Research direction

No source files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the deposit at the provided Base Sepolia Basescan URL with MetaMask 12.13.0, then compare it with 12.6.2 and the reported Brave versions. Done means identifying why a funded account is rejected for gas and confirming that the transaction can proceed on Base Sepolia.
