So, Hybrid Classes say:
Parent Classes: Each one of the following classes lists two classes that it draws upon to form the basis of its theme. While a character can multiclass with these parent classes, this usually results in redundant abilities. Such abilities don't stack unless specified.
Vivisectionist says:
At 1st level, a vivisectionist gains the sneak attack ability as a rogue of the same level. If a character already has sneak attack from another class, the levels from the classes that grant sneak attack stack to determine the effective rogue level for the sneak attack’s extra damage dice (so an alchemist 1/rogue 1 has a +1d6 sneak attack like a 2nd-level rogue, an alchemist 2/rogue 1 has a +2d6 sneak attack like a 3rd-level rogue, and so on).
So, has it ever been decided whether Slayer 3/Alchemist (vivisectionist) 4 gets:
2d6 sneak (from alchemist, they don't stack)
3d6 sneak, (2d6 from alchemist, 1d6 from delayed progression Slayer, cant find any rules to support it, but seems like it should work this way.)
or 4d6 sneak (Alchemist text specifies how rule stacks, so slayer 3 alchemist 4=rogue 7)
Looking for RAW as much as possible here. I didn't want to post in rules Q&A because when I searched I saw a lot of old arguments from 2012, so I wasn't sure there would be a simple answer, but everything I found was really before Slayer anyway.
