The extension is now published (ID: mkiffclapimhbjjlgkndlillglopbcic). Drop the pinned "key" field from manifest.json (the Store rejects it anyway) and use the Store-assigned ID everywhere instead of juggling two IDs: native-host/com.kget_capture.host.json's allowed_origins, keys/extension-id.txt, and docs. This also removes the need for a separate key-stripped release zip, since there's no key left to strip.

Extension ID
extension-id.txt holds the extension's one canonical ID,
mkiffclapimhbjjlgkndlillglopbcic, assigned by the Chrome Web Store on
first publish. It's hardcoded into
native-host/com.kget_capture.host.json's allowed_origins, which is what
lets the native host trust connections from the extension without asking
each user to paste their own ID.
extension/manifest.json intentionally has no "key" field: the Chrome Web
Store dashboard rejects any manifest that includes one ("key field is not
allowed in manifest"), since it assigns its own permanent ID on first
publish instead.
kget-capture-private.pem / kget-capture-public.der / kget-capture-public.b64
are leftover from an earlier approach that pinned a separate ID for unpacked
installs via a local key pair. They're no longer referenced anywhere (the
.pem was never committed; see .gitignore) and can be ignored or removed.
Implication for local "Load unpacked" development
Since there's no pinned key, Chrome derives an unpacked install's ID from a
hash of its local path, which won't match
mkiffclapimhbjjlgkndlillglopbcic and differs per machine/checkout. To test
an unpacked build against the native host locally, add your own unpacked
ID to allowed_origins in ~/.config/<browser>/NativeMessagingHosts/com.kget_capture.host.json
after running install.sh (Chrome shows the unpacked ID on
chrome://extensions once loaded).
