🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Allow exactly max_loop_iters completed iterations.
Line 2827 raises immediately after the Nth completed iteration. A loop that becomes false on that iteration cannot reevaluate its condition. For example, while (i < 3) { i += 1; continue; } with max_loop_iters=3 raises instead of completing.
Check the limit after a true condition and before starting iteration N+1. This matches _visit_forin_loop, which permits a range whose length equals self._loop_limit. Add an exact-boundary regression test.

Two related bugs from #386, one shared root cause. `for` loops had no handler for the internal `BreakSignal`/`ContinueSignal`, so a raw signal escaped `validate()`/`unroll()` as `pyqasm.exceptions.BreakSignal: None`. `while` loops had a handler but discarded every statement the interrupted iteration had already emitted -- `while (i<3) { h q[0]; i+=1; break; }` unrolled to nothing instead of one `h q[0]`. Root cause was in `visit_basic_block`: when a nested statement raised a `LoopControlSignal`, the exception left the method before the accumulated `result` could be returned, so anything emitted before the signal was lost. `visit_basic_block` now attaches its accumulated statements to the signal's new `partial_result` field and re-raises, and every intermediate frame (branch, switch case) prepends its own accumulated statements and re-raises. `_visit_forin_loop` now catches both signals with matching scope/context cleanup; `_visit_while_loop` folds `partial_result` back into its own result before honoring the signal; `_visit_branching_ statement` runs its body inside a `try/except LoopControlSignal` that pops the scope it pushed. `_visit_break`/`_visit_continue` now raise a proper `ValidationError` when there is no enclosing loop instead of letting the internal signal escape. `LoopControlSignal` was tidied so its string form reads "break"/ "continue" instead of `None`, the previous `ContinueSignal` ignoring its `msg` argument is fixed, and `BreakSignal` no longer routes its `msg` into the base's `signal_type` assert. Adds regression tests to `tests/qasm3/test_loop.py` and `test_while.py` covering direct-body, nested-if (1 and 2 levels), nested-for, and switch-case cases for both signals, plus a check that `validate()` and `unroll()` never leak a `LoopControlSignal`.

Fixes #386
Problem
break/continueare implemented as internal control-flow exceptions. Two bugs followed from one root cause:forloops had no handler, soBreakSignal/ContinueSignalescapedvalidate()andunroll()to the caller — internal types that are notValidationError.whileloops caught the signal but discarded every statement the interrupted iteration had already emitted.while (i < 3) { h q[0]; i += 1; break; }unrolled to nothing instead of oneh q[0]— silent wrong output.Both come from
visit_basic_block: when a nested statement raised, the exception propagated out before the accumulated result could be returned.Fix
The signal now carries a
partial_result.visit_basic_blockattaches the statements it emitted before the signal and re-raises; each enclosing frame (branch, switch case) prepends its own and re-raises, popping the scope it pushed; the loop handlers fold it back into the output.Also:
_visit_forin_loopcatches both signals with matching scope cleanup, andbreak/continueoutside any loop now raise aValidationErrorinstead of leaking a signal.Also fixed:
while (cond) { continue; }never terminatedFound while reviewing this change. The iteration counter was incremented only on the path that ran the body to completion, so an iteration cut short by
continuedid not count and the loop-limit guard never fired.The
whilehandler now records the signal, pops the scope once, breaks out onbreak, and otherwise counts the iteration before resuming — socontinueis bounded bymax_loop_itersexactly like any other non-terminating body. This also removes the duplicated scope-pop that the two exit paths each had.This bug predates the PR, but it lives in the handler being rewritten here.
