Any necrotic patches on the main stem? you really could have anything from fusarium or verticillium wilt.... beginning stages of root rot.... all the way to caterpillars or boring beetles or other root pests....
Nope, nothing really looks amiss with the stems beyond the obvious. Somehow the plant suddenly and spontenouslyevacuated all the moisture in certain area of branches.
Because I had been doing some LST branches where crossing back and forth. The fate of the branch seemed to be determined more by where it was spatially than where it was connected to the plant.
I turned up the top two inches of soil to look for insects and there were none, not even gnats in the upper layer.
I considered yanking it out of the pot, but it's heavy and don't want to mess with it any more than necessary.
A lesson in how fragile they can be and will take some measures to improve the space
