Inject javascript from content script with a chrome extension v3

I'm migration my extension from V2 to V3. Now all is working fine except for one thing. In my V2 version I did

const actualCode = '(' + function () { 'console.log("demo");' } + `)();`;
const script = document.createElement('script');
script.textContent = actualCode;
(document.head || document.documentElement).appendChild(script);
script.remove();

Note that the console.log("demo") is a simplification of what I need to inject :)

I need to inject some javascript for my chrome-extension-magic to take place.

Now, in V3 this doesn't work anymore. I get the following error in my devtools-console

content.js:23114 
    
   Refused to execute inline script because it violates the following 
   ContentSecurity Policy directive: "script-src 'self'". Either the 
   'unsafe-inline' keyword, a hash ('sha256-tN52+5...6d2I/Szq8='), or a nonce
   ('nonce-...') is required to enable inline execution.

In the migration guide I noticed this section

"content_security_policy": {
   "extension_pages": "...",
   "sandbox": "..."
}

but there is not much description there, so this is magic to me. So I hope someone know can help me with this?

Refer to Use a content script to access the page context variables and functions

Since content scripts are executed in an "isolated world" environment, we can't do some special dom operations in content_script js.

This example will show you how to inject inject.js to web page before document start:

// document_start.js
var s = document.createElement('script');
s.src = chrome.runtime.getURL('inject.js');
s.onload = function() {
    this.remove();
};
(document.head || document.documentElement).appendChild(s);

manifest.json example for ManifestV3

"content_scripts": [
      {
            "matches": ["<all_urls>"],
            "js": ["document_start.js"],
            "run_at": "document_start" //default document end
      }
]
"web_accessible_resources": [{
  "resources": ["inject.js"],
  "matches": ["<all_urls>"]
}]
