I'm currently unable to reproduce this, going to try updating Auth, Web-E, PDFs, etc...

[roryabraham]

Yeah, I'm unable to reproduce this on main.

[roryabraham]

Going to try reproducing locally by checking out the staging branch – maybe this has already been fixed and we just need to CP the appropriate PR?

[roryabraham]

Yeah, not able to reproduce locally at all.

[roryabraham]

not able to reproduce on staging either

[roryabraham]

Given that this isn't preventing the user from completing the flow, and that it's only inconsistently reproducible, I don't think we need to block deploy on this.

cc @cead22 this has to do with violations but is inconsistently reproducible. I'm trying to get more details. Slack context here

[cead22]

This is working as designed, and it's not a bug. When you add amount or date to a money request, SmartScan is assumed to be skipped, so the violation message is correct.

Maybe we'll change how this looks visually, but this will all improve as we continue implementing violations, so closing for now
