & Brave

Install

1. Download SafeMark.zip, unzip → single SafeMark-1.6.3/ folder
2. chrome://extensions (or brave://extensions) → Developer mode → Remove any old Safemark → Load unpacked → that folder
3. Confirm the card says 1.6.3, pin the shield, click it

What's new in v1.6.3

• Self-diagnosing fallback — when the docked side panel refuses to open and the vault falls back to a browser tab, the page now shows a banner with the exact browser error and the fix (Brave: Settings → Appearance → Show sidebar, then click the shield again)
• Service worker logs both panel-open attempts (windowId-open / tabId-open errors) for one-glance diagnosis
• Same encryption & sync as ever: PBKDF2-SHA256 600k → AES-256-GCM, ciphertext-only sync

SafeMark v1.6.2 — Chrome & Brave

Install

1. Download SafeMark.zip and unzip it — you get a single SafeMark-1.6.2/ folder
2. Open chrome://extensions (or brave://extensions) and enable Developer mode
3. Click Load unpacked and select that SafeMark-1.6.2 folder
4. Pin the shield icon, click it, and set your master password

Updating from a previous build: Remove the old extension first
(chrome://extensions → Remove), then Load unpacked the fresh folder.
Your vault survives removal of the unpacked extension only if you keep
the profile — reinstalling Brave itself wipes it.

What's new in v1.6.2

• Click can never dead-end again — Side Panel → per-tab panel → regular tab, in order, and the exact failure reason is logged to the service-worker console (extension page → service worker → inspect)
• Stable download name — the release asset is always SafeMark.zip, homepage links never break on new versions
• All v1.6.1 fixes included

SafeMark v1.6.1 — Chrome & Brave

Install

1. Download SafeMark-1.6.1.zip and unzip it — you get a single SafeMark-1.6.1/ folder
2. Open chrome://extensions (or brave://extensions) and enable Developer mode
3. Click Load unpacked and select that SafeMark-1.6.1 folder
4. Pin the shield icon, click it, and set your master password

Keep the folder after installing (don't delete the extracted files) — Chrome loads the extension
from that directory. Move it to a permanent place like Documents before loading.

What's new in v1.6.1

• Side panel vault — opens docked next to your browsing; no more pop-out windows
• Fixed: Brave builds that reject windowId in sidePanel.setOptions (the click did nothing)
• Live tab tracking — the "Bookmark this page" row follows your active tab in real time
• Packaging: zip now extracts to one clean SafeMark-1.6.1/ folder, exact asset name matches the download links
• Encryption unchanged: PBKDF2-SHA256 (600k iterations) → AES-256-GCM, ciphertext-only sync
