+ * `NSDecimalNumber` has a ~38-significant-digit precision ceiling: a longer digit string gets
+ * silently rounded, with the excess trailing digits replaced by zeros — invisible on a single
+ * pass, but since every field re-groups on each edit (see `NumericField` in ContentView.swift),
+ * a Sats amount typed past that length would re-corrupt through this on every keystroke, visibly
+ * changing without the user typing anything new. Real Sats amounts never approach 38 digits (the
+ * max BTC supply is only 16 digits in Sats), but the app doesn't cap manual input at that
+ * maximum, so grouping via `NSNumberFormatter.stringFromNumber(_:)` isn't safe for arbitrary
+ * input. Groups the digit string directly instead, using only the locale's grouping metadata
+ * (separator + primary/secondary group sizes) — pure string manipulation, no numeric precision
+ * limit, and verified to match `NSNumberFormatter`'s own output exactly, including irregular
+ * groupings like hi-IN's "12,34,567".
