Fixes the streak rescue rotation. It now opens 3 streams at a time and rotates every 30 minutes as intended; a timing race could previously open every rescue target at once. Rescue tabs also now follow your Auto-focus setting, so they are focused (and counted) when Auto-focus is on.

Fixes the streak rescue rotation on Firefox. The extension can now acknowledge rescue offers from the Stream Monitor desktop app (a required internal constant was missing from prior builds, so the acknowledgement failed and the rotation never started). Localhost requests to the desktop app now use XMLHttpRequest, matching the config polling, so they survive event-page suspension. Also dedupes rescue targets so a streamer who is live again is opened once.

Streak rescue rotation: when your own stream ends, the extension pairs with the Stream Monitor desktop app to reopen the streams you missed in batches of three, rotating every 30 minutes until every watch streak is saved. A final sweep catches any remaining "Save your Streak" links on Twitch.

Automatic page load recovery: if a stream tab fails to load (network error, blank page), the extension detects it and reloads the tab with increasing delays until it comes back.

v1.6.11 is a performance pass plus a tab-tracking improvement, covering the changes since the last store release.

Performance (no behavior changes)
- Debug-log writes coalesce: bursts of activity now produce one storage write instead of one per log entry.
- Tab-event handlers skip work entirely for non-Twitch tabs. They fire for every tab you open anywhere in the browser, so this cuts idle overhead.
- The streak-notification watcher only runs its full-page scan when newly-added page content actually mentions "streak", instead of scanning every couple of seconds on busy chat pages. A 60-second backstop scan still catches anything else.

Tab tracking
- Tabs opened to Twitch's save-streak page (twitch.tv/save-streak/<streamer>) are now tracked as that streamer's tab, so they get auto-mute, low-quality mode, and player keepalive like any normal monitored stream tab. This pairs with the desktop app's streak-rescue feature, which opens those pages for streams it had to skip while you were live.

The desktop companion app at https://github.com/caedicious/stream-monitor adds tray notifications, the streak-event activity log, paced multi-tab opening, and Helix-based stream monitoring. The extension works standalone for tab tracking, raid-close, and crash recovery.

v1.6.9 ships several extension-side improvements accumulated since the last AMO release.

Per-streamer mute exemption (new in v1.6.8)
- Each streamer row in the popup now has a small speaker icon.
- Click to mark that streamer exempt from auto-mute, even when global auto-mute is on. Click again to remove the exemption.
- Takes effect immediately on any currently-open tabs for that streamer.

Streak rescue (v1.6.0 through v1.6.4 series)
- Detects Twitch's "Your N-stream streak on X broke" / "ends in Yh" notifications via DOM scraping.
- On hidden Twitch tabs (background only), briefly auto-opens the bell dropdown to surface notification cards, scans them, then closes. Throttled to once per minute, never disrupts foreground tabs.
- Surfaces at-risk streaks as a red badge on the toolbar icon.
- Popup "Streaks at Risk" section lists each entry with BROKE/IN DANGER pill, deadline hint, and one-click open of https://www.twitch.tv/save-streak/<streamer>.
- Per-row dismiss (X button) and a "Clear acknowledged" bulk-cleanup link.
- Skips notification cards older than 24h so stale broke-cards in the inbox don't generate false alerts.

Player stability
- Two-tier recovery for "Network error (Error #NNNN)" overlays: gentle "Click Here to Reload Player" first, full page reload if it persists.
- Page reload preserves ?sm=1 so the extension stays attached after Twitch's SPA strips query params.
- Clickable streamer rows in the popup open the channel in a clean tab.
- Low-quality picker correctly picks the lowest resolution even when "Source" appears at the bottom of the menu.
- Auto-focus defaults to ON for tabs opened by Stream Monitor.
- Debug log retention bumped to 2000 entries with race-free writes.

The desktop companion app at https://github.com/caedicious/stream-monitor adds tray notifications, the streak-event activity log, and Helix-based stream monitoring. The extension works standalone for tab tracking and crash recovery.

v1.6.4.1 adds Twitch streak rescue and ships a handful of player-stability improvements accumulated since the last AMO release.

STREAK RESCUE (new)

Twitch's "Your N-stream streak on X broke! Watch a clip, VOD or stream in the next 24h to save it." notifications only appear in the bell-icon dropdown and the mobile app. People miss them, the 24-hour save window slips past, the streak dies.

