What about the cases when the local playlist fragment is a main page tab?

This case can also be handled by these lines.
I tested this case on my device. It works fine.

Mmmh, I don't understand why those lines would handle it. If the fragment is a main page tab, then it is not the parent of the VideoDetailFragment anymore

I have added a supplementary video for this case. Did I understand you correctly?

NewPipe allows customizing main page tabs, and even insert local playlists there. See "Settings -> Content -> Content of main page -> + -> Playlist page". That option adds a playlist in the main page (not a "Bookmarked playlists" tab, but really a "Playlist" tab!).

What is it?
Description of the changes in your PR
The reason for this issue is an inconsistency between user interaction and database commit order.
Expected behavior
delete - commit (delete) - add - commit (add)
Actual behavior
delete - add - commit (add, commit immediately) - commit (delete, commit after ~10s due to the debouncedSaveSignal)
Best Solution
Removes all debounced commit strategies. Sequential consistency is guaranteed by database transactions.
But I don't know why the delete operation uses the deferred commit strategy. BTW, I realize PR #8221 could have many conflicts with this solution. So I took a conservative approach to fix it.
Current Solution
Concurrent operations on the playlist database occur if and only if the user opens both LocalPlaylistFragment and VideoDetailFragment as described in the related issue. So I force all delete operations to be committed to the database before adding.
