harden: stop the background reading the shared state singleton, and enforce it at build time (closes #324)

Five defects, one of which destroyed every wallet, came from src/background reading and writing the module-level state singleton the MV3 worker never populates, which silently served DEFAULT_STATE. Each point fix created the next defect. The background now has its own per-call getState() and a queued read-modify-write updateState(); the singleton is unreachable from it, and an unpopulated read throws instead of serving defaults.

The prohibition is enforced by the build, not by review: build.js asserts over esbuild's own metafile that no forbidden module is an input of a background bundle, so every specifier syntax esbuild resolves is covered, and both halves of the table are checked for rot -- a stale key, a stale module, an empty list, or an unlisted entry point under src/background/ all fail the build. The ESLint rule remains as fast local feedback and reads the same shared table. Known bounds are documented where the table lives.

Also closes #320: getProvider() now requires a validated network id, so a cold worker no longer prepares a non-mainnet dApp transaction for mainnet and gets refused by the wallet's own verifier. backgroundRefresh() no longer mutates address objects across a network round trip, the broadcast path takes its endpoint and chain id from one snapshot, and eight test storage stubs now structured-clone on get as the real chrome.storage.local does.

closes #320

// ESLint rule: the background bundle may not reach the shared state singleton.
//
// src/shared/state.js holds a module-level `state` object, loaded once by
// loadState() and mutated in place from then on. That is the popup's model. In
// the MV3 service worker there is no "once": the worker is terminated when
// idle and revived by the next message, nothing loads state at module scope,
// and an unpopulated read used to be served DEFAULT_STATE without complaint —
// five defects, one cause
// (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/324). The background has its
// own per-call storage layer in src/background/state.js instead.
//
// THIS RULE IS NOT THE GUARANTEE, and must not be described as one. The
// guarantee is in build.js: FORBIDDEN_INPUTS / assertNoForbiddenInputs() fails
// the build when esbuild's own metafile reports src/shared/state.js as an input
// of a background bundle. That consults the resolution esbuild actually
// performed, so no specifier syntax and no resolution rule can slip past it,
// and Dockerfile:42 runs `make build` in CI.
//
// What this rule is: fast local feedback, in the editor and in `make lint`,
// before a full bundle. It reads sources from disk and matches import
// specifiers TEXTUALLY, so it is a best-effort approximation of module
// resolution — a hand-rolled matcher will diverge from a real bundler, and two
// earlier revisions of this file proved it by shipping holes (a template
// literal, a dynamic `import()`, a comment inside the call, a directory
// resolved through `package.json` `main`). Those are all covered now, and the
// next divergence is caught by the build rather than by widening this again.
//
// It checks REACHABILITY, not just the direct require: the singleton is one
// `require()` away from any shared module the background pulls in, and a
// re-export would put it back in the bundle without any background file naming
// it. So each background file is the root of a walk over the CommonJS require
// graph, and the error names the whole chain that brought the singleton in.
//
// Matching textually over-approximates — a specifier inside a comment or a
// string counts — which is the safe direction here: the failure mode is a
// spurious error naming an exact file and line, not a silent hole.
//
// Two shapes this rule does NOT report, both of which the build does fail on
// (each measured with `make lint` and `make build` on the branch that added
// this note):
//
// - a computed specifier, `require("../shared/" + "state")` — esbuild
// constant-folds it, so it is in the bundle and `make build` is exit 2
// naming src/shared/state.js, while `make lint` is exit 0. Same for
// `import("../shared/" + variable)`, which esbuild resolves as a glob.
// - a symlink to the module — esbuild reports the real path and fails the
// build; this rule resolves the link's own path and sees a different file.
//
// Both are pinned as non-reports in tests/backgroundStateLintRule.test.js, so
// this list is a measured description of the rule rather than a claim about
// it. They are known divergences, not things that cannot happen. A
// matcher will keep diverging from a bundler; that is why the guarantee is the
// build's and this rule is not widened again to chase them.
