Description

**What problem are you trying to solve?**
If a user sends a token or ethereum and is left with dust ETH or 0 ETH, they cannot speed up the pending transaction or cancel it. The user will be given an "insufficient funds" message.

**Describe the solution you'd like**
At the time of the initial send, clearly warn the user that they may not have enough ETH remaining to speed up the transaction or cancel it.

**Additional context**
reference support: 34507

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the initial token and Ethereum send flows and the existing insufficient-funds handling for pending transactions. Done means users are warned at send time when remaining ETH may not cover speeding up or cancelling the transaction.
