Description

### Problem description

When I do a loft between 3 sketches, then I mirror it, and then I toggle multiple times "Ruled surface" and "Closed" in the loft parameters, the model geometry starts breaking.

### Workbench affected?

Part Design

### Steps to reproduce

The issue happens at 1:39:

The macro wouldn't replay properly, but I figured it might help anyway:

[reproduce_bug.FCMacro.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/27085529/reproduce_bug.FCMacro.zip)

Resulting file:

[loft_mirror_bug.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/27085526/loft_mirror_bug.zip)

### Expected behavior

I'm not sure what the "closed" toggle in loft does, but if I toggle it multiple times and leave it disabled I expect to get the same result as if I've never enabled it.

### Actual behavior

The model geometry breaks and I didn't find a way to fix it after this happens.
