Subject: [PATCH] refactor: replace assert statements with explicit error
 handling outside tests
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

This PR refactors the use of bare `assert` statements in the code to ensure runtime validations remain active in all execution modes. Instead of relying on Python’s `assert`, each condition is now checked explicitly and an `AssertionError` is raised when the check fails.

- Assert statement used outside of tests: Using `assert` outside of test code can lead to skipped checks when Python is run with optimizations (the `-O` flag). We replaced `assert a > 0` and `assert b > 0` with `if not a > 0: raise AssertionError` and `if not b > 0: raise AssertionError`, ensuring these validations are always enforced, even in optimized runs.
