test: drive the EIP-1193 dApp approval round trips in the browser (closes #183)

The dApp signing path was the largest unverified surface in the milestone: the
only place where the content script, the inpage provider, the background worker
and the popup all have to work together, with unit tests covering each side in
isolation and none covering the seam.

A page served by the harness speaks EIP-1193 to the real provider -- asserted by
EIP-6963 object identity, not by shape -- and eth_requestAccounts, personal_sign,
eth_signTypedData_v4 and eth_sendTransaction are each driven through to approval
and to rejection.

Every signature is recovered and compared to the approved address; the broadcast
transaction is parsed from the bytes captured at eth_sendRawTransaction and
checked for signer, recipient, value, calldata and chain. A signature that
merely came back would pass against a wrong key, a wrong message or a wrong
chain, so each assertion was demonstrated failing against a variant that is
wrong in exactly one of those ways.

The password is asserted absent from every message crossing the extension
boundary, which gives #157's fix a permanent floor rather than a one-time
review.

Two defects this surfaced are tracked separately: EIP-1193 error codes never
reach the page (#274), and approving a site connection races the popup teardown
(#275). Neither is asserted as correct here. A real dApp with real funds against
mainnet remains an uncovered human pass and is documented as such.

+It also covers the **dApp approval round trips** — the one place where the
+content script, the inpage provider, the background worker and the approval
+popup all have to work together. A local test page is served by the route
+handler on a reserved-TLD origin, gets `window.ethereum` from the shipped
+`MAIN`-world content script like any other page, and drives
+`eth_requestAccounts`, `personal_sign`, `eth_signTypedData_v4` and
+`eth_sendTransaction` through the real prompts. Every signature is recovered in
+the runner and compared against the active address, the transaction assertions
+run against the raw signed transaction captured at `eth_sendRawTransaction`
+rather than against anything the extension reported, rejecting each prompt is
+required to return a rejection to the page rather than hang or resolve, and the
+password is required to be absent from every message the approval window sends
+to the background — with the message that would carry it required to be present,
+so that check cannot pass by observing nothing. That last one is the standing
+floor under [#157](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/157).
+
+Three limits of that coverage, none of them papered over. The RPC is stubbed
+throughout, so this is **not** a real dApp against a real network with real
+funds; that remains a human pass before 1.0.0. The site-connection prompt is
+raised through `chrome.action.openPopup()`, and headless Chromium's
+browser-action popup is not a page Playwright can see or click, so that one
+prompt is driven at the URL the extension itself puts on the action — the same
+page and the same approval id, but whether a real toolbar click shows it is not
+observable here. And the EIP-1193 error code does not survive the last hop: the
+rejection that crosses the boundary carries code 4001 and is asserted to, but
+`src/content/inpage.js` rebuilds it as `new Error(message)`, so the calling page
+catches an error with no `code` property.
+
 Any test that drives a failure path on purpose declares the `console.error` it
 is about to provoke, via `errors.expect()`. That is not a mute: the declaration
 consumes exactly one matching record, and a declaration nothing matched fails

 # Completed Steps
 
+- 2026-08-12: The dApp approval round trips are driven end to end in the
+  browser. A test page served by the harness speaks EIP-1193 to the real inpage
+  provider through the real content script, background worker and approval popup
+  for `eth_requestAccounts`, `personal_sign`, `eth_signTypedData_v4` and
+  `eth_sendTransaction`. Every signature is recovered and compared against the
+  active address, the transaction is checked against the bytes handed to the
+  stubbed RPC, each rejection must reach the page as a rejection, and the
+  password must appear in no message the approval window sends — the assertion
+  that gives [#157](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/157) a permanent
+  floor. This does not discharge a real dApp with real funds against mainnet
+  ([#183](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/183)).
