 # Chrome Web Store Submission Record
 
-Status: v1.7.0 is public in the Chrome Web Store as of July 27, 2026. Google distributes the Browser Code icon inside the public v1.7 CRX, but the Store listing still rendered the retired purple-flag asset on August 3, 2026.
+Status: v1.7.0 is public in the Chrome Web Store. The exact v1.7.1 discovery package was uploaded and submitted for normal review on August 3, 2026 with no API warnings; it will publish automatically after approval. Google distributes the Browser Code icon inside the public v1.7 CRX, but the Store listing still rendered the retired purple-flag asset before this submission.
 
 The next package is a behavior-neutral v1.7.1 discovery refresh. It changes the manifest title, short description, package version, and icon encoding; it does not add permissions or extension behavior. Keep the separate v1.8 Feedback Session work out of this package. The existing Store approval does not prove the deferred PDF/export, Visual Edit, local MCP, or compact-panel runtime gates in `docs/manual-release-checklist.md`.

 - Monitor the verified contact email and dashboard for approval or a focused reviewer request.
 - Confirm the dashboard's publication timing choice before an approved item goes live; that setting was not independently recorded here.

+- Monroe explicitly authorized the v1.7.1 upload without a new unpacked-browser smoke or replacement screenshots. Those checks remain open and the release must not be described as runtime-verified.
 - The feature video, 440x280 promotional tile, and backup publisher Admin remain optional follow-up work.
 - Keep payments, authentication, network sync, additional permissions, and v1.8 Feedback Sessions out of v1.7.1.
