+        // There is a fundamental architectural issue where Vector nodes containing constraint
+        // operations (Enf, Boundary) need to be "unrolled" - i.e., each constraint should
+        // exist separately at the parent level rather than wrapped in a Vector.
+        //
+        // However, the visitor pattern only allows returning one replacement node, not multiple.
+        // This causes a conflict:
+        // 1. Preserving Vector nodes (Ok(None)) causes "Vector should be Unrolled" errors in RandomInputs::eval
+        // 2. Flattening to first child causes lost constraints and incorrect code generation
+        //
+        // The proper solution requires architectural changes to handle multi-constraint expansion
+        // at the parent context level, which is beyond the scope of this fix.
+        //
+        // For now, preserve vectors to maintain correctness of non-constraint operations
+        // (Fold, Matrix, etc.) even though it leaves the miden_vm test with unrolled vector issues.
