…ng (Chrome-149-gated) DevTools 148 added a 5-tool Extensions category to chrome-devtools-mcp (verified v1.1.1: list_extensions / reload_extension / trigger_extension_action / install_extension / uninstall_extension behind --categoryExtensions). The tools only work over a pipe connection; attach mode (browserUrl/wsEndpoint/ autoConnect) is unsupported until Chrome 149. This skill debugs an already-running Chrome (attach mode), so the live bridge extension can't be inspected until 149 ships (local Chrome is 148.0.7778.181). Adds a Known Issues subsection with the cheap version re-check command and the planned list_extensions/reload_extension diagnostic to wire in once Chrome >= 149, ahead of the 0.sock symlink surgery / manual re-auth path. Bumps skill to v1.1.3. Card: https://trello.com/c/0nfcts9J Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Code Review
This pull request updates the SKILL.md documentation to version 1.1.3 and adds a section detailing future diagnostics using chrome-devtools-mcp extension debugging tools once Chrome 149 is released. The review feedback points out that the defaults read command used to check the Chrome version on macOS should omit the .plist extension to avoid potential lookup failures.

Using defaults read with a .plist extension can fail on macOS because the defaults utility automatically appends .plist to the path, resulting in a search for Info.plist.plist. To ensure compatibility and avoid errors, omit the .plist extension from the path.

Documents the DevTools 148 / chrome-devtools-mcp v1.1.1 Extensions tool category in the
fix-chrome-connectionskill.What changed: new Known Issues subsection + skill bump v1.1.2 → v1.1.3.
Why it's documentation, not active wiring: the extension tools (
list_extensions,reload_extension, ...) only work over a pipe connection. Attach mode (browserUrl/wsEndpoint/autoConnect) is unsupported until Chrome 149, and this skill debugs an already-running Chrome (attach mode). Local Chrome is 148.0.7778.181, so the live-bridge diagnostic is gated until 149 ships.The section records: the cheap version re-check command, and the planned
list_extensions/reload_extensionservice-worker diagnostic to wire in ahead of the0.socksymlink surgery once Chrome ≥ 149.Card: https://trello.com/c/0nfcts9J
