fix(extension): return true from message listener to keep channel open

ashtonchew · ashtonchew · commit 4fb84d0a2972 · 2025-10-02T14:48:30.000-07:00
- Chrome extensions require return true when using sendResponse asynchronously - Without it, message channel closes immediately causing chrome.runtime.lastError - Fixes bug introduced in commit 155a07c where refactor removed the return statement
