Description
Optionally, the user could supply `{tab: tabId}` or `{tab: true}` to show the alert in a specific tab or the current tab.
- This is perfect when the user is operating via browserAction/contextMenu, which gives `activeTab` access
- This won't work when the user is on unscriptable pages, it'll fallback to the `window`

API: `alert('message', {tab: true})`

Research direction
Start with the alert API and compare the requested `{tab: tabId}` and `{tab: true}` forms with the linked `index.ts` implementation around lines 105-115. Check how content-script alerts should fall back for unscriptable pages, and verify that the existing `alert('message')` behavior remains unchanged when no tab option is supplied.
