feat: batch UX — Fast on Profile/Likes, date range, reset queue, step lights (v2.4.0)

[zendegani]

Batch-export UX improvements (v2.4.0), building on the merged Fast Batch (#70). Standard batch behavior is unchanged unless noted.

Fast Batch: more sources

• Profile and Likes now work in Fast, not just Bookmarks — same ~10× path. The timeline parser was generalized (robust source-agnostic timeline finder + module/self-thread cells). Profile skips reposts by default (detected structurally via retweeted_status_result, since a retweet's top-level author is the retweeter).
• Selection stays Standard-only — its tab is disabled while Fast is armed (Fast has no feed to paginate).

New sources & controls

• Timeline tab (Standard) — a 5th batch source exporting the posts loaded in your home feed (x.com/home), through the same worker-tab extractor as Bookmarks/Profile/Likes. Standard-only; the tab is disabled while Fast is armed (the home feed is HomeTimeline/HomeLatestTimeline — POST with cursor in the body, which Fast's GET-with-URL pagination engine doesn't support; deferred).
• Open page from the tab — when you're not on the right page, the Bookmarks and Timeline tabs show an Open Bookmarks / Open Timeline button that navigates the active x.com tab there (or opens a new tab) instead of a disabled dead-end. Standard still reads the loaded DOM, so you scroll then export. Profile/Likes keep the hint (per-account, no canonical URL without a handle).
• Date-range filter (Fast) — From/To bounds on the tweet date. Out-of-range posts are skipped before the per-item TweetDetail expansion, so X's ~150/15-min TweetDetail quota is spent only on in-range posts → reach older targets without soft-blocking. (Filters by tweet date; bumps feed page depth since Bookmarks/Likes are ordered by save date.)
• Reset queue — empties the gathered collection and restarts from the current scroll position, so you can begin a batch at a specific post. (Standard sources; injector XCLIPPER_HARVEST_RESET.)
• Reset history — renamed from the unclear "Reset dedup".
• Include reposts toggle — default off (own posts only); honored by both Standard (injector harvest filter) and Fast.
• Step status lights (Fast) — Page → Tweet → Fetch → Expand. Page/Tweet are red/green readiness lights (reload page / open one tweet) so you know what to do before Export; Fetch/Expand light up the live phase.

Layout & styling

• Batch Output selector moved above Format.
• Fast Batch bar flattened: red text (not a red fill), neutral (i) + BETA, and a plain red toggle — less wall-of-red while keeping Fast clearly marked.

Running-job display + reliability fixes

• A running job's progress now stays visible on every tab/page and is labeled with who/which is running (@handle · 2/6), Standard and Fast.
• Fast progress survives popup reopen (re-attaches to the background run; was lost because the popup is a fresh page each open).
• Fast reads the profile handle from the URL, not the injector — so it shows the name and filters reposts even when the page wasn't reloaded after an extension update.
• Fast captured auth + request templates persist to chrome.storage.session so they survive MV3 service-worker teardown between runs.
• Reset buttons grey out instead of hiding (stable layout); greyed via color, not opacity, so their tooltips stay readable (issue Tooltip on disabled options is half-transparent and unreadable #38).
• After an extension reload: URL-based tab focus + clickable "Reload the page" hint (a disabled button can't show its tooltip in Chrome); plain combined Fast precondition hint.
• Cancel writes only the items actually processed ("stop at 5" → ~5 files); the Fast lock hint shows only on a toggle attempt, not during any export.

Notes

• Version bumped 2.3.0 → 2.4.0; CHANGELOG updated.
• New pure logic (timeline finder/module parse, date filter, repost detection) is unit-tested — 194 tests pass; tsc --noEmit + build green.
• Profile/Likes GraphQL response shapes are schema-modeled (Bookmarks was validated against a real capture); the parser is defensive and was exercised live, but worth a reviewer's eye.
