v0.3.0 - VS Code extension self-sufficient release

Codetalker VS Code Extension v0.3.0 — first standalone release with the daemon's full feature surface.

Install: download codetalker-0.3.0.vsix below and run code --install-extension codetalker-0.3.0.vsix.

Requires Python 3.11+ with pip install claude-code-talker. See STATUS.md in the extension for known limitations.

What you get

• 12 Command Palette commands (was 2 in 0.2.0)
• Silent Claude Code hook auto-install on first activation
• API key storage via OS keychain (vscode.SecretStorage) — no more plaintext YAML on Windows
• Cross-platform daemon process management
• Multiple concurrent Claude Code sessions are properly isolated — narrations no longer bleed across folders

Daemon-side companion shipped alongside

• Phase 13 — Virtual user evaluation system + auto-tuning + Settings → Eval tab
• Phase 13.5 — Narrator context enrichment (file paths in events, per-session task header, recent user requests)
• Phase 13.6 — Session-scoped narrate (cross-talk fix, toggle-respect, cold-start mute)
• Phase 13.7 — Assistant prose injection from transcript + UI polish (instant mute icon, flashing-border indicators, URL stripping, cold-start mute)

Python tests: 630. Extension tests: 20.
