+// Failing regression test demonstrating silent truncation in the MCP
+// `evaluate` tool's balance parser. JSON numeric values arrive in `any`
+// as `float64`, and the current implementation passes them straight
+// through `big.NewFloat(amount).Int(new(big.Int))` — which truncates
+// fractional parts and silently rounds values outside the exact-integer
+// range of float64 (±(2^53 - 1)).
+//
+// For a financial DSL, silent corruption of balance amounts is not
+// acceptable. The MCP handler should reject any value that cannot be
+// represented as an exact integer in float64 precision.
+//
+// CI is intentionally red on this branch. A stacked fix PR validates
+// the amount before conversion and turns the test green.
