Description
When we run in single precision, we still need to read in the helm table, which is stored as double precision. So we need to have a temporary buffer that is double precision to read to, and then cast into single precision.

Research direction
Start by locating the helm_table read path and the single-precision configuration in the repository. Trace how the table is currently read and identify the relevant precision-dependent tests or execution path. Done means single-precision runs can read the double-precision helm table and use the converted values correctly.
