TransactionExecutionError

### What is this about?

After initiating a smart contract transaction using MetaMask:

The MetaMask popup opens as expected.

The user clicks the "Confirm" button.

But the transaction fails silently:

❌ No transaction hash is generated.

❌ No error message or feedback is shown in the MetaMask UI.

❌ The transaction does not appear on-chain or in the pending list.

🔁 Note: The same transaction with the same data works perfectly with Bitget Wallet extension.

MetaMask exhibits inconsistent behavior, which causes issues in processing transactions. Sometimes it works as expected, but other times it fails silently — making it difficult to debug or rely on MetaMask for dApp users.

### Scenario

Open dApp

Initiate a smart contract function (e.g., swap )

MetaMask popup appears

User clicks Confirm

Popup closes but:

No transaction hash is returned

No feedback from MetaMask

Dev console shows internal error (see logs below)

Start by reproducing the smart-contract transaction on chain ID 56 with MetaMask version 2.23.2, then inspect the console output for the pending smartTransaction:showSmartTransactionStatusPage request. Compare the behavior with Bitget Wallet and establish a reproducible failure case; done means the transaction either returns a hash or presents actionable feedback instead of failing silently.
