His presence makes Putin look weak. So will it be his plane, the stairs falling on him, or a more direct message of plausibly deniable assassination?

I think plane is the most probable. Blame it on Ukraine and send a reminder message about Prigozhin at the same time. Assad has less than a year left IMO.
