Security Notes

• Never commit your .env file
• Keep your Google credentials and JWT secret secure
• The extension ID will be different for each installation

• If MongoDB connection fails, verify your connection string
• If the extension doesn't receive the token, verify the extension ID in your .env file matches your installation
