Table View + Core Data + Soft deletions - need to fix animations

Hello all,

I am using soft deletion with NSFetchedResultsController meaning I am setting wasDeleted flag to true and then filter out these items. I have the standard delegate methods implemented that handle Table View updates (controller(_:didChange:at:for:newIndexPath:)) which works but the animation for deletion is wrong because it thinks that it is an update and not deletion so I get blank space and then the cells reorder.

I thought Diffable Data Source may solve it so I have implemented it but the issue is exactly the same meaning wrong animation on delete.

Is this too far an edge case? Should I instead opt for another model that will store deleted stuff (I need it for iCloud cleanup) and just delete those entities regularly?
