I repotted a bridge/grandi graft that had been going like gangbusters until the weather cooled down. The other day there was a notable lean to the scion so I braced it, thinking maybe I repotted off vertical. Then I noticed that the rootstock had gotten a pretty soft, which was why it was leaning, and the scion was a little dessicated. I uprooted it fearing rot but it looks fine other than being squishy and dry. The roots look ok (if diminutive) and the graft is only like 6 months old. Is my rootstock failing? Is there anything I can do to recover?

Looks fine besides the tiny roots. Likely rotted or simply fell apart from desiccation.
