🆕 Key Changes vs. Original Version

Compared to the original release, this version introduces major localization and usability improvements:

1. Full Russian i18n Support:
   • Added complete _locales/ru/messages.json with 64 translated keys.
   • Expanded _locales/en/messages.json for full key parity.
   • Converted manifest.json fields (name, description, default_title) to standard __MSG_*__ placeholders.
   • Set default_locale to "ru".
2. Translated UI Bundles:
   • Translated over 270+ UI strings directly across 12 compiled JavaScript bundles (popup, session manager, side view, options, bookmark view, window graph, options, test view, and empty tab views).
   • Translated all 13 HTML <title> tags to Russian.
   • Translated contextual tab menus, tooltips, filter toggles, action buttons, dialogs, and settings descriptions.
3. Updated Checksum Digests:
   • Recalculated and updated SHA1 and SHA256 digests across META-INF/cose.manifest, META-INF/manifest.mf, and META-INF/mozilla.sf for clean add-on package verification.
4. Header & Status Adjustments:
   • Updated trial mode status badge from "Trial Mode" ("Пробный режим") to "Pro version" ("Pro версия") navigating to account settings.
