`project_artist_cascade` is documented as "a read-only projection of what
delete_artist_cascade would touch" and drives the Tier-C confirm dialog,
but it counted only images, sources, thumbs, import_tasks and bytes. It
never counted posts or attachments, both of which the apply destroys.
That is silent in the worst case. `Post.artist_id` is ondelete=CASCADE, so
every post goes whether or not it carried an image — and FC has a large
body-only post population (#1288 measured 694 pixiv posts with text and no
images). Such an artist previewed as `images: 0`, reading as "empty, safe
to remove", while the apply destroyed every captured body, description,
external-link set and raw_metadata snapshot. The danger-zone card already
promised "every image, source, post, and attachment" — the copy was honest
and the numbers were not.
Root of the drift: the preview re-derived its own predicates instead of
sharing the apply's, the same shape as the 2026-06-08 fandom-tag deletion
that rule 93 exists for. So rather than bolt on two counts, both halves now
build from shared `_artist_{images,posts,attachments}_conditions` helpers,
following the `_unused_tag_conditions` / `_bare_post_conditions` style
already in the file. Sources keep no helper — the apply doesn't query them
either, it gets them from the Artist.sources ORM cascade.
The apply also now reports `posts_deleted` (counted before the delete,
since the CASCADE leaves nothing to count after). Rule 93's second half
asks for the apply to be tested, and parity is only assertable if both
halves state the number.
Adds a preview/apply parity test that runs both against one artist and
asserts the three pairs agree AND that the rows actually went, plus a
body-only-artist test covering the case that motivated this.
The confirm dialog's counts grid renders every key, so posts and
attachments surface there automatically; the prose summary line names
posts explicitly, since that is the number that changes how an artist
reads.
