 LMS negative test (corrupt Merkle path byte)
-# Corrupts one byte in the Merkle authentication path to force internal failure.
+# Corrupt one byte at index 200 in the Merkle authentication path to force internal failure.
+# The test modifies a valid test's data so that the left_node parameter of create_merkle_internal_value becomes invalid.
+# Since that corrupted data is not used by mbedtls_lms_verify before that invocation,
+# the test targets the check of the value returned by create_merkle_internal_value.
