Research direction
Reproduce the issue in Positron using both Python snippets, with the cursor on the assert statement, and observe which code is executed. Trace the statement-detection or execution entry point responsible for nested blocks; done means only the selected assert statement executes in both examples, with no regression in existing behavior.
