v2.0 | Simplified & Streamlined

• Faster, leaner architecture: removed the background script entirely; the extension now uses fewer moving parts and less inter-process messaging.
• More reliable state tracking: progress and status are now managed in one place, eliminating rare cases where the popup could show stale or contradictory info.
• Better privacy: removed external Google Fonts dependency; the extension no longer makes any third-party network requests.
• Improved cancellation: stopping mid-run is now more responsive and consistent.
• Visible status messages: the popup now shows what the extension is doing during scrolling, validation, and error recovery.

No changes to core functionality: coupon clipping, auto-scrolling, retry logic, and validation all work the same as before.
