+/// Regression test for proxy contract delegatecall with large deposit limits.
+///
+/// When deposit_left is very large (u128::MAX in production), remaining_gas becomes huge,
+/// causing ratio = gas_limit / remaining_gas ≈ 0. This resulted in nested calls receiving
+/// almost no weight. The fix caps remaining_gas to u64::MAX since Ethereum gas is u64.
+///
+/// Note: This test uses Balance = u64, so the bug doesn't fully manifest here.
+/// The fix is a no-op in u64 configs but critical for u128 production configs.
