Why am I being asked to justify my host permissions when my manifest doesn't have host permissions?

[Wizzel1]

This is the generated manifest from the wxt build step:

{
  "manifest_version": 3,
  "name": "Uploader",
  "description":"",
  "version": "0.0.2",
  "icons": {
   ...
  },
  "homepage_url": "https://www.podsuite.io",
  "permissions": ["tabs", "identity", "storage"],
  "background": { "service_worker": "background.js" },
  "action": { "default_title": "PODSuite Uploader", "default_popup": "popup.html" },
  "content_scripts": [
    {
      "matches": ["*://*.merch.amazon.com/*"],
      "css": ["content-scripts/amazon.css"],
      "js": ["content-scripts/amazon.js"]
    },
    { "matches": ["https://www.google.com/"], "js": ["content-scripts/google.js"] }
  ]
}

and for some reason I need to give a host permission justification. Is that because of the content scripts?

Yes, the content scripts. See the description to the right of the input. It mentions content scripts as a cause.

Basically, they're just asking why you need content scripts

@aklinker1 thanks I was just confused by an earlier answer on the discord channel where someone said that he never had to do this. Maybe I misunderstood something. https://discord.com/channels/1212416027611365476/1224505556346212515/1237833001673429053

Hmm, interesting... They could have been misremembering or misunderstanding. I've always had to add a reason for extensions with content scripts, don't think I've ever manually specified host permissions before.

Anyways, thanks again for helping me out!
