Prompt Optimizer v2.11.4

Summary

Adds Grok text and image provider support through the xAI API, including shared key handling, built-in model defaults, image-generation routing, localized copy, and documentation updates.
Adds Chrome built-in AI provider support for browser runtimes with availability checks, model download feedback, guarded auto-enable behavior, and language options for the Chrome Prompt API.
Keeps local/no-key providers opt-in by default while preserving env-based enablement for configured online providers.
Hardens release/runtime configuration by isolating extension release env loading, restoring web root .env loading, adding a repository gate workflow, and softening themed tooltip surfaces.

Highlights

Prompt Optimizer can now cover two new provider paths: Grok for hosted text and image workflows, and Chrome built-in AI for eligible Chrome browser environments without requiring a remote API key.

Product Updates

Desktop

Desktop inherits the shared Grok text/image model presets, safer default-enable rules, and softer themed tooltip styling.
Local providers such as Ollama remain disabled until the user explicitly configures or enables them, avoiding surprising startup defaults.

Web

Added Grok to the text and image provider lists, including xAI API key aliases, default image model metadata, provider errors, and model documentation.
Added Chrome built-in AI as a browser-native text provider with Prompt API availability checks, download progress, recheck actions, and guarded startup auto-enable when the browser reports support.
Chrome built-in Prompt API calls now pass the expected input/output language options so availability and session creation stay aligned.
Restored web root .env loading so web builds can still read root-level Vite environment variables after extension env isolation.
Themed tooltips now use lighter compact padding for short labels and richer bordered content only when the tooltip carries longer slot content.

Extension

Extension version metadata is synchronized to v2.11.4 and inherits the shared provider metadata updates.
Extension release builds now use an isolated env path and a dedicated secret check so root/web .env values cannot leak into the packaged extension release.

Core/Infra

Added Grok LLM and image adapters with registry coverage, default model wiring, compatibility conversion, and unit tests.
Added the Chrome built-in AI adapter, provider metadata, model defaults, availability helpers, and UI onboarding utilities with regression coverage.
Updated default model enablement so providers with no required connection fields do not auto-enable unless explicitly intended.
Moved the repository test gate into the develop branch workflow and added package-script coverage for release env checks.

Fixes

Fixed local providers being enabled by default even when no user configuration existed.
Fixed extension release builds accidentally inheriting web/root environment values.
Fixed web builds losing root env loading while separating extension release behavior.
Fixed Chrome built-in AI availability/session calls by forwarding the language options expected by the browser API.
Fixed visually heavy tooltip surfaces for short hints.

Breaking Changes / Upgrade Notes
