Release Notes

v1.0.0 Initial Public Release Draft

Published: March 10, 2026

This draft captures the current repository state for the first public release of the Logged In Google Chrome Skill. The project is centered on a safer Google login workflow: launch regular Chrome with a dedicated profile, sign in manually, then attach Playwright over CDP.

Highlights

• Added a dedicated Chrome launch workflow that waits for both the profile-backed chrome.exe process and the CDP endpoint to become ready.
• Packaged the operational PowerShell scripts needed to launch Chrome, close the dedicated browser, and verify the configured CDP port.
• Documented the safe attachment pattern for chromium.connectOverCDP(...) after manual Google login.
• Published bilingual English and Japanese documentation with GitHub Pages deployment.
• Added architecture diagrams and a Google Apps Script case study that shows the workflow producing a real spreadsheet artifact.

Included In This Release

• SKILL.md guidance for using a logged-in Google Chrome session in Codex
• scripts/launch_logged_in_chrome.ps1
• scripts/close_logged_in_chrome.ps1
• scripts/check_cdp_port.ps1
• VitePress docs under docs/
• SVG architecture diagrams under docs/public/

Why This Release Matters

Google often blocks sign-in attempts that begin inside an automation-launched browser. This release packages a practical workaround into a reusable skill repository so the login happens in a normal Chrome window first, while Playwright connects only after the authenticated session already exists.

Known Constraints

• Windows is the primary supported environment in the current scripts and examples.
• Google login remains a manual step by design.
• Playwright or playwright-core must be available from another workspace when you attach through js_repl.

Recommended Next Step

If you want to publish a formal GitHub release after this draft, the repository is in a good position for an initial stable tag once the final README and license decision are locked in.
