 # Chrome Web Store Submission Record
 
-Status: v1.7.0 is public in the Chrome Web Store. The exact v1.7.1 discovery package was submitted for normal review on August 3, 2026, and v1.7.2 is now the prepared Add Content replacement candidate. Replacing the active submission requires an explicit cancel, upload, publish, and API readback sequence. Google distributes the Browser Code icon inside the public v1.7 CRX, but the Store listing still rendered the retired purple-flag asset before these submissions.

-The next package is v1.7.2.

Keep the separate v1.8 Feedback Session work out of this package. The existing Store approval and automated checks do not prove the deferred browser runtime gates in `docs/manual-release-checklist.md`.
