Just as a heads up, I was blocked by some firewall rules while working on your feedback. Expand below for details.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• f.feedz.io
  • Triggering command: /opt/hostedtoolcache/CodeQL/2.24.3/x64/codeql/csharp/tools/linux64/Semmle.Autobuild.CSharp /opt/hostedtoolcache/CodeQL/2.24.3/x64/codeql/csharp/tools/linux64/Semmle.Autobuild.CSharp ; (dns block)

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

@copilot got a build error can you investigate and resolve ?

I checked the failing PR workflow and fixed the compile error. The break was from BuildMerchantBalanceLookup(...) referencing MerchantBalanceProjectionState without the projection-engine type being in scope in ReportingManager; that’s addressed in d902e56.
