Fixes USD prices still showing on the main view when connected to a testnet (e.g. Sepolia). The root cause was stale mainnet prices lingering in the in-memory price cache after switching networks.
Root Cause
PR #137 correctly made refreshPrices() skip fetching on testnets, but the cached prices from a prior mainnet session remained in the prices object. All display functions (getPrice(), getAddressValueUsd(), etc.) used whatever was cached without checking which network was active.
Changes
src/shared/prices.js
refreshPrices() now clears the price cache when on a testnet instead of silently returning
New clearPrices() function empties the cache and resets the fetch timestamp
getPrice() returns null on testnets (defense-in-depth)
getAddressValueUsd(), getWalletValueUsd(), getTotalValueUsd() return null on testnets
src/popup/views/settings.js
Network switcher immediately clears prices when switching to a testnet, so the UI updates without waiting for the next refresh cycle
## Summary
Fixes USD prices still showing on the main view when connected to a testnet (e.g. Sepolia). The root cause was stale mainnet prices lingering in the in-memory price cache after switching networks.
### Root Cause
PR #137 correctly made `refreshPrices()` skip fetching on testnets, but the cached prices from a prior mainnet session remained in the `prices` object. All display functions (`getPrice()`, `getAddressValueUsd()`, etc.) used whatever was cached without checking which network was active.
### Changes
- **`src/shared/prices.js`**
- `refreshPrices()` now clears the price cache when on a testnet instead of silently returning
- New `clearPrices()` function empties the cache and resets the fetch timestamp
- `getPrice()` returns null on testnets (defense-in-depth)
- `getAddressValueUsd()`, `getWalletValueUsd()`, `getTotalValueUsd()` return null on testnets
- **`src/popup/views/settings.js`**
- Network switcher immediately clears prices when switching to a testnet, so the UI updates without waiting for the next refresh cycle
closes #139
When connected to a testnet (e.g. Sepolia), stale mainnet prices from
the in-memory cache caused USD values to display even though
refreshPrices() correctly skipped fetching. Three fixes applied:
- refreshPrices() now clears the price cache when on a testnet instead
of silently returning, removing any stale mainnet prices
- getPrice(), getAddressValueUsd(), getWalletValueUsd(), and
getTotalValueUsd() all return null when the current network is a
testnet, as defense-in-depth
- The settings network switcher immediately clears prices when
switching to a testnet, so the UI updates without waiting for the
next refresh cycle
closes#139
Network switcher immediately clears prices when switching to a testnet, so the UI updates without waiting for the next refresh cycle
I'd like to see a general chain-switching state updating/clearing function that consolidates all of the things that need to be done on a chain switch. We may one day support ETC or other chains that are close enough to be super easy to support now that we already have to support testnet.

When price is null (testnet), the fallback value 0 caused formatUsd()
to display "$0.00" instead of hiding the USD value. Using null makes
formatUsd() return an empty string, so the UI correctly shows no USD
on the token detail view.
Fixed the review finding: addressToken.js:165 now uses null instead of 0 as the fallback when price is unavailable (testnet), so formatUsd(null) returns "" instead of "$0.00". Docker build passes.
Fixed the review finding: `addressToken.js:165` now uses `null` instead of `0` as the fallback when price is unavailable (testnet), so `formatUsd(null)` returns `""` instead of `"$0.00"`. Docker build passes.
Bug fix confirmed: addressToken.js:165 now uses null instead of 0, so formatUsd() correctly returns "" instead of "$0.00".
Defense in depth: getPrice(), getAddressValueUsd(), getWalletValueUsd(), getTotalValueUsd() all return null on testnet.
Network switch cleanup: clearPrices() called both in refreshPrices() and on network switch in settings.js.
All views checked: home.js, addressDetail.js, addressToken.js, confirmTx.js, helpers.js — all handle null prices gracefully.
Docker build passes with make check green.
Ready to merge.
**Second-round review: APPROVED ✅**
All issues from the first review are resolved:
1. **Bug fix confirmed**: `addressToken.js:165` now uses `null` instead of `0`, so `formatUsd()` correctly returns `""` instead of `"$0.00"`.
2. **Defense in depth**: `getPrice()`, `getAddressValueUsd()`, `getWalletValueUsd()`, `getTotalValueUsd()` all return `null` on testnet.
3. **Network switch cleanup**: `clearPrices()` called both in `refreshPrices()` and on network switch in `settings.js`.
4. **All views checked**: `home.js`, `addressDetail.js`, `addressToken.js`, `confirmTx.js`, `helpers.js` — all handle null prices gracefully.
5. **Docker build passes** with `make check` green.

