  • Added rel="noopener noreferrer" to the a tag in extension/sidepanel/index.html.
  • This ensures that external links opened in new tabs cannot manipulate the origin page context, effectively eliminating a reverse tabnabbing vulnerability.
  • Verified by checking frontend visually and running full test suites locally.

PR created automatically by Jules for task 8026939734531602552 started by @savvides

Adds the missing `rel="noopener noreferrer"` attribute to the external link
with `target="_blank"` on the AI Studio API key field in `extension/sidepanel/index.html`.
This mitigates a potential reverse tabnabbing attack where the newly opened window
could gain access to the originating window's context.
