Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Hi,

Your understanding of the code is correct, and this comment is indeed
misleading, it will be corrected.

Elaborating further on this topic, it is in principle conceivable that
two particles still overlap once their initially cohesive interaction
fails in tension (depending on the initial overlap at the interaction
creation, and interaction parameters)..

In case this scenario makes you uncomfortable, it is to note that it
totally depends on your simulation workflow as well, and would not
happen during a classical simulation workflow based on an initial
compression of a cloud (in which case interactions are created for
negligible overlap)
