Released Jul 27, 2026 - 159.96 KBWorks with firefox 142.0 and later, android 142.0 and laterLowvyn 7.11.1
Fixed: the on-page Lowvyn card no longer shows "Track this product" for a product you already track. If an item is in your tracked list (and synced to your account), the card now shows it as "Tracked" instead of asking you to track it again. The card's tracked state now matches your Tracked Items list in the popup.Source code released under All Rights Reserved

request body: {email, password, signupSource: "extension"}). - 8-character password hint - the password field now has minlength="8" + placeholder "Password (at least 8 characters)", matching the server's rule. Short passwords are caught inline by the browser
instead of a server round-trip.

What's new
Walmart pages now seed Lowvyn instantly. When you visit a Walmart product Lowvyn doesn't track yet, the extension shares the on-page product data so Lowvyn can score it on the spot. Previously, Walmart products would just show "we don't track this yet."
The score updates as you browse. Click between products on Walmart, Amazon, or Best Buy and the Lowvyn card now refreshes within ~1 second. Before, it would get stuck showing the previous product's score.
Better thumbnails on the Lowvyn website. Walmart products tracked via the extension now consistently carry a product image into your product history view.
Polish. Fixed button spacing in the expanded score card so "Buy via Lowvyn" no longer butts against the buttons above it.Source code released under All Rights Reserved

- "View full history on Lowvyn" secondary button in the expanded score card. The overlay's expanded card now carries an outlined indigo button below the primary "Buy via Lowvyn" affiliate CTA that deep-links to the matched product page at
lowvyn.com/product-detail/<id>. Rendered only when the scoreboard payload carries an itemId (no dead links). Opens in a new tab so the user's shopping session isn't interrupted. Tagged ?ref=extension so GA can segment this traffic distinctly from organic
/product-detail visits. Telemetry event overlay_product_link_click fires with the itemId for attribution. The extension can only ever show one retailer's view — this gives users a one-tap path to the cross-retailer comparison and full price-history chart on
the website. Outlined-button style (cta-secondary) was chosen over a filled one so the primary affiliate CTA stays unambiguously primary.
Changed- Release build now hard-fails on missing extension token. Every v7.x release shipped to date (v7.0..v7.4.1) bundled the literal placeholder LOWVYN_EXTENSION_TOKEN as the X-Lowvyn-Client-Token value because build_extension.sh warned-and-continued when
LOWVYN_EXTENSION_TOKEN was unset (confirmed by unzip -p on the v7.4.1 release zip). After CLIENT_AUTH_ENFORCE=true flipped on the server (2026-05-02), the placeholder fails client-auth for every gated /api/items call from logged-out users. The bypass is now
closed: build_extension.sh exits 1 if the env var is unset, equals the placeholder literal, or is shorter than 16 chars; it greps dist/*.js after substitution and unzips the final zip to verify the placeholder has been replaced everywhere. New
build_token_substitution.test.js pins the contract with 10 source-invariant tests so the bypass can't sneak back in. Local development without a token continues to work via npm run build (sideload-unpacked, no substitution). See
lowvyn-docs/current-implementations/client-auth.md → "Extension token resolution" for the bootstrap path.
