Description

Ideally this entire thing should be able to be injected into an existing extension with no issues.

Research direction

Start by inspecting redirect-hack.html and tracing the redirect flow that depends on it. Check how the project is injected into an existing extension, and treat redirects working without that file as the completion criterion. The issue names no test path, so identify the relevant verification approach while tracing the flow.
