🚨 Severity: HIGH
πŸ’‘ Vulnerability: The application was accepting arbitrarily large payloads from content scripts and storing them directly in chrome.storage.session via the CACHE_START_CONFIG message handler without any length validation.
🎯 Impact: chrome.storage.session has a strict quota (typically 1MB). If a malicious or malfunctioning script sends overly large payloads, it could exhaust the extension's storage quota, causing a Denial of Service (DoS) and potentially breaking functionality.
πŸ”§ Fix: Added payload length validation. If JSON.stringify(msg.config).length exceeds 100KB, the request is rejected with a security error.
βœ… Verification: pnpm test successfully executes the test suite, including a newly added test that explicitly tests this size limit behavior.

Added payload size validation to the `CACHE_START_CONFIG` message handler
to prevent potential Denial of Service (DoS) caused by abnormally large payloads
exhausting the `chrome.storage.session` quota.
