// A soft-dropped ledger still has a (retracted) record: `exists`
// is "is there a record", not "is it live".
// A soft-dropped ledger reads as absent. The record survives on a
// tombstoning nameservice so admin tooling can read the retracted
// flag, but `exists` is a query-path question: a dropped ledger must
// not load or serve queries, so it must not report as existing
// either. See 43d758610 (#1716).
