fix: a shared ticker no longer hides one of its two real tokens (closes #276)
Seven bundled tokens were filtered as spoofs at their own address, so a user
holding FRAX, TON, REUSD, EURE, MSUSD, MUSD or JPYC could not see or spend the
one the wallet happened not to pick.

The known-symbol table is derived from the bundled token list, first-wins in
market-cap order, so a symbol that appears twice silently condemned its second
contract. Both are real tokens from the same fetch and neither is stale --
three pairs are one issuer's old and new contract, four are unrelated issuers
sharing a ticker. Picking a winner would have been guessing, and dropping the
ambiguous symbols would have ended spoof filtering for those tickers entirely.

The table now maps a symbol to the set of addresses that legitimately bear it.
A contract outside the set is still a spoof, so the check is not weakened: a
third contract bearing any of the seven shared tickers is refused, and that is
tested. The filter decides what is fake, not what is worth holding, so a legacy
contract stays in the set -- it still holds real balances.

A test walks the whole bundled list asserting no token is filtered at its own
address, which is the guard whose absence let this ship.

// The known-symbol spoof rule, in one place.
//
// A token that borrows a known symbol from a contract that is not the one
// that symbol belongs to is a spoof, and the wallet hides it. Three surfaces
// ask that question — the transaction history, the Send token selector and
// the balance list — and they must answer it identically: a token the history
// calls fake while the balance list lists it as a holding is worse than
// either verdict alone, because the balance list is where the user forms
// their belief about what they own (issue #235).
//
// KNOWN_SYMBOLS maps a symbol to the set of lowercased contract addresses
// that may bear it, or to null. Null means the symbol belongs to the native
// asset, which has no contract at all, so no contract may bear it and every
// one that does is a spoof. "ETH" is the only such entry today; the rule is
// written so that a second one needs no change here or at any call site.
//
// The value is a set because a ticker is not unique: seven symbols in the
// bundled list belong to two real contracts each, and answering with one of
// them hid the other one's holders' money (issue #276). Membership, not
// equality, is therefore the question — but it is the same question, asked of
// a table that can now state the truth. Every address in a set is one the
// wallet ships as a real token; a contract outside the set is still a spoof.
//
// The symbol is attacker-controlled — it is whatever the ERC-20 contract
// returns — so the lookup is done on a normalized form (issue #260): the
// question is whether the symbol reaches the user's eye as a known one,
// since that is what the user acts on.
const { KNOWN_SYMBOLS } = require("./tokenList");
// Ethereum addresses are case-insensitive: EIP-55 mixed case is a checksum
// over the address, not part of its identity.

// Fold a symbol onto what a user actually sees, and no further:
//
// NFKC collapses compatibility variants that render as the ASCII
// letters they imitate — fullwidth ETH, styled mathematical
// letters — and maps the non-ASCII spaces onto U+0020.
// strip drops what paints nothing: \p{Cf} plus
// \p{Default_Ignorable_Code_Point} plus U+007F. That covers
// the format characters (zero-width space, joiner and
// non-joiner, word joiner, soft hyphen, byte-order mark, bidi
// marks and overrides), the variation selectors, the Hangul
// fillers, and DELETE. Removed everywhere, not merely at the
// ends.
// trim removes surrounding whitespace, which HTML collapses:
// `" ETH "` is painted next to the user's real ETH as `ETH`.
// toUpperCase makes the comparison case-insensitive, as before.
//
// The rule is "strip what paints nothing". The Unicode classes are how
// that is spelled, not what it means, which is why U+007F is named on its
// own: it is a control rather than a default-ignorable character, so no
// class here reaches it, yet it paints nothing all the same. Measured in
// the repo's pinned e2e Chromium (16px sans-serif, plain `ETH` = 32.00px,
// so an invisible prefix leaves 32.00px):
//
// U+007F, U+3164, U+115F, U+FE0F, U+FE00 32.00px — invisible
// U+FFA0 40.00px — a box
// U+1160 48.00px — a box
// U+0001, U+0085, U+0090 48.00px — a box
//
// U+1160 and U+FFA0 are `Default_Ignorable_Code_Point` members that font
// fallback nonetheless draws, and they are stripped anyway: erring toward
// hiding a token that does not look like `ETH` is the harmless direction of
// the two. The other controls are left alone for the same reason read the
// other way — a symbol carrying a visible box does not reach the eye as
// `ETH`, so filtering it would hide a token the user could not have
// confused with the native asset.
//
// Deliberately not folded, and asserted as open in tests/symbolSpoof.test.js:
// interior whitespace (`E T H` renders as `E T H`, so folding it would filter
// a token nobody could confuse with the native asset), confusables that are
// distinct letters rather than compatibility variants (Cyrillic capital Ie,
// U+0415; Greek capital Epsilon, U+0395), bidi reordering, which needs the
// bidi algorithm rather than a character filter, and the visible controls.
//
// This decides only how the question is asked. Nothing here changes what a
// surface displays; a token still shows the symbol it reports.
