A user who forgot their password but held their recovery phrase was permanently
locked out: deletion was password-gated and re-importing the phrase was refused
as a duplicate. Their only escape was destroying extension storage through
browser internals, taking every other wallet with it.
DeleteWallet gains an "I have lost my password" route that destroys the stored
secret after the wallet's name is typed back. No password gate was added:
requiring one to discard a secret protects nothing, since an attacker who wants
destruction can uninstall the extension, and the only person it stops is the
legitimate user who lost it. The screen is excluded from RESTORABLE_VIEWS and
registers an onViewLeave cleanup.
Deletion was chosen over re-import because a key wallet is duplicate-checked by
address rather than xpub, so an xpub-only relaxation would leave that user
still wedged; because re-import makes the user retype their recovery phrase
into a live popup merely to change a password; and because it reaches no end
state that delete-then-import plus scanForAddresses() does not. The attacker
argument did not decide it — re-import clears the "no worse than the phrase
alone" bar.
All three AddWallet password hints now state the password cannot be recovered
or reset and name that mode's only backup, the xprv mode correctly claiming no
recovery phrase. deleteAddress.js no longer tells the user that deleting a
wallet asks for a password, which this change made false.
The typed confirmation collapses internal whitespace on both sides: a wallet
renamed with two spaces displays with one, so the string a user could see and
type could never match, making the confirmation untypable on the one screen
whose purpose is un-wedging a stuck user.

test-e2e 55/55, test-e2e-firefox 8/8.
A rejected password was reported three different ways depending on which screen
you were on, including the fragment "Wrong password." which is not a sentence.
All six decryptWithPassword call sites now show the same full sentence.
Strings only -- a wrong password still fails closed on every screen and still
resolves no pending approval.
A test pins the invariant per call site: each decryptWithPassword call is walked
out to its enclosing try and forward to that block's catch, and the prose shown
there must equal the canonical sentence. Per-file matching was not enough, since
a file with two call sites kept passing while one of them diverged.
## Summary
Fixes the view stack pop bug where pressing Back in Settings (or any view) always returned to Main instead of the previous view.
Closes [issue #134](#134)
## Problem
The popup UI had no navigation stack. Every back button was hardcoded to a specific destination (usually Main). The reported path:
> Main → Address → Transaction → Settings (gear icon) → Back
...would go to Main instead of returning to the Transaction view.
## Solution
Implemented a proper view navigation stack (like iOS) as already described in the README:
- **`viewStack`** array added to persisted state — survives popup close/reopen
- **`pushCurrentView()`** — pushes the current view name onto the stack before any forward navigation
- **`goBack()`** — pops the stack and shows the previous view; falls back to Main if the stack is empty; re-renders the wallet list when returning to Main
- **`clearViewStack()`** — resets the stack for root transitions (e.g., after adding/deleting a wallet)
### What Changed
1. **helpers.js** — Added navigation stack functions (`pushCurrentView`, `goBack`, `clearViewStack`, `setRenderMain`)
2. **state.js** — Added `viewStack` to persisted state
3. **index.js** — All `ctx.show*()` wrappers now push before navigating forward; gear button uses stack for toggle behavior
4. **All view back buttons** — Replaced hardcoded destinations with `goBack()` (settings, addressDetail, addressToken, transactionDetail, send, receive, addToken, confirmTx, addWallet, settingsAddToken, deleteWallet, export-privkey)
5. **Direct `showView()` forward navigations** — Added `pushCurrentView()` calls before `showView("send")` in addressDetail, addressToken, and home; before `showView("export-privkey")` in addressDetail; before `deleteWallet.show()` in settings
6. **Reset-to-root transitions** — `clearViewStack()` called after adding a wallet (all 3 import types), after deleting the last wallet, and after transaction completion (Done button)
### Navigation Paths Verified
- **Main → Settings → Back** → returns to Main ✓
- **Main → Address → Settings → Back** → returns to Address ✓
- **Main → Address → Transaction → Settings → Back** → returns to Transaction ✓ (the reported bug)
- **Main → Address → Token → Send → ConfirmTx → Back → Back → Back → Back** → unwinds correctly through each view back to Main ✓
- **Main → Address → Token → Transaction → Settings → Back** → returns to Transaction ✓
- **Settings → Add Wallet → (add) → Main** → stack cleared, fresh root ✓
- **Settings → Delete Wallet → Back** → returns to Settings ✓
- **Settings → Delete Wallet → (confirm)** → stack reset to [main], settings shown ✓
- **Address → Send → ConfirmTx → (broadcast) → SuccessTx → Done** → stack reset, returns to address context ✓
- **Popup close/reopen** → viewStack persisted, back navigation still works ✓

Replace display:none (hidden class) with visibility:hidden/visible for all
error, warning, and status message elements across the extension UI. This
prevents layout shift when messages appear or disappear.
Changes:
- helpers.js: showError/hideError now use visibility instead of hidden class
- index.html: all error/status divs use visibility:hidden + min-height
- confirmTx.js: warnings, errors, fee section use visibility
- approval.js: tx-error, sign-error, danger-warning use visibility
- addressDetail.js: export-privkey-flash uses visibility
- deleteWallet.js: delete-wallet-flash uses visibility
- addWallet.js: phrase-warning uses visibility
- receive.js: erc20-warning uses visibility
- addToken.js: add-token-info uses visibility
- settingsAddToken.js: settings-addtoken-info uses visibility
Replace the inline confirmation div at the bottom of Settings with a
proper full-screen view (view-delete-wallet-confirm). This fixes the
issue where the confirmation was offscreen on the 360x600 popup.
- New view with back button, title, warning text, password input,
and red-text Confirm Delete button
- Dedicated flash area for password errors
- New deleteWallet.js module with init/show pattern
- Added delete-wallet-confirm to VIEWS array in helpers.js
- Removed old inline confirmation HTML and logic from settings
