### Error messages or log output

```shell
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'addListener'). disabling and enable extension doesn't change the behaviour. in the error log I see this message A preload for 'chrome-extension://ejbalbakoplchlghecdalmeeeajnimhm/_locales/en/messages.json' is found, but is not used because it is a cross-world extension resource mismatch.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure in Microsoft Edge Dev with MetaMask Extension 13.42 and inspect the sidepanel.html context and the reported bootstrap and bundled JavaScript stack traces. Compare behavior around the undefined addListener call and the ObjectMultiplex malformed chunk message. Done means the side panel opens and shows wallets and accounts without these errors.
