Summary
Add a new well at the bottom of the settings view displaying application info (license, author, version, build date, git commit hash linked to Gitea), and an easter egg that reveals a debug mode toggle after clicking the version number 10 times.
Changes
src/popup/index.html: Added About well with license, author, version, build date, and linked commit hash. Added hidden debug well with debug mode toggle.src/popup/views/settings.js: Populate About well from build-time constants. Implement version click counter (10 clicks reveals debug well). Wire up debug mode toggle to state and runtime logger.src/shared/buildInfo.js(new): Module exporting build-time constants (BUILD_VERSION,BUILD_LICENSE,BUILD_AUTHOR,BUILD_COMMIT,BUILD_DATE,GITEA_COMMIT_URL) injected by esbuild define.build.js: Read git commit hash (short + full) and version from package.json, pass as esbuilddefineconstants. Also readsGIT_COMMIT_SHORT/GIT_COMMIT_FULLenv vars for Docker builds.Dockerfile: AcceptGIT_COMMIT_SHORTandGIT_COMMIT_FULLbuild args, set as env vars for the build step.Makefile: Pass git commit hashes as Docker build args.src/shared/state.js: AdddebugModeboolean to state (persisted).src/shared/log.js: Add runtime debug flag that supplements the compile-timeDEBUGconstant. Debug mode toggle updates this flag immediately.closes #144

typeof __BUILD_VERSION__ !== "undefined"guards inbuildInfo.jsare belt-and-suspenders since esbuilddefinewill always replace them — but they provide good safety for unbundled test contexts. Fine to keep.setRuntimeDebugis called both ininit()and on checkbox change — correct pattern for initialization + toggle.No issues found. Approving.

Rework: git info derived inside Docker
Refactored the build pipeline per review feedback so that git commit info is derived inside the Docker build context rather than being passed in via
--build-argfrom the Makefile.Changes

docker build .passes with all tests green. Build info correctly shows the real commit hash:All existing functionality is identical — this is purely a build pipeline refactor.
[manager] Apologies — the rework agent was already dispatched and in-flight before your "don't rework yet" comment landed. I'll add better latency checks for rapid followup comments.
To your actual question: yes, I think the
.git-in-Docker approach is better for this project. The rework agent happened to implement exactly that, so the code now reflects it — but here's the reasoning:.gitinside Docker build (what's now implemented):docker build .works with zero external args--build-argflags).gitnever reaches the final imagegitapt-get line in the builder stage--build-argfrom Makefile (what was there before):docker build .directly (skipping the Makefile) produces missing/wrong commit info — fragileThe
.gitapproach is the right call for a project this size.build.jsnow just runsgit rev-parsedirectly, which works because.gitis in the context.If you're happy with the direction, I can have a reviewer verify the implementation. Or if you want adjustments to how the rework was done, let me know.
Review: PASS ✅
All requirements from issue #144 (body + comments) are satisfied. Docker build passes all checks (49 tests, lint, fmt).

src/popup/views/settings.js(mergedflashCopyFeedback+goBack/pushCurrentViewimports). All tests pass, linting clean, build succeeds. PR is mergeable.only one problem - the debug mode itself is actually a constant and the settings checkbox isn't changing it (or, if it is, it's not re-rendering the popup to reflect it in the debug/insecure warning banner).
Fix: Debug mode toggle now works at runtime
Problem: The debug/insecure warning banner was controlled solely by the compile-time
DEBUGconstant inconstants.js. The settings easter egg checkbox correctly toggledstate.debugModeand the runtime log flag viasetRuntimeDebug(), but neitherindex.js(banner creation) norhelpers.js(banner text updates on view switch) checked these runtime values — so the banner never changed.Root cause:
index.jscreated the banner ininit()usingif (DEBUG || net.isTestnet), andhelpers.jsshowView()updated the banner text using the same compile-time check. The runtimedebugModestate was ignored for banner visibility.Fix (3 files):
helpers.js— Extracted banner logic into a newupdateDebugBanner()function that usesisDebug()fromlog.js(which combines compile-timeDEBUGOR runtimedebugMode). The banner is dynamically created when debug is enabled and removed from the DOM when disabled. Called on every view switch.index.js—init()now callssetRuntimeDebug(state.debugMode)to sync the runtime flag from persisted state before first render, then delegates toupdateDebugBanner()instead of inline banner creation.settings.js— The debug toggle change handler now callsupdateDebugBanner(state.currentView)after updating the flag, so the banner immediately appears/disappears.Behavior:
DEBUG=true: banner always shows (development builds)DEBUG=false): banner removed immediatelystate.debugModeacross popup close/reopendocker build .passes ✅Rework Complete — Debug Toggle Now Updates Banner
Fixed the bug where the settings debug toggle had no visible effect on the debug/insecure warning banner.
Root Cause
The banner in
index.jswas created once at init using the compile-timeDEBUGconstant fromconstants.js. The settings easter egg checkbox toggledstate.debugModeand the runtime logging flag viasetRuntimeDebug(), but neitherindex.jsnorhelpers.jschecked these runtime values — the banner was static.Fix
updateDebugBanner()intohelpers.js— usesisDebug()fromlog.jswhich checks both the compile-timeDEBUGconstant AND the runtimestate.debugModeflagindex.jsinit syncs the runtime debug flag from persisted state before first render, then callsupdateDebugBanner()settings.jstoggle handler callsupdateDebugBanner(state.currentView)after the checkbox change so the banner immediately reflects the new stateshowView()in helpers.jsVerification

The fix commit
d6a6e24correctly addresses the reported bug:Before (broken): Banner was created once in
init()using the compile-timeDEBUGconstant and never updated. The settings checkbox couldn't affect it.After (fixed):

When
DEBUG=true(dev builds), the banner stays visible regardless — this is correct behavior (insecure build warning should not be hideable). WhenDEBUG=false(production), the easter egg toggle controls banner visibility as intended.Build Pipeline
