requestTxApproval and requestSignApproval were missing the openApprovalWindow fallback. When chrome.action.openPopup() fails (not triggered by user gesture in MV3), no popup appeared. Users had to manually click the toolbar icon.
Fix
All three approval types now use the same pattern: try openPopup() → fall back to centered standalone window. This matches what requestApproval (connection requests) already did.
make check passes (prettier clean, 14 tests).

requestTxApproval and requestSignApproval were missing the
openApprovalWindow fallback that requestApproval (connection
requests) already had. When chrome.action.openPopup() fails
(which it does when not triggered by a user gesture in MV3),
no popup appeared — the user had to manually click the toolbar
icon to find the confirmation screen.
Now all three approval types use the same pattern: try
openPopup() first, fall back to a centered standalone window.
Understood — will rework to fix the actual popup mechanism rather than adding a fallback window. Need to investigate why the toolbar popup fails to open in the first place and fix that root cause.
Also noticed the PR fixes parseInt(approvalId, 10) → approvalId (since IDs are UUIDs not ints) — that's a legitimate bug fix that should stay.
Spawning an agent to investigate the root cause of the popup failure.

Reworked: removed openPopup() entirely from requestTxApproval() and requestSignApproval(). Now uses windows.create() directly, which is the correct mechanism for programmatic approval popups (works from any context, no user gesture required). This matches the standard pattern used by other extension wallets.
Site-connection approvals (requestApproval()) still use openPopup() with window fallback since those can rely on the user clicking the toolbar icon.
Also fixed popup dimensions to 360x600 (matching README spec).
make check output: 2 test suites passed (14 tests), prettier clean.

Reworked — no more fallbacks. Root cause: action.openPopup() was called from the background script during async RPC handling, which isn't a user gesture context (fails silently in Chrome MV3 and Firefox MV2).

Site connection approval (requestApproval()) left unchanged since those work via toolbar click.
