rebuild-dependents-clears-before-rebuilding
IN premise
`_rebuild_dependents()` wipes all existing dependent sets before recomputing from justifications, so stale entries are always removed rather than incrementally patched
Summary
When the system needs to update which beliefs depend on which, it starts fresh each time rather than trying to patch the old dependency records. This means you never end up with ghost dependencies left over from old justifications — the dependency graph is always a clean reflection of the current state of the network.
