AI Summary

Focuses on improving image watermark removal algorithms for various Gemini variants and fixing rendering issues where zero-sized image nodes would block the preview queue.

Key Highlights

  • Enhanced watermark removal for dark-polarity and low-texture backgrounds
  • Added bounded local alpha-gain search to reduce visible halos
  • Fixed rendering blocking by preventing zero-sized image nodes from stalling the queue
  • Verified preview paths in Chrome profile

New Features

  • Bounded local alpha-gain search for watermark removal
  • Final-state decision-path metadata for quality evaluation

Full Release Notes

## Watermark removal

- Expanded evidence-gated handling for recent 48px and 96px Gemini watermark variants, including dark-polarity marks, non-standard anchors, and difficult low-texture backgrounds.
- Added bounded local alpha-gain search and a dedicated large-margin 48px rescue to reduce visible halos without changing validated anchors.
- Improved best-effort candidate discovery while retaining explicit uncertainty metadata and conservative content-protection gates.

## Quality and page integration

- Evaluated final post-repair pixels with polarity-aware clipping, halo, texture, and residual-localization signals.
- Added final-state decision-path metadata and broader real-sample quality diagnostics.
- Prevented zero-sized or stale Gemini image nodes from blocking later renderable images in the serial preview queue.
- Verified the current real-page preview, clipboard PNG, and native full-size download paths in the fixed Chrome profile.

## Verification

- Full automated suite: 1,568 tests, 1,536 passed, 32 skipped, 0 failed.
- GitHub Actions passed on the release commit.
- Image-scoped release quality gate and release goal audit passed.
- Extension package SHA-256: `8687386fa5b91ba75c2c48d01a9a939f80e467dbd3d113641a066179c0f01396`.

Remaining difficult residual, missed-detection, and content-damage cases continue to use best-effort handling. This image-scoped release does not claim Allenk video parity.
