What is the issue affecting?

Type Checking

Expected Behaviour

Any casts inside a block should not be maintained once leaving that block.

Actual Behaviour

Type cast is maintained even after the block in which the variable was cast if and only if the variable was not used in that block.

Reproduction steps

This is incorrect:

---@type number|string
local i
if true then --can be `false` or any other logical
  ---@cast i number
  local _ = 0 --not referencing variable `i` that was cast above
end
local j = i --type of j is `number`, should be `number|string`

This is correct:

---@type number|string
local i
if true then --can be `false` or any other logical
  ---@cast i number
  local _ = i -- referencing variable `i` that was cast above
end
local j = i --type of j is `number|string`
