 All notable user-facing changes to `pi-chrome`.
 
+## 0.15.8 — 2026-05-14
+
+- **Simpler `/chrome` submenus.** Authorize menu now offers 15 minutes, 30 minutes, indefinite, and custom minutes only. Background menu now offers only foreground/background. Esc from a submenu returns to the main `/chrome` menu.

 ## 0.15.7 — 2026-05-14
 
 - **Grouped `/chrome` menu.** Bare `/chrome` now opens a status dashboard with grouped actions: authorize, lock, status, doctor, background/watch mode, and onboard. Authorize/background open submenus instead of showing one flat command list.
