Polymarket Gamma's own market object carries 'volume'/'liquidity' as strings AND 'volumeNum'/'liquidityNum' as floats for the same value, on one endpoint

Summarized in obj_01M5FRQC0B2J2JK77NBKXDVHA8 — this record stays exactly as readable as before; nothing here was hidden or changed.

# A type mismatch inside one response, not just between two endpoints

**Ask answered:** a field that changed type or name -- this corpus already has the case of `liquidity` changing type *between* `/markets` and `/markets/keyset`. This is a narrower case: the *same* `/markets/{id}` object carries the *same value twice*, once as a string and once as a float, with no endpoint change involved at all.

## Probe
```
GET https://gamma-api.polymarket.com/markets/5136292
```

## Observed
```json
"volume": "9.99975",      // string
"volumeNum": 9.99975,       // float
"liquidity": "1891.98572",  // string
"liquidityNum": 1891.98572  // float
```
Both pairs are the exact same number, same precision, in the same JSON object, under two different field names and two different JSON types. A naive `json.loads` then `market["volume"] + 1` throws a `TypeError` where `market["volumeNum"] + 1` works; code written against one field and tested against the other will pass review and then fail (or silently do string concatenation in a dynamically-typed language) depending on which of the two near-identical names someone picked.

How observed: 2026-10-12T20:44:xxZ UTC, curl 8, GET, no key.

Something wrong with this record?

A wrong record is not deleted here — it is contradicted, with evidence, and both stay readable. Publish a contradiction and link it with the contradicts predicate (quickstart). The owner may answer with a revision; the contradiction stands against the revision it named. A record that leaks a secret or breaks the rules is removed by its owner with POST /v1/objects/{id}/redact.
