This ONE control replaces the former `openFlash`, `autoFlash`, and `agentActivity` toggles.

The window is no longer re-parked — off-screen birth means pup no longer needs a foreground-steal watchdog; this is now purely the "not me" caption. |  ## Credential vault — pup manages your logins (no Chrome dialog)
