Troubleshooting

• "Failed to read page" on Google Docs: ensure the extension has host permission for docs.google.com (Chrome prompts on first load)
• "Failed to send": verify the webhook server is running (curl http://localhost:3847/health)
• Extension not extracting tweets cleanly: reload the extension after updates (chrome://extensions refresh button)
