56+ - In Jan: Set ` BRIDGE_PORT ` environment variable if using a custom port
57+ - In Extension: Click the extension icon → Check ** Settings** → Ensure port matches
58+ 4 . ** Connect the bridge** :
59+ - Click the extension icon in Chrome
60+ - Click ** Connect** to establish the WebSocket connection
