Research direction
Start in repo/shop_service_client.go at the loop around lines 69-73, then inspect how mapResp is consumed and whether its stored pointers must remain distinct. Confirm the intended behavior for each response item and add or run focused checks for that behavior; done means the analyzer finding is resolved without changing the client’s expected results.
