+fix: stop a mounted observer from re-creating and refetching a removed
+query. The read layer bumps its per-hook version signal on every cache
+event for its hash, `removed` included, and the recompute that followed
+called `queryCache.build()`, which put the entry the caller had just
+deleted straight back. The resurrection was not passive: the rebuilt
+entry also re-pointed the still-live observer, whose mount-fetch policy
+then refetched and repopulated the key, so `removeQueries()` (and
+`clear()`) could not be made to stick while any hook observed the key.
+`query()` now reuses the entry it last read when the cache no longer
+holds that hash, and only builds when the hash is genuinely new, so a
+removal leaves the cache empty and fires no fetch, while the mounted
+reader holds its last value until options change or a real entry returns
+through `setQueryData`, a refetch or a later mount. This is the behavior
+of the other adapters, and of solid-query at 6.0.0-rc.0.
