Auto-compounded staking rewards use the wrong cost basis lot

What is the issue?
When a transaction contains both a Staking reward and a Stake operation, the staked lot is chosen by the account's cost basis method rather than the reward lot just received. The cost basis on the Stake row often won't match the paired Staking reward row. Reported income isn't affected, as that comes only from the Staking reward rows.
Who is affected?
Customers with auto-compounding staking positions, whether auto-imported or entered manually.
What is the workaround?
No action is needed for income reporting. Customers who need the staked lot to match can edit cost basis on the affected Stake rows. Manual edits won't be overwritten by future fixes, but can cause duplicates or other side effects and may need review once a fix ships.
