Code Review
This pull request effectively migrates the hostname hashing mechanism from MD5 to SHA-256, which is a significant security enhancement. The introduction of the sha256Hash utility using the Web Crypto API is well-implemented and correctly integrated into the LastVisitedButton.tsx and lastVisited.ts files. The fix for the useEffect dependency array is also a good improvement for component stability. The temporary addition of md5 and @types/md5 as dev dependencies for the migration script is understandable. Overall, the changes align with the PR's objective and improve the application's security posture. I noticed some deprecation warnings in the pnpm-lock.yaml for otplib and next packages; while not directly related to this PR's core changes, it might be worth addressing them in a separate task to keep dependencies up-to-date and secure.

getLastVisited() returns an object and doesn’t reset isFetching on errors; wrap
the mutation/local-storage patch in a try/catch/finally: call

getLastVisited() is guarded (if it’s undefined create an empty object before
assigning result.hash), and in finally reset the component fetching state

failed mutation.

result from upsertToFirebase (called with ref: EFirebaseDBRef.lastVisited, uid:

return a rejected Promise) instead of returning success, so callers don't patch
local storage when the remote upsert failed.

Code Review
This pull request successfully replaces the insecure MD5 hashing algorithm with SHA-256 for the last visited hostname feature, which is a great security improvement. The change to use partial upserts for updating Firebase data is also a good optimization.
However, there is a critical issue that must be addressed before this PR can be merged. As noted in the PR description, changing the hashing algorithm without a data migration plan will cause all existing users to lose their 'last visited' history. The new code will look for SHA-256 hashes, but existing data is stored with MD5 hashes, making it inaccessible. A migration strategy (e.g., a script that runs on update, or a dual-read approach to migrate data on-the-fly) is essential to prevent data loss.
I've also left a few other comments:
- A suggestion to improve efficiency in
LastVisitedButton.tsxby avoiding a redundant data fetch. - A high-severity warning about a security vulnerability in the
nextdependency, which was flagged inpnpm-lock.yaml. - A medium-severity note about other deprecated dependencies.
Throw an error when Firebase upsert fails to ensure proper error propagation to the caller. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Skipped tests should have a tracking mechanism to ensure they are re-enabled.
Skipping the entire test suite without a TODO comment or linked issue risks these tests being forgotten. Given this PR introduces significant changes (MD5 → SHA-256 hashing, async operations, new upsertLastVisited endpoint), the tests likely need updates to reflect the new behavior.
Consider adding a TODO with an issue reference:
-test.describe.skip('LastVisitedButton', () => {
+// TODO(`#ISSUE_NUMBER`): Re-enable after updating tests for SHA-256 async hashing
+test.describe.skip('LastVisitedButton', () => {Alternatively, update the tests in this PR to work with the new implementation rather than skipping them entirely.
Would you like me to help draft updated test logic that accounts for the async SHA-256 hashing and the new upsertLastVisited tRPC endpoint?

🔴 Missing try-catch in handleUpdateLastVisited causes permanent loading state on errors
The handleUpdateLastVisited function sets isFetching to true at the start but has no error handling. If any async operation throws an error, setIsFetching(false) at line 52 will never execute, leaving the button permanently stuck in a loading state.
Click to expand
How this bug gets triggered
The server-side upsertLastVisited function in packages/trpc/src/services/firebase/realtimeDBService.ts:76-78 explicitly throws an error on failure:
if (!success) {
throw new Error('Failed to upsert lastVisited entry to Firebase');
}When this error propagates to the client, or if any other async operation (like sha256Hash, getLastVisited, or chrome.storage.local.set) fails, the code will exit without reaching setIsFetching(false).
Actual vs Expected
- Actual: Button stays in loading state forever with no way to recover
- Expected: Error should be caught,
isFetchingreset tofalse, and optionally a notification shown to the user
Impact
Users will see a permanently disabled/loading button after any network failure or Firebase error, requiring them to close and reopen the extension popup to recover.
Recommendation: Wrap the async operations in a try-catch-finally block, with setIsFetching(false) in the finally clause to ensure it always executes regardless of success or failure.

No error handling for the mutation - if upsertLastVisited throws an error (line 76-78 in realtimeDBService.ts), isFetching remains true forever and the UI gets stuck in loading state.
