Why
Firefox's tabs API does not expose Sidebery's panels, groups, or tree structure. Other extensions therefore cannot understand or safely modify the organization users maintain in Sidebery without depending on private storage.
This addresses the integration use cases discussed in #616.
Scope
This adds a typed extension-to-extension API. Exposes panel and tab-hierarchy state, supports moving branches, managing groups, and flattening hierarchy through Sidebery's existing services.
The change includes request validation, structured errors, documentation, and tests.
Firefox accepts messages from any installed extension by default, so this creates a general integration surface rather than an allowlisted one. Open to suggestion here.
