---
## [1.3.17] - 2025-12-23
### Changed
- Auth system now uses messaging instead of `chrome.storage` for cross-context sync
- Background.js is the source of truth; contexts sync via `bxm:syncAuth` message on load
- Fresh custom tokens fetched from server only when context UID differs from background UID

### Fixed
- Auth failures caused by expired custom tokens (tokens no longer stored, fetched fresh when needed)

## [1.3.0] - 2025-12-16

### Added
- Multi-target builds for Chromium, Firefox, and Opera with automatic manifest adjustments
- Chromium build uses `background.service_worker`, Firefox build uses `background.scripts`
- Opera build auto-resolves `__MSG_*__` placeholders in `short_name` (Opera enforces 12-char limit including placeholder text)
- Browser-specific `TARGETS` config object with `adjustManifest()` functions for each target
- Opera loading instructions in BUILD_INSTRUCTIONS.md

### Changed
- Packaged output structure changed from `packaged/raw/` to `packaged/{chromium,firefox,opera}/raw/`
- Extension zip moved from `packaged/extension.zip` to `packaged/{chromium,firefox,opera}/extension.zip`
- `package.js` now creates separate builds for each browser target using configurable `TARGETS` object
- `publish.js` uses target-specific paths (chromium zip for Chrome/Edge, firefox raw for Firefox, opera zip for Opera)
- `audit.js` audits chromium build (code is identical between targets)
- Manifest compilation now uses 3-step process: apply defaults → target adjustments → cleanup

### Fixed
- Packaged extensions no longer include `.scss`, `.sass`, `.ts`, or `.DS_Store` files (caused store rejections)

## [1.1.13] - 2025-11-26
### Added
- Default `.env` file with publish credential templates for all stores
- Intelligent line-based merging for `.gitignore` and `.env` files with section markers
- Template variable support for `.yml` and `.yaml` files

### Changed
- Credentials now read from `.env` file instead of config (better security)
- `.gitignore` and `.env` files use section markers to separate defaults from custom values
- Template transform now passes `versions` data for workflow templating

## [1.1.6] - 2025-11-14
### Added
- Bootstrap exposure to `window.bootstrap` in all UI components (popup, options, sidepanel, page)
- `@popperjs/core` dependency for Bootstrap's Dropdown, Tooltip, and Popover components
- Project-specific JS files to webpack watch paths for improved hot reloading

### Changed
- Modernized content.js manager from prototype-based to ES6 class syntax with async/await
- Updated affiliatizer import to use dynamic import in content.js
- Improved logging consistency across all manager classes

## [1.1.1] - 2025-11-13
### Changed
- Simplified build.js configuration generation by removing webManager config overrides
- Improved theme JS file watching in webpack config
- Updated Firebase dependencies to latest versions (firebase 12.6.0)

### Added
- Cache busting support for CSS/JS includes in page template (?cb={{ cacheBust }})
- build.js script loading to page template for runtime configuration
- web-manager watch path for improved development workflow

### Fixed
- Removed verbose logging in background.js initialization
- Browser caching issues during development with cache-busted resource URLs
