Touched and TouchEnded events fire on equipment change

When a detector part attached to a character touches a touch part, equipping, unequipping, or changing equipment causes TouchEnded to fire and then Touched to fire again.

When it started happening: I just noticed this bug 1 hour ago on 2/6/2025 10 PM PST. A quick google search reveals that this bug has existed in the engine for over 6 years [ TouchEnded fires when you Equip/Unequip a tool ] [ Seems like equiping a tool triggers a part's touch ended event ] [ TouchEnded triggering after unequipping a tool? ].

Expected behavior

Changing equipment (equipping, unequipping, and equipment swapping) should not trigger touchEnded and touched events on parts parented to a character.
