The bundled manifest does not include the 'identity' permission, which is listed in the published CWS manifest. Additionally, it lacks several web_accessible_resources present in the published manifest (e.g., 'gdocs.css', 'settings.html', 'google-docs.html', 'pdf-injection.js'). These discrepancies may be due to version differences but could indicate that the analyzed version is older than the live extension.
