+/**
+ * CurrencyConverter component tests.
+ *
+ * The widget polls the XLM rate endpoint on a fixed interval, so the focus
+ * here is on *when* the refetch fires: on mount, once per interval, on a
+ * currency switch, and never after unmount. Timers are faked and the rate
+ * service is mocked so the suite is deterministic and never touches network.
