Good morning. I am completely new to development in python and even more so in Calibre. I wanted, for my personal use, to prepare a small plugin that would allow me to manage the biography of an author, on several books at the same time. With the help of AI I made this plugin, which apparently integrates with Calibre because we see it in the plugin folder and also in Preferences>Plugins>User Interface Action. Unfortunately, I cannot test it, because it does not appear in the menu (despite the creation request). I searched in the different toolbars (in Preferences), in the shortcuts but without success. So maybe my code doesn't work, but I don't know because I can't test it. Sorry for my bad English: I am French speaking. And also sorry if my question is really stupid in your eyes: be lenient.
Could you tell me what I'm doing wrong?
here is the code for the 2 main files (the other 2, manifest.json and __init_.py are less important I believe):
1. ui.py
