If "you" refers both to the person who dies and the person who lives, you will both die and live with 100% probability. However, if we create the clone with a few extra atoms of indium, the person with fewer atoms of indium will survive with 50% probability.
So your claims about probabilities are just window dressing on the bare assertion that both the person who lives and the person who dies should be referred to as "you."
Yes, 100% is my expectation for both outcomes as well. Otherwise it wouldn't be a fork.
