Description

The web application encounters the error: "Unchecked runtime.lastError: The message port closed before a response was received." This happens intermittently when sending messages via an extension or a background script. The issue might stem from either the message sender timing out or a failure in processing the message on the receiving end. A potential fix could involve increasing the timeout or ensuring that the recipient responds appropriately.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how messages are sent and received in the codebase, focusing on the messaging interface. Verify that the receiver always calls `sendResponse` asynchronously, and consider increasing the timeout or adding error handling for port closure.
