quest/m2/recut-held.md still required quest/m2/probe/stats-ticker.md. #8021 deletes that quest, so the link dangles and quest check fails on its head:

quest: quest/m2/recut-held.md:34: link does not resolve: /quest/m2/probe/stats-ticker.md
quest: quest/m2/recut-held.md:34: requires /quest/m2/probe/stats-ticker.md, which is not a quest document; make an outside condition its own quest

This drops the link, matching what #8021 already did to quest/m2/probe/README.md, and what #8074 did for browser-send-estimate.md (its patch is already on #8021's head).

It is a separate PR because the merge queue is holding #8021, and GitHub refuses any push to a queued branch. The change is safe in either order: while stats-ticker.md still exists the link resolves and this just drops a finished quest from recut-held.md's Required list, and once #8021 lands the link must go. If #8021's queue run is fixed by the land fixer first, this PR is redundant and can be closed.

Verified with a link sweep over quest/: no unresolved absolute links remain.

Automated review by review (OpenAI)

Reviewed head b08b4ad09caf81c3b5da401dee9a87dae27b2806 against base a57ce3f9989f86903fa4e46dafafcfd5a503aa2a.

No actionable findings in this one-line change. Removing the extra stats-ticker.md dependency from quest/m2/recut-held.md:34 (base line) addresses the dangling link introduced when #8021 deletes that quest. The ticker remains listed by its own epic on this branch, and the recut's plan still explicitly requires checking outstanding claims before moving an epic.

Direction: the narrow link cleanup is consistent with #8021. At review time, both main and #8021's inspected head still contain the removed bullet, so this fix is not yet redundant there.

Verification limits: GitHub source review only, covering the complete diff, surrounding recut/epic documents, and #8021's quest changes. I did not run quest context, quest check, or a repository-wide link sweep. The Check workflow for this head was still in progress when inspected; this is not a CI validation.

Closing as superseded: the same patch, applied unchanged, is now on moq-dev/moq#8021, which deletes the stats-ticker quest. The maintainer picked /quest-delete for this one.
