[Rob--W]

The following two issues were part of the previous agenda but were not covered:

• Issue 547: Proposal: document browser.storage.managed initialization semantics and provide initialization event
• Issue 538: Proposal: RegisteredContentScript.workers property to inject WorkerScope(s)

There were many more non-covered issues, and during the last meeting @xeenon expressed the thought that we should perhaps have a label to distinguish issues that have been handled versus those that have not been.

Requesting discussion on https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/521.

This topic was slated for discussion under https://github.com/w3c/webextensions/issues/535, but I can't find any notes on it. Was it perhaps due to a strict time constraint?

Thank you, @Rob--W!

Requesting discussion about Side Panel ability to set min/max width programmatically in order to improve user experience on using Side Panel.

I couldn't find related issue on GitHub, but this was asked several times here: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-extensions/c/cJmdMLmpbjg/m/TUsOt2U8AQAJ

Thank you team, much appreciated.

Because there were more topics than we had time to cover, and the fact that Chrome is the only implementation of the sidePanel API, we decided to prioritize other topics over sidePanel a few meetings ago. The Chrome folks should chime in on the thread.
