Research direction
Start by tracing how dataflow is lifted for stack-based languages such as EVM bytecode, then follow the control-flow recovery path described in the issue and compare it with the attached diagram. Done means lifting no longer breaks dataflow and control-flow recovery works for the affected stack-based input.
