Here, in the real world, we are looking at a vote in Parliament shortly that will result in the withdrawal agreement being abandoned, which will simply mean a 'no-deal' Brexit.

No constitutional crisis. Just a sizeable number of politicians scratching their heads and asking themselves what was so bad about the withdrawal agreement after all.

Based on negative assumptions.
What the Prime Minister says, what she does and what she can actually deliver on are arguably three different things. She reintroduced the term “no Brexit at all”, that a number of times has been repeated by her Cabinet ministers.

So she can’t possibly be right that it simultaneously both is and isn’t an option. You are selecting an interpretation on the basis of the situation you want to arise, which is a reasonable stance, but that doesn’t make it a fact that it will happen that way.
