fix: store an absent explorer decimals as unknown instead of fabricating 18 (closes #349)

fetchTokenBalances() did parseInt(item.token.decimals || "18", 10) before writing to state.wallets[].addresses[].tokenBalances[].decimals, so a token whose decimals() reverts -- one the block explorer reports no scale for -- was stored with a fabricated 18 that no reader could tell from a real one.

That is upstream of a rule already merged. #306 made the ERC-20 approval amount line resolve the real scale or refuse to format, and #340 extended it to the swap lines; both read this stored value as an authoritative source, so the guess walked straight past refusals that were intact and simply never fired. A 1,000-unit approval of such a token rendered 0.000000001 on the one screen whose job is to state what is being authorized.

The stored value is now the explorer's own answer or null, never a default. Both approval paths reach unknownDecimalsAmount() on a null, using the refusal that was already there. The history list's token transfers carried the same || "18" and now state exact base units with the scale unknown rather than a quantity at a guessed one.

A holding whose scale nothing knows has no quantity either, so its balance is stored as null -- unknown, never zero -- and the balance list, the address USD total, the Send screen and the confirmation screen each say so rather than printing 0.0000 for money that is really there. The zero-balance filter moved onto the base-unit integer, where it needs no scale at all. The bundled token list and the user's tracked tokens already outrank the explorer, so a token either of them knows still displays its real quantity when the explorer's entry omits decimals; only what none of the three knows is unknown.

Which makes the stored field the explorer's answer alone, and NOT the scale a screen renders at. Those are two questions, and every screen that needs the second one asks resolveTokenDecimals(). The Send screen did not: it read tokenBalances[].decimals raw and carried it onto the pending transaction, so a bundled or tracked token whose explorer row omits decimals reached displayedDecimals(null) inside estimateGas(). That throws, is caught as an unavailable fee, and disables Send behind "The network fee could not be estimated ... Please go back and try again" -- untrue, unactionable, and for a token such as WETH whose scale was never in doubt. The balance and the amount on the same screen were correct throughout, and validateTransfer() had nothing to object to, so nothing named the real reason. Before this change the fabricated 18 happened to be that token's real scale and the send completed, so this is a capability regression and not an inherited one. Send now resolves the scale through resolveTokenDecimals(), with no fallback.

The two resolutions are deliberately not identical, and where they differ the balance follows the scale. balances.js resolves without wallets, because it is formatting one explorer row during a fetch that is about to replace the very state it would be consulting; its explorer leg is therefore that row's own value. send.js resolves with wallets, which adds explorerDecimals()'s cross-address check, so a contract two addresses report different scales for answers null rather than picking one -- a check that must apply to a value which goes on to encode a transfer. For a token neither bundled nor tracked whose explorer rows disagree, that leaves a stored quantity computed at a scale Send has just refused. Stating it would leave validateTransfer() checking the amount against a number the wallet does not vouch for, and, since the unknown-balance path is gated on the balance rather than on the scale, would again leave the fee-estimate failure as the only thing on the confirmation screen. So Send withdraws the stored quantity along with the scale: an unknown scale is an unknown balance. Only a stored quantity is withdrawn -- the "0" for a token with no row at all is an absence of holdings, which is true at every scale.

The uint8 check is one shared toDecimals() rather than three copies of it, and it answers 0 for a real scale of zero: || "18" collapsed that to eighteen, the falsy-collapse trap of #246.

The reader half is asserted, not just the writer half. Each of the six sites that now distinguishes an unknown quantity from a zero one -- balanceLine(), balanceLinesForAddress(), addressHoldsFunds(), getAddressValue()'s partial flag, the Send balance line and the confirmation screen's balance and insufficient-balance wording -- is tested on the PAIR, because an assertion about null alone still passes on a build that renders both as zero. The Send and confirmation cases run the real explorer response through the real fetcher, the real review handler and the real confirmation screen, so they show which of the two scale questions each screen is asking, including a two-address fixture whose explorer rows report 6 and 18 for one contract.

Existing installs hold 18s that cannot be told apart retroactively -- that is the defect, and no migration can undo it. They display exactly as they do today until the next balance refresh, which rewrites tokenBalances wholesale and needs no user action. The schema version is not bumped: version 1 records stay valid and are read exactly as before.

No || 18 or ?? 18 fallback remains anywhere in src/. The literal 18s that do remain are real data rather than defaults: 432 per-token decimals: 18 entries in the bundled src/shared/tokenList.js, and, outside that file, only native ETH's protocol-defined scale in src/shared/uniswap.js and the fixed-point comparison scale in src/shared/txValidation.js.

// The Send and confirmation screens for a token whose explorer row carries no
// decimals.
//
// https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/349 made `fetchTokenBalances()`
// store the explorer's own answer — `null` when it reported none — while the
// scale a balance is DISPLAYED at is resolved separately: bundled list, then
// the user's tracked tokens, then the explorer. The two are different
// questions, and `tokenBalances[].decimals` only answers the second one.
//
// A reader that takes the stored field for the display scale therefore gets
// `null` for a token the wallet does know the scale of. On the Send path that
// null reaches `displayedDecimals()` inside `estimateGas()`, which throws, is
// caught as an unavailable fee, and disables Send behind "The network fee could
// not be estimated" — untrue, unactionable, and for a bundled token like WETH
// or DAI whose scale was never in doubt. So the Send screen resolves the scale
// the same way the balance list did, and only carries a null forward when that
// resolution genuinely answers null.
//
// Driven through the real `fetchTokenBalances()`, the real Send review handler
// and the real confirmation screen: a test that hand-wrote `decimals: null`
// onto state would not show which of the two questions each screen is asking.
//
// The reader sites that are pure display are in tests/unknownScaleDisplay.test.js,
// and what the fetcher stores is in tests/fabricatedDecimals.test.js.
