fix(extension): minimize automation window + reduce idle timeout#521
Conversation
- Create automation window with `state: 'minimized'` so it never appears in the user's taskbar or steals visual attention - Reduce idle timeout from 120s to 30s — window closes quickly after the last command finishes, instead of lingering for 2 minutes - CDP debugger works fine on minimized windows, no functional impact Fixes the user-visible issue of a blank data:text/html tab appearing during command execution.

chrome.windows.create rejects state:'minimized' when combined with width/height (Chrome API constraint). Revert to state:'normal' to fix the "Invalid value for state" error. The 30s idle timeout from jackwener#521 is preserved. Fixes jackwener#526

Summary
state: 'minimized'— no more visible blankdata:text/htmltab during command executionWhy
Users see a jarring blank
data:text/html,<html></html>page pop up when running browser commands. The window was created withfocused: falsebut still visible in the taskbar. Minimizing it makes the automation fully invisible.The 120s idle timeout was overly generous — most commands finish in <30s, and the lingering window confused users.
