feat: Implement Prompt Builder functionality in Popup and Options
- Added a new "Prompt Builder" tab in the Popup for generating AI prompts with customizable parameters.
- Introduced new state variables for managing prompt styles, personas, formats, and models.
- Enhanced the Options page to fetch and display models based on the provided API key.
- Updated the actions and types to include the new 'prompt' action and its associated parameters.
- Implemented migration logic for legacy plaintext API keys to encrypted storage.
- Updated the getSystemPrompt function to incorporate prompt parameters for better instruction generation.
- Added tests for the new functionality, including context menu entries and prompt generation logic.

# Project brief — LexAI
> Source of truth for *what* LexAI is and *why*. Keep it under two screens; link out for detail.
## Outcome
- **One-line product:** A Grammarly-like Chrome extension (Manifest V3) that gives AI writing help — grammar fix, rephrase, shorten, expand, explain — on any webpage, using the user's own LLM API key.
- **Measurable outcome:** A user can select text on any page, pick an action from the floating toolbar (or right-click menu / popup), and replace or copy an AI-improved version — with no LexAI backend and no subscription.
- **Primary user:** Individuals who already hold an LLM API key (OpenAI / Anthropic / Groq / OpenRouter) and want inline writing assistance without paying a SaaS subscription or sending text through a third-party server.
- **Why now:** BYO-key removes the cost and privacy objections to hosted writing assistants; MV3 + WXT makes a lightweight, serverless extension practical.
## Non-goals
- No LexAI backend, account system, or subscription. The extension talks directly to the user's chosen provider.
- Not a full document editor; it augments existing page inputs (textarea/input/contenteditable).
- No telemetry or transmission of user text anywhere except the user-selected provider endpoint.
- Not (yet) streaming, autocomplete, tone profiles, or custom style profiles — those are roadmap.
## Acceptance tests
1. `npm run typecheck` and `npm test -- --run` pass.
2. `npm run build` produces a loadable `.output/chrome-mv3/` bundle (~166 KB baseline).
3. Loaded unpacked, selecting text on a page shows the toolbar; an action returns a result modal; Replace edits both textarea/input and contenteditable targets.
4. API key is stored via the encrypted path (`apiKeyEnc` + `encKey`) and never logged or sent anywhere but the provider endpoint.
## Constraints
- **Stack:** WXT `^0.20` (Vite), React 18 + TypeScript (Options/Popup only), tweetnacl for key encryption. Tailwind is installed but **inactive** — all UI is inline styles.
- **Runtime:** Node 22 (CI pins `node:22-bookworm`). `npm install` required before any `npm run *`.
- **Security/compliance:** Handles a user secret (LLM API key) and reads page-selected text. Manifest currently requests `<all_urls>` — a Chrome Web Store review risk (see `attacksurface.md`).
- **Release:** CI is **Gitea** (`.gitea/workflows/`), not GitHub Actions. Version must match in `package.json` and `wxt.config.ts`; a `v*.*.*` tag deploys to the Chrome Web Store.
## Stakeholders
| Role | Who | Decision authority |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Owner / maintainer | John Kevin Asprec | scope, priorities, release |
| Project tracking | Plane (LEXAI project) | https://plane-pro.juankibin.space |
## Unknowns
- Whether to narrow host permissions to `activeTab`/allowlist before a serious Web Store push (see Decisions + attack surface).
- Whether the current tweetnacl approach should be replaced given `encKey` is co-located with the ciphertext (it is obfuscation, not protection).
## Source of truth
- **Issue tracker:** Plane — LEXAI project (link above).
- **This repo:** entrypoints in `entrypoints/`, shared code in `src/`, tests in `tests/`. `CLAUDE.md` is the working guide for architecture and conventions.
