🔧 HOW IT WORKS:

1. CONTENT INJECTION (content.js)
   ├─ Runs on every webpage (all_urls match)
   ├─ Makes text elements contenteditable
   ├─ Adds visual styling with styles.css
   ├─ Detects blur events and auto-saves
   ├─ Loads saved edits on page load
   └─ Monitors for new dynamic content

2. STORAGE (chrome.storage.local)
   ├─ Key: "page_edits_<base64_encoded_url>"
   ├─ Value: { element_id: new_html, ... }
   ├─ Persists across sessions
   └─ ~10MB limit per domain

3. POPUP INTERFACE (popup.html/js)
   ├─ Shows edit count
   ├─ Save all changes button
   ├─ Clear all edits button
   ├─ Export edits as JSON
   └─ Keyboard shortcuts guide

4. BACKGROUND SERVICE WORKER (background.js)
   └─ Minimal - mostly handles popup interactions

═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

⌨️  KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS:

Ctrl+S (Cmd+S on Mac)          Save current edit
Ctrl+Shift+S (Cmd+Shift+S)     Save all edits on page
