feat: password import, proper noun detection, full README update

Import parser:
- Passwords now imported from Chrome/Firefox/Bitwarden/1Password CSVs
  as exact-match auto-redacted mappings (→ [REDACTED-PASSWORD-N])
- Catches passwords in any context, not just key=value patterns

Proper noun heuristic:
- Auto-detect scanner now catches capitalized words mid-sentence as
  potential names, company names, or project names
- Filters against 200+ common English words, programming terms, days,
  months to reduce false positives
- Added to both content.js (page world) and auto-detect.js (popup)

README:
- Documented proper noun detection with examples
- Documented bulk import with all supported formats
- Added Sync features section (auto sync, conflict resolution,
  version history, connected devices)
- Added Organization/Team section with policy format
- Added tamper protection documentation
- Added Legal section with liability analysis
- Updated architecture with all new modules

| `123-45-6789` | `[REDACTED-SSN]` |
| `4111 1111 1111 1111` | `[REDACTED-CARD]` |
### Proper noun detection (automatic)
The auto-detect scanner also catches capitalized words mid-sentence that might be names, company names, or project names you forgot to configure. For example:
| You type | What happens |
|----------|-------------|
| `...talked to Sarah about the deploy` | Flags "Sarah" as a possible name |
| `...the Acme Corp internal API` | Flags "Acme Corp" as a possible organization |
| `...pushed to Project Atlas staging` | Flags "Project Atlas" as a possible project name |
These are flagged as warnings (not auto-redacted) so you can decide whether to add them as mappings. Common English words, programming terms, days, and months are excluded to reduce false positives.
### Bulk import (speed up setup)
Import your existing data from password managers and browser autofill to pre-populate identity and mappings:
| Source | What's imported |
|---|---|
| Chrome password CSV | Usernames, emails, domains, passwords (auto-redacted) |
| Firefox logins CSV | Usernames, emails, domains, passwords (auto-redacted) |
| Bitwarden CSV | Usernames, emails, domains, passwords (auto-redacted) |
| 1Password CSV | Usernames, emails, domains, passwords (auto-redacted) |
| Browser autofill CSV | Names, emails, phones, addresses |
| Plain CSV (2 columns) | Real → substitute pairs |
| Plain text (1 per line) | Auto-categorized values needing substitutes |
Passwords are imported as exact-match mappings (e.g. `MyS3cret!``[REDACTED-PASSWORD-1]`) so they get caught in any context — not just `password=value` patterns.

## Sync features
### Auto sync
When configured, the extension automatically pushes and pulls settings on a configurable interval (5/15/30/60 minutes) using GitHub Gist or a custom URL endpoint. Local changes trigger an immediate push.
### Conflict resolution
When both this device and another device change the same data between syncs, the extension performs a three-way merge:
- Non-conflicting changes are merged automatically
- True conflicts (same field changed on both sides) are presented in a side-by-side UI where you choose "Keep Local" or "Keep Remote" for each conflict
### Version history + rollback
Every sync operation saves a snapshot of your data. You can browse previous versions and restore any snapshot. Configurable max snapshots (default 10).
### Connected devices
Each device registers itself with a name and browser type. The device list is shared via sync data so you can see all connected devices, when they last synced, and remove old ones.
## Organization / Team
For teams that want to enforce privacy rules across all members:
1. **Admin** creates a JSON policy file hosted at any URL (static file, S3, cloud function)
2. **Team members** join by entering the policy URL or an invite code in Options → Organization
3. **Org rules merge** with personal rules — required mappings are always active and cannot be disabled
4. **Compliance dashboard** shows which required fields are configured (without revealing actual PPI)
5. **Policy updates** are polled automatically (hourly)
### Org policy format
```json
{
"orgId": "acme-corp",
"orgName": "Acme Corp",
"version": 2,

],

"requireCatchAllEmail": true,
"requiredCategories": ["name", "email", "domain"]
}
}
```
### Tamper protection
Optional admin password (separate from vault password) that gates destructive actions:
- Disabling the extension
- Clearing data or mappings
- Leaving an organization
- Exporting data in plaintext
This is a deterrent for casual tampering. It cannot prevent browser-level uninstall or developer tools access.
## Privacy & Security
- All data stays local in browser storage — no external servers, no telemetry, no analytics

**You should still review sensitive messages before sending.** Silent Send is a safety net, not a guarantee. Think of it like a spell checker for privacy — it catches most things, but you wouldn't send a legal document without proofreading.
## Legal
### Liability
Silent Send is provided **"as is" without warranty of any kind**. The disclaimer section above explicitly documents known limitations. Users should not rely on Silent Send as their sole privacy protection.
To mitigate litigation risk:
- The extension clearly states it is a **convenience tool, not a security guarantee** in both the README and the popup footer
- Known failure modes are documented (images, file uploads, encoded data, unconfigured data)
- The "~85-90% correctness" estimate sets realistic expectations
- No marketing claims of "complete protection" or "guaranteed privacy" are made
- The BSL license includes standard liability limitation language
This is comparable to how antivirus software, ad blockers, and password managers handle liability — they document limitations, disclaim warranties, and don't claim perfection. The key is to never overstate what the tool does.
