  Automatically adds travel time blocks to your Google Calendar so you know when to leave.
  
  Stop padding your calendar or guessing when to leave. LeaveBy calculates your drive time and blocks it on your calendar automatically — so you know exactly when to head out and you're never late.
  
  Features:
  - Real drive times — uses Google Maps Distance Matrix, not guesses
  - Automatic calendar blocks — shows as [LeaveBy] events before your appointments
  - Departure reminders — optional notifications when it's time to leave
  - Buffer time — add extra minutes for parking, walking, or coffee
  - Background scanning — checks your calendar every 30 minutes
  - Private by design — your address stays in local Chrome storage, no accounts, no tracking
  
  Early adopters get all premium features free — forever!
  
  How it works:
  1. Connect your Google Calendar
  2. Set your home address
  3. LeaveBy scans your upcoming events, calculates drive times using Google Maps, and creates travel blocks automatically
  
  
  
  Release Notes
  LeaveBy v1.5.0 — Drift Detection for Rescheduled Events & Settings
  
  What's New
  Automatic travel block updates
  LeaveBy now detects when a calendar event or your settings have changed and automatically replaces stale travel blocks with corrected ones.
  
  Previously, if you rescheduled a meeting (different time, day, or location), the old travel block stayed put — you'd leave too early or too late. Now, each scan compares existing blocks against their parent events and your current settings, and rebuilds any that are out of date.
  
  What triggers an update
  | Change | Example |
  | Event rescheduled | Meeting moved from 2pm to 3pm |
  | Event relocated | Venue changed to a new address |
  | Travel block color changed | Switched from Gray to Blue in settings |
  | Busy/Free toggled | Changed from "Show as busy" to "Show as free" |
  | Buffer time changed | Enabled buffer or changed from 10 to 15 min |
  | Reminder changed | Enabled/disabled or changed reminder minutes |
  
  Scan result feedback
  The popup now shows how many blocks were updated (e.g., "Updated 2 rescheduled.") alongside the existing created count.
