(19=48)r3c26,r9c6 - (4|8=29)r7c24 - (2|9)r7c7[contradiction] => +1r3c6; stte
I think one could also use Steve's split-nodes approach by replacing the first node above with (1=9)r3c6 - (9=[4r3c2]&[8r9c6]) - ...
Added: These contradiction chains might be considered equivalent to (undesired) T&E applied to bivalue cell (19)r3c6.
Comments welcome.

I can see an argument for contradiction chains being similar to T&E. I would prefer something like 9r9c6 = r7c4 - (9=24)r7c27 - (4=9)r3c2 => -9 r3c6 for your solution.
