Delete workflow with Push/Remove Now + Delete Content — content not removed from higher environment

Problem Statement

When a Delete workflow action includes both Push/Remove Now (pushRemove=true) and Delete content subactions, the content is deleted from the lower (source) environment but is never removed from the higher (target) environment and remains published there.

This affects any setup using a delete workflow that pushes remove to remote environments and then deletes locally.

Impact: content that should be removed from all environments stays live on higher environments, causing inconsistency and potential compliance/accuracy issues.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Configure a workflow Delete action with two subactions: Push/Remove Now(with "Push Remove" enabled, targeting the higher environment) and Delete content (order may be either way).
2. On the lower environment, run the Delete workflow action on a piece of content that is published to the higher environment.
3. Observe: content is deleted from the lower environment.
4. Observe: content remains published on the higher environment (not unpublished/deleted).

Acceptance Criteria

• With Push/Remove Now + Delete content in a Delete workflow action, content is removed (unpublished/deleted) on the higher environment when the workflow runs.
• Behaviour is correct regardless of actionlet order (Push/Remove Now before or after Delete content), or order is documented and enforced so the correct sequence works reliably.

Start by tracing the Delete workflow entry point and the Push/Remove Now and Delete content subactions described in the reproduction steps. Reproduce the workflow against lower and higher environments with both actionlet orders, then verify that the content is unpublished or deleted on the higher environment regardless of order.
