A new window opens the wallet you last used, not the first one saved.

The active account lived only in sessionStorage, so a link clicked from
outside (a fresh tab or the installed app window) unlocked the vault and
always reopened the first wallet in the directory. The last activated id
is now also kept in localStorage and preferred at every fresh-session
entry point: silent vault unlock, watch-only seeding, the password
prompt, Skip, and the home fallback.
