Description
### What is this about?
When a user processes a transaction from a dapp and returns to the wallet view, the wallet should automatically switch to the network on which the last transaction was made. This ensures that users immediately see the most relevant network context for their recent activity.
### Scenario
- Process a transaction from a dapp on a specific network.
- Navigate back to the wallet view.
- Observe that the wallet remains on the previous network instead of switching to the network used for the transaction.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Trace how a dapp transaction completes and how the wallet view selects its active network, then inspect existing tests around those flows. Done means returning to the wallet after a transaction selects the transaction's network and preserves existing behavior otherwise.
