 ### Releasing a New Version (CRITICAL WORKFLOW FOR AI AGENTS)
 > [!CAUTION]
 > **AI AGENTS MUST FOLLOW THIS EXACT SEQUENCE WHEN RELEASING A NEW VERSION OR TAGGING.**

+> 
+> **🚫 NO MANUAL VERSION BUMPING**: You MUST **NEVER** manually modify the version strings in `package.json`, `extension/manifest.base.json`, or `website/version.json`. The GitHub Actions CI pipeline automatically extracts the version from the git tag (e.g. `v2.0.5` -> `2.0.5`), injects it into all target files, and commits the updates back to `main` with `[skip ci]`. Manual bumps will cause merge conflicts and build failures.
 > - **Website Versioning**: **NEVER** manually modify the version fallback strings in `website/index.html`. The website dynamically fetches the latest version and release date from `website/version.json` at runtime using `website/app.js`. Manual bumps in the HTML file are completely redundant and should be avoided.
 1. **MANDATORY SYNTAX & LINT CHECKS**: Before staging, committing, or pushing any changes, you **MUST** run both checks on every modified JavaScript file:
    - **Syntax Validation**: Run `node -c` on every single modified JavaScript file (e.g., `node -c extension/background.js` and `node -c extension/content.js`). **NEVER** commit or push code that fails this check.
