The store build has its own id, so the native-messaging manifest refused it and the extension reported the app as not running. Chrome now allows the store id and the unpacked development id, in the NSIS hook and in both install scripts; --chrome-id / -ChromeId take a list. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>

Native messaging manifests
install.sh (Linux, macOS) and install.ps1 (Windows) fill in the placeholders and register the
manifests for the current user. Chrome allows two ids by default: the Chrome Web Store build
(pmhfoafjoogobhfadaicklhkldgnafmk) and the unpacked development build, pinned to
kogapfibnnpeapfcjkkpgjddbhnjfein by the manifest key in kestrove-browser. Firefox uses [email protected].
Pass --chrome-id a,b / -ChromeId a,b to allow other ids instead.

allowed_origins / allowed_extensions pin the host to your extension id.
That is the first line of defense against other extensions (docs/04 A8).
