+- 2026-10-05: `PROXY_METHODS` in `src/background/index.js` no longer lists
+  `eth_chainId` and `net_version`
+  ([#326](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/326)). `handleRpc` answers
+  both itself before its proxy branch, so the list named two methods that are
+  never sent to the RPC endpoint. No other entry is answered earlier.
+  `tests/proxyMethods.test.js` sends every listed method from a page and fails
+  on any that does not reach the RPC endpoint.

 - 2026-10-05: The popup's Content Security Policy no longer allows inline style

   `'self'` in both manifests, pinned in `tests/manifest.test.js`. The 42
