# πŸš€ QUICK FIX SUMMARY
## What Was Broken
1. ❌ **"not available" error** - Server didn't return chunk data
2. ❌ **Console errors** - INP blocking from sidebar
3. ❌ **No click-to-scroll** - Couldn't jump to paragraphs
4. ❌ **Missing paragraph list** - Suspicious paragraphs not shown
5. ❌ **Highlight not working** - Button didn't mark paragraphs
## What's Fixed
### βœ… Server Returns Chunks Now
Each paragraph analyzed individually with:
- Score (0-100)
- "Why flagged" explanation
- Text preview
- Severity level
### βœ… Sidebar Shows Suspicious Paragraphs
Just like mis_2 extension:
- List of all flagged paragraphs
- Click any paragraph β†’ jumps to it on page
- Color-coded cards (red/yellow)
- "Why flagged" explanations
### βœ… Click-to-Scroll Works
- Click paragraph in sidebar
- Page smoothly scrolls
- Paragraph flashes blue
- Perfect navigation!
### βœ… Highlight Button Works
- Marks suspicious paragraphs with colored borders
- Red for high risk (>70%)
- Yellow for medium risk (40-70%)
- Tooltips on hover
## Files Changed
1. **`combined_server.py`** - Lines 360-420
- Added paragraph-by-paragraph analysis
- Returns chunks array with details
2. **`extension/content.js`** - Lines 180-220, 530-580, 620-710
- Added suspicious paragraphs section to sidebar
