v1.3.0

v1.3.0 — 2026-06-15

Dashboard

• The footer now shows the running version, linked to its GitHub release tag, on both the standalone web dashboard and the embedded VS Code panel (#135).
• The standalone web dashboard now promotes the VS Code extension in the footer and, when a newer release is available, shows an Update to vX.Y.Z link to the latest GitHub release. The embedded panel shows neither — VS Code updates the extension itself, so it only displays the version. The dashboard learns its surface from a new --surface flag the extension passes (--surface vscode).
• Version check / privacy: to power the update link, the standalone web dashboard now makes one unauthenticated request to GitHub's public releases API (api.github.com/repos/phuryn/claude-usage/releases/latest), cached in the browser for 24 hours and fully fail-silent (offline, blocked, or rate-limited simply hides the link). It sends none of your usage data — only a plain GET for the latest release number. The embedded VS Code panel makes no such request. Your transcripts and usage data never leave your machine.

Scanner / CLI

• Added a single source-of-truth VERSION constant (scanner.VERSION) surfaced via python cli.py --version. It stays in lockstep with the top CHANGELOG heading and the extension's package.json (a parity test enforces all three match).

Project / docs

• Rewrote the extension's local-install instructions: a prebuilt .vsix is now downloadable from every GitHub Release (no build step), and the build-from-source section gives a Windows-correct invocation (powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File scripts\install.ps1) — running .\scripts\install.ps1 from Git Bash or by double-clicking just opens it in an editor.
