	 * WC caches a variable product's min/max in a `wc_var_prices_*` transient that goes
	 * STALE when a child variation's price changes (gap-analysis §4.3), so the POS would
	 * otherwise show a wrong range. For each `type: 'variable'` product, recompute the
	 * price / regular_price / sale_price ranges by reading each visible child variation
	 * DIRECTLY — NOT via `get_variation_prices()`, which can hand back that same stale
	 * transient (codex review) — and inject `_woocommerce_pos_variable_prices` into the
	 * served meta_data. Non-variable products and non-array entries pass through untouched.
	 *
	 * The `type` gate comes FIRST so a page of simple products never triggers an object
	 * load; the batch lane hands over a null `$object` and relies on that gate plus the
	 * lazy load by id below.
	 *
