Closes #1567. Fourth layer of stack #1562, on #1566.

What happens

Delete a file other, unchanged files depend on and run an incremental update: the dependents are not re-parsed, so the graph differs from a clean index of the remaining tree. Derived loses its INHERITS edge entirely where a clean index records INHERITS ExternalModule Base; pkg/derived.py loses its import where a clean index records IMPORTS ExternalModule base; shape.cpp loses its include and its call where a clean index records the std.shape.h external and a module-anchored fallback method.

Why

_process_files asks CYPHER_AFFECTED_CALLER_PATHS for the dependents of the changed, non-new files only (issue #1229 phase 4). Deleted files were handled after Pass 2 and never entered that query, so a dependent of a deleted file was neither re-parsed nor restorable (its target is gone).

Fix

The deleted set is known before Pass 2 (hash-cache keys the eligible walk no longer finds, minus unreadable files); it joins the dependents query while the subtrees still exist to match against. The dependents then re-parse and resolve their references exactly as a clean index does. The later deletion path is unchanged.

Test

test_incremental_deleted_dependents.py indexes Java, Python and C++ two-file fixtures, deletes the depended-on file, runs an incremental update, and asserts the dependent's outgoing edges and the whole snapshot (File/Folder nodes aside, their paths differ between trees) equal a clean index of the remaining tree. All three red without the graph_updater.py change, green with it. 295 emulator, incremental and updater tests pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes

  • Incremental indexing now correctly reparses files that depend on deleted files.
  • Call and dependency relationships are updated accurately after deleting Java classes, Python modules, or C++ headers.
  • Deleted files that were previously processed through the Java source overlay are now handled correctly during incremental updates.

• Tests

  • Added regression coverage for deleted files with stale overlay data.
  • Verified incremental results remain consistent after file deletion.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Incremental graph updates now include deleted files that remain marked as Delombok-stale when they identify affected callers. A regression test verifies that the deleted file key reaches the dependents query.

Changes

Deleted dependent reparsing

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Include deleted Delombok-stale paths in affected-caller processing codebase_rag/graph_updater.py, codebase_rag/tests/test_incremental_deleted_dependents.py	The updater unions Delombok-stale keys with cached paths before filtering existing eligible files. The regression test verifies that a deleted stale file key reaches _affected_caller_keys.

Explanation

The changes satisfy issue #1567. Deleted files enter the affected-dependents query before subtree deletion, dependents are re-parsed, and regression tests cover Java, Python, and C++ clean-index equivalence.
