now-sdk transform fails on key-shadowed deleted records

Environment

• SDK CLI Version: 4.7.2
• Host OS: Windows

---

Description

Executing now-sdk transform fails with a fatal error: Tried to check for equality before committing, but the target node (Block) could not be parsed when an active metadata record shares a name with a previously deleted record.

---

Root Cause

1. Target ID Key Shadowing: The local keys registry (keys.ts) matches records by name. If a record marked deleted: true shares a name with a newly active record, the SDK incorrectly resolves the active record's name to the deleted record's ID.
2. Missing Javascript Reference: Because of the shadowed ID, the compiler writes a .now.ts metadata block referencing the old ID in Now.include() (e.g., Now.include('./sn_aia_tool_[DELETED_ID].js')). It does not write the corresponding JS file because it generates the active one instead.
3. Committer Parser Crash: During the AST equality checks before writing files, the generator attempts to parse the referenced (but non-existent) shadowed JS file, causing the parser to crash.

---

Steps to Reproduce

1. Mark a record (e.g. sn_aia_tool) as deleted: true within keys.ts.
2. Create an active record of the same type with the exact same name but a different sys_id.
3. Run now-sdk transform.

Recommended Remediation

1. Filter Key Map: Prevent key matching from attempting to bind to cached records where deleted: true.
2. Graceful Committer Fallback: Update Committer.js to log a warning instead of completely crashing the execution when a source code file referenced in Now.include() cannot be found on disk.
