Is Glance - Automatically rename downloaded file safe?
Glance sends PDF title candidates and the active tab title to BigModel when it renames PDF downloads.
Glance watches downloads and, for PDFs, fetches the file, reads metadata and first-page text, and combines those title candidates with the active tab title and default filename. It sends that prompt to BigModel's chat-completions API to choose a better downloaded filename, using a hardcoded Bearer API key in the background script.
