Chromium ships in the base packages, so it never goes through
omarchy-install-browser, and a first install stamps every migration as
already applied without running it. That left both bundled extensions
loaded from chromium-flags.conf with no host to talk to: Copy URL did
nothing at all, since the clipboard write and the toast both live in the
host.
The user install now registers both hosts itself, and a migration
repairs the installs that already missed out — Copy URL since 1784763917
landed, Download Video since 1780517689, unless installing a browser or
refreshing Chromium happened to fix them along the way.

The Copy URL extension was intermittently failing to copy anything, and
its notification looked oversized with no icon. Several distinct problems:
- The MV3 service worker was pinned to stale cached code. Chromium caches
the worker script for a --load-extension command-line extension and does
NOT re-register it when the file changes in place — not on restart, not on
a manifest version bump, not even after a clean shutdown. So updated code
never took effect: the old worker kept calling chrome.scripting.executeScript,
which throws once the scripting permission is gone, and the copy silently
failed. Renaming the worker to a versioned filename (background-2.js) is a
new script URL, which forces a fresh registration for everyone — new
installs and existing installs alike. Rename it again on any future worker
change (see the note at the top of background-2.js).
- Clipboard writes now go through an offscreen document (MV3's sanctioned
path) using a textarea + execCommand('copy'), replacing executeScript +
navigator.clipboard. This works on chrome:// pages and needs no scripting
permission. execCommand is used deliberately: navigator.clipboard.writeText
rejects in an unfocused offscreen document.
- Add a toolbar action (chrome.action.onClicked) so the extension is
clickable, not keyboard-only — it was greyed out in the extensions menu
with nothing to invoke.
- Slim the "URL copied" notification: lead the summary with a glyph so the
omarchy notification shell collapses it to a single-line toast with an
icon, instead of an oversized card with a blank icon slot.
- Guard the Quattro shortcut-repair migration: it edits Chromium Preferences
to move the Alt+Shift+L binding to the new extension id, but a running
browser rewrites Preferences on exit and reverts the edit. Prompt (via gum)
to close the browser first, only when a browser is running and there is
actually a stale binding to repair.
