Build a useful investigation brief
Reconstruct amount lineage
Follow the fixed cart amount from stored price and currency through discount, tax, shipping, conversion, and payment amount. Record minor units and formatted output separately. Check where precision is reduced and whether each stage carries an explicit currency code.
Test preference changes
Change locale, country, currency selection, and browser language between cart and payment. Refresh and return from the payment step. Compare which preference wins and whether a stale formatted value survives a new numeric amount or currency.
Follow durable records
Compare payment preparation, saved order, confirmation, and receipt-facing amounts. Record rate and rounding timestamps where available. If records cannot expose the charged currency, document that evidence gap rather than inferring it from a symbol or page copy.
What to carry forward
The investigation is ready when another engineer can replay the cart and preference sequence and locate the first numeric, currency-code, or formatting divergence. Deliver amount lineage, rate context, persistence comparisons, and unresolved source ownership with redacted fixtures.
Keep the decision with the work.
Use a Work Item in Aglet to record the problem, the evidence you have, and the next decision. Add an owner and priority, then keep updates in the discussion so the next person can follow the reasoning.
