# v1.0.29 Post-Release Closeout

Date: 2026-07-09

## Summary

`v1.0.29` has been distributed to npm, GitHub Release, the hosted userscript, and the official website fallback extension download. The release addresses the video export regressions reported in issue #97 and the packaged npm CLI video path reported in issue #104.

Chrome Web Store is the only remaining waiting surface. At closeout time its update endpoint still reported `1.0.28`, so store propagation/review must be checked separately from the already published website and GitHub assets.

## Issue Follow-Up

Issue #97 was commented and closed as completed after `v1.0.29` was published:

- Issue: https://github.com/GargantuaX/gemini-watermark-remover/issues/97
- Comment: https://github.com/GargantuaX/gemini-watermark-remover/issues/97#issuecomment-4923136353

Release notes were updated to mention the #97 follow-up:

- added BT.709 limited-range video export metadata
- added source-structure protection around video watermark cleanup
- recorded that website distribution smoke passed
- noted that Chrome Web Store propagation was still waiting

## Remaining Follow-Up

Re-run the distribution check after Chrome Web Store approves or propagates `1.0.29`:

```bash
pnpm release:distribution-check
```

The release can be considered fully complete when `chrome-web-store-update` reports `1.0.29` and the distribution report moves from `overall: waiting` to `overall: ok`.
