Research direction

Start with the linked GitHub Actions log at step 5 and identify which workflow command or extension configuration triggers the Firefox warning. Trace that back to the relevant WXT entry point or configuration, then check Firefox’s requirements for data_collection_permissions. Done means the warning is avoided in the workflow without breaking extension builds.
