Scope

What ships in this build

Included

  • Captures visible Chrome-Stats metrics when present on the page.
  • Stores competitor notes as a SourcePack report.
  • Does not crawl Chrome Web Store pages or run background scans.
  • Requests no persistent Chrome-Stats or Chrome Web Store host permission.

Limits

  • This launch scope is local competitor note capture, not public rank manipulation.
