Feature request: tidy, named tab groups for Claude in Chrome

Problem
Every browser automation session Claude in Chrome starts creates its own new tab group. Over time this leaves the user with hundreds of untitled/uncolored tab groups in Chrome, with no way to tell which one Claude used or when.
Requested behavior
- Claude in Chrome should default to launching browser sessions inside a single, consistently named tab group (e.g. "CLAUDE"), ideally with a distinct color/icon (e.g. orange, matching Claude branding), rather than creating a fresh group every session.
- Only create a new, separate tab group when the user explicitly asks for one (e.g. "open this in its own group").
- Provide a way to clean up / garbage-collect old or empty tab groups Claude created and no longer uses, instead of leaving them to accumulate indefinitely.
Why
This is a tidiness/usability issue for anyone using Claude in Chrome regularly — the current behavior makes Chrome's tab group list unusable over time and makes it hard to identify which group is Claude's active session.
Context
Reported via a Cowork session on behalf of a SmartOrg AS user (Claude in Chrome / claude-code repo).
