Deleting an AI reply removed the text and left everything the turn did to the
numbers standing. `script_state` and `world_state` belong to the adventure
rather than to the node, so the row going away takes nothing back. Undo, retry,
a take and a branch switch all restore them; this endpoint never did.
The visible symptom was the cooldown clock, which lives in
`world_state._meta.last_changed` and holds a depth. A deleted turn left its
depth there, and the turn played in its place is played at that same depth, so
the referee refused the change as one that had happened this very turn — on a
turn the story no longer contains. Delete the reply because you did not like
the stat change it proposed, press Continue, and the same change comes back
marked "changed too recently". A script's state stacked the same way: the gold
a deleted turn paid out stayed paid, and the replacement turn paid it again.
The restore reads the tip's own outcome rather than the deleted node's
neighbour, which is what `switch` does. Deleting the newest turn then rewinds
to the node in front of it, and deleting one from the middle of the story
restores the state the adventure is already in, so the text goes and the
numbers stay.
The endpoint now takes the turn lock too, for the reason undo takes it: it
writes the shared state, and a turn that is still generating is about to write
it as well.
