sticky-retraction-survives-recompute-all
IN premise
A node with `_retracted` metadata stays OUT even when `recompute_all()` re-evaluates the entire network — sticky retraction is a durable pin that only `assert_node` can clear
Summary
When a node is manually retracted, that retraction acts as a permanent override that persists through full network recomputation. The system won't accidentally restore a retracted node just because its logical supports are satisfied again — only an explicit re-assertion can bring it back, which prevents zombie beliefs from reappearing during maintenance cycles.
