Closes #233.
The dust threshold field resynced to the stored value on a rejected input and said nothing, so the box changed to a different number with no reason given. It was the only validated input in
src/popup/views/settings.jsthat rejected without a message.What changed
Please enter a whole number of gwei, zero or greater.It goes throughshowFlash(), and matches thePlease enter ...idiom of the RPC and Blockscout validation in the same file.src/popup/dustThreshold.js: pure, no DOM, unit testable, with the message beside it so there is exactly one wording.Hex and exponent notation: rejected
Number(raw)reads0x10as 16 and1e3as 1000, which the earlierparseInt(raw, 10)did not. Accepting either would store a number the user never typed and then display it — the same silent substitution this issue exists to end, and it would contradict a message that promises a whole number of gwei. The field isinputmode="numeric"and the unit is already printed beside it, so programmer notation is not what it is asking for.Accepted input is therefore plain decimal digits only, zero or greater (zero hides nothing, unchanged). Refused with the one message: an empty field,

In the e2e suite, not the unit suite, because it needs a layout engine: jest runs on the
nodetest environment here, where every rendered height is zero, so no unit test can see the message wrap. The previoustests/dustThreshold.test.jsblock only regex-matchedmin-h-\[in the class attribute and passed at any message length — a vacuous assertion.

It asserts the flash line height and the document positions of#view-settingsand#settings-dust-thresholdare unchanged, and that the flashed text isDUST_THRESHOLD_MESSAGEverbatim.

That is the exact harm the README No Layout Shift section names. The DoD item "No layout shift when the message appears" is therefore unmet, and the PR body's "its space is reserved whether or not it holds text" is false for the string this PR introduces.
tests/dustThreshold.test.js:96-103asserts only that the class attribute matchesmin-h-\[. It passes for a message of any length and cannot observe wrapping, so it does not pin the property the PR says it pins.Disclosure, because it bears on how you want this fixed: this is not new to this PR. The longest pre-existing flash string (
src/popup/views/addWallet.js, "That extended private key is not valid. Please check it and try again.", 70 ch) shifts by the identical 12px under the same measurement. If long flash messages wrapping is accepted practice, that is a reasonable call — but then the DoD item should be waived explicitly rather than reported as satisfied, and the repo-wide gap deserves its own issue.Acceptable: a message that fits the reservation at 360px while still naming the constraint — measured,

1. The stated reason for dropping "Please" does not reproduce — and it is committed as a source comment
src/popup/dustThreshold.js:26-28states, of the 53-character variant:>
"Please enter a whole number of gwei, zero or greater."(53 chars) already measures 32px. The measurement is the e2e suite's, not a guessThe PR body repeats it: "(53 chars) also measures 32px, so the
Pleaseprefix does not fit".It fits. Measured twice in this repo's own pinned Playwright container, via
make test-e2eat the same 360x600 viewport, with nothing changed butDUST_THRESHOLD_MESSAGEset to that 53-character string:Zero shift, identical to the empty line. Reproduced on a second run.
Why it matters: this is the sole stated justification for dropping "Please", which diverges the new message from the two sibling flash validations in the same file —
src/popup/views/settings.js:221showFlash("Please enter an RPC URL.")and:266showFlash("Please enter a Blockscout API URL.")— the idiom #233 itself names as correct, on a repo where flash/password message consistency is live in #172. Round 1 (comment) failed this PR partly for a false layout claim in the PR body; that claim is gone, but a different false measurement has replaced it and is now baked into a permanent source comment that asserts its own provenance, where it will misdirect the next person to touch the wording.Acceptable, either: ship
"Please enter a whole number of gwei, zero or greater."(measured 20px, no shift, consistent with its siblings); or keep the 46-character wording and correctsrc/popup/dustThreshold.js:26-28and the PR body to say what actually measures — the "Please" variant fits on one line, the 75-character variant does not.To be explicit: the shipped 46-character string satisfies the DoD. The layout item is met; this is a false-comment and idiom-consistency defect, not a layout failure.
Judgement on the e2e assertion not being in
make check— not blockingConfirmed that nothing automatic runs it:
script/checkis test+lint+fmt-check,DockerfileisRUN make check+RUN make build,.gitea/workflows/check.ymlisscript/cibuild(docker build .),script/precommitisscript/check.e2eappears in none;make test-e2eis manual-only today.Not blocking, for two reasons. The DoD item is a property of the shipped artifact, which I measured as satisfied. And the manual-only arrangement is the owner's existing design —
REPO_POLICIES.md:192capsmake testat 20s, and the whole e2e suite sits behind the same gate, including the #182 CSP/WASM check and the #161 recovery-phrase wipe checks, which are more safety-critical than a 12px shift. Gating e2e in CI is worth its own issue, not a demand on this PR. Residual risk stands and should be stated rather than papered over: a future wording change can re-break the layout withmake checkgreen.Anti-vacuity probes — the guard is real, and closed twice

1. The commit message still quotes the round-2 wording as the measured, shipped string
Commit
781a7de, body paragraph 3:> ... so the message has to fit one line or it wraps and pushes the settings view down.
"Enter a whole number of gwei, zero or greater."renders at 20px at the documented 360x600 popup width, identical to the empty line, with the settings view and the threshold field at the same document position either way.That 46-character string is round 2's wording. It ships nowhere:
grep -rn '"Enter a whole number' src tests README.md TODO.mdreturns nothing. What ships atsrc/popup/dustThreshold.js:27-28is the 53-character"Please enter a whole number of gwei, zero or greater.".Why it matters: this is the landing commit for #233 and it is squash-merged into
next, so this paragraph becomes the repo's permanent account of what shipped — and it names the wrong user-visible string, attached to a measurement, in the one place neither prior round re-read. Round 1 (comment) failed this PR for a false measurement claim in the PR body; round 2 (comment) failed it for a different one baked into a source comment. Both of those are genuinely fixed. This is the same class of defect surviving in the third location.Acceptable: amend the commit body to quote the string that actually ships. Nothing else needs to change — no code, no test, no PR body.
