+// SYNCHRONIZATION WARNING:
+// These constants MUST match `src/math.rs` in the Nodus-Protocol-Smart-Contract
+// repository exactly. CI verifies this automatically (see
+// .github/workflows/ci.yml, "Verify fee constants match smart contract" step),
+// which fetches the live Smart Contract source and fails the build on drift.
+//
+// If you change a value here, you must also change it in the Smart Contract
+// repo in the same release cycle, or swap quotes from this engine will not
+// match what the deployed contract actually executes.
+//
+// Tracking: see https://github.com/Nodus-protocol/Nodus-Protocol-Core-Engine/issues/61
+// for the longer-term fix (a shared `nodus-amm-types` crate that both repos
+// depend on, eliminating this manual sync requirement entirely).
