🧠 How it Works

1. Trigger: User initiates a summary via icon or context menu.
2. Transfer: The extension captures the URL or selected text and opens notebooklm.google.com.
3. Automation: controller.js waits for the UI to be ready, injects the content, and submits the prompt.
4. Monitoring: The extension tracks the generation status and updates the tab title and toast notifications accordingly.
