Description

Describe the bug

Performing Send Transactions with a Smart Account in Monad Testnet always fails with the error reserve balance violation.
The gas is displayed as Unavailable.
However, if I downgrade the account to EOA then the Send succeeds normally

Expected behavior

Transactions with Smart Accounts should also succeed

Research direction

Reproduce the failure in the live 13.27.0 Chrome build on Monad Testnet by following the listed Smart Account upgrade and Send steps. Start at the Send transaction flow and compare Smart Account behavior with the successful EOA case; done means the transaction succeeds and gas is no longer shown as Unavailable.
