Siphon Bullets Permanent HP Loss Bug

If someone purchases Siphon Bullets, kills a target repeatedly, and then sells siphon bullets, it makes it impossible for the enemy that was siphoned to regain the HP lost, no matter how many kills on the Siphon Bullets user they get after they sold the upgrade.

What is the proper behavior?
When you kill an enemy that has been siphoned the killer gains 1 stack of siphon, when the user of siphon is killed by the victim, they are meant to lose 2 stacks of siphon (or 1 if the killer only has 1 stack of siphon.) This means if you get 135 HP stolen from you by dying to siphon bullets 3 times, if you kill the siphon user you are meant to regain 90 max hp.

However here is where the bug comes in, if the siphon user sells Siphon Bullets, the siphon user loses all stacks of Siphon Bullets (and subsequently loses the max HP gained), but the victim never regains the Max HP they lost, even if they kill the user of Siphon Bullets. This is because when the user of Siphon Bullets dies, since they technically have 0 stacks of siphon since it was sold, the victim can never regain their HP.

(Theres a second bug too, kills with siphon bullets only grant 45 HP rather than 50 advertised, meaning Siphon Bullets never actually got the buff in the 10/10/2024 patch.)

But all siphon stacks are lost if item is sold right ?
Yes, but who the health was stolen from does not regain them upon killing the person who had siphon (When the intended behavior is that killing with siphon bullets gains 1 stack (45 hp) and dying with siphon bullets refunds 2 stacks back to the victim (90 hp), this bug is still ongoing
