## Description

Akamai Debug Helper injects Akamai pragma headers and surfaces CDN response diagnostics in a clean popup.

Enable debug per tab, see cache HIT/MISS status, cache keys, TTL, and request IDs, and track the last 10 main‑document requests.  

Built‑in alerts flag HIT→MISS changes, stale content, disabled caching, and cache‑key churn.  

Use Force Refresh to send Cache‑Control: no-cache for one reload, and export diagnostics as JSON for easy sharing.
