Extension release summary

🚀 Will release on merge

• content-health-monitor: 1.0.0 → 1.0.1

See the contributing guide for details.

We could just change all of these to new settings (might be another nudge to get folks to upgrade "look at all this new stuff"), but if this is rendering on the server, we should be able to detect which version of connect someone is on and show the old settings if they are on an older version and the new ones if they are on a newer one, yeah?

Good idea! Version detection is possible via the /v1/server_settings API (it returns a version field). The extension already has a Connect client, so we could query it during setup.

The tricky part is that even within the same Connect version, individual users can toggle between old and new settings via the preview feature (userPreviewNewSettings), so server version alone doesn't tell us which UI they're seeing.

Since minimumConnectVersion is already 2025.04.0 and the new drawer defaults to on, I think targeting the new UI is the right call here. The old settings pane will eventually be removed, and this gives users on the old UI a nudge to switch over.

Thanks @karawoo for the review and the version bump catch! I know you and @jonkeane were both leaning towards version detection, so I tried to implement it before settling on just targeting the new UI.

Here's a summary of the options I explored — I've pushed Option 2 as a prototype, but my lean is Option 1. Happy to keep Option 2 if you all think the version detection is worth it.

Option 1: New UI only (current/initial PR approach)
Replace all old UI references with the new UI.

✅ Simple, no additional logic
⚠️ Users on Connect < 2026.03.0 (down to our minimum supported 2025.04.0) will see instructions that don’t match their UI

Option 2: Server version detection (prototype implementation for evaluation)
Check client.version — if ≥ 2026.03.0 show new UI instructions, otherwise show old.

✅ No extra API calls (SDK already fetches /server_settings)
✅ Works for the vast majority of users
⚠️ Edge cases:
2026.02.x users who manually opted into new UI
2026.03.0+ users who opted out
⚠️ Requires maintaining both old + new screenshots/instructions (temporary overhead)

Option 3: User preference detection (GET /me)
Check preferences.user_preview_new_settings.

✅ 100% accurate
❌ Extra API call
❌ Outside v1 API surface
❌ Added complexity for relatively small edge cases
