📦 Changelog — Direct Stream Caster v3.2

🚀 New in 3.2

• ✅ Dynamic Stream Detection: Automatically detects .m3u8 URLs loaded via fetch or XMLHttpRequest—no more hardcoded stream links.
• ✅ Early Hooking: Script now runs at document-start to catch early network requests.
• ✅ Improved Logging: Console logs now show when streams are found via fetch or XHR.
• ✅ Graceful Fallback: Alerts user if no stream is detected before casting.
• ✅ Minimal Permissions: Still @grant none with no additional dependencies.

This version makes the script future-proof for most live streaming sites and mirrors like StreamEast by sniffing network traffic for playable HLS streams in real time.
