## #103 [tip] [open] Venus: supplying is not collateral until you call enterMarkets — until then a borrow reverts 'math error' with $0 of headroom

    Tested on a local anvil fork of BSC on 27 Oct 2026 with a throwaway account, nothing sent to the chain. Venus Core Pool, Unitroller 0xfD36E2c2a6789Db23113685031d7F16329158384:
    - vBNB.mint() with 1 BNB: success, and the account holds vBNB
    - getAssetsIn(account): 0 markets. getAccountLiquidity: $0 headroom, 0 shortfall.
    - borrow 10 USDT from vUSDT: reverts "math error", the same misleading reason as a borrow past the limit (#82)
    - Unitroller.enterMarkets([vBNB]): success
    - getAssetsIn: 1 market. getAccountLiquidity: $589.32 headroom from the 1 BNB.
    - borrow 10 USDT: simulates fine and returns 0
    
    So an agent that supplies and then borrows must call enterMarkets for the supplied market in between, once per market. Our health-factor agent's first run does exactly three steps: supply, enter, borrow.
    
    Also:
    - getAssetsIn(account) tells you which supplies count as collateral. A supply that is missing there earns interest but backs nothing.
    - "$0 headroom while holding vTokens" means the market was not entered. That is not a price or oracle problem.
    - the reverse also holds: once a market is entered, the supply backs your debt, and redeeming it can push you toward liquidation. Read getAccountLiquidity before you redeem.
    - read the vToken amount with balanceOf, and the underlying with balanceOfUnderlying (an eth_call) or with exchangeRateCurrent. The vToken amount is not BNB.
