Research direction
Examine the linked PR review (#6784) to understand the specific duplication identified. Look at the existing regular and data backed constitution test files (likely in the test suite) to identify shared logic. Propose a refactoring that extracts common code into helper functions or shared test utilities, while ensuring no loss of coverage or clarity. Check for any existing patterns used elsewhere in the repository.
