Summary
Adds support for looking up fuseji (伏せ字) (per #2436).
Screenshots
Chrome, macOS, only PixivLight installed
How it works
Triggers are single-character wildcards. Since IndexedDB only does prefix scans, the lookup is anchored on the unmasked text:
actually occur at mask positions, and skips subtrees that can't match — so cost scales with distinct mask-position characters + matches, not the size of the (low-selectivity) anchor range. Suffix anchors use a plain key cursor.
Settings
Two new rows under Advanced translation settings:
translation.enableFusejiLookup(toggle, defaultfalse)translation.fusejiTriggers(text, default◯○〇●)Trigger characters act as one-character wildcards during lookup; the default set covers the common circle variants used as masks.
Limitations
マ◯◯ド) are slower and noisy: every word that fits the all-masked span counts as a partial match, so each extra adjacent trigger multiplies the number of results (and the time to build them).◯んでるfor死んでる), the visible tail (んでる) is not a dictionary-form headword and the anchor we look up is the stripped tail, so it can't resolve to死ぬ. Supporting it would require deinflecting the visible tail and reconstructing the pattern (◯んでる → ◯ぬ/◯む) before lookup.
