Prep for Chrome Web Store first submission. No code changes — v0.3.0 behaviour unchanged. - LICENSE — full GPL v2 text, matches RangerHQ WP family. - PRIVACY.md — canonical privacy policy. "Collects nothing, stores everything locally" using Google's data-category vocabulary so the Dashboard Privacy Practices tab can be ticked uniformly "does not collect" across all 9 categories. - WEB_STORE_SUBMISSION.md — paste-ready Dashboard copy: single-purpose statement, 132-char short + 1500-char detailed description, permission justifications for offscreen + storage + somafm.com host, build ZIP command, screenshot brief, post-approval update workflow. The public version of the privacy policy will live at davidtkeane.com/rangerhq-tuner/privacy (HTML mirror of PRIVACY.md).
