Metal Knights healing tech is not a major deviation from the webcomic nor does it contradict anything from the webcomic. And while it's possible that Tatsumaki is fully healed, the fact that she is not in the webcomic is a fully valid reason to assume she might not be here. She also wasn't shown, stated, or implied to be weakened in the webcomic until it was outright shown when she tried to go all-out on Saitama, so I don't get that point very much.Other than you know, the existence of metal knights healing tech that bang pointed out as having made him feel better than ever regarding its effects, that we can deduce was used on all the heroes, and tatsumaki's very clearly healed hands and unlike in the webcomic, shown to be in tip top shape with no visible indication of even being the least bit below 100%.
Tatsumaki not being weakened is supported by all of these new details while your interpretation isn't even once eluded to, with the only thing holding it together is the mere possibility that it might follow the direction of the webcomic... in spite of the manga already adding all these contradicting details ._.
The "new details" don't really support it nor go against it, it's essentially a non-factor. She also had time to rest and recover with likely the best medical care attainable in the webcomic, with her injuries being VASTLY less severe than in the manga, so to say that because she was healed by Metal Knight in the manga somehow means that it doesn't make sense for her to be weakened like in the webcomic where she also received treatment is a bit odd. My "interpretation" hasn't been eluded to yeah, but the entire reason why the interpretation exists is because the manga is closely following the source material in which Tatsumaki is weakened. The past few chapters have mostly been nigh-identical to the webcomic, literally a replica outside of the art and addition of the Tsukuyomi group this early, even down to the dialogue, It is almost the exact same. There is no narrative reason to why this would be changed, it has no effect on the story outside of abruptly ending the "fight" between Tatsumaki and Saitama, if anything ONE used it as a plot device specifically for that purpose.
In the end, it's pretty much a coin toss on what ONE feels like doing with that small detail, no substantial argument for either side, and absolutely nothing to prove here. Only thing to do is wait and see what happens.
