RecFix v2.5.0 - Performance & Bonus Update

This update significantly improves performance, streamlines the user interface, and introduces a new reward system for our users.

🚀 Performance & Discovery

• High-Efficiency Shorts Filter: Moved filtering to the YouTube API level (videoDuration=medium). This makes the extension 2x faster and saves quota by only fetching relevant long-form videos.
• Doubled Recommendations: We now fetch 50 videos per scan to ensure you always have a fresh, high-quality feed.
• Robust Injection: Improved the feed replacement logic to prevent the "stuck loading" issue.

🎯 New Features

• Integrated Settings: Access all your preferences (API Key, Shorts Toggle, Developer Mode) directly inside the popup. The separate options page has been removed for a cleaner experience.
• Bonus Fix System: Get 2 free fixes daily, plus unlock 3 bonus fixes instantly by leaving a review on the Chrome Web Store.
• Streamlined UI: Removed the underused "Manual Mode" to focus on the core "Scan & Fix" experience.

🛠️ Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the review link didn't grant bonus fixes correctly.
• Fixed the "Applying to YouTube" hang that occasionally occurred during the second scan.
• Corrected the Chrome Web Store link to point directly to the RecFix store page.
