With the new rules update, can you chain Janna to a Deathknell trigger to remove damage before a unit is killed?

Answer
Ruling: No, you cannot chain Janna during combat cleanup to prevent a unit from dying. During combat cleanup, chain items cannot be resolved, so Deathknell goes on as a pending item but you cannot react until after cleanup is complete, at which point the unit has already been put in the trash.
Sequence:
- Combat damage is assigned
- Combat cleanup begins (no reactions allowed during this phase)
- Units with lethal damage die
- Remaining units heal
- Deathknell triggers are added as pending items
- Cleanup completes
- You can now react, but the unit is already dead
Nuances:
- You could react with Janna after Deathknell triggers are finalized, but by that point units have already healed per special cleanup rules
- Deathknell units save all their info before death, so they can still trigger their effects properly
