This PR adds a regression test for Control Flow Analysis (CFA) behavior in while loops with continue statements, addressing issue #987.
The test captures a specific scenario where our TypeScript Go implementation's control flow analysis needed to correctly track variable nullability through while loops containing continue statements:
The test verifies that:
while (current !== null)
condition,current
is correctly narrowed fromA | null
toA
current
within the loop body recognize it as non-nullThe generated baselines confirm that our CFA implementation correctly handles this complex control flow pattern, ensuring consistency with the stable TypeScript compiler behavior.
Fixes #1324.
