Free AI 5/Min Burst Upgrade, Ultra-Minimal 5-Permission Architecture, In-Page Shadow DOM Toasts & Interactive Sandbox Overhaul
Increases the Zero-Setup Free AI burst rate limit to 5 requests per minute (50 requests/day) with full 22-language translations, reduces extension permissions down to only 5 essential permissions (removing downloads, browsingData, and notifications while preserving 100% of features), hardens background service worker error handling, and completely overhauls the interactive documentation and live testing sandbox.
⚡
Upgraded Free AI Burst Limit (5 Requests/Min + 50/Day): Increased the per-minute burst cap from 3/min to 5 requests/minute alongside 50 free requests/day and unlimited developer quotes, with localized rate-limit status messages across all 22 languages.
🛡️
Ultra-Minimal 5-Permission Footprint: Removed downloads, browsingData, and notifications permissions. Screenshots, QR PNGs, and media exports now use pure client-side Anchor/Blob downloads; Hard Reload uses chrome.tabs.reload({ bypassCache: true }); and background alerts use isolated Shadow DOM in-page toasts.
🧪
Interactive Documentation & Sandbox Hub Overhaul: Unified Dark/Light + 7-Accent theme engine across all pages, added a 1-click Keyboard Shortcut setup guide (chrome://extensions/shortcuts), fixed live arena DOM observers, and added an Arabic ↔ English keyboard fixer testbed.
🧱
Modular Architecture & Automated Test Suite: Deduplicated shared i18n and theme modules (src/utils/i18n.js, src/utils/theme.js), hardened asynchronous message handlers against unhandled promise rejections, and expanded automated validation suite.
