fix: recognise the popup when a browser opens it in a tab - #2
Merged

Conversation
Kiwi on Android is Chromium with nowhere to float a browser-action panel, so it
renders popup.html inside an ordinary tab. Two things assumed the desktop shape
and broke there.
The worker identified the popup as "no tab, and exactly the popup URL", so on
Kiwi every privileged request came back "This operation is not available to
content scripts" — settings would not load or save. A tab is not what makes a
caller a content script; coming from a page that is not the extension's own is.
The check now tests that, which also tolerates a query string on the URL.
The popup read the site under it from the active tab in the current window,
which on Kiwi is the popup's own tab, so neither the X nor the YouTube section
would appear. It now skips the extension's own pages and, when that leaves
nothing, falls back to the most recently touched tab on a site Sharp filters.
Both comparisons are prefix tests against getURL(''), not URL.origin. A test
written against origin passed another extension's page: chrome-extension: is
not a special scheme, so the standard parser gives every such URL the origin
"null" and they all compare equal. Only sender.id stood between that and a
privileged call.
A browser with no keyboard shortcuts to bind need not offer the API, which is the ordinary case on Android. Both uses read through it unguarded. The popup called chrome.commands.getAll() inside an effect, where an absent API throws synchronously, before the rejection handler it was given could apply — taking the X panel down with it. The worker registered its onCommand listener at module scope, after the message listener, so messages survived but the rest of the module did not evaluate. The test covers the worker: it fails with the listener registration unguarded.

Restrict the active-tab fast path to supported sites. Bruce found the smoking gun: readerTab returns any active non-extension URL before it checks lastAccessed. If an unrelated site is active when Sharp opens, App receives that URL, does not select a site, and skips the recent supported-tab fallback. Return the active URL only when it matches filtered, then select the most recently accessed supported tab.

readerTab returns the active tab whatever site it is on, and only searches for a recently touched supported tab when the active tab was the popup itself. That ordering is deliberate and easy to mistake for a missing filter, so pin it. A floating popup sits over the page the reader is looking at, so an active tab on an unrelated site is the honest answer that they are not on a site Sharp filters. Preferring a background X tab over it would put the X panel, and the thread toggle with it, in front of someone reading something else. The search is not a better guess; it is the only guess available on a browser that gives the popup a tab of its own and so leaves no page to read. Filtering the active tab by site breaks two of these, including the prefix case that covers an extension ID ours is a prefix of.
