I'll reupload again after fixing shexli issues. I am unable to run shexli locally so i uploaded here to figure the issues

JustPerfection rejected August 10, 2026

Ok but please fix all of them: 1. Don't need to use any parameters for `this.getSettings()` since you already have that in `metadata.json`. 2. Please use aysnc for reading file content since you are in shell process (line 161 `extension.js`): [Gio.File.load_contents_async](https://gjs-docs.gnome.org/gio20~2.0/gio.file#method-load_contents_async) 3. Please use a less generic name for the default class you are exporting (line 294 `extension.js`). 4. Also null out in disable: ```js this._settings = null; ``` [EGO Review Guidelines: Destroy](https://gjs.guide/extensions/review-guidelines/review-guidelines.html#destroy-all-objects) 5. Please use `connectObject()` and `disconnectObject()` so it is easier to track for cleanup (`extension.js` process only).
