A stored allowedSites whose value was not a list rendered a working popup and then made every subsequent save fail silently, so the user operated a wallet that persisted nothing -- worse than a blank popup, which is at least visibly broken. fraudContracts and selectedToken had the same shape: a container floored by truthiness or not at all, while its entries were dereferenced. Entries are now floored as well as containers, following the idiom #311 established, and a failed save raises a persistent banner instead of vanishing into a swallowed rejection.
The per-field justifications that used to live in a hand-written header are replaced by a contract test that drives each field's hostile and falsy values through a real popup boot, so a claim about a field answers to the code rather than to prose. Its guarantee is stated narrowly and deliberately: no structural dereference on the code paths a wholly-corrupted profile takes, which is not every path a stored record takes. The paths it does not drive are named where the claim is made, and are tracked in #379.
Stored state had no version and no structural validation, so a corrupt blob produced a completely blank popup with no message and no recovery control, and made every dApp RPC call from every page answer a generic -32603. There was no reset or wipe control anywhere in the UI.
saveState() now stamps a schema version and loadState() validates the shape. A version it does not understand, or a wallets array it cannot parse, lands on a recovery screen that names the problem, offers the stored record verbatim for export, and offers a destructive reset behind a typed confirmation. Unversioned but valid state -- which every existing install has -- migrates in place and keeps working; it is never shown a wipe prompt. A dApp call against unusable state answers -32007, which EIP-1474 leaves unassigned, rather than -32603. networkById() refuses an unknown id loudly instead of returning mainnet, and networkId is validated so a corrupt value cannot be used as an object key.
Fields the gate does not refuse are floored by type, container and entries both: a malformed trackedTokens or tokenBalances entry is dropped rather than dereferenced. Verified by an independent sweep of 1152 corrupt blobs producing no blank popup, with the same harness showing 9 blanks against the previous revision.
