+// Sub-tests are deliberately split so each is deterministic regardless of
+// Go's randomized map iteration order. A combined fixture is flaky:
+// `getAssets` keys its result map by precision alone, so when both
+// `USD/2 = 2` and `USD_RED/2 = 500` are present the buggy implementation
+// writes both to `result[2]`, and the final value depends on iteration
+// order — sometimes the correct one wins, sometimes the spurious one.
