+/// # Fields
+///
+/// * `source` - A snapshot source implementing the [`SnapshotSource`] trait.
+///   This is used to load ledger entries on demand during test execution.

+///   If `None`, default test ledger info is used.

+/// * `snapshot` - Optional [`LedgerSnapshot`] used as the base for capturing
