nested if statement does not mutate variable as expected in KCL

Bug Report

When using a nested if block to assign a value to a variable in KCL, the assignment does not appear to take effect.

Also, print statements inside the if block are triggered multiple times

1. Minimal reproduce step (Required)

_engine_version = None
_engine_name = None

if _engine_version == None:
    print("entered engine version == None")
    if _engine_name == "redis":
        print("entered nested if _engine_name == redis")
        _engine_version = "7.1"
    else:
        print("entered nested else")
        _engine_version = "test"

items = {
    "engineVersion": _engine_version
}

2. What did you expect to see? (Required)

entered engine version == None
entered nested else
items:
  engineVersion: test

3. What did you see instead (Required)

entered engine version == None
entered engine version == None
entered engine version == None
entered nested else
items:
  engineVersion: null

4. What is your KCL components version? (Required)

kcl version 0.11.3

I have also encountered the same issue. I've tried encapsulating the nested if in a separate lambda (same and different module) but it produced the same result.

Also the print statements seem to be executed a random number of times. In my example below it gets printed 5 times. Playground

_cond = True

_obj = {r = "original"}

if not _cond:
    _obj = {r = "if"}
else:
    print("in else")
    
    _nested = {r = "nested original"}
    if _cond:
        _obj = {r = "else if"}
        _nested = {r = "nested else if"}
    else:
        _obj = {r = "else else"}
        _nested = {r = "nested else else"}
    nested = _nested    

obj = _obj

result:

in else
in else
in else
in else
in else
nested:
  r: nested original
obj:
  r: else if
