delete_event tombstoned the event in objects AFTER materialize_graph_delete —
but that graph pass cascades a cue among the event's referents, running
reanchor_for_tombstone over the cue's referents while the source event is still
Live. A slur bridging {X, cue-of-X} therefore re-anchored onto X
(Reanchored{to: X}) and then cascade-deleted when X's tombstone landed a line
later: a contradictory same-effect trail (candidate was "plausible by code
trace, unexecuted" — now executed; reverting the fix reproduces exactly that
two-record trail).
Fix: tombstone the event in objects BEFORE the graph delete, matching the
conventions cascade_cue and tombstone_undo_targets already follow (both
tombstone before their graph delete — which is why the undo path never had this
bug). The bridging slur now sees X already dead during the cue cascade and
cascades once.
Regression: deleting_a_cue_source_does_not_leave_a_contradictory_repair_for_a_
bridging_slur_p13_d2 (built on a cue-bearing base with a bridging slur; asserts
exactly one CascadeDeleted, no Reanchored). Verified to fail without the fix.
940 tests, convergence/conformance green.
PASS13_CANDIDATES.md: P13-D2 resolved — batch CLOSED (all four candidates done).
