+ * Post-build script to fix absolute paths in Plasmo-generated HTML files.
+ * 
+ * Problem: Plasmo generates HTML files with absolute paths (e.g., href="/file.css")
+ * which don't work in Chrome extensions (ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND).
+ * 
+ * Solution: Replace absolute paths with relative paths (e.g., href="./file.css")
