What is Conditional?
In code, a branch that runs different paths based on a true or false test, often written with if and else.
test false → else branch
In real work
Confirm the conditional covers the empty list case the agent forgot.
In the illustration
A cart arrives with an empty list; the test switch reads FALSE, the points throw, and the cart rolls down the else track while the if track stays empty.
Simplify the nested conditional in your coding agent into early returns, keep the behaviour identical, and show me the diff.
