    pattern_detected: "userId format mismatch between token and test expectation"

  question: |
    After 3 attempts, the test still fails due to userId format.

    The token contains: { userId: "123" } (string)
    The test expects: { userId: 123 } (number)

    Which format should be used?
    1. String (update test)
    2. Number (update implementation)
