Do not let a delete-event listener suppress the related report.

If an EVENT_DOCUMENT_DELETE listener throws during a delete without a caller-owned transaction, the row has already committed, but execution stops before $onRelated runs. Catch the listener failure or otherwise ensure that committed deletes still deliver their related reports. This listener runs before the new callback dispatch. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

In `@src/Database/Database.php` at line 8138, Ensure a throwing
EVENT_DOCUMENT_DELETE listener cannot prevent the related-report callback from
running after a delete commits without a caller-owned transaction. Update the
flow around the event trigger and $onRelated dispatch so the committed delete
still delivers its related reports while preserving the existing transaction
behavior.

Preserve later peer events when one update listener fails.

When the first EVENT_DOCUMENT_UPDATE listener throws, trigger() propagates the exception and the loop exits. The delete has already committed, so later surviving peers do not receive their update events. Run each peer event independently, then rethrow the first failure after all peers have been processed.

Suggested fix

             foreach ($related as $relation) {
-                $this->trigger(self::EVENT_DOCUMENT_UPDATE, $relation);
+                try {
+                    $this->trigger(self::EVENT_DOCUMENT_UPDATE, $relation);
+                } catch (\Throwable $th) {
+                    $failure ??= $th;
+                }
+            }
+
+            if ($failure !== null) {
