Research direction

Start by reviewing the migrated issue details and the linked issue17247.diff patch, then inspect the linked PRs gh-145748, gh-145765, and gh-145771. Determine whether the existing work fully addresses inconsistent format-string handling for int and float; completion is a merged, tested resolution rather than a new standalone contribution.
