About GitLab MR Previewer

A lightweight Chrome Extension that transforms plain GitLab Merge Request links into rich, informative preview cards in Google Chat messages. ## ✨ Features * **Rich Previews:** Instantly see MR titles, authors, and current status (Open, Merged, or Closed). * **Approval Tracking:** Real-time visualization of approval counts (e.g., ✔ 2/3 approvals). * **Deep Link Support:** If a link points to a specific comment (`#note_12345`), the card automatically pulls and displays the comment snippet. * **Smart Theming:** Automatically detects and matches the theme (Dark/Light) of the host website (specifically optimized for Google Chat). * **Privacy & Security:** Uses a background service worker to bypass strict **COEP/CORS** policies, ensuring avatars load even on secured internal networks. * **Self-Hosted Ready:** Works with both `gitlab.com` and custom self-hosted GitLab instances.
