 2. Unpacking it from its `.crx` format.
 3. Launching Chromium using Playwright in `--headless=new` mode (which DOES allow extensions, unlike the old headless mode) with a persistent user data directory.
 4. Auto-closing setup tabs.

 2. **Zotero Desktop** must be currently running on your machine (the extension communicates with the Zotero desktop app securely on port `1969`).

 Simply pass the URL of the paper you want to add to Zotero:
 
 ```bash
-source venv/bin/activate
-python zotero_automator.py "https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762"
+uv run zotero_automator.py "https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762"
 ```
 
 If you want to watch the browser process visually (helpful for debugging if a site requires a captcha or login, or just to verify the extension is working), pass the `--headed` flag:
 
 ```bash
-python zotero_automator.py "https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762" --headed
+uv run zotero_automator.py "https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762" --headed
 ```
 
 ## How It Works
 
 - **`setup_extension()`**: Locates the `EKHAGK...` identifier for the Zotero extension on the Chrome web store and downloads the raw `.crx` payload. It unpacks the contents into `./zotero_extension/`.
-- **`save_to_zotero()`**: Starts an `async_playwright` session pointing to a local profile folder (`./chrome_profile/`). The extension injects its translator scripts on network idle. We fire the platform-specific shortcut for "Save to Zotero" and wait 10 seconds for the backend download to finish.
+- **`save_to_zotero()`**: Starts an `async_playwright` session pointing to a local profile folder (`./chrome_profile/`). The extension injects its translator scripts on network idle. We find the extension's background service worker, trigger the programmatic save, and then poll `sessionProgress` until Zotero finishes downloading the PDFs and metadata.
