Fixes three low-severity findings from the security review (issue #6):

L3 (inpage.js): isUnlocked() now returns false when no accounts are exposed (was hardcoded true)
L4 (content/index.js + inpage.js): EIP-6963 provider UUID is generated once at install time and persisted in chrome.storage.local, instead of using a hardcoded value
L5 (balances.js): Token name/symbol from RPC responses truncated to 64/12 chars to prevent storage of maliciously long values

All changes are minimal and scoped to the specific findings.

Fixes three low-severity findings from the security review (issue #6): - **L3** (`inpage.js`): `isUnlocked()` now returns `false` when no accounts are exposed (was hardcoded `true`) - **L4** (`content/index.js` + `inpage.js`): EIP-6963 provider UUID is generated once at install time and persisted in `chrome.storage.local`, instead of using a hardcoded value - **L5** (`balances.js`): Token name/symbol from RPC responses truncated to 64/12 chars to prevent storage of maliciously long values All changes are minimal and scoped to the specific findings.

fix(L3): isUnlocked() returns false when no accounts exposed 571f2d6906

_metamask.isUnlocked() now checks provider.selectedAddress instead of
always returning true.

fix(L4): generate EIP-6963 provider UUID at install time aa15f771d5

UUID is generated once via crypto.randomUUID(), persisted in
chrome.storage.local, and sent from the content script to the
inpage script via postMessage.

fix(L5): truncate token name/symbol from RPC responses

Limits token name to 64 chars and symbol to 12 chars to prevent
storage of excessively long values from malicious contracts.

Code Review

LGTM

✅ No RULES.md or config changes
✅ L3: isUnlocked() correctly checks provider.selectedAddress !== null
✅ L4: UUID persisted via chrome.storage.local, content script sends to inpage via postMessage, re-announces on receipt
✅ L5: Token name capped at 64 chars, symbol at 12 — reasonable limits
✅ Minimal changes, no unrelated modifications

Note: no make check for this JS project (no test runner configured). Changes are straightforward defensive fixes.

Assigning to sneak.

Review notes:

L3 fix ✅ — isUnlocked() now returns based on selectedAddress !== null. Simple and correct.

L5 fix ✅ — Name/symbol truncation. Clean.

L4 fix ⚠️ — Two issues:

The content script sends the UUID via window.postMessage(..., "*") — this is the same "*" target origin pattern we flagged as Critical finding #2. Should use location.origin.
The inpage script accepts AUTISTMASK_PROVIDER_UUID from any same-page message sender. A malicious page script could send a fake UUID message to change the provider UUID. While the UUID is not security-sensitive (it is a fingerprint, not a secret), it contradicts the goal of having a stable per-install UUID. Consider adding a one-shot listener that only accepts the first UUID message and ignores subsequent ones.

Neither issue is a blocker — the UUID is not a secret. But fixing #1 is trivial and consistent with the Critical #2 fix in PR #7.

Rebased on main (after PR #7 merge) and addressed the two L4 review notes:

Content script now uses location.origin instead of "*" for the UUID postMessage
Inpage UUID listener is now one-shot (removes itself after first message)

Assigned to sneak for merge.

You committed unformatted code. Please take steps to ensure you never do that again. Perhaps updating your AGENTS.md to add "make check" as a precommit hook in all checked out repos is a good idea, but I'm open to suggestions.

Fixed — ran prettier on src/content/index.js, pushed formatting commit.

On preventing this: good idea on the pre-commit hook. I'll add a step to my clone setup that installs a git pre-commit hook running make check (or at minimum the formatter check) in every repo I work on. Adding this to my checklist now.