Stream Monitor now:
- Detects streak-broke and streak-in-danger cards in the bell dropdown.
- On hidden Twitch tabs (background only, never your foreground stream), briefly clicks the bell to surface cards into the DOM, scans, then closes. Throttled to once per minute, only fires when there are unread notifications.
- Surfaces each one as a red badge on the toolbar icon with the count.
- Shows a "Streaks at Risk" section at the top of the popup, sorted by urgency (broke first, then in-danger by deadline).
- Clicking a row opens https://www.twitch.tv/save-streak/<streamer> in a new tab.
- An X button per row dismisses without opening; a "Clear acknowledged" link bulk-removes greyed-out entries.
- Skips notification cards older than 24 hours so old broke-cards still in the inbox don't generate false alerts.

PLAYER STABILITY

• Two-tier recovery for "Network error (Error #NNNN)" overlays: gentle "Click Here to Reload Player" first, full page reload if it persists.
• Page reload preserves ?sm=1 so the extension stays attached to recovered tabs after Twitch's SPA strips query params.
• Clickable streamer rows in the popup open the channel in a clean tab.
• Low-quality picker correctly picks the lowest resolution even when "Source" appears at the bottom of the menu.
• Auto-focus defaults to ON for tabs opened by Stream Monitor.
• Debug log retention bumped from 200 to 2000 entries with race-free writes.

The extension works standalone for tab tracking and crash recovery. The Stream Monitor desktop companion (https://github.com/caedicious/stream-monitor) adds tray notifications, activity logging, and Helix-based stream monitoring.

More robust recovery from Twitch player crashes.

When Twitch shows the "Network error (Error #NNNN)" overlay, the extension clicks the "Click Here to Reload Player" button. If the overlay is still there 30 seconds later, the extension now does a full page reload to nuke any wedged React state, and re-adds ?sm=1 to the URL so Stream Monitor keeps tracking the tab after the reload.

Without this two-tier recovery, a stuck player would have to wait roughly 2 minutes for the next keepalive cycle, which is long enough to break a Twitch viewing streak. The hard-reload has a 5-minute cooldown so a persistent error can't trigger a reload loop. Both recovery tiers run on background tabs.

Other changes since the previously published AMO version:
- Clickable streamer rows in the popup open the channel in a clean tab.
- Low-quality picker correctly picks the lowest resolution even when "Source" appears at the bottom of the menu.
- Auto-focus defaults to ON for tabs opened by Stream Monitor (better Twitch streak protection).
- Debug log retention bumped from 200 to 2000 entries with race-free writes, for easier post-mortem on any missed streams.

v1.5.6

• Auto-focus new stream tabs now defaults to ON. Browsers
  configured to open external tabs in background can otherwise
  cause Twitch to stop counting you as a viewer.
• Auto-clicks "Click Here to Reload Player" when Twitch shows
  the network error #2000 overlay, automatically recovering
  the stream.

v1.5.5

• Click any monitored streamer's name in the popup to open their
  Twitch page in a new tab. The opened tab is a clean viewing
  experience: no auto-mute, low-quality, or max-tabs treatment,
  since you clicked because you want to actually watch.
• Low-quality mode now picks the actual lowest resolution.
  Previously the code picked the last item in Twitch's quality
  menu, which broke when "1080p60 (Source)" was pinned to the
  bottom of the list. The new logic parses each label's resolution
  number and picks the smallest.

v1.5.4

• "Keep Open" pin: mark streamers in the desktop app's Settings as
  "always keep open." Their tabs are protected from being closed when
  the max-tabs limit is reached; only unmarked streams compete for slots.
• New "Auto-focus new stream tabs" toggle in the popup. When enabled,
  the browser switches to a stream tab as soon as it opens.

Compatible with Stream Monitor desktop app v1.4.0 or later.

Version 1.4.1

New: Player keepalive keeps Twitch counting you as an active viewer even when the stream tab is in the background. Prevents the stream from being paused or marked as idle when you have lots of tabs open.

New: Automatic recovery if the stream gets paused or stalls in a background tab. The extension will restart playback, and as a last resort reload the tab to get the stream going again.

Improved: Dismisses the "click to unmute" banner, error/refresh prompts, and mature content gates automatically so you don't have to interact with the tab to keep the stream going.

v1.4.0

• Only control tabs opened by Stream Monitor desktop app (manually opened tabs are no longer affected)
• Content script for Twitch player control: ensure video plays, low quality mode to save bandwidth
• Pause extension toggle to temporarily stop raid tab closing
• Raid follow-through: optionally follow one raid hop before closing
• Max simultaneous tabs cap
• Live/offline status display for monitored streamers in popup
• Tab error recovery with auto-reload
• Auto-mute support for monitored tabs

v1.3.2 — Welcome page, creator credits, and about page

• Added a welcome page that opens on first install, with links to the creator's Twitch, GitHub, and Ko-fi
• Added "Created by CaedVT" credit in the extension popup, linking to the about page served by the desktop app
• Version bump to align with desktop app v1.3.2
