LootScout 1.1.3

-Smarter Steam permission flow
The options popup now checks for Steam access as soon as it opens. If the origin isn’t granted, you’ll see a clear “Grant Steam Permission” prompt and the settings remain disabled until approval, so it’s obvious what to do.

-No wasted API calls
Background requests now stop before contacting Steam or GG.deals when permission is missing, preventing token burn and unnecessary rate limits.

-Tooltip and rarity fixes
Hover tooltips render reliably in Firefox and keep their position from the first hover. In the rarity tooltip, the playtime line is greyed out with a strikethrough for recently released games, and rarity calculations skip the playtime modifier for fresh releases to avoid low initial playtime affecting scores.

-Manifest and build refresh
Host patterns now require https://, and both Chrome and Firefox bundles were rebuilt from the current codebase.

Enjoy smoother setup and faster feedback every time you open LootScout!
