+ * MM is an extension and communicates with the page in a way that

+ * via the wallet provider will not be intercepted, and any calls to the provider
+ * will be made directly to the provider and in the case of anvil we'll always
+ * have access to the signer without authentication.
+ *
+ * For this reason, it's kinda difficult to simulate failed transactions due
+ * to wallet provider issues as 1. Anvil will always succeed and 2. Returning
+ * a spoofed error causes the claim-loader to infite spin. This may be due to
+ * how the tests are structured or due to how errors are being handled in the portal.
+ *
+ * We are injecting the signer as a global variable to the window object
+ * which is applied in an error handler of connectWallet.
+ *
+ * This is a bit of a hack, but it's the only way to get a valid signer
+ * into the test env without having extensions installed.
