Losing maximum resolve when at 1 maximum resolve

I'm getting ready to attempt a no-hit run with the Original Scripture relic and I wanted to verify some behavior before I jump in.

At the beginning of the league, there were many reddit posts and screenshots (of people dead with 0 resolve in the pact/reward room) with players warning not to take accursed pacts that reduce your maximum resolve by 25% - 50% with 1 maximum resolve because it instantly kills you. However, afflictions that reduce your max resolve by a flat amount do not kill you and leave you at 1 maximum resolve.

However, more recently I've seen video evidence of players with 1 maximum resolve (but with some inspiration) taking those -25% or -50% maximum resolve afflictions without lowering their resolve to 0 (and dying).

Was there some patch/behavior change in the past few weeks? I would like to get some official confirmation that taking afflictions/pacts that lower your maximum resolve by either a flat amount or a percentage will not immediately reduce your resolve to 0 and kill you if you only have 1 maximum resolve.

Thanks so much for the help and the great league!

It is doubtful you will get any official confirmation because GGG simply doesn't do that.

There is a YTer named Asmodeus who uploaded his full no-hit run. I believe he took some of those -% max resolve things and lived but it's been a few days since I've seen it. If you want to be sure, I would suggest you find that video and watch it through.

Any update on that? i got the pact that changes all resolve but 1 to inspiration and after that i clicked "lose 50% max resolve for something" and lived. unfortunately i had a gain max resolve on boss kill relic so i couldn't test any more accursed pacts with only 1 resolve. it would be great to be certain before i attempt my no hit run.
