Why this is a good first issue

Reactivity issue with boolean operations in props requires understanding Svelte's internals.

AI Summary

The issue reports a reactivity problem when passing boolean operations as props, with behavior differing between Svelte versions. The contributor needs to verify if this is a regression or expected behavior, but the exact scope is unclear due to conflicting playground examples. The main blocker is determining whether this is a bug or intentional behavior.

Issue Description

Describe the bug

Upgrading from svelte 5.20.0 to 5.46.3 I find some of my code lost reactivity due to prop update.

As described in doc https://svelte.dev/docs/svelte/$props#Updating-props

doing that is possible and the provided demo works well.

But in my code I pass a boolean operation to the child component instead of a boolean as in the example and it proven that it make a difference.
