fix: one transaction approval at a time, and honest copy for a nonce collision (closes #271)

Populating the transaction in the background before the approval window
opens is what makes the displayed object the verified object. It also
fixes the nonce before the user has answered anything, so two
eth_sendTransaction calls populated concurrently took the same nonce
from a node that had seen neither of them broadcast, and the second
could never be sent: its approved nonce is spent, and the only way to
give it a fresh one is to populate it again after the user has read the
old one off the screen.

A second transaction approval is now refused while one is unanswered,
with EIP-1193 code -32002. The refusal happens before anything is
populated — no second nonce is allocated, no window opens — and the slot
is released when the requesting page has its answer. Signature approvals
are not gated; a signature consumes no nonce.

A collision that does happen is now reported for what it is. A broadcast
the node refused for the nonce, and an approval carrying a nonce this
worker has already broadcast (caught before the node is asked at all),
both report that the transaction did not reach the network and to send
it again, instead of the standing broadcast wording that warns it may
have sent. "already known" keeps that ambiguous wording deliberately: a
node that says it has the transaction has it.

Nothing about verification is weakened. The approval still carries the
transaction the screen displayed, and the artifact is still compared
against that object field for field.

+  did not reach the network and to send it again, instead of warning that it may
+  have sent. `already known` deliberately keeps the ambiguous wording, because a
+  node that says it has the transaction has it
+  ([#271](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/271)).
+- 2026-08-12: EIP-1193 error codes now reach the page. `src/content/inpage.js`
+  rebuilt every failure as `new Error(error.message)`, so the code the
+  background produced and the content script relayed intact was dropped in the
+  last hop and a dApp checking `err.code === 4001` saw `undefined` — a wallet
+  the user deliberately declined was indistinguishable from one that broke. The
+  provider now rejects with a `ProviderRpcError` carrying `code` and, where the
+  boundary sent one, `data`, passed through verbatim rather than matched against
+  a list, so 4001, 4100 and 4902 all arrive and a future code needs no edit
+  here. An error the background sent with no code stays a plain `Error` with no
+  `code` property, and `message` is unchanged in every case. All four request
+  entry points (`request`, `enable`, `send`, `sendAsync`) are covered by
+  `tests/inpageErrors.test.js`, and the e2e probe that printed the missing code
+  now requires it on the page's Error as well as on the wire, for all four
+  rejected flows ([#274](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/274)).
+- 2026-08-12: `KNOWN_SYMBOLS` now maps a symbol to the set of contract addresses
+  that bear it, not to one of them. A ticker is not unique: seven of the 512
+  bundled tokens — `FRAX`, `REUSD`, `TON`, `EURE`, `MSUSD`, `MUSD` and `JPYC` —
+  share a symbol with another bundled entry at a different real contract, and
+  the table, built from the list first-wins, kept only the earlier one. The
+  other seven were judged spoofs of their own symbol at their own address and
+  hidden from the balance list, the history and the send selector, so a holder
+  could not spend them. Both contracts of each pair come from the same CoinGecko
+  fetch of 2026-02-27, so neither was stale and neither was dropped.
+  `isSpoofedSymbol()` asks set membership instead of equality, which does not
+  loosen the rule — a contract outside the set is still a spoof — and a test now
+  walks `TOKENS` asserting no bundled token is filtered at its own address,
+  which is the walk the suite lacked
+  ([#276](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/276)).
+- 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)).
+- 2026-08-12: The known-symbol spoof rule now judges the symbol a user actually
+  sees. `isSpoofedSymbol()` normalizes before the lookup — NFKC, then every
+  character that paints nothing removed (the format and default-ignorable
+  characters, plus U+007F), then trimmed — so `" ETH "`, a no-break space, a
+  zero-width space, a Hangul filler, a variation selector, a DELETE and a
+  fullwidth `ＥＴＨ` are all caught on the balance list, the history and the
+  send selector at once. Confusables that are distinct letters (Cyrillic `Е`),
+  bidi reordering and the visible C0/C1 controls — which measure 48.00px, a box,
+  in the pinned e2e Chromium where an invisible prefix measures 32.00px — stay
+  knowingly open and are asserted as open in the suite. No bundled symbol
+  contains whitespace or a non-ASCII character, so nothing legitimate is newly
+  filtered; the balance list's token-type gate also became case-insensitive,
+  which no longer drops a real holding if an explorer writes `erc-20`
+  ([#260](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/260)).
