harden: make the background physically unable to read the shared state singleton (closes #324)

Five defects traced to one fact: src/background/index.js read and wrote the
module-level `state` singleton in src/shared/state.js, which the MV3 service
worker never populates and which answered an unpopulated read out of
DEFAULT_STATE in silence. Every previous fix added a loadState() before the
access, and that is what produced the fifth: a load detaches the objects an
in-flight handler is holding.

So the reachability goes rather than a sixth call site.

The background now has its own storage layer, src/background/state.js:
getState() is a detached, normalized per-call read, and updateState() is a
queued read-modify-write whose read is one storage round trip ahead of its
write. Nothing in the background holds an in-memory copy of the profile.

- Every handler takes one snapshot and answers from it, including the address
  it names: activeAddressOf(s) replaced a second, later storage read that
  could disagree with the first.
- wallet_switchEthereumChain applies applyChainSwitchFields() (split out of
  chainSwitch.js, which keeps the singleton path for the popup) inside
  updateState() instead of calling onChainSwitch() on the singleton.
- The remembered site decision is a read-modify-write, not a load-mutate-save
  around a prompt the user takes seconds to answer.
- backgroundRefresh() refreshes a private copy of the wallets and applies the
  balances that came back by address, so it never publishes an object other
  in-flight work holds, and a wallet added or deleted during the round trip
  survives its write.
- The transaction attempt takes its chain id and its endpoint from the same
  snapshot. They used to come from different moments, so a chain switch
  committed in between moved the endpoint under an artifact already verified
  against the old chain.

getProvider(rpcUrl, networkId) now REQUIRES the network id and validates it
against networks.js. That closes the cold-worker wrong-chain send at its shape
rather than at one call site: the hint used to default to currentNetwork() off
the unpopulated singleton, so the endpoint was the user's chain and ethers
fixed chainId at 0x1, and the wallet's own verifySignedTx then refused every
non-mainnet dApp send. refreshBalances(), lookupTokenInfo(), scanForAddresses()
and resolveEnsName() carry the id through; balances.js no longer requires
state.js at all.

The prohibition is enforced mechanically, not by review: a custom ESLint rule
walks the CommonJS require graph from every src/background/ file and fails the
lint when src/shared/state.js is reachable, naming the chain. A re-export from
any shared module cannot put the singleton back in the bundle unnoticed.

The rule's matcher covers every specifier syntax esbuild resolves statically —
quoted require, backtick require, dynamic import(), and a static import/export
`from` clause — because a narrower match is not a matter of tidiness but a sixth
site the build cannot see: each of those shapes was measured to put state.js in
dist/chrome/src/background/index.js while the lint stayed clean.
tests/backgroundStateLintRule.test.js pins all of them, plus the two-hop
re-export, against a real fixture tree. A computed specifier
(require("../shared/" + "state")) is deliberately not matched: esbuild cannot
resolve it either, so it never reaches the bundle.

Reading a persisted field of the singleton before any load now throws
StateNotLoadedError instead of serving DEFAULT_STATE.

Test stubs: chrome.storage.local is a serialization boundary, and eight files
stubbed it with an aliasing get, so the object a module held and the object
"storage" held were one object — an assertion could pass on a build that never
wrote anything. Every test that drives real persistence now goes through
tests/support/storageStub.js, which structured-clones in both directions.

// Which chain a dApp transaction is PREPARED for on a worker that has not
// loaded state.
//
// The MV3 service worker is terminated when idle — roughly 30 seconds, which
// is its normal condition — and revived by the page's own message. Nothing
// loads state at module scope, so handleSendTransaction() used to build its
// provider with `getProvider(await getRpcUrl())`: the endpoint came from
// storage and was right, and the static network hint was omitted, so
// src/shared/balances.js fell back to currentNetwork() — the unpopulated
// singleton — and answered mainnet. ethers then fixed `chainId` at 0x1.
//
// The transaction was not sent on the wrong chain: verifySignedTx() compares
// the artifact against the selected chain and refused it. So the guard held
// and the feature did not — a user on any non-mainnet network could not send
// from a dApp at all, and the error described the symptom
// (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/320).
//
// This drives the real balances module and the real approval preparation and
// verification. Only ethers' JsonRpcProvider is replaced, so the static
// network hint getProvider() computes is the hint the population sees.
