What does this change?

Fixes a bug where the currency symbol was missing from the lowest price when a live price was used, and correctly parses $ prices and prices with commas (e.g. £1,299) when comparing them with the live price.

Why?

Live prices store the currency symbol separately from the number, so the lowest price showed a bare 129 instead of £129 whenever a live price was used. Separately, the old price parsing never removed $ and stopped at commas. As a result, $ products never showed their live price on product cards, and prices like £1,299 were read as £1, so real price drops didn't get the strikethrough.

How has this change been tested?

Unit tests: the lowest-price tests now expect the currency symbol (e.g. £19.99 rather than 19.99), and a new test checks that a $ live price keeps its symbol ($9.99). New getProductCtaLivePrice tests cover a $ price using the live price and a price with a comma (£1,299).

🟡 Changes recommended

The thousands-separator test needs to detect the reported strikethrough regression rather than pass with the original parser.
