Generally, I've always thought of:

let and const (and class) are block-scoped. {...} in your "if (x)

can't have a "conditional let binding".
The restriction avoids nonsense such as
let x = 0; { if (y) let x = 42; alert(x); }
What pray tell is going on here, in your model?
I'm with John: the alert should say 0 and I can't see why that is not
obvious.
Interesting!
You don't want the alert to show undefined, so the extent of the inner
binding in your model is the unbraced consequent of the "if".
That is not "block scope" in any plain sense.
