Private mode subnets now set it to `false`, while an Azure Files private endpoint supports deployment-script storage and the NAT Gateway provides required container egress ([#2258](https://github.com/microsoft/finops-toolkit/issues/2258), [#2259](https://github.com/microsoft/finops-toolkit/pull/2259)). - Fixed the `ContractedCost` recompute guard to compare with a null-safe tolerance instead of exact float equality, eliminating millions of no-op rewrites that polluted the `x_SourceValues` audit trail while preserving the null-cost backfill and no longer overwriting an existing cost when the unit price is missing ([#2216](https://github.com/microsoft/finops-toolkit/issues/2216)).
