Extension Management

This project builds a Chrome side panel extension from the generated dist/ directory. Run npm run build before loading or reloading the unpacked extension.

Required Chrome Profile

When an agent needs to inspect, load, reload, test, or otherwise manage this extension in Chrome, use the Codex Chrome extension with the Chrome profile named Silma.

Do not use Profile 1 for this project.

This rule applies to:

  • Opening Chrome for extension work.
  • Loading dist/ as an unpacked extension.
  • Reloading the extension after a build.
  • Inspecting extension side panel, background/service worker behavior, or permissions.
  • Any browser automation that depends on extension state.

Build Output

  • Build command: npm run build
  • Deployable/load-unpacked directory: dist/
  • Manifest path: dist/manifest.json

Do not edit dist/ directly. Change source files and rebuild.

Environment

Use .env.local for local extension configuration and secrets. Never commit real tokens.

Required variables:

  • VITE_GITEA_BASE_URL
  • VITE_GITEA_TOKEN
  • VITE_GITEA_REPO_OWNER
  • VITE_GITEA_REPO_NAME

Issue Creation

  • Add Issue is enabled only when the active tab's base URL is already in the URLs list and that URL is linked to a Gitea repo.
  • The Add Issue view must show the Gitea repo that will receive the issue.
  • The Add Issue view intentionally omits the redundant view header title/description and keeps the Ready checkbox label short.
  • Screenshot capture uses Chrome's visible-tab capture API and requires the extension's activeTab permission plus <all_urls> host permission so capture still works after the side panel remains open across tab changes.
  • Captured screenshots should appear immediately in Add Issue as thumbnail rows.
  • Created issue bodies must include Chrome profile: Silma.
  • Newly created issues must include the Change Request label.
  • When Ready is checked, create the issue, upload screenshots/files as Gitea issue assets, then apply the ready label last.
  • The Add Issue view lists existing issues for the linked Gitea repo. Selecting an issue shows the original description, issue attachments, comment chain, and a comment form for text, additional screenshots, and file attachments.
  • Issue comments should upload screenshots/files as issue assets first, then create a comment containing links to those attachments.
  • Existing issue rows can apply the ready label or delete the issue. Deletion must require confirmation.

URL Management

  • URLs can be deleted from the URLs list.
  • Deleting a user-added URL removes it from silmaAide.userUrls in chrome.storage.local.
  • Deleting a generated known URL stores its base URL in silmaAide.deletedUrlBases so it is hidden without editing generated local context.

Agent Checklist

  1. Run npm run build.
  2. Confirm npm run verify:dist passes.
  3. Use the Silma Chrome profile through the Codex Chrome extension.
  4. Load or reload the dist/ directory.
  5. Avoid Profile 1.
