 ### Removed
 
 ### Fixed
+- Fixed `has_measurements()` / `remove_measurements()` and `has_barriers()` / `remove_barriers()` missing occurrences inside `for` / `while` / `switch` bodies on a module that has not been unrolled — e.g. a measurement inside a `for` loop was invisible and `remove_measurements()` was a no-op. The statement walker now descends into loop and switch bodies. ([#354](https://github.com/qBraid/pyqasm/issues/354))
 - Fixed `remove_idle_qubits()` and `reverse_qubit_order()` ignoring statements nested inside `box` and `if` blocks. Top-level operands were rewritten while nested ones kept their old indices, so the result silently addressed the wrong qubits — and when a nested index fell outside the shrunken register, the output was not a loadable program at all. Both passes now walk nested bodies, as do `has_measurements()` / `remove_measurements()` and `has_barriers()` / `remove_barriers()`; a box left empty by a removal is dropped, since pyqasm rejects a box with no statements. Two consequences of the same blind spot are fixed alongside: a qubit operated on only inside an `if` block no longer counts as idle, and `remove_idle_qubits()` no longer raises `AssertionError` on a program that mixes physical qubits with declared registers. ([#345](https://github.com/qBraid/pyqasm/pull/345))
 - Fixed `unroll(consolidate_qubits=True)` raising `AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'name'` for any gate applied to a physical qubit, e.g. `h $1;`. Consolidation assumed every gate operand was an `IndexedIdentifier`, but a physical qubit survives unrolling as `Identifier("$1")`. Physical qubits are absolute hardware indices belonging to no declared register, so they are now left as written — matching how `measure`, `reset` and `barrier` already treat them. ([#344](https://github.com/qBraid/pyqasm/pull/344))
 - Fixed `unroll()` and `rebase()` emitting statements that share operand AST nodes: gate decompositions passed the same `IndexedIdentifier` objects into every statement they emitted, so transformations that rewrite qubit indices in place mutated a shared node once per referencing statement. This crashed `reverse_qubit_order()` (`KeyError: -1`) and `remove_idle_qubits()` (`KeyError`, [#331](https://github.com/qBraid/pyqasm/issues/331)) on any decomposed gate (e.g. `crz`) whenever the remap was not the identity. Statement constructors in `maps/gates.py` and `Decomposer` now copy their qubit operands so every emitted statement owns its nodes. ([#333](https://github.com/qBraid/pyqasm/issues/333))
