Research direction

Reproduce the send and swap flows with a connected, locked Ledger, then trace the error handling that leads to the “Something went wrong” modal. Done means a locked device produces a specific locked-device error, while the same transactions succeed after unlocking; verify both flows in Chrome on macOS.
