🔐 Security Notice

Your PAT is stored securely in your browser's local storage and is only used to communicate with the GitHub API. It is never sent to any third-party server. For added security, you can revoke the token from your GitHub settings after use.

---

🛠️ Troubleshooting

• Error: Bad credentials
  Ensure your username and PAT are correct and that the token has the required scopes.

• Error: Failed to fetch
  This may be due to network issues or GitHub API downtime. Try again later.

• Extension not appearing
  Confirm Developer mode is enabled and the correct folder was selected during installation.
