Research direction

Start by locating where path-condition results are assigned variables named freshX and inspect the example shown in the issue. Choose a clearer name such as then_branch or then that consistently identifies the path condition. Done when the relevant generated variable names no longer use fresh and the example reflects the clearer naming.

Description

enhancement

Problem
When we add a path condition, the variable getting that result is called freshX.
That works internally but it doesn't resonate a lot for a developer to understand thats a path condition.
We can use better names like then_branch or then, or similar ones, to clearly identify what the variable represents.

In the example below we can change the fresh to one of those solutions
