Still a few tests to fix but we're getting closer

[Girgias]

Thank you! This is okay on my side, but I would like for @nielsdos to confirm that whatever the issue was is now resolved. :)

[Girgias]

@nielsdos@alexandre-daubois is there still something blocking here?

[alexandre-daubois]

Ah yes I missed your comment, PR updated. All good on my side

[Girgias]

Circle CI failures look legit

RM approval 👍, no technical review performed

It can still be simplified:

the write cases are more annoying but this read case works on my machine.
