document.querySelectorAll('input[type="checkbox"].Polaris-Checkbox__Input').forEach(cb => {
// Try to find the label associated with this checkbox (it is a parent <label>)
const label = cb.closest('label');
if (label) {
// Look for <code> elements in the label and check if the text starts with 'read_'
const code = label.querySelector('code');
if (code && /^read_/.test(code.textContent.replace(/\s/g, ''))) {
// Only check if not already checked
if (!cb.checked) cb.click();
}
}
