Solutions

1. Clamp to zero: chips.amount = max(0, value)
2. Check the betting/settlement logic producing the negative number
3. Validate input before assignment

Example fix

# before
chips.amount = chips.amount - bet
# after
chips.amount = max(0, chips.amount - bet)

value = int(value)
if value < 0:
    value = 0
chips.amount = value

def is_non_negative_int(v) -> TypeGuard[int]:
    return isinstance(v, int) and not isinstance(v, bool) and v >= 0

try:
    chips.amount = value
except ValueError as e:
    if 'bigger than 0' in str(e):
        chips.amount = 0
    else:
        raise

When it happens

Trigger: chips.amount = -50 after a loss calculation, or initializing a Chips object with a negative starting amount.

Common situations: Arithmetic that can go negative (amount - bet without clamping), parsed negative values from input, or wrong sign in a settlement formula.
