Gemini Power-Up (ES6 Modular)

Release Note: Modular Architecture Proof-of-Concept (ES6 ES6 Modular Refactoring)
This specific release is an architectural variation of the Gemini Power-Up extension. The primary goal of this version is to demonstrate a strictly modular approach to complex UI management.

Technical Overview: Settings Module Refactoring
In this version, the monolithic settings.js has been completely refactored into five distinct ES6 modules to follow the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP):

settings-config.js: Centralized configuration, constants, and default state management.

settings-template.js: Decoupled HTML templates and SVG assets to keep the logic files clean.

settings-logic.js: Core data processing, storage access, and validation logic.

settings-ui.js: Dedicated UI component rendering and event binding orchestration.

settings-main.js: The main entry point that handles initialization and module lifecycle.

Architectural Decision: Monolithic vs. Modular
While this modular structure significantly improves code maintainability and developer experience, the production version of the extension continues to utilize a consolidated file structure.

The reasoning is performance-driven: In a Chrome Extension environment, minimizing file fetch overhead is critical for a "snappy" user interface. Loading a single, optimized file is faster and more reliable than handling multiple asynchronous module imports during the extension's popup or settings injection.

This release exists to showcase the underlying modular design capability, proving that the system is built on a scalable foundation, even when delivered in a performance-optimized monolithic format.
