chore: keep the internal view id out of the release banner (closes #375)

The debug/testnet banner appended the active view's internal id, so the
user saw text like "[TESTNET] (approve-tx)" — developer vocabulary, and on
the approval screen it sat directly above the carefully worded line stating
what is being authorized. The view id is now gated on the compile-time
DEBUG constant instead of isDebug(), so it survives only in a debug build.
A testnet or the runtime debug toggle still raises the banner, but without
the view id, which is what a release build shows.

+- 2026-09-21: A transaction response is honoured only for a transaction
+  approval, and the three remaining approval-settlement paths are pinned
+  ([#262](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/262)). The liveness fix
+  the issue asks for — settle `4001` on release when the window it would be
+  retried in is gone — already landed with
+  [#271](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/271); this closes the rest.
+  `AUTISTMASK_TX_RESPONSE` now refuses any approval that is not a transaction
+  approval, so a reject no longer retires a sign or connection approval and a
+  signed artifact never runs the broadcast path against one, which before only
+  failed closed by throwing deeper in. Tests pin the site-connection port's
+  approve, reject and disconnect paths against a transaction approval
+  broadcasting behind them: each is declined and the dApp still receives its
