Tommy D. Rossi 1ced689153 extension: remove chrome.alarms keepalive and alarms permission
The alarm added in 0.0.73 was a no-op — the maintainLoop while(true) + sleep(1000)
and setInterval(checkMemory, 5000) already keep the service worker alive.
Removing it drops the unnecessary alarms permission from the manifest.

Bumps extension to 0.0.75.

# Changelog
## 0.0.75
### Changes
- **Remove `alarms` permission and keepalive**: Removed `chrome.alarms` keepalive added in 0.0.73. The `maintainLoop` while-loop and `setInterval(checkMemory)` already keep the service worker alive. The alarm was a no-op that required an unnecessary permission.
## 0.0.74
### Bug Fixes
- **Fix Target.detachFromTarget routing on root CDP session**: Commands sent without a top-level sessionId (e.g. from Playwright's root browser session) now resolve the target tab via `params.sessionId` fallback. Previously the extension threw "No tab found" which caused cascading disconnects and instability. (#40)
- **No-op stale Target.detachFromTarget**: Unknown or already-cleaned-up sessions return `{}` instead of throwing, preventing error cascading during rapid connect/disconnect cycles.
- **Always re-apply tab group color**: Tab group title and color are now re-applied on every sync to prevent Chrome from resetting them to white/unlabeled.
## 0.0.73
### Bug Fixes
- **Service worker keepalive via chrome.alarms**: Added `chrome.alarms` keepalive to prevent Chrome MV3 from terminating the service worker when idle. Without this, the `maintainLoop` stops, the WebSocket closes, and the extension silently disconnects from the relay server — causing `session new` to fail with "Extension did not connect within timeout."
## 0.0.72
### Bug Fixes
- **Use runtime-scoped root CDP tab session IDs**: Root tab sessions now use `pw-tab-<scope>-<n>` instead of `pw-tab-<n>`, where scope is a random value generated once per extension runtime. This prevents session ID collisions across multiple connected Chrome profiles.
## 0.0.71
### Bug Fixes
- **Route Runtime.enable to child CDP sessions**: Runtime enable/disable now uses the incoming `sessionId` when targeting OOPIF child sessions instead of always using the tab root session. This fixes missing `Runtime.executionContextCreated` events for child iframe targets, which could cause iframe locator operations to hang.
## 0.0.69
### Features
- **First extension keeps connection**: When multiple Playwriter extensions are installed, the actively-used one (with tabs) now keeps the connection. New extensions are rejected with code 4002 instead of taking over.
- **Smarter reconnection**: Extension now polls `/extension/status` for `activeTargets` count and only attempts reconnection when the other extension has no active tabs.
### Bug Fixes
- **Proper state handling for 4002 rejection**: Fixed issue where extension would keep retrying forever when rejected during WebSocket handshake. Now correctly enters `extension-replaced` polling state.
## 0.0.68
### Bug Fixes
- **Improved connection reliability**: Use `127.0.0.1` instead of `localhost` to avoid DNS/IPv6 resolution issues
- **Global connection timeout**: Added 15-second global timeout wrapper around `connect()` to prevent hanging forever when individual timeouts fail
- **Better WebSocket handling**: Added `settled` flag to properly handle timeout/open/error/close race conditions
### Changes
- **Faster retry loop**: Reduced retry attempts from 30 to 5 since `maintainLoop` retries every 3 seconds anyway
- **Allow own extension pages**: Added `OUR_EXTENSION_IDS` to allow attaching to our own extension pages while blocking other extensions
## 0.0.67
