golem b59648d900 doc: add implementation plan for the options panel
Five tasks, each ending in an independently testable deliverable: tooling
plus settings validation, the pure URL builder, manifest and background
wiring, the options panel, then docs and release metadata.

Complete code for every file, 27 unit tests written out in full, and exact
commands with expected output. Global Constraints carries the spec's
verified values verbatim -- the exact permission set, strict_min_version
112.0, MAX_URL_CHARS 8000, and the copy rules that keep user-facing text
honest about ChatGPT only prefilling.

Records the traps verification found so an implementer cannot walk into
them: executeScript resolving silently to [null] on parent-process about:
pages, commands.getAll() reporting a shortcut registered when Firefox has
overridden it, and node --test exiting 0 with zero tests discovered.

Closes with an out-of-scope list so a well-meaning implementer does not
re-add auto-submit or omnibox, and a pre-PR reminder about the open AMO
data-collection question.

Search with ChatGPT Powered by OpenAI Firefox Extension

This extension adds ChatGPT as a configurable Firefox search provider. Type gpt <query> in the address bar to open the query in a new ChatGPT session. It uses no API key, custom server, or intermediary handler.

This is an unofficial extension provided by Zavage Software Inc.

See LICENSE.txt for licensing terms.

Browser Support

Firefox Desktop is the current development and release target. Chrome, Brave, other Chromium browsers, and additional WebExtension platforms may be evaluated after the Firefox feature set is more substantial; they are not current targets.

Development

Install Node.js 22 or newer, Firefox, and the locked development dependencies:

npm ci

Available commands:

  • npm run dev launches the extension in a temporary Firefox profile and reloads it when files change.
  • npm run lint validates the extension and treats warnings as errors.
  • npm run build creates web-ext-artifacts/search-with-chatgpt-firefox-<version>.zip.
  • npm test runs the same lint and build checks used by Gitea Actions.

The generated ZIP is unsigned. Use npm run dev for local testing; signing and submission to Mozilla Add-ons remain a separate release step.

Before submitting a change, confirm that gpt <query> opens https://chatgpt.com?q=<query>, the provider remains non-default, and it can be configured in Firefox search settings.
