Thanks for spotting this. The parts of code were written at different times. I'll fix this to standardize on :key => value form, as I want symbols to be clearly distinguishable both on call sites and in the method table.

Not that it necessarily applies here but any time I see hash rockets in a PR it just screams “an llm wrote this”

I write some ruby code for my job to automate some API testing stuff, where I use hash rockets exclusively.

You should know that using the hash rocket syntax has not been idiomatic Ruby since the new hash syntax was introduced in 2012. Unless your keys are not symbols, there’s no reason to use hash rockets.
