Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a fresh wallet in Chrome on macOS, importing an SRP, and checking the keyring and account-discovery errors. Done means the import reaches the homepage without either reported error; the payload names no source files or tests, so locating the relevant entry points will require repository investigation.
