all repos — sz-chrome-remote-extension @ 4739dce965041f72da917794b6d3122d01904f45

pi-chrome, patched to drive a signed-in browser on another host through a broker, with an MCP server 

silence startup notify + dynamic status bar

- Remove startup notification about companion extension
- Remove static 'Chrome bridge :17318' status bar entry
- Add updateChromeStatus() helper: shows green dot + 'Chrome Bridge'
  only when authorized, clears otherwise
- Call from session_start, authorizeFor, revokeHandler
