So it looks like branch hint number 1 changed results, but looking at the original instrumentation and the final instrumentation, it's maybe a completely different branch??? Not really sure what the correct next step is.

Research direction
Start with repro.sh and the attached repro.zip, then run the shown bin/wasm-opt sequence to confirm the branch-hint change. Compare the original and final instrumentation around --code-pushing and inspect the relevant wasm-opt pass entry points. Done means the branch identity or expected behavior is explained and covered by a regression test.
