Fix incorrect code generation for compound OR/AND expressions in assert statements. Previously, the right side of || and && was pre-evaluated even when short-circuit evaluation should have skipped it, causing runtime errors like null pointer access.

Changes:

  • assert.v: skip pre-evaluation of right side for || and && operators
  • assert.v: show '' placeholder for rvalue in asserts
  • infix.v: respect inside_ternary flag in infix_expr_and_or_op

Fixes #26777

- test_assert_and_short_circuit: now tests both short-circuit and
  non-short-circuit paths for && operator
- test_assert_or_both_sides_need_eval: remove parent assignment so left
  side is false, forcing right side to be evaluated

Shouldn't this be .logical_and instead of .and?

Suggested change
if node.expr.op !in [.logical_or, .and] {
if node.expr.op !in [.logical_or, .logical_and] {

// temporary variables outside the conditional scope.
// - For &&: if left is false, right is short-circuited
// - For ||: if left is true, right is short-circuited
if node.expr.op in [.logical_or, .and] {
