Ajani, Nacatl Pariah + Ashnod’s Intervention interaction BUG
Reproduction steps:
Battlefield has Ajani and the generated token cat for the opponent, and any attacking creature with 1 or more power for the player. Player has Ashnod’s intervention in hand. Player declares creature as attacking, opponent declares token cat as blocker. After blocker declaration, player casts Ashnod’s Intervention on Ajani, assuming they have mana available. Attack phase then goes to resolution, and opponent chooses to exile Ajani.
Platform: Windows
Actual results: Ajani transforms as normal.
Expected results: Ajani goes back to opponents hand instead of transforming

Ashnod's Intervention creates a triggerd ability not a replacement effect. As such, the trigger cannot go onto the stack, let alone resolve, while Ajani's ability is in the middle of resolving. And that resolution not only exiles Ajani, but also returns it as the planeswalker. Only after that return, when the ability has finished resolving, can the trigger from Ashnod's Invervention even be put on the stack, and only even later can it resolve. At that time it is already way too late for it to achieve anything, since the trigger could only track Ajani to the exile zone, but lost track when Ajani went back to the battlefield.
