+# Workflow
+
+- branch (from `main`)
+- do the work in Next Step
+- move Next Step to the top of Completed Steps
+- move the top item of Future Steps into Next Step
+- commit (`TODO.md` changes in the same commit as the work)
+- merge to `main` if the branch is not protected, otherwise open a PR
+- push
+
+# Status
+
+pre-1.0. Tagged v0.1.0 on 2026-02-27. Active development on branch
+feat/issue-144-settings-about (another agent working as of 2026-07-06). Full
+policy file set present; make check on main not verified.
+
+# Next Step
+
+Land feat/issue-144-settings-about: finish the settings About well (build info,
+app name and repo link, release date, version click easter egg, git info derived
+inside Docker), resolve the untracked scripts/ directory (commit or gitignore),
+get review, merge to main.
+
+# Completed Steps
+
+- 2026-03-01: About well in settings with build info and easter egg (in flight
+  on feature branch); USD display suppressed on testnets (#142); estimated USD
+  for ETH in approve-tx view (#141).
+- Sepolia testnet support (#137); etherscan links go to token-specific URLs
+  (#136).
+- Transaction detail improvements: Type field and on-chain details (#130),
+  txid-first reordering (#133), swap display corrections (#128), expanded
+  confirm-tx warnings (#118).
+- Dark mode theme setting (Light/Dark/System) with contrast fixes (#126);
+  timestamps include timezone offset (#120); layout shift audit, reserved space
+  for error messages (#124).
+- Copy-flash visual feedback with timing tune (#113, #121); cross-wallet-type
+  duplicate detection (#115).
+- 2026-02-27: v0.1.0 tagged.
+- 2026-02-24: Initial scaffolding: popup UI, BIP-39 wallet creation via
+  ethers.js, wallet persistence, real ETH balances over RPC, ENS forward and
+  reverse resolution.
+
+# Future Steps
+
+- Verify main passes make check after the feature branch merges (not verified
+  2026-07-06 because an agent was active in the tree); fix anything red. main
+  must always be green.
+- Prune stale branches: dozens of merged local and remote feature branches
+  remain (fix/_, feature/_, tx-\*); delete merged ones locally and on origin.
+- Continue the issue backlog toward a feature-complete wallet, then cut further
+  tags as milestones land.
+- Pre-1.0 security review of the extension (key handling, DEBUG mode policy, RPC
+  input validation) before any 1.0rc tag.
