When a script or macro passes a face from an earlier feature, the new Thickness becomes the Tip but bases itself on that earlier feature. Everything between silently drops out of the Body shape, and the new feature still shows Up-to-date with no error. The reporter calls it easy to miss, and it hits exactly the path agents use (Python, face names captured before later edits).
