automate chrome by script kit

script kit 是一个对前端开发很友好的工具，可以使用 JS 操控 Mac，将很多事情自动化。

需求：使用 script kit 控制浏览器，具体的技术点如下

使用浏览器打开 url 使用 AppleScript 将一段 JS 注入浏览器，并执行其中第一点很轻松，第二点折腾了很久，才踩遍其中的坑。

坑：

Chrome 需要在 View - Developer 中打开 Allow JavaScript from AppleScript
AppleScript 中注入的 JS 需要注意一些事情
- 不支持顶层 await
- 需要将 " 转义为 \"
- 需要将 \u 转义为 \u

最后搞出来一个可以工作的版本：
