Lens ships capture preview, security hardening, and a privacy policy rewrite

A lot shipped in this batch. The most visible change: clicking “View captured element” now opens a dedicated preview page with the full screenshot, a description field, the Diagnose button, and a privacy disclosure, instead of rendering an image inline in the popup.

The extension’s screenshot disclosure was also corrected. The old copy said screenshots were “processed and deleted within 30 days.” That wasn’t accurate. The new copy reads: “Stored locally in your browser. Sent to Anthropic only if you run a diagnosis, then deleted immediately.” The privacy policy was updated to match, with a new section on screenshot retention and a corrected Chrome Web Store Limited Use Disclosure.

On the security side, the dev diagnostics tool was accessible to any external URL. That’s been fixed, and a partial refresh token that was showing in the diagnostics page has been removed.
