Subject: [PATCH 1/9] feat: add duplicate account import prevention

- Add duplicate check in ImportAccountView before account import
- Add duplicate check in ImportDerivedAccountView for derived accounts
- Add safety check in saveNewIdentity function to prevent duplicate saves
- Implement user-friendly warning messages for duplicate attempts
- Add comprehensive error handling to catch duplicate errors from saveNewIdentity
- Create Playwright tests to verify duplicate prevention functionality
- Add documentation for duplicate prevention implementation

The system now prevents users from importing the same account multiple times
by checking for existing DIDs both before import (pre-check) and during
save (post-check). Users receive clear warning messages instead of
technical errors when attempting to import duplicate accounts.

Files modified:
- src/views/ImportAccountView.vue: Add duplicate check and error handling
- src/views/ImportDerivedAccountView.vue: Add duplicate check for derived accounts
- src/libs/util.ts: Add duplicate prevention in saveNewIdentity
- test-playwright/duplicate-import-test.spec.ts: Add comprehensive tests
- doc/duplicate-account-import-implementation.md: Add implementation docs

Resolves: Prevent duplicate account imports in IdentitySwitcherView

+## What Works (Evidence)
+
+- ✅ **ImportAccountView duplicate check**  
+  - **Time**: 2025-01-27T14:30:00Z  
+  - **Evidence**: Added `checkForDuplicateAccount()` method with DID derivation and database query
+  - **Verify at**: `src/views/ImportAccountView.vue:180-200`
+
+- ✅ **ImportAccountView error handling**  
+  - **Time**: 2025-01-27T15:00:00Z  
+  - **Evidence**: Enhanced error handling to catch duplicate errors from saveNewIdentity and display user-friendly warnings
+  - **Verify at**: `src/views/ImportAccountView.vue:230-240`
+
+- ✅ **ImportDerivedAccountView duplicate check**  
+  - **Time**: 2025-01-27T14:30:00Z  
+  - **Evidence**: Added duplicate check in `incrementDerivation()` method
+  - **Verify at**: `src/views/ImportDerivedAccountView.vue:170-190`
+
+- ✅ **saveNewIdentity safety check**  
+  - **Time**: 2025-01-27T14:30:00Z  
+  - **Evidence**: Added database query before INSERT operation
+  - **Verify at**: `src/libs/util.ts:625-635`
+
+- ✅ **User-friendly error messages**  
+  - **Time**: 2025-01-27T14:30:00Z  
+  - **Evidence**: Clear warning messages in both import views
+  - **Verify at**: ImportAccountView and ImportDerivedAccountView notification calls

Subject: [PATCH 2/9] refactor: move duplicate account import warnings to
 notification constants

- Add NOTIFY_DUPLICATE_ACCOUNT_IMPORT constant for import warnings
- Add NOTIFY_DUPLICATE_DERIVED_ACCOUNT constant for derived account warnings
- Update ImportAccountView.vue to use notification constants
- Update ImportDerivedAccountView.vue to use notification constants
- Update test file to use notification constants for assertions

Centralizes notification messages for better maintainability and consistency
with the existing notification system.

Files modified:
- src/constants/notifications.ts: Add new notification constants
- src/views/ImportAccountView.vue: Replace hardcoded messages with constants
- src/views/ImportDerivedAccountView.vue: Replace hardcoded messages with constants
- test-playwright/duplicate-import-test.spec.ts: Update test assertions

-## What Works (Evidence)
-
-- ✅ **ImportAccountView duplicate check**  
-  - **Time**: 2025-01-27T14:30:00Z  
-  - **Evidence**: Added `checkForDuplicateAccount()` method with DID derivation and database query
-  - **Verify at**: `src/views/ImportAccountView.vue:180-200`
-
-- ✅ **ImportAccountView error handling**  
-  - **Time**: 2025-01-27T15:00:00Z  
-  - **Evidence**: Enhanced error handling to catch duplicate errors from saveNewIdentity and display user-friendly warnings
-  - **Verify at**: `src/views/ImportAccountView.vue:230-240`
-
-- ✅ **ImportDerivedAccountView duplicate check**  
-  - **Time**: 2025-01-27T14:30:00Z  
-  - **Evidence**: Added duplicate check in `incrementDerivation()` method
-  - **Verify at**: `src/views/ImportDerivedAccountView.vue:170-190`
-
-- ✅ **saveNewIdentity safety check**  
-  - **Time**: 2025-01-27T14:30:00Z  
-  - **Evidence**: Added database query before INSERT operation
-  - **Verify at**: `src/libs/util.ts:625-635`
-
-- ✅ **User-friendly error messages**  
-  - **Time**: 2025-01-27T14:30:00Z  
-  - **Evidence**: Clear warning messages in both import views
-  - **Verify at**: ImportAccountView and ImportDerivedAccountView notification calls

Subject: [PATCH 6/9] refactor: consolidate duplicate account checking logic
 into unified utility

- Extract checkForDuplicateAccount methods from ImportAccountView and ImportDerivedAccountView
- Create unified utility function in src/libs/util.ts with TypeScript overloads
- Support both direct DID checking and mnemonic+derivation path checking
- Improve error handling with centralized logging via PlatformServiceFactory
- Add comprehensive JSDoc documentation for both function overloads
- Remove unused imports (deriveAddress, newIdentifier) from ImportAccountView

The utility function now provides a clean API:
- checkForDuplicateAccount(did) - for direct DID checking
- checkForDuplicateAccount(mnemonic, derivationPath) - for derivation + checking

Both components maintain identical functionality while using centralized logic.
