## 2. What Every Plan Includes

- **0.3-Second Inline AI Solve**: Double-click any question on Canvas (Classic & New Quizzes), Blackboard (Learn & Ultra), Moodle, D2L Brightspace, Google Classroom, McGraw-Hill Connect, or Pearson MyLab.
- **Snap-It Vision OCR (`⌘+Shift+S` / `Ctrl+Shift+S`)**: Drag a selection rectangle over locked text (`user-select: none`), organic chemistry structures, calculus integrals, graphs, or embedded PDFs.
- **Closed Shadow DOM Isolation (`mode: 'closed'`)**: Zero visible DOM mutations, zero injected `<button>` tags in host quiz containers, and zero exposed `web_accessible_resources` signatures.
- **Focus Shield Telemetry Protection**: Intercepts `window.blur`, `visibilitychange`, and `document.hasFocus()` polling so Canvas SpeedGrader logs zero tab-switch flags.
- **3 Display Modes**:
  1. **Invisible Mode**: Silent answer selection with zero visual UI (100% screen-share safe).
  2. **Stealth Mode (Default)**: Subtle micro-indicator while reasoning, then applies the answer seamlessly.
  3. **Explain Mode**: Displays a step-by-step academic breakdown explaining why the correct option is true and why distractors are false.
- **3 Answer Delivery Methods**:
  1. **Auto-fill (Default)**: Selects the correct radio button, checkbox, or dropdown option.
  2. **Highlight**: Illuminates the correct option for 1–10 seconds (default 4s) so the student clicks it manually.
  3. **Clipboard**: Copies the verified answer directly to the system clipboard for short-answer and essay questions.
- **Emergency Panic Switch (`⌘+Shift+U` / `Esc × 2`)**: Unmounts all Shadow DOM state from browser memory in under 10 milliseconds.
- **14-Day Money-Back Guarantee**: Full refund within 14 days via `support@examghost.com` or our 24/7 Discord community (`https://discord.gg/aCcsyKYJq4`).
