🛠️ How It Works

Smart DOM Injection

• Uses Seanime's ctx.dom API to safely inject the button
• Waits for the action bar container to be ready (500ms initial delay)
• Retries every 500ms if the DOM isn't ready yet
• Removes duplicate buttons automatically

Data Flow

1. Navigation Detection - Listens to ctx.screen.onNavigate
2. Entry Fetching - Gets anime/manga data via ctx.anime.getAnimeEntry() or ctx.manga.getMangaEntry()
3. MAL ID Extraction - Checks if media.idMal exists
4. Button Injection - Creates and injects the MAL button next to the AniList button

Performance

• Initial delay: 500ms (optimized for fast loading)
• Retry interval: 500ms (if DOM not ready)
• Button appears: Usually within 0.5-1 second
