The broker, pairing channel, IPC and kestrove-nmh moved to kestrove-core so the macOS app serves the extension too (a Mac no longer needs this app). Old module paths are re-exports. rustls-webpki 0.103.16 and webpki-roots 1.0.10 (RUSTSEC-2026-0381/0382). 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. Default ids are the development ones: the unpacked Chrome build is pinned
to kogapfibnnpeapfcjkkpgjddbhnjfein by the manifest key in kestrove-browser, Firefox uses
[email protected]. Pass --chrome-id / -ChromeId for a Web Store build.

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