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.

+### Firefox (`make test-e2e-firefox`)
+
+`make test-e2e-firefox` builds `dist/firefox/` and drives the **real popup in a
+real Firefox**, installed as an unpacked MV2 temporary add-on via geckodriver.
+It covers popup load, wallet creation through the UI, and the Add Token screen.
+The suite lives in `tests/e2e/firefox/` and has **no npm dependencies at all**:
+it is a small WebDriver client built on global `fetch` and `child_process`
+against geckodriver's HTTP API.
+
+Unlike the Chrome suite it builds its own container image rather than pulling a
+published one, because no published image carries both a pinned Firefox and a
+matching geckodriver. `tests/e2e/firefox/Dockerfile` pins all three external
+artifacts by digest — the `node` base image, the Firefox 153.0.3 tarball, and
+geckodriver 0.36.0 — and the Firefox version in particular must not float:
+`-remote-allow-system-access` is **mandatory** on 153 and was not on 142.
+Without that flag, both navigating to `moz-extension://` and running
+chrome-context script fail with `unsupported operation`. The flag grants the
+driver full chrome privileges over that browser, which is acceptable only
+because it is a throwaway container.
+
+The popup's `moz-extension://` uuid is **pinned, not discovered**: the profile
+pref `extensions.webextensions.uuids` maps the extension id that
+`manifest/firefox.json` already declares to a fixed uuid, so the popup URL is
+deterministic. Navigation uses **classic** WebDriver `POST /session/{id}/url`,
+because BiDi's `browsingContext.navigate` refuses `moz-extension://` outright.
+
+**Any uncaught error from a `moz-extension://` source fails the run**, including
+errors from the background page, which the suite never navigates to: a `throw`
+at the top of `src/background/index.js` kills the background page and fails
+step 1. Content-script errors should arrive by the same route, but this suite
+does not exercise it and does not claim it — with `--network none` there is no
+`http://` page for a content script to be injected into. Errors from add-on
+install and background startup are folded into step 1 rather than discarded.
+Errors are read from the privileged `nsIConsoleService` in Marionette's chrome
+context and filtered to non-warning entries whose `sourceName` is the extension
+origin. That mechanism is not a stylistic choice. WebDriver BiDi's
+`log.entryAdded` delivers **nothing** for extension pages: on a plain `http://`
+page it reports uncaught errors with stack traces, and on the `moz-extension://`
+popup it reports zero events, because Firefox's remote agent excludes extension
+browsing contexts from BiDi observation. Any harness built on Playwright-BiDi or
+Puppeteer-BiDi would therefore see nothing and report success, which is exactly
+the vacuous check this repo has already shipped twice. Do not migrate this suite
+to BiDi.
+
+Two limits are worth knowing, both real differences from the Chrome suite:
+
+- **Error capture is poll-based, not event-streamed.** The console is drained at
+  each step boundary, so an error is attributed to the step it was drained
+  after, not to a moment within it. The window that is drained runs from add-on
+  install to **≈1.5s** after the last step returns — a 500ms settle, a 1000ms
+  tail sleep and two drain round trips — and then the browser is torn down. That
+  cut-off is not a hard boundary: with throws scheduled at fixed offsets, three
+  runs reported everything up to +1.5s and one of the three also reported +1.6s,
+  so an error landing near it may or may not be seen, and anything well past it
+  is not. Inside the window there is no race — each drain reads and clears the
+  console in a single chrome round trip, so an error logged mid-drain lands in
+  that batch or the next rather than being destroyed unread — but there is a
+  **capacity limit**: `nsIConsoleService` keeps a ring buffer of 250 messages
+  and silently evicts the oldest, so more than 250 console messages between two
+  drains destroys the excess unread. 400 throws inside one step are reported as
+  exactly the newest 250, three runs running. That buffer is shared with
+  Firefox's own console noise; a clean run peaks at 4 of 250 at the install
+  drain and 0 at every later drain, so the three steps here have wide headroom,
+  but a step that logs heavily could evict unread errors. What poll-based costs
+  is location, not coverage: an error cannot be placed within a step the way the
+  Chrome suite's `pageerror` events place it.
+- **Nothing is stubbed, which inverts the coverage of network-dependent code.**
+  There is no fixture layer; the container runs with `--network none` instead,
+  so the run is offline and deterministic and no request can escape. The
+  extension swallows its own fetch failures, so the flows are unaffected — but
+  every network call fails, so only the _failure_ branches of code that depends
+  on one are ever executed. A `ReferenceError` in the success path of
+  `renderTransactions`, or of price or balance rendering, passes this suite
+  green. The offline run is also weaker than the Chrome suite's interception: it
+  proves nothing got out, but it cannot report which requests were attempted.
+  Closing that gap needs a fixture layer, deliberately out of scope for this
+  harness.
+
+Neither `make test-e2e` nor `make test-e2e-firefox` is part of `make check` or
+`make test`. `REPO_POLICIES.md` caps `make test` at 20 seconds and a browser
+suite does not fit; nothing in `tests/e2e/` is named `*.test.js`, so jest cannot
+pick it up either. Neither is wired into the Gitea workflow yet —
+docker-in-docker in CI is a separate question. Run them locally before changing
+anything under `src/popup/views/`.

