Final Entry: v1.0 Development Complete

Development on Context Capsule v1.0 is finished.

The final v1.0 build delivers that core flow: select text on a Chromium page, open the extension popup, click Capture Current Page, and paste a clean markdown block with the page title, URL, timestamp, and selected text.

If no text is selected, Context Capsule uses the current clipboard as a fallback so the capture still works.The browser extension stays intentionally thin. It collects page context and talks to the local Python host through Chrome Native Messaging. Python owns the durable logic: formatting, clipboard writes, SQLite history, capsules, exports, diagnostics, and install registration.
