+// Phase 212: Pattern 3 (IfPHI) test - if-sum implementation
 // Tests: Loop with conditional update inside if block
 // Target: selfhost if-sum pattern (e.g., FuncScannerBox._sum_def_count)
 //
 // Expected behavior:
-//   Array [null-equivalent, "a", "b"] → sum counts non-empty strings
-//   Empty string "" treated as null-equivalent → skip
-//   "a", "b" are valid → sum = 2
+//   Simulated array [null-equivalent, "a", "b"] → sum counts non-empty strings
+//   i=0 → skip, i=1,2 → count
 //
-// Expected result: 2 (count of valid items)
+// Expected result: RC=2 (count of valid items)
