What does a passing mocked price test prove about the provider?

Instruction: Design complementary checks and show the concrete provider contract assertions.

Context:

A UI test stubs GET /quotes/SKU1 with {"amount_cents": 999, "currency": "USD"} and correctly shows $9.99. The agreed contract requires a nonnegative safe-integer amount_cents, currency USD and HTTP 200; extra fields are allowed.
