So I’m very curious about the status of Arazni in 2e, and while I think the answer has been intentionally unclear, I’d love to hear others’ thoughts on what’s up with her in the current setting. TG has her take (perhaps intentionally) the brunt of an attack from Tar-Baphon’s Radiant Fire, in what certainly seemed to me like her hoping to finally die and end her undead state, and her subsequent vanishing from that adventure path reinforced this idea. But then in the LOWG, we see not only no mention of her being gone, but new art of her looking healthier than ever, along with a sidebar and a glossary description listing her as a goddess with active worshipers still.
Where does this leave Arazni? Did the Radiant Fire merely destroy her body, allowing her to return to divinity (perhaps more than just the demigod she once was)? Do her followers not know she’s gone yet?

Well, we know she isn't dead dead; if she was truly gone then she would no longer be able to grant spellcasting (ie Aroden and other dead gods).
We can also assume that her portfolio has stayed the same after getting nuked - otherwise she wouldn't be granting spells to the same people she did before. As such she's likely still undead, though liberated from Tar Baphon's influence.
Can't say much that isn't speculation past this. I imagine she'd continue to feature in the fight against Tar Baphon, and may end up as a Sylvanas-like figure and serve as the patron to undead who never asked for this would revolt against the Whispering Way.

So what you’re telling me is that I need to play a Duskwalker Oracle of Arazni?

She's listed in the LOWG Glossary as 'the NE God of the abused, dignity, and unwilling undeath'.
So her areas of concern are actually very different from her listed ones in PF1 after having been freed (though they match the description of her non-Gebbite worshipers). My interpretation is that she's probably 'dead' in the sense of not walking around Golarion any more, but she's definitely free and acting as a God.