[rework] Implemented consolidated chain-switching function per sneak's feedback.
What changed
Created src/shared/chainSwitch.js with a single onChainSwitch(newNetworkId) function that handles every state change required when switching networks:
Core identity — sets networkId, rpcUrl, blockscoutUrl from the network config
Price cache — clears all cached prices (testnet tokens are worthless; ETC/other chains have different pricing)
Balance state — resets lastBalanceRefresh to 0 (forces immediate refresh), clears per-address balances and token balances so stale data from the previous chain is never displayed
Chain-specific caches — clears tokenHolderCache and fraudContracts (both chain-specific)
Persist — saves state
Callers consolidated
Both chain-switch paths now go through onChainSwitch():
This also fixes a bug where the background handler was not updating blockscoutUrl on chain switch.
Future chain additions
Adding a new chain (e.g. ETC) now requires only a new entry in networks.js — no per-caller wiring needed.
Defense in depth
prices.js now has testnet guards in getPrice(), getAddressValueUsd(), getWalletValueUsd(), and getTotalValueUsd() — all return null on testnet regardless of cache state.
Additional fixes
addressToken.js: hardcoded etherscan.io token link → network-aware currentNetwork().explorerUrl
addressToken.js: USD fallback 0 → null so formatUsd() returns "" instead of "$0.00" when price is unavailable
**[rework]** Implemented consolidated chain-switching function per [sneak's feedback](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/pulls/142#issuecomment-2067).
## What changed
Created [`src/shared/chainSwitch.js`](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/src/branch/fix/issue-139-testnet-usd-display/src/shared/chainSwitch.js) with a single `onChainSwitch(newNetworkId)` function that handles **every** state change required when switching networks:

5. **Persist** — saves state
## Callers consolidated
Both chain-switch paths now go through `onChainSwitch()`:
- **Settings UI** ([`settings.js`](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/src/branch/fix/issue-139-testnet-usd-display/src/popup/views/settings.js)) — network dropdown handler
- **Background** ([`background/index.js`](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/src/branch/fix/issue-139-testnet-usd-display/src/background/index.js)) — `wallet_switchEthereumChain` RPC handler
This also **fixes a bug** where the background handler was not updating `blockscoutUrl` on chain switch.
## Future chain additions
Adding a new chain (e.g. ETC) now requires only a new entry in [`networks.js`](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/src/branch/fix/issue-139-testnet-usd-display/src/shared/networks.js) — no per-caller wiring needed.

## Additional fixes
- `addressToken.js`: hardcoded `etherscan.io` token link → network-aware `currentNetwork().explorerUrl`
- `addressToken.js`: USD fallback `0` → `null` so `formatUsd()` returns `""` instead of `"$0.00"` when price is unavailable
Docker build passes (49 tests green, lint/format clean).
Verified via grep: state.networkId is set only in chainSwitch.js (runtime) and state.js (initialization). No scattered chain-switch logic remains.
Defense in depth ✅
prices.js guards getPrice(), getAddressValueUsd(), getWalletValueUsd(), getTotalValueUsd() — all return null on testnet. formatUsd(null) returns "", so UI shows no USD values.
Additional fixes ✅

addressToken.js — USD fallback 0 → null so formatUsd() returns "" not "$0.00"

No test weakening

[`src/shared/chainSwitch.js`](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/AutistMask/src/branch/fix/issue-139-testnet-usd-display/src/shared/chainSwitch.js) handles every state change on chain switch:

2. **Price cache** — `clearPrices()` wipes stale data
3. **Balance state** — `lastBalanceRefresh` reset to 0, per-address `balance` and `tokenBalances` cleared
4. **Chain-specific caches** — `tokenHolderCache` and `fraudContracts` cleared
5. **Persist** — `saveState()` called
