+// This test builds a local simapp test scenario, triggers a forward to create in-flight metadata,
+// then simulates a relayer-delivered malformed ACK by directly calling the middleware OnAcknowledgementPacket
+// with bad acknowledgement bytes. The behavior matches production code-path: GetAndClearInFlightPacket deletes
+// the refund key prior to unmarshal and MustUnmarshal causes a panic on corrupted bytes.
