Research direction
Explore squoosh's existing codec integration pattern in the codebase (e.g., how image codecs like WebP are added). Study SVGOMG's source to understand its optimization logic and UI. Then propose a plan to break this major task into smaller, concrete sub tasks such as adding SVG file type detection, implementing the optimization API, and creating a UI component for SVG options.
