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.
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. They all go through tests/support/storageStub.js now, which
structured-clones in both directions.

The persisted view stack was restored verbatim. RESTORABLE_VIEWS stopped the
popup opening ONTO a view it will not re-render, but nothing kept such a view
out of the stack, so Back could land on a screen whose content was deliberately
never restored. No secret leaks -- those views are blank precisely because
nothing is restored into them; this is a navigation defect.
loadState() now truncates the stored stack at the first entry outside
RESTORABLE_VIEWS, dropping it and everything above it. Truncating rather than
splicing keeps the result a prefix of what was stored, so every surviving entry
keeps the Back target it had; splicing would silently re-point the entry above
the hole at a different screen. Filtering on load rather than on save is what
makes it retroactive for stacks already in storage, and leaves the live
in-session stack whole, which it should be.
The general case where Back lands on a blank screen even for restorable views,
because goBack() re-renders nothing, is separate and tracked at #268.
