Summary ASSERT copies only 3 values for failed expression, also flaky
Description If an assertion fails, the resulting error message attempts to capture the failing expression that it detected. For some reason it only takes up to 3 elements of that expression.

>> assert [true 1 + 3 = 2 true]
** Script error: assertion failed for: [1 + 3] ; <-- HERE
** Where: assert
** Near: assert [true 1 + 3 = 2 true]

Additionally: because it only copies the expression out after running the assert, it can fail to capture an expression correctly if it modifies the block:

>> conditions: [true true (clear conditions false) true]
== [true true (clear conditions false) true]

>> assert conditions
** Script error: assertion failed for: []
** Where: assert
** Near: assert conditions
