Dropdown Source Filter with Per-Mod Filtering:

Major Feature: AJAX Live Updates
No more page reloads! v2.0.0 introduces a built-in HTTP server with AJAX polling.
___________________________________________________________________
Before (v1.x):
HTML file saved to disk
Browser reloaded the entire page every N seconds
Visible flickering and "reloading" indicator in browser tab
FROZEN - Text selected hack to prevent refresh while reading
___________________________________________________________________
After (v2.0.0):
Built-in HTTP server on http://localhost:8088
Page loads once, then updates dynamically via fetch('/api/logs')
Only new log entries are added to the DOM — nothing gets replaced
Zero flickering — smooth, instant updates
Text selection preserved — read errors without interruption
No more "reloading" in browser tab — just live data streaming
___________________________________________________________________
New Features:
Built-in HTTP Server (Ajax)
Runs on configurable port (default 8088)
Serves HTML page at / and JSON API at /api/logs
Background thread, zero impact on game performance
Auto-starts with the mod, auto-stops on game exit
Accessible from any browser on the same machine
___________________________________________________________________
JSON API (/api/logs):
Returns all logs with metadata in JSON format
___________________________________________________________________
Smart DOM Updates:
New log entries are appended to the container — existing entries untouched
Text selection survives updates — no more interrupted reading

Auto-scroll only when user is already at the bottom
___________________________________________________________________

File-based page reload mechanism (location.reload())
Refresh counter and frozen state logic
FROZEN - Text selected indicator
Duplicate spam filter code
