Treedent Tab Manager

====================================================
TREEDENT
====================================================

Treedent is a privacy-friendly tree-style tab manager for Google Chrome.

It transforms overwhelming tab chaos into a structured, collapsible tree. Tabs opened from a page stay linked as children, so browsing sessions keep their context. Whether you work with research-heavy workflows, many windows, or long-running sessions, Treedent helps you stay organized and keep control.

Treedent v2 introduces a rebuilt runtime focused on reliability: session state is managed authoritatively in the background, with deterministic persistence and restoration.

====================
KEY FEATURES
====================

▪ Authoritative Session Runtime (v2)
Treedent now uses a background-owned source of truth for session and tree state, improving consistency and reducing drift.

▪ Tree-Style Sidebar
View tabs and folders in a nested hierarchy and collapse branches to reduce noise.

▪ Drag-and-Drop Reordering and Nesting
Move tabs or whole branches exactly where you need them in the tree.

▪ Search, Multi-Select, and Bulk Actions
Find items quickly and apply actions across multiple tabs at once.

▪ Snapshot History and Restore
Capture workspace snapshots and restore full sessions or individual snapshot windows.

▪ Deterministic Startup Recovery
Treedent applies explicit restore rules for restart/crash scenarios and avoids accidental session overwrite.

▪ Tab and Branch Operations
Activate, pin/unpin, duplicate, refresh, mute, discard, close, copy link, and run branch-level actions.

▪ Window Workflows
Move selected items to new/existing windows and import trees from other windows.

▪ In-Page Sidebar Mode
Use Treedent in Chrome side panel mode or in-page injected mode with configurable position, width, and behavior.

▪ Deep Focus and Auto-Collapse
Focus on one branch at a time and reduce unrelated tree noise during tab switching.

▪ Options, Logs, and Debugging
Configure behavior, language, and styling, and inspect logs/snapshot/runtime diagnostics directly in the extension UI.

▪ Flexible Theming and Styling
Use built-in themes, live preview, and advanced style settings including custom theme workflows.

▪ Privacy-First Design
No hidden telemetry. Your tab/session data stays local in your browser.

====================
WHAT'S NEW
====================

----------------------------------------------------
Version 2.1.1 • Tab group sync fix
----------------------------------------------------

• Fixed child tabs created from the sidebar appearing outside mirrored Chrome tab groups.
• New child tabs now join the correct browser tab group immediately when tab group sync is enabled.
• Improved create-tab synchronization reliability between Treedent’s tree model and Chrome tabs.

----------------------------------------------------
Version 2.1.0 • Tab groups, faster sidebar workflows, and localization updates
----------------------------------------------------

Description:
This release adds browser tab group support and new sidebar controls, improves activation and sync responsiveness, and expands localization and options UX polish.

--- Features ---
• Added browser tab group support with refined tab-group mirroring behavior.
• Added sidebar toolbar overflow controls for quicker access to advanced actions.
• Added URL-based sidebar search for faster tab discovery.
• Added sidebar toggles for restore placeholders and automatic inactive-tab discard.
• Added visible restore-placeholder markers in sidebar tab rows.

--- Improvements ---
• Improved tab activation and sidebar refresh latency for a more responsive workflow.
• Improved deep-focus branch placement preservation during browser sync.
• Improved startup active-session persistence reliability.
• Improved options widget layout and section readability.
• Improved locale coverage by packaging and translating newly added messages.

--- Bug Fixes ---
• Fixed sidebar double-click rename handling.
• Fixed interaction issues by removing delayed handle-click activation behavior.
• Fixed Belarusian locale message wording for newly added settings/status labels.
• Fixed pages CTA browser-label replacement scope to avoid unintended substitutions.
• Changed default behavior: restore placeholders are now disabled by default (`useRestorePlaceholders=false`).

----------------------------------------------------
Version 2.0.3 • Runtime recovery and diagnostics improvements
----------------------------------------------------

Description:
This update improves runtime reliability by adding automatic recovery paths and expands diagnostics for scheduled auto-discard and startup restore behavior.

--- Features ---
• Added scheduled auto-discard diagnostics with richer runtime events and troubleshooting details.
• Added options/debugging visibility for auto-discard scheduler state and recent scan outcomes.
• Added automatic resolution for stale pending startup-restore decisions by restoring and preserving unmatched browser tabs.

--- Improvements ---
• Improved session-change broadcasting with attached refreshed read-model state for more reliable sidebar updates.
• Improved startup restore policy handling by normalizing legacy ask-style policy to restore-and-keep behavior.

--- Bug Fixes ---
• Fixed replay-failure handling to clear invalid journal entries and recover with a ready snapshot state instead of remaining degraded.
• Fixed startup restore edge cases so meaningful existing browser tabs are preserved during automatic restore flows.
• Fixed diagnostic persistence and synchronization edge cases around scheduled auto-discard state reporting.

----------------------------------------------------
Version 2.0.2 • Sidebar shortcut parity and placement stability updates
----------------------------------------------------

Description:
This update restores a v1 sidebar shortcut in v2 and improves tab placement and synchronization reliability during restore and runtime reconciliation.

--- Features ---
• Reintroduced sidebar double-click shortcuts from v1 to quickly create tabs and folders in v2.

--- Improvements ---
• Improved new-tab placement accuracy by using navigation signals during reconciliation.

--- Bug Fixes ---
• Fixed shift-click behavior to close the intended tab branch from the sidebar.
• Fixed blocked browser sync coalescing to avoid missed or delayed synchronization runs.
• Fixed closed-tab restoration placement to keep restored tabs in the expected tree location.

----------------------------------------------------
Version 2.0.1 • Drag-and-drop and child-tab ordering fixes
----------------------------------------------------

Description:
This patch improves tree editing consistency by fixing edge cases in multi-item drag-and-drop and child-tab placement order.

--- Bug Fixes ---
• Fixed an issue where moving multiple selected items as one drag block could behave incorrectly.
• Fixed browser ordering for newly created child tabs so placement is consistent with tree expectations.

----------------------------------------------------
Version 2.0.0 • Treedent v2 and authoritative session runtime
----------------------------------------------------

Description:
This major release introduces the v2 architecture with background-owned authoritative session state, deterministic restoration, and a rebuilt options and diagnostics surface.

--- Features ---
• Added authoritative background runtime ownership for session state and tree updates.
• Added deterministic startup restore flow with pending-restore confirmation when existing browser sessions are detected.
• Added full snapshot history controls for restoring complete snapshots or individual windows.
• Added in-page sidebar presentation mode with configurable position, width, overlay/page-space behavior, auto-collapse, and trigger area.
• Added expanded options tabs for Features, Styling, Language, Logs, Snapshots, and Debugging.

--- Improvements ---
• Improved persistence reliability by combining periodic snapshots with debounced snapshot writes and bounded retention.
• Improved recovery visibility with richer debug state, journal status, and restore diagnostics.
• Improved branch and multi-selection workflows for close, discard, move, import, pin, and reorder actions.
• Improved customization with advanced style tokens, saved custom themes, and theme import/export.
• Improved startup/session consistency by enforcing restore precedence and sync blocking during restore-sensitive phases.

--- Bug Fixes ---
• Fixed multiple restore and reconciliation edge cases that could flatten or drift tree structure during startup transitions.
• Fixed persistence replay fallback behavior when journal entries cannot be safely applied.
• Fixed assorted sidebar and runtime stability issues across drag-drop, command dispatch, and state refresh flows.
