Description

### Describe the issue
Since the multichain update (v13.5+), MetaMask no longer shows the truncated wallet addresses in the account selector or dApp connection window — only the account names.

This makes it extremely annoying and risky to connect, because you can’t confirm which address you’re using when switching between multiple accounts. Account names alone aren’t sufficient, especially when several are named similarly or restored from seed.

### Steps to reproduce
1. Open MetaMask v13.5+ (extension)
2. Try connecting to any dApp (e.g., Uniswap)
3. In the connection popup > Edit accounts, notice that the account list shows only account names, not addresses.

### Expected behavior
The account selector and connection UI should show truncated wallet addresses under each account name, as in v13.4.1 and earlier.

### Environment
- Browser: Chrome
- MetaMask version: 13.6.x
- Platform: macOS

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue in MetaMask extension v13.6.x on Chrome and compare the account selector and dApp connection window with v13.4.1, where addresses were shown. Trace the account-list UI involved in “Edit accounts.” Done means truncated wallet addresses appear beneath account names in both the account selector and connection UI.
