+- A formatted quantity, e.g. `17.1900 USDT`: the token's scale is known and the
+  figure is at or above the floor, or below it and extended to its first
+  significant digit. This is `truncateAmountNeverZero()`
+  (`src/shared/amountDisplay.js`).
+- `Unlimited`: an unbounded allowance or permit, which needs no scale to
+  describe — a `uint256`-max ERC-20 `approve` (`src/popup/views/approval.js`) or
+  a Permit2 amount at the `uint160` max on a swap's `Amount`
+  (`src/shared/uniswap.js`).
+- `All available (V4 open delta)`: a V4 exact-in swap whose `amountIn` is zero.
+  V4 reads that zero as "use the whole open delta", not as a literal zero, so
+  the calldata states no quantity at all. Swap `Amount` line only
+  (`src/shared/uniswap.js`).
+- `None (no minimum guaranteed)`: a zero minimum — the swap guarantees nothing
+  back. It is a literal zero slippage floor on a V2/V3/V4 swap, and it also
+  reaches a `BALANCE_CHECK_ERC20` step: a zero `minBalance`, which once rendered
+  `0.0000` beside the token symbol, now reads this. Swap `Min. received` line
+  (`src/shared/uniswap.js`).
+- `<amount> base units (decimals unknown)`: the token's scale could not be
+  resolved, so the base-unit integer is shown with that caveat rather than
+  formatted (see Unknown token scale above). Reaches both the ERC-20 amount line
+  and the swap's `Amount` and `Min. received` (`unknownDecimalsAmount()` in
+  `src/shared/approvalAmount.js`).
+- `Unknown (not named in the calldata)`: not an amount but the currency itself —
+  the `Token In` or `Token Out` line when nothing in the calldata established
+  which token, shown beside the amount and, like the strings above, a sentence
+  rather than a value (`src/shared/uniswap.js`).
