Someone who installs the extension from a store and skips the host saw only "Host not running".

  • The worker classifies the browser's disconnect message as a missing host or one that refuses this copy of the extension, and clears it once the host answers.
  • The popup shows "Host not installed" or "Host needs an update" with an Install the host button that opens the README's install section.
  • A host that merely stopped keeps the existing reconnect notice.
  • User-visible popup text names the extension Tailtab.

Checked in Edge with a missing host and with a host whose manifest does not list the extension's ID.

…ink to the install steps; show the name as Tailtab
