Research direction

Start by reproducing the discrepancy in MetaMask extension version 13.37.0 with Aave v3 WAVAX on Avalanche, comparing its fiat balance with the linked SnowScan token page. Trace the balance and fiat-value display path from that reproduction; done means the displayed value matches the correct balance consistently.
