Notes

• ⚠️ The multi-course scraping feature is currently unstable because learning paths don’t clearly list all of their courses in one place, so the extension has to make its best guess.
• If a learning path shows “0 courses found”, please reload the page and try again.
• To cancel multi-course auto-scraping, wait a moment and click “Cancel” again if it doesn’t stop immediately.
