Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported startup failure using the mnemonic restoration followed by imported private-key restoration on the listed macOS, Chrome, and MetaMask versions. Use the error screenshots to identify the failing entry point; done means MetaMask starts successfully and the imported private key is restored.
