Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the extension's existing tab URL-matching and reload-handling entry points, then trace how tab reloads are detected. Done means a timer can be set for a URL, applies to every matching tab, reloads overdue tabs, restarts after an automatic reload, and restarts after a manual reload.
