Change Log: v1.0.3 - Fixed room routing so messages stay scoped to the correct room and host state follows the active room owner. - Hardened server validation for room IDs, URL sync payloads, protocol versions, and browser extension origins. - Added per-IP connection limits, safer shutdown handling, and clearer fatal error handling for rate limits, room limits, and version mismatches. - Fixed reconnect and URL-navigation races that could leave clients stuck, double-broadcast navigation, or retry forever after fatal server errors. - Improved video sync reliability with safer active-video detection, seek handling, playback-rate normalization, and remote-time compensation. v1.0.2 - Rewrote video sync architecture for reliable cross-browser playback synchronization. Fixed echo loops causing play/pause jitter. Added URL validation for navigation commands. Improved drift correction with command cooldown. Removed unused permissions. v1.0.1: Improved connection stability for smoother sync Fixed keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+H) to work reliably on all streaming sites
