fix(prune): preserve case target when pruning case -> assert

[tvolk131]

This fixes a pruning bug in RedeemNode::prune_with_tracker() that can corrupt nested sum-shaped witnesses when a case is pruned into assertl/assertr.

The issue was that after pruning a case into an assert, the temporary Construct DAG was retyped from the pruned structure alone. That drops the original case target constraint, which can let free target vars on the surviving branch collapse to 1. When final witness pruning runs, a live nested sum payload can then be incorrectly shrunk to unit.

The fix preserves the original case target when a pruned case is rebuilt as assertl/assertr, so witness shrinking continues to use the correct surviving type.

Tests

Adds a focused regression test that builds the failing shape directly with ConstructNode:

• unpruned execution succeeds
• pruning rewrites the case to assertl
• the pruned witness keeps the nested sum payload instead of collapsing to unit
• pruned execution matches unpruned execution

The regression reproduces the old witness-shrinking failure if this fix is reverted.

Pull request overview

Fixes a pruning/type-inference edge case in RedeemNode::prune_with_tracker() where pruning a case into assertl/assertr could drop the original case target constraint, leading to incorrect witness shrinking for nested sum-shaped values.

Changes:

• Preserve the original case target type constraint when a pruned case is rebuilt as assertl/assertr during the temporary ConstructData rebuild.
• Add a focused regression test that constructs the failing shape directly with ConstructNode and verifies pruning rewrites + witness preservation + execution equivalence.
