Workflow chooser
| Goal | Read this |
|---|---|
| Diagnose local failures quickly | Troubleshooting |
| Understand dev reload outcomes | Dev update behavior |
| Lock down extension safety checks | Security checklist |
| Reduce runtime and startup regressions | Performance playbook |
| Add end-to-end confidence checks | Playwright E2E |
| Set up CI templates | CI templates |
| Apply cross-command controls | Global flags |
Release confidence loop
- Run targeted local checks (
dev+ troubleshooting). - Build production artifacts (
build/start). - Validate critical flows with E2E and smoke checks.
- Run CI templates before store submission.
Next steps
- Use Commands reference to pick the right command per phase.
- Keep defaults centralized with Extension config.
