feat(TokenBalanceContoller): bump to 79.0.1

[Kriys94]

Description

This PR adds messenger allowlist support for the TokenBalancesController WebSocket integration introduced in MetaMask/core#6784.

What is the reason for the change?

The updated @metamask/assets-controllers package (v79.0.0+) includes a TokenBalancesController that can optionally receive real-time balance updates via WebSocket events from @metamask/core-backend services. Without updating the messenger allowlist, the extension throws an error: Event missing from allow list: AccountActivityService:balanceUpdated.

What is the improvement/solution?

This PR makes minimal changes to support the new TokenBalancesController capabilities:

1. Added dependency: @metamask/core-backend (^1.0.1) for TypeScript type definitions
2. Updated messenger allowlist in token-balances-controller-messenger.ts:
   • Added events: AccountActivityService:balanceUpdated, AccountActivityService:statusChanged, BackendWebSocketService:connectionStateChanged
   • Added action: TokenDetectionController:addDetectedTokensViaWs

⚠️ Important - No Behavior Change:

Bumping the @metamask/assets-controllers version changes nothing about TokenBalancesController behavior. The controller will continue to work exactly as it does today using HTTP polling.

Why? The WebSocket integration requires BackendWebSocketService and AccountActivityService to be initialized and connected. Since these services are not initialized in this PR, no WebSocket connection is established, and no real-time events are triggered. The TokenBalancesController gracefully detects their absence and continues using the existing HTTP polling mechanism.

This PR only updates the messenger allowlist to prevent validation errors when the controller checks for the optional WebSocket events.

Benefits:

• ✅ Resolves messenger validation errors
• ✅ Zero behavior change - identical HTTP polling as before
• ✅ No runtime overhead - services are not initialized, no WebSocket connections
• ✅ No performance impact - polling intervals unchanged
• ✅ Future-ready for real-time balance updates when backend services are added

Warn		@metamask/[email protected] is a AI-detected potential code anomaly. Notes: The code implements a guarded, cache-accelerated path to sign a message via an external SnapController. No explicit malware indicators detected. Primary risks relate to API design and cache semantics: entropySourceId is currently unused in the cache key, which could cause mismatches between the signing policy and cached signatures; potential replay/reuse concerns if identical messages are signed for different intents without provenance. Recommended improvements: validate message format and provenance, incorporate entropySourceId into cache keys or policy checks, add audit logging, and implement cache eviction/invalidation rules to prevent stale signatures.
