extension forgets metadata

[brenzi]

• Bug report
• browser: brave Version 1.73.91 Chromium: 131.0.6778.85 (Official Build) (64-bit)
• extension version: 0.56.1

Lately, I need to do metadata upgrades repeatedely, even for the same runtime version

Reproduce:

• visit https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc.ibp.network%2Fpolkadot#/settings/metadata
• do 1002007 -> 1003004
• visit https://polkadot-dotapps-io.ipns.dweb.link/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc-polkadot.luckyfriday.io#/settings
• need to do 1002007 -> 1003004 again
• do other stuff (not 100% reproducible)
• visit again: https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=wss%3A%2F%2Frpc.ibp.network%2Fpolkadot#/settings/metadata
• need to do 1002007 -> 1003004 again
• ....

I even think this may be what currently breaks ledger support for me. The signer complains that it has no metadata when I try to sign with ledger (ledger injected via extension)

is this behaviour consistent on your side? I have tried your workflow with Polkadot Relay Chain and other paras and I couldn't reproduce.

It happens frequently / every few days, but I can't reliably reproduce it
