The previous implementation of Boolean::conditional_enforce_equal returned Unsatisfiable whenever both operands were constant and unequal and the condition was not Constant(false). This violated EqGadget’s contract, which requires the constraint to be vacuously true when the condition is false, and it also diverged from other implementations in the codebase (e.g., FpVar) that encode conditional equality as (a - b) * condition == 0. This patch changes the logic to treat condition == Constant(false) as a no-op, to only error when condition == Constant(true) and the constants are unequal, and otherwise to enforce (a - b) * condition == 0 even in constant-constant cases by emitting the appropriate ±1 linear combination. This aligns the Boolean implementation with EqGadget semantics and the established pattern across field and vector implementations.
