About GitHub Generated-File Auto-Viewer

Stop scrolling past noise. This extension watches your GitHub pull-request **Files changed** tab and automatically ticks the **Viewed** checkbox on files whose paths match your configured glob patterns — lockfiles, generated protobufs, codegen output, build artifacts, snapshots, anything you don't want to read line-by-line.
