Why the extension needs these permissions

SettingWhat it does
alarmsWakes the extension on a timer to check your wallets. New-version Chrome extensions have no persistent background process, so this is the only reliable way to schedule work.
storageSaves query progress, rate-limit state, your API key, and paper-trading account data. The background can be reclaimed by the browser at any time, so anything not saved to storage is lost.
idleThe break reminder needs to know how long you have been sitting continuously — the Server cannot read system idle time. It only sees whether you are present or away and for how long; it does not record what you are doing.
contextMenusAdds a right-click menu to the extension icon only. It does not read page content.
notificationsDisplays system notifications on your computer for events such as Drawdown breaker triggers, profit locks, to-do reminders, and price alerts.
offscreenPlays a Sound when an alert pops up. The extension background cannot produce audio on its own, so it uses a hidden page to do so.
ttsUses the browser's built-in speech engine to read alerts aloud — the alert types for which Voice is enabled.
declarativeNetRequestWithHostAccessRedirects you to the "Hold on" page when you open a trading site during a Drawdown breaker period. Rules are only installed during a Drawdown breaker period and only affect navigation to those specific sites; page content is not read.

Trading sites you add yourself (optional permission)When you add a site in Drawdown breaker settings, an "Allow blocking of newly added sites" button appears on the extension settings page. The extension only requests permission for those sites if you click that button. If you do not click it, no additional permissions are requested.
