+// Phase 222: If Condition Left Literal Pattern Test
+// Tests: Condition normalization (literal on left → var on left)
+// Target: ConditionPatternBox normalization + if-sum pattern
+//
+// Pattern:
+//   Loop condition: 0 < i (literal < var) → normalized to i > 0
+//   If condition: i > 0 (var > literal) - already canonical
+//
+// Expected behavior:
+//   i=0 → skip (0 > 0 = false)
+//   i=1 → count (1 > 0 = true)
+//   i=2 → count (2 > 0 = true)
+//
+// Expected result: RC=2 (count of valid iterations)
