A zap answered by two tabs no longer reports as failed.

Every open tab of the same wallet sees every wallet-connect request. Two
hidden tabs on one laptop both tried to pay the same zap: the ASP refused
the second with "payment already in progress", and that error reached
Amethyst half a second before the first tab's preimage. A Web Lock per
request now lets one tab (or the worker) answer while the rest stay
quiet, and a device that does meet "already in progress" waits for the
sibling payment's outcome — relaying its preimage only if the payer never
speaks — instead of shouting a failure over sats that went through. The
losing side also stops writing a failed row into history for it.