 # Completed Steps
 
+- 2026-08-14: One transaction approval at a time. Populating in the background
+  before the window opens is what makes the displayed object the verified
+  object, and it also fixes the nonce: two `eth_sendTransaction` calls populated
+  concurrently took the same nonce from a node that had seen neither broadcast,
+  and the second could then never be sent, because the only way to give it a
+  fresh nonce is to populate it again after the user has read the old one off
+  the screen. A second request is now refused with EIP-1193 `-32002` while one
+  is unanswered — before anything is populated, so no second nonce is allocated
+  and no second window opens — and the slot is freed when the page has its
+  answer. Signature approvals are not gated, consuming no nonce. A collision
+  that does happen is also reported accurately now: 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 say the transaction
+  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)).
+- 2026-08-12: A containerized Firefox end-to-end harness
+  (`make test-e2e-firefox`) drives the real popup in a real Firefox with the MV2
+  build installed as a temporary add-on. Zero npm dependencies — a WebDriver
+  client over `fetch` against geckodriver — with `node`, Firefox 153.0.3 and
+  geckodriver 0.36.0 all pinned by digest. Uncaught errors are read from the
+  privileged console service in Marionette's chrome context, because BiDi
+  `log.entryAdded` reports nothing at all for extension pages; each drain reads
+  and clears the console in one chrome round trip, so no error is destroyed
+  unread by the drain itself, and errors logged during add-on install and
+  background startup are folded into step 1 instead of being cleared. The two
+  measured limits are documented rather than claimed away: the console ring
+  buffer holds 250 messages (a clean run peaks at 4), and the drained window
+  ends ≈1.5s after the last step returns. Demonstrated discriminating by exiting
+  1 on a `throw` at the top of `src/background/index.js`, on a build with one
+  import removed, on a `setTimeout` throw whose UI assertions all pass, on an
+  unhandled `Promise.reject` and on an undefined identifier in `home.js`, and 0
+  on the branch as it stands
+  ([#184](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/184)).
+- 2026-08-12: The transaction a dApp asks for is now populated in the background
+  before the approval window opens, so the object the user is shown is the
+  object the signed artifact is verified against — nonce, gas limit and every
+  fee field are compared exactly instead of being left to the ceilings, which
+  stay as a backstop against what a lying RPC node can talk the wallet into
+  displaying. The approval also pins the address it was raised for, so an
+  address switch between approval and signing refuses rather than signing from
+  an account the screen never named, and a request naming an address that is not
+  the active one is refused outright. The approval screen now shows the fee, gas

+// The nonce, the gas limit and the fees have to be filled in from the network
+// before anything can be signed, and whoever fills them in decides what the
+// user is shown. That work used to happen in the popup, after the user had
+// already approved: the numbers on the approval screen came from the popup and
+// were compared against nothing, so a compromised popup could display one fee

+// So it happens here instead, in the background, before the approval window is
+// opened. The background populates the transaction, shows that object, and
+// verifies the signed artifact against that same object — the popup is handed
+// a finished transaction and signs it as given. Every field the user reads is
+// then a field that is compared.

+// The cost is an RPC round trip before the approval window exists. Nothing is
+// displayed while it is in flight, and a failure — an unreachable node, a
