+        reads from _active_path_indices[0] (path 0). This means path 1 silently
+        gets path 0's variable value instead of its own.
+
+        Setup:
+          - MCM on q[0] creates two paths: path 0 (c=0), path 1 (c=1)
+          - x is assigned differently per path: path 0 → x=0, path 1 → x=1
+          - `if (true)` puts both paths in true_paths simultaneously
+          - Inside the body: y = x
+            - Correct: path 0 gets y=0, path 1 gets y=1
+            - Buggy:   path 0 gets y=0, path 1 gets y=0 (reads path 0's x)
+          - `if (y == 0) { x q[1]; }` applies X to q[1] only when y==0
+            - Correct: path 0 applies X (q[1]=1), path 1 does NOT (q[1]=0)
+            - Buggy:   both paths apply X (q[1]=1 for both)
+
+        Expected final measurement of q[1]:
+          - 50% shots see q[1]=1 (path 0: c=0, y=0, X applied)
+          - 50% shots see q[1]=0 (path 1: c=1, y=1, X not applied)
+          → both "0" and "1" outcomes for q[1] must appear
