Having seen your StackOverflow post
<https://stackoverflow.com/q/79695811/860630> with added detail, I thought
I'd answer here too, as it might help anyone else who runs into this.
In Super Dev Mode, the Java `assert` keyword compiles roughly to
if (!<condition>) {
debugger;
throw AssertionError(<message>);
}
This way, if you have a debugger running, you can catch it as it fails this
check and see what happened to cause that failure. If not, you'll just get
the AssertionError thrown and have to handle it.
Assertions are disabled by default in production, but can be enabled if
desired.
They are always enabled in SDM at this time.
