Looks good - happy to merge now if needed quickly but I'd love a couple of tests to help understand the purpose of this code.

Thanks!

Is there a test for this? I'd love to see one if not. Happy for you to merge and add it after if needed though.

I will do that! thank you 🙏

Can I have a comment explaining why this is OK to disable?

Same comment about a test as above.

The function starts with use but isn't actually a hook. The underlying class is tested within Compound but not here. I might land this to fix the dev build and get back to it

Great, can we have that comment in the code please?
