The wallet waits for its own state before painting, so nothing jumps.

The Spending balance and its history are read from the ark store, which is
IndexedDB: synchronous to read, asynchronous to OPEN. Boot didn't wait for
it, so every refresh painted a Spending wallet with nothing in it — no
balance, no history — and filled it in a beat later. On a phone that second
paint arrived as a change rather than an arrival: the balance counted itself
up from 0 in green, wearing the animation a received payment gets.

Boot now waits for the store (capped at 800ms — a store that won't open must
not hold the app hostage), and the shell stays up a moment longer instead of
a wrong balance going up. If the store does land past the cap, initArk
retries on it — so a Spending wallet whose state arrived late also connects,
which it previously didn't until something else happened to kick it — and
that catch-up paint forgets the last amounts first, so it reads as state
arriving rather than money.

Also: the zap tally chip loses its underline. In chat the chip is a reaction
chip too, and .chat-react.on still rings it; on a post row the underline just
read as an artifact.

tools/boot-balance-test.js pins the ordering, with IndexedDB slowed so it
can't pass by luck.
