Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with conditional_formatting_cell_is.xlsx: delete the cell content and compare recalculation of that cell with the other cells. Trace the conditional-formatting recalculation path, then verify that the deleted cell updates correctly without regressing recalculation elsewhere.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Other cells are recalculated, but the one that was just deleted is not.
Test in "conditional_formatting_cell_is.xlsx".
