Description

Feature Request

Add a function that automatically patches all window functions in content scripts so any async callbacks are removed when context is invalidated.

Alternative is to pass the context around and call functions off that which can get quite annoying.

Research direction

Start by locating the ctx.applyPatch entry point and the content-script handling it would affect. Clarify how window functions, async callbacks, and context invalidation should interact, using the linked discussion for requirements; done means the proposed API patches those functions and removes callbacks after invalidation.
