Data leaves device: no by default in current v1 direction.
Local-first: yes where practical.

This page documents the planned v1 permission posture for Refine before Chrome Web Store submission.

Status: Scoped. No public install link until implementation and release review pass.

activeTab	Expected so Refine can access the current page only after the user intentionally invokes the extension, instead of requesting broad access to every site by default.
scripting	Expected if v1 injects the readability workflow into the active tab after user action.
storage	Expected for local preferences such as type size, reading width, and theme.
