- **`www/` is auto-generated**: Never edit files in `www/` directly. Always edit source files (`template.html`, `style.css`, `app.js`, `lang-init.js`, `locales/*.json`) and run `node website/build.js` to regenerate.

### Making Website Changes
1. Edit source files in `website/` (`template.html`, `style.css`, `app.js`, `lang-init.js`, or `locales/*.json`).
2. Run the compiler: `node website/build.js`. This generates the multilingual pages in `www/` and minifies CSS/JS.
3. Verify the output: `node --check website/www/app.js && node --check website/www/lang-init.js`.
4. Test locally: `npx serve website/www` or `python3 -m http.server 8080 -d website/www`.
5. Commit both source changes and the updated `www/` output.
### Testing Locally
1. Run the build script: `node scripts/build-extension.js`.
2. Load `dist/chrome/` as an "Unpacked Extension" in Chrome (or `dist/firefox/` in Firefox).
