Held for maintainer review. This is not a rejection — auto-merge only lands changes it can verify mechanically, and this one needs a human to look at:
Nothing further is needed from you unless a point above is something you can fix (an unticked checklist item, or a failing check). @samjay8, thanks for the PR. |

Do not compare amounts in different assets as a multiplier.
55.56 BRL is the converted equivalent of 10 USDC at the quoted price. The phrase “five times” is misleading because the values have different denominations.
Proposed wording
-The fee the user sees is 55.56 BRL — five times the raw `fee.total` —
-because the anchor denominated its fee in the sell asset while the user
-counts in the buy asset.
+The fee the user sees is 55.56 BRL, the buy-asset equivalent of the raw
+`fee.total` of 10 USDC at the quoted price. The anchor denominated its fee
+in the sell asset while the user counts in the buy asset.As per path instructions, docs/** files are contracts, so quoted figures must be technically accurate.

Describe golden-file protection accurately.
The supplied sep38/golden_test.go code can rewrite golden files through -update. Golden files make expected-value changes visible in version control; they do not prevent somebody from changing the expected values.

Replace “branch” with “denomination case.”
The implementation has no fee.asset branch. Lines 79-80 explicitly state this. The current wording contradicts the implementation and may cause readers to search for a branch that does not exist.
Proposed wording
-would exercise one branch twice and leave the buy-asset branch unpinned.
+would exercise the sell-asset denomination twice and leave the buy-asset
+denomination unpinned.As per path instructions, docs/** files are contracts, so implementation terminology must be accurate.
