Keep superseded comparison in revision history; state only the live consequence that no stranding dependency remains

It also means the interesting pressure sits earlier: what to carry, how far to push, whether to spend a part on something in the station, and whether to commit to a rescue. Those choices all still bite, because capacity is still limited and what is spent or installed is still gone.

## A dependency that no longer exists
-
An earlier proposal here left carried equipment and salvage as a recoverable cache at the place of death, and compared that against an expedition rollback. The owner chose otherwise, and both the cache and its alternative are withdrawn rather than kept as live options. The dependency that arrangement created — a guaranteed minimum useful expedition after everything was cached — no longer exists, because nothing is left behind to strand the player.
+
Because nothing is left behind, the player cannot be stranded by a death. There is no need for a rule guaranteeing a minimum useful expedition after a loss, and other articles should not carry one on this account.
