+# Feature: Patch release version bump to 0.5.1
+
+## Feature Description
+
+Bump browser.cpp's release metadata from `0.5.0` to `0.5.1` so the next extension package reflects a patch release after the Settings drawer theme-preview fix. The value in `manifest.json` remains the canonical project version, with npm metadata kept in sync.
+
+## User Story
+
+As a browser.cpp maintainer
+I want to publish a patch version bump
+So that the next release clearly identifies the latest patched extension build
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+The latest merged fix is still represented by the previous release version `0.5.0` on `main`. Release packaging and user-visible extension metadata need a patch increment to `0.5.1`.
+
+## Solution Statement
+
+Update the canonical extension version in `manifest.json` to `0.5.1`, then keep `package.json` and both package-lock root version fields aligned with that value. Validate with the repo's version-sync checks plus the standard lint, build, and E2E commands.
+
+## Relevant Files
+
+Use these files to implement the feature:
+
+- `manifest.json` - Canonical Chrome extension manifest version used by the runtime and release packaging.
+- `package.json` - npm package metadata that must match the manifest version.
+- `package-lock.json` - lockfile metadata with top-level and root-package versions that must match the manifest version.
+- `scripts/sync-version-from-manifest.js` - Existing version alignment check used to validate the metadata.
+- `scripts/check-release-version-sync.js` - Release validation for source and built manifest/package version agreement.
+- `scripts/e2e-release-packaging.test.mjs` - Existing E2E coverage for version sync and release packaging behavior.
+
+### New Files
+
+- `specs/issue-109-20261009-sdlc_planner-release-0.5.1.md` - This implementation plan.
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Foundation
+
+Confirm the current release version on `main`, verify that `manifest.json` is the canonical source, and create GitHub Issue #109 as the source of truth for the release bump.
+
+### Phase 2: Core Implementation
+
+Update `manifest.json`, `package.json`, and `package-lock.json` from `0.5.0` to `0.5.1` without changing dependencies, runtime code, or build configuration.
+
+### Phase 3: Integration
+
+Run version synchronization, release version checks, lint, build, and E2E validation. Open a pull request from a release branch that closes Issue #109.
+
+## Step by Step Tasks
+
+IMPORTANT: Execute every step in order, top to bottom.
+
+### 1. Confirm Current Version State
+
+- Read `manifest.json`, `package.json`, and `package-lock.json`.
+- Confirm `main` reports `0.5.0` before the bump.
+- Confirm no runtime source files need changes.
+
+### 2. Update Version Metadata
+
+- Set `manifest.json` version to `0.5.1`.
+- Set `package.json` version to `0.5.1`.
+- Set `package-lock.json` top-level version to `0.5.1`.
+- Set `package-lock.json` `packages[""].version` to `0.5.1`.
+
+### 3. Validate Version Alignment
+
+- Run the version sync check.
+- Run the release version check after build output exists.
+- Confirm no unintended file changes are present.
+
+### 4. Run Standard Validation
+
+- Run every command in the Validation Commands section.
+- Fix only release-metadata issues if any command fails.
+
+### 5. Publish Review Artifacts
+
+- Commit the release bump and plan.
+- Push a release branch.
+- Open a PR that references `closes #109`.
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+No new unit tests are required because this is static release metadata. Existing release/version tests already cover version synchronization, mismatch detection, and package metadata alignment.
+
+### Edge Cases
+
+- `manifest.json` changes but npm metadata does not.
+- `package-lock.json` top-level version changes but `packages[""].version` does not.
+- Build output manifests retain an old version.
+- Release checks run before build output exists.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- `manifest.json` reports `0.5.1`.
+- `package.json` reports `0.5.1`.
+- `package-lock.json` reports `0.5.1` for both root version fields.
+- Version sync and release sync checks pass.
+- Lint, build, and standard E2E tests pass.
+- A pull request is opened and linked with `closes #109`.
+
+## Validation Commands
+
+Execute every command to validate the feature works correctly with zero regressions.
+
+```bash
+npm run version:check
+npm run lint
+npm run build
+npm run release:check-version
+npm run test:e2e
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- This patch bump intentionally does not modify runtime code.
+- Browser smoke tests are not required for this metadata-only change; the standard E2E release packaging tests cover the version logic.
